Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical products, and in particular to a endotracheal intubation support device. Background Technology

[0002] Endotracheal intubation is a medical tube inserted into a patient's airway through the mouth or nose to assist breathing, relieve airway obstruction, and suction airway secretions. Endotracheal intubation is commonly used for comatose patients, those with airway obstruction, or those with excessive airway secretions that cannot be cleared spontaneously.

[0003] Endotracheal intubation is often used in conjunction with a ventilator, at which time there will be... Figure 1 The problem is as follows: When the patient is lying down, the portion of the endotracheal tube inserted into the airway is upward; however, the end of the endotracheal tube connects to the ventilator tubing. Due to the weight of the ventilator tubing, the portion of the endotracheal tube protruding from the patient's body bends downward. This results in a significant bend at the junction of the two parts of the endotracheal tube inside and outside the patient's body, drastically reducing the ventilation area and potentially preventing ventilation. To address this issue, hospitals currently often use a method of suspending the junction of the endotracheal tube and the ventilator tubing to elevate the area and prevent excessive bending of the endotracheal tube. However, this method requires a fixed device above the patient's head, neck, or chest to suspend the endotracheal tube, which is often not readily available, making its application challenging.

[0004] In addition, some patents disclose endotracheal tubes with stronger bending resistance, such as the endotracheal tubes disclosed in patents with application numbers 202221066223.4 and 202120257432.6, but these do not solve the problem of excessive bending of existing endotracheal tubes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an endotracheal tube lifter that can support the endotracheal tube and prevent it from bending excessively.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: the endotracheal tube lifter includes an airbag body and an inflation connector set on the airbag body. The bottom surface of the airbag body is a placement plane, and the middle of the top of the airbag body has a positioning groove set in the front-back direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the airbag body is made of inelastic plastic film.

[0008] Furthermore, the distance between the bottom of the positioning groove and the placement surface is not less than 7cm.

[0009] Furthermore, the airbag body has a partition layer, which is 2-3 cm away from the placement surface. The partition layer divides the internal space of the airbag body into an upper inflation chamber and a lower inflation chamber. There are two inflation connectors, which are connected to the upper inflation chamber and the lower inflation chamber respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the endotracheal intubation support includes two connecting pieces, which are located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the airbag body and connected to the airbag body.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting piece has pin holes.

[0012] Furthermore: the endotracheal intubation lifter includes an alert; it includes a shield, and the airbag body has an L-shaped groove, the L-shaped groove being located at the rear end of the airbag body and extending downward from the bottom of the positioning groove; the shield is positioned behind the L-shaped groove and connected to the airbag body, and the shield has a switch hole; the alert includes a switch and a button, the alert is placed inside the L-shaped groove, the switch extends from the switch hole, the button faces upward and its top is higher than the bottom surface of the positioning groove; the alert sounds when the button is not pressed.

[0013] Furthermore, the reminder includes a reminder housing, a battery, a swing plate, a tension spring, a first fixed electrode, a second fixed electrode, a movable electrode, and a sound generator; a switch is mounted on the side plate of the reminder housing; a button is mounted on the top plate of the reminder housing and can move up and down; the battery, swing plate, tension spring, first fixed electrode, second fixed electrode, movable electrode, and sound generator are all located inside the reminder housing; one end of the swing plate is hinged to the reminder housing, and the movable electrode is connected to the other end of the swing plate; the first fixed electrode and the second fixed electrode are spaced apart above the movable electrode; one electrode of the battery, the switch, the sound generator, and the first fixed electrode are electrically connected in sequence, and the other electrode of the battery is electrically connected to the second fixed electrode; the tension spring is connected to the reminder housing and the swing plate, and the tension spring pulls the swing plate up to support the button and to bring the movable electrode into contact with the first and second fixed electrodes; when the button is pressed, the movable electrode disengages from the first and second fixed electrodes.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the usage of this utility model is as follows Figure 4 As shown, after inflating the endotracheal tube lifter, it is placed on the patient's chest, and the exposed portion of the endotracheal tube is positioned in the positioning groove. The endotracheal tube lifter supports the endotracheal tube, and the positioning groove restricts relative movement between the endotracheal tube and the lifter. Because the endotracheal tube lifter supports the endotracheal tube, it prevents it from bending downwards, thus avoiding excessive bending of the endotracheal tube which would significantly reduce the ventilation area and cause obstruction, ensuring smooth ventilation.

