Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the instrument that will medium input in the human body or to the instrument on the human body, such as trachea with cannula, specifically related to a tracheostomy cannula that can be washed in the process of cannula. BACKGROUND
[0002] Tracheotomy is to cut open the neck section of the trachea and insert a metal trachea cannula or a silicone cannula, which is a common operation to relieve laryngeal respiratory difficulty, respiratory dysfunction or respiratory difficulty caused by retention of lower respiratory tract secretions. There are two problems in the process of this operation. First, the process of inserting the tracheostomy cannula after tracheotomy cannot be visualized. The current tracheostomy cannula can only solve the problem of visualization after insertion, but cannot solve the problem of visualization during insertion. It is very important to realize the visualization of the insertion process, otherwise it is easy to insert the tracheostomy cannula into the soft tissue in front of the neck instead of the trachea, causing trauma to the soft tissue in front of the neck or even subcutaneous emphysema, and aggravating the problem of airway obstruction in patients. The wrong placement of the cannula may even cause suffocation and death in the patient within a few minutes. Second, after the current tracheostomy cannula is inserted, the blood continuously flowing out of the tracheostomy stoma will accumulate in the gap between the trachea and the tracheostomy cannula. Due to the blockage of the tracheostomy cannula cuff, the blood cannot continue to flow to the distal end of the trachea and be sucked out. These accumulated blood in the gap may cause infection, and more importantly, if the tracheostomy cannula needs to be removed, the blood clots may block the trachea after the tracheostomy cannula is removed, causing suffocation and death in the patient within a few minutes. There is currently no tracheostomy cannula that can solve the above two problems during tracheostomy. SUMMARY
[0003] The utility model embodiment provides a tracheostomy cannula that can be visualized and washed during cannulation, which can visualize cannulation and fully wash the blood in the gap between the trachea and the tracheostomy cannula during long-term indwelling.

A miniature camera two and a cold light source two are provided at the end of the distal end of the tube core. The miniature camera one and the miniature camera two are respectively electrically connected to an OTG interface one and an OTG interface two through wires. The OTG interface one and the OTG interface two are electrically connected to an external display terminal.
[0005] In some embodiments, the outer tube is further provided with a second annular tube adjacent to the annular balloon, the second annular tube is uniformly distributed with at least four suction holes two along the circumference and connected with a second flushing suction end through a third thin tube in the wall of the outer tube.
