Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sputum suction technology, and more specifically, to a sputum suction device for severe respiratory illnesses. Background Technology

[0002] Maintaining a clear airway is crucial in the treatment of critically ill respiratory patients, making suctioning a key nursing procedure. While existing suction devices can perform basic suctioning functions, they have several drawbacks.

[0003] On the one hand, the residual gas inside the suction device after sputum suction contains a large number of bacteria. If it is not promptly and properly discharged or sealed, this gas will accumulate inside the device, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Due to the unreasonable gas discharge design of existing devices, the discharge process is cumbersome and difficult to completely expel the gas, allowing bacteria to multiply rapidly. This not only reduces the hygiene level of the device but also poses a serious threat to the patient's health, easily leading to complications such as secondary respiratory infections during subsequent use, hindering the patient's recovery process, and affecting the treatment effect.

[0004] On the other hand, some suction devices lack effective filtration measures, failing to filter bacteria and impurities during gas discharge. This results in contaminated gas being directly released into the surrounding environment, increasing the risk of cross-infection and posing potential harm to the health of medical staff and other patients. Furthermore, some suction devices suffer from unscientific overall structural designs, inconvenient operation, and poor stability, impacting the work efficiency of medical staff and the accuracy of suctioning procedures. Therefore, developing a respiratory critical care suction device with efficient gas discharge, good filtration performance, ease of operation, and structural stability is urgently needed.
