Description

Technical Field

[0002] Endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy is an effective means of maintaining a clear airway. Critically ill patients with poor respiratory function who require mechanical ventilation are usually intubated first (generally retained for 7-14 days). If respiratory function is not effectively corrected and mechanical ventilation is still required, a tracheostomy is necessary, followed by placement of a tracheostomy tube (generally retained for 30 days).

[0003] For adults, the average length of the tracheostomy channel (the distance from the skin to the anterior wall of the trachea) is 2.6 ± 0.7 cm (1.8-5.5 cm for men and 1.5-4.2 cm for women), and the average length of the trachea (the distance from the tracheal opening to the carina) is 4.3 cm (range 2.2-6.6 cm). For endotracheal intubation, the catheter markings are generally 22-25 cm from the incisors for adult men and 21-24 cm for women. The insertion depth of the catheter into the trachea in adults is 4-5 cm.

[0004] Currently, the length of endotracheal tubes is usually fixed. However, due to individual differences among patients, such as height, body shape, and neck length, a fixed-length endotracheal tube may not be suitable for all patients, resulting in tubes that are too short or too long, affecting the intubation effect and patient comfort.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an improved version of tracheotomy intubation to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
