Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a dental pad for continuous body temperature monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Endotracheal intubation is widely used in various medical fields requiring general anesthesia. General anesthesia necessitates securing the endotracheal tube to prevent displacement. In recent years, the Anesthesia Quality Control Center has incorporated four indicators into its core quality control indicators for anesthesia: the rate of hypothermia detection during general anesthesia, the rate of active warming during surgery, the incidence of hypothermia during anesthesia and surgery, and the incidence of hypothermia upon admission to the recovery room. Perioperative temperature monitoring is the cornerstone of prevention and intervention; therefore, how to effectively and continuously monitor patients' body temperature during anesthesia is an urgent issue to be addressed.

[0003] Most current temperature probes need to be placed separately in the nasopharynx, rectum, and esophagus for measurement. Nasopharyngeal placement carries risks of bleeding and cross-infection. Furthermore, after endotracheal intubation is secured, it needs to be placed separately, leading to potential omissions in practice. Currently published technologies attach temperature probes to airway devices such as endotracheal tubes and laryngeal masks, but these likely measure the temperature inside the tube, and their accuracy is affected by exhaled air, resulting in errors compared to esophageal temperature. Because different surgeries require different airway tools, non-intubated general anesthesia is widely used in day surgery, limiting the application of combined endotracheal intubation and laryngeal mask temperature measurement. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above analysis, the present invention aims to provide a dental pad for continuous body temperature monitoring, in order to solve at least one of the following problems in existing surgical anesthesia: difficulty in continuously monitoring patient body temperature, inaccurate body temperature monitoring, and poor versatility of intraoperative body temperature monitoring devices.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is mainly achieved through the following technical solution: a dental pad for continuous body temperature monitoring, characterized in that it includes a tube body, a fixed base, a temperature measuring channel and a temperature monitoring component, wherein the fixed base is circumferentially connected to the outer wall of the tube body, the temperature measuring channel is built into the lower part of the tube body, and the temperature monitoring component passes through the temperature measuring channel and enters the lingual side of the mouth.

[0006] Preferably, the fixing base has grooves on both sides.

[0007] For example, the inner wall of the groove is provided with silicone anti-slip contacts.

[0008] Specifically, the fixing base is provided with fixing holes at diagonal positions.

[0009] Furthermore, the tube body includes a core and a wall, and the lower outer wall of the temperature measuring channel is part of the wall.

[0010] Preferably, the arc length of the lower outer wall of the temperature measuring channel is 1 / 15 to 1 / 12 of the circumference of the pipe wall.

[0011] For example, the core is a hollow structure.

[0012] It should be noted that the fixing base divides the tube into an inner part and an outer part, and the outer side of the inner part of the tube is wrapped with a silicone layer.

[0013] Preferably, the silicone layer has threads on its exterior.

[0014] Furthermore, the temperature monitoring component includes a guide wire, a silicone fixing head, and a temperature monitoring probe. One end of the guide wire is connected to the temperature monitoring probe, and the other end passes through the silicone fixing head and is connected to an external body temperature receiving and display device.

[0015] Specifically, the temperature monitoring probe includes a heat-conducting wire and an infrared body temperature probe; the guide wire part consists of a heat-conducting wire wrapped with a silicone outer sheath and a molded guide wire.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model integrates a body temperature monitoring device into a silicone dental pad, enabling effective and continuous monitoring of the patient's body temperature during surgery. It avoids damage to the incisors caused by inserting a body temperature probe into the mouth and cross-infection caused by the body temperature probe. It is applicable to endotracheal intubation surgery, non-intubation general anesthesia surgery, and various surgeries using different airway tools, and has strong versatility.

[0018] 2. The temperature monitoring probe of this utility model passes through the temperature measurement channel and reaches the side of the tongue, which improves the accuracy of body temperature monitoring.

[0019] 3. This utility model inserts a temperature monitoring probe into the lingual side through a silicone dental pad and connects it to an external monitor via a body temperature connection wire, enabling continuous real-time monitoring of body temperature during surgery, improving the efficiency of anesthesiologists in monitoring body temperature, and enhancing awareness of keeping the patient warm.

[0020] 4. When the core of this utility model is designed as a hollow structure, it can be used as a suction channel to aspirate secretions during surgery, preventing problems such as inaccurate body temperature monitoring and displacement of the dental pad caused by excessive secretions.

[0021] In this invention, the above-described technical solutions can be combined with each other to achieve more preferred combinations.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0029] One specific embodiment of this utility model discloses a dental pad for continuous body temperature monitoring, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, it includes a tube body 2, a fixed base 1, a temperature measuring channel 3, and a temperature monitoring component 4. The fixed base 1 is circumferentially connected to the outer wall of the tube body 2. The temperature measuring channel 3 is built into the lower part of the tube body 2. The temperature monitoring component 4 passes through the temperature measuring channel 3 and enters the tongue side inside the mouth.

