Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to medical field especially, relate to a kind of oxygenator-negative pressure system connector and volatile anesthetic waste gas purification system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In medical practice, severe cardiovascular disease often needs to be treated by cardiac surgery, and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can be considered as an essential condition and guarantee for current cardiac surgery. The use of volatile anesthetic gas during cardiopulmonary bypass is an effective means to control blood pressure and improve microcirculation perfusion, which brings good prognosis to patients. However, the volatile waste gas discharged from the membrane hollow fiber oxygenator after using volatile anesthetic gas is usually directly discharged into the operating room environment without treatment or effective purification, which poses a certain risk to the health of medical personnel. Especially in some long-term cardiopulmonary bypass surgeries, it will exacerbate the impact on the health of medical personnel.

[0003] To solve the above problems, the skilled person in the art has proposed a variety of structures of volatile anesthetic waste gas purification devices. For example, the patent with publication number CN206881460U proposes a surgical room anesthetic waste gas discharge device, the patent with publication number CN115999355A proposes a surgical room nursing anesthetic waste gas treatment device, and the patent with publication number CN113318576A proposes an anesthetic department anesthetic waste gas extraction device.

Even if it is theoretically suitable, it also needs a long conversion process.

[0005] The central negative pressure system is widely used in operating rooms (or rescue rooms, wards, and other medical environments), mainly for suction of sputum, blood, pus, and other internal pollutants. The negative pressure system uses the vacuum pump set of the central suction station to achieve the required negative pressure value of the suction system pipeline. By forming a negative pressure environment, it controls the flow of air from high pressure to low pressure to prevent the spread of pollutants. This system is also equipped with high-efficiency filters to filter out harmful substances such as microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances in the air. It can discharge waste gas from the isolation area through the pipeline and filter and treat it before discharge to ensure that it will not cause secondary pollution.

[0006] With the development of technology, in most medical institutions, the central negative pressure system has a special interface (usually marked as VAC) in the operating room; a special connector is also needed for connection when performing negative pressure suction and other operations, otherwise the VAC interface will be automatically closed due to the protective setting, such a connector is generally expensive and cannot be universal, and at present there is no special connector between the membrane oxygenator and the VAC interface.