[0015] This invention has a simple structure, low cost, and strong practicality; it is also very light and will not cause pressure when placed on the patient's chest; it does not require any special environmental conditions or items around the patient, making it easy to use.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the endotracheal tube lifter includes an airbag body 1-1 and an inflation connector 1-2 disposed on the airbag body 1-1. The bottom surface of the airbag body 1-1 is a placement plane 1-1-1, and the top of the airbag body 1-1 has a positioning groove 1-1-2 arranged in the front-to-back direction in the middle.

[0029] The usage of this utility model is as follows: Figure 4As shown, after inflating the endotracheal tube lifter, it is placed on the patient's chest, and the exposed portion of the endotracheal tube 3 is placed into the positioning groove 1-1-2. The endotracheal tube lifter supports the endotracheal tube 3, and the positioning groove 1-1-2 restricts the relative movement of the endotracheal tube 3 and the endotracheal tube lifter. Because the endotracheal tube lifter supports the endotracheal tube 3, it prevents it from bending downwards, thus avoiding excessive bending of the endotracheal tube 3 which would lead to a significant reduction in ventilation area and obstruction, ensuring smooth ventilation of the endotracheal tube.

[0030] This invention has a simple structure, low cost, and strong practicality; it is also very light and will not cause pressure when placed on the patient's chest; it does not require any special environmental conditions or items around the patient, making it easy to use.

[0031] The main body of the airbag 1-1 can be manufactured with reference to existing toy helium balloons, using a non-elastic plastic film; to avoid damage, the thickness should be relatively thick, approximately 0.5mm. The inflation connector 1-2 is a standard inflation connector, which may include a connector tube and a cap covering the connector tube. The placement surface 1-1-1 is used for placement on the patient's chest. The endotracheal tube lifter is used to lift the endotracheal tube 3; its height is preferably such that the endotracheal tube 3 is basically horizontal or slightly upturned after being placed on it. For adult patients, it is preferable that the distance between the bottom surface of the positioning groove 1-1-2 and the placement surface 1-1-1 is no less than 7cm to achieve this effect.

[0032] To make this invention also applicable to pediatric patients, it can be as follows: Figure 5 As shown: The airbag body 1-1 has a partition 1-3 inside. The distance between the partition 1-3 and the placement plane 1-1-1 is 2-3cm. The partition 1-3 divides the internal space of the airbag body 1-1 into an upper inflation chamber 1-1-3 and a lower inflation chamber 1-1-4. There are two inflation connectors 1-2. The two inflation connectors 1-2 are connected to the upper inflation chamber 1-1-3 and the lower inflation chamber 1-1-4 respectively.

[0033] When using this product for adult patients, inflate both the upper inflation chamber 1-1-3 and the lower inflation chamber 1-1-4 to raise the positioning groove 1-1-2. When using this product for pediatric patients, inflate only the upper inflation chamber 1-1-3 to lower the height of the positioning groove 1-1-2.

[0034] The aforementioned endotracheal tube lifter, placed on the patient's chest, is very light and relies primarily on the endotracheal tube 3 to restrict its movement, making it somewhat unreliable. Therefore, this invention can be further improved as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the endotracheal intubation support includes two connecting pieces 1-4, which are located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the airbag body 1-1 and connected to the airbag body 1-1.

[0035] In this way, a paperclip can be used to pierce the connecting piece 1-4 to fix the endotracheal tube lifter to the patient's clothing, preventing the endotracheal tube lifter from moving and thus more reliably lifting the endotracheal tube 3. Alternatively, a paperclip hole 1-4-1 can be provided on the connecting piece 1-4, through which a distinguishing needle passes.