[0030] Preferably, the fixing base 1 has grooves 5 on both sides for a stable and circular fit with the tracheal tube.

[0031] The inner wall of the groove 5 is provided with silicone anti-slip contacts 6 to prevent the inner wall of the groove 5 from sliding with the tracheal tube, so that the mouthguard is fixed to the tracheal tube.

[0032] Specifically, the fixing base 1 is provided with fixing holes 101 at diagonal positions for fixing with external adhesive tape or thin rope.

[0033] Furthermore, the tube body 2 includes a core 201 and a tube wall 202, and the lower outer wall 301 of the temperature measuring channel is part of the tube wall.

[0034] In one possible design, the core 201 has a hollow structure, serving as a suction channel to absorb oral secretions generated during the procedure, preventing problems such as inaccurate temperature monitoring and displacement of the dental pad caused by excessive secretions.

[0035] Preferably, the arc length of the lower outer wall 301 of the temperature measuring channel is 1 / 15 to 1 / 12 of the pipe wall circumference.

[0036] The outer wall arc length of the temperature measurement channel is designed to be small, reducing the space occupied in the oral cavity and reducing patient discomfort during the recovery period. At the same time, its location at the bottom of the core makes it easier for the temperature monitoring channel to be close to the tongue side, allowing for more accurate measurement of the actual temperature in the oral cavity.

[0037] For example, the core is a hollow structure that serves as an aspiration channel to aspirate secretions during surgery.

[0038] Furthermore, the fixing base 1 divides the tube body 2 into an intraoral part and an extraoral part, and the outer side of the intraoral part of the tube body is wrapped with a silicone layer 7 to avoid damaging the teeth.

[0039] For example, the silicone layer 7 has threads on the outside to increase friction and prevent it from shifting or slipping due to excessive oral secretions.

[0040] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner end of the tube body 2 is a bevel, and the long side of the bevel is close to the tongue side. The length L1 of the long side of the inner part of the tube body 2 is 4-5cm, and the length of the outer part of the tube body 2 is 2cm.

[0041] Furthermore, the temperature monitoring component 4 includes a guide wire 401, a silicone fixing head 402, and a temperature monitoring probe 403. One end of the guide wire 401 is connected to the temperature monitoring probe 403, and the other end passes through the silicone fixing head 402 and is connected to an external body temperature receiving and display device.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the distance L2 between the silicone fixing head 402 and the temperature monitoring probe 403 is 8-10cm.

[0043] Specifically, the temperature monitoring probe 403 includes a heat-conducting wire and an infrared body temperature probe; the guide wire portion consists of a heat-conducting wire wrapped in a silicone outer sheath and a molded guide wire. The heat-conducting wire transmits the temperature monitored by the temperature monitoring probe to an external body temperature receiving and display device, and the molded guide wire facilitates the insertion of the temperature monitoring component through the temperature monitoring channel into the mouth. The flexible and moldable guide wire is beneficial for specifically shaping according to the curvature of the patient's oropharyngeal cavity.

[0044] Preferably, the outer dimensions of the silicone fixing head 402 match the cross-section of the temperature measuring channel 3, requiring no additional adjustment or adaptation, and the temperature monitoring component can be directly fixedly connected to the temperature measuring channel.

[0045] The external body temperature receiving and display device can directly observe real-time changes in body temperature, set an appropriate temperature range, and provide timely warnings if the temperature exceeds the range.

[0046] When using this continuous body temperature monitoring dental pad: After endotracheal intubation, insert the dental pad, aligning the groove 5 with the endotracheal tube, and position the fixing base 1 outside the lips; then, insert the temperature monitoring component into the mouth through the temperature measuring channel 3, aligning the temperature monitoring probe 403 with the tongue side inside the patient's mouth, and appropriately bend the guide wire 401 during insertion to ensure that the temperature monitoring probe 403 fits well against the glossopharynx; fix the dental pad by passing external fixing tape or a thin rope through the fixing hole 101, and transmit the temperature monitored by the temperature monitoring probe to the external body temperature receiving and display device through the heat-conducting wire for real-time body temperature monitoring.

[0047] The body temperature receiving and display device and the method of transmitting the temperature signal to the display device both adopt existing publicly available technologies, such as connecting the temperature monitoring component and the body temperature receiving and display device through a digital temperature sensor interface cable.

[0048] When the stylet is hollow, it serves as a suction channel. After intubation or during extubation in the anesthesia recovery period, oral secretions can be aspirated through the stylet 201.

[0049] In summary, this invention integrates a body temperature monitoring device into a silicone dental pad, enabling effective and continuous monitoring of the patient's body temperature during surgery. This avoids damage to the incisors caused by inserting a body temperature probe into the mouth and prevents cross-infection caused by the probe. It is applicable to endotracheal intubation surgery, non-intubation general anesthesia surgery, and various surgeries using different airway tools, demonstrating strong versatility.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
