Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, it relates to a universal adjustable fixing bracket for ventilator tubing with a condensate alarm function. Background Technology

[0002] Mechanical ventilation is an effective method of respiratory support for critically ill patients. Ventilator tubing refers to the tubing connecting the ventilator to the patient and all devices that may be connected to these tubing. These devices need to be properly secured using a ventilator support. During mechanical ventilation treatment, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a major complication, which can increase patient mortality, prolong ICU stay, and increase hospitalization costs. Active humidification during mechanical ventilation produces condensate, and VAP often increases in incidence due to condensate backflow. Fluid accumulation in the tubing caused by the condensate cup not being at its lowest position, leading to respiratory distress, is also a serious complication of mechanical ventilation. Condensate accumulation and ensuring the condensate cup is at its lowest position are important clinical measures for preventing VAP. Therefore, proper fixation of the ventilator tubing is particularly important. Application No. 202321165250.1 discloses an auxiliary support structure for ventilator tubing. The connecting block is locked and fixed to the upright by a locking screw. The height and orientation of the support component can be adjusted. The two-stage clamping method of the first and second tubing clamps effectively extends the fixing part, avoids excessive bending of the tubing, and ensures smooth gas flow in the tubing. However, it has the problem of limited tubing position adjustment range and inconvenience of use.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for securing ventilator tubing in clinical settings include: 1. Original ventilator mounting brackets; 2. Belts or straps; 3. Other self-made ventilator supports. However, these methods all have significant drawbacks: Original ventilator mounting brackets: The support arms are adjustable in sections, with few movable joints, resulting in high costs and expensive replacements after damage; the adjustment range is limited, and it is difficult to keep the condensate collection cup at its lowest position; Belts or straps: Adjusting the tubing position is difficult and time-consuming, and the condensate collection cup cannot be kept at its lowest position; Other self-made ventilator supports: The adjustment and fixation range is limited; the condensate collection cup is difficult to keep at its lowest position, and it is not easy to detect when the condensate collection cup is full. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a solution to the problems of limited adjustment range of the ventilator tubing, few support joints, difficulty in adjustment, difficulty in keeping the water collection cup at the lowest position, and inability to detect the problem of the water collection cup being full of condensate in a timely manner. This solution provides a ventilator tubing universal adjustment and fixing bracket with a condensate alarm function that can effectively support the ventilator tubing, avoid pulling on the endotracheal tube, keep the water collection cup at the lowest position, achieve universal adjustment, and is easy to operate.

By adjusting the threads, the ball head seat wraps around and locks the ball head, and the ball head rotates within the ball head receiving cavity to achieve multi-angle pivoting.

[0007] In one embodiment: the bidirectional ball joint fixator includes a dual-head converter, a first ball joint seat, and a locking knob. The dual-head converter has screw holes at both ends, and the screw holes at both ends are threaded to the first ball joint seat. The two first ball joint seats are locked by two locking knobs.

[0008] In one embodiment: the first ball head seat includes a base, with several wrapping pieces integrally extending above the base. The wrapping pieces have gaps between them, and the several wrapping pieces form a ball head receiving cavity. The wrapping pieces are provided with external threads on their outer periphery. The other end of the first base is provided with a screw that mates with a screw hole. The inner side of the locking knob is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external threads on the outer periphery of the wrapping pieces. The locking knob is fitted with the wrapping pieces and threadedly fixed to the first ball head seat. By adjusting the threads, the first ball head seat is used to wrap around and lock the ball head, and the ball head is rotated within the first ball head seat to achieve multi-angle pivoting.

[0009] In one embodiment: the support arm is a flexible adjustable metal support arm.

[0010] In one embodiment: the branch bracket is triangular in shape, with a ball head symmetrically arranged below it and a ball head seat arranged above it. The ball head, ball head seat and branch bracket are integrated and connected.

[0013] In one embodiment: the water level alarm includes a water level detection module, the other side of which is provided with a clip, and the water level detection module is connected to a buzzer (73) and a power supply via a wire.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] Firstly, by perfectly combining a metal flexible arm and a ball joint fixator, the support frame fixing point, support arm, and branch support fixing head are adjustable, and the support provides a certain degree of support for the ventilator tubing, eliminating the problem of tubing entanglement.