[0036] The positioning groove 1-1-2 of this utility model can restrict the movement of the endotracheal tube 3, but there is still a possibility that the ventilator tubing may move and cause the endotracheal tube 3 to be pulled out of the positioning groove 1-1-2, which may also lead to excessive bending of the endotracheal tube 3. Therefore, this utility model can... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the endotracheal tube lifter includes an alert device 2; it includes a shield 1-5, and an L-shaped groove 1-1-5 on the airbag body 1-1, the L-shaped groove 1-1-5 being located at the rear end of the airbag body 1-1 and extending downward from the bottom of the positioning groove 1-1-2; the shield 1-5 is positioned behind the L-shaped groove 1-1-5 and connected to the airbag body 1-1, and the shield 1-5 has a switch hole 1-5-1; the alert device 2 includes a switch 2-2 and a button 2-3, the alert device 2 being placed inside the L-shaped groove 1-1-5, the switch 2-2 extending from the switch hole 1-5-1, and the button 2-3 facing upward with its top higher than the bottom surface of the positioning groove 1-1-2; the alert device 2 emits an audible sound when the button 2-3 is not pressed.

[0037] The L-shaped groove 1-1-5 and the obstruction plate 1-5 together restrict the removal of the reminder device 2. When the endotracheal tube 3 is inserted into the positioning groove 1-1-2, it presses against the button 2-3, and the reminder device 2 does not sound. When the endotracheal tube 3 is removed from the positioning groove 1-1-2, the button 2-3 is not pressed, and an sound is emitted to remind medical staff to check and handle the situation in a timely manner to avoid affecting the patient's normal breathing. Specifically, when using the reminder device 2, first turn it off with the switch 2-2, insert it into the L-shaped groove 1-1-5, place the endotracheal tube 3 on the button 2-3, and then turn the reminder device 2 on. The switch 2-2 extends from the switch hole 1-5-1 for easy switching of the reminder device 2.

[0038] The specific structure of the reminder device 2 can be as follows: Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the reminder device 2 includes a reminder housing 2-1, a battery 2-9, a swing plate 2-4, a tension spring 2-5, a first fixed electrode 2-7, a second fixed electrode 2-8, a movable electrode 2-6, and a sound generator 2-10; a switch 2-2 is mounted on the side plate of the reminder housing 2-1; a button 2-3 is mounted on the top plate of the reminder housing 2-1 and can move up and down; the battery 2-9, swing plate 2-4, tension spring 2-5, first fixed electrode 2-7, second fixed electrode 2-8, movable electrode 2-6, and sound generator 2-10 are all located inside the reminder housing 2-1; one end of the swing plate 2-4 is hinged to the reminder housing 2-1, and the movable electrode 2-6 is hinged to the other end of the swing plate 2-4. The first fixed electrode 2-7 and the second fixed electrode 2-8 are spaced apart and positioned above the movable electrode 2-6. One electrode of the battery 2-9, the switch 2-2, the sound generator 2-10, and the first fixed electrode 2-7 are electrically connected in sequence, and the other electrode of the battery 2-9 is electrically connected to the second fixed electrode 2-8. The tension spring 2-5 is connected to the reminder housing 2-1 and the swing plate 2-4. The tension spring 2-5 pulls the swing plate 2-4 to support the button 2-3 and to make the movable electrode 2-6 contact the first fixed electrode 2-7 and the second fixed electrode 2-8. When the button 2-3 is pressed, the movable electrode 2-6 disengages from the first fixed electrode 2-7 and the second fixed electrode 2-8.

[0039] When the switch is turned on, the tension spring 2-5 pulls the swing plate 2-4 upward, causing the movable electrode 2-6 to contact the first fixed electrode 2-7 and the second fixed electrode 2-8. This connects the battery 2-9, switch 2-2, first fixed electrode 2-7, second fixed electrode 2-8, movable electrode 2-6, and sound generator 2-10 in series, creating a conductive circuit. The sound generator 2-10 is then powered and emits a sound. When button 2-3 is pressed, the movable electrode 2-6 disengages from the first fixed electrode 2-7 and the second fixed electrode 2-8, the circuit is broken, and the sound generator 2-10 is not powered and does not emit a sound. The reminder device 2 should be as lightweight as possible, and the battery 2-9 should be a button cell battery.
