Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically to a medical visual multifunctional airway catheter. Background Technology

[0002] Airway tubes are the most commonly used devices in clinical anesthesia. There are two types: oral and nasal airway tubes, and cuffed and uncuffed tubes. Endotracheal tubes are medical devices that create a temporary artificial breathing channel for patients, especially those unable to breathe spontaneously. The procedure for endotracheal intubation includes oxygen administration, opening the airway, exposing the glottis, inserting the endotracheal tube, and securing it. The patient is generally placed in a supine position, and the airway is opened using the head-tilt / chin-lift maneuver. A laryngoscope is inserted into the mouth to expose the glottis, and the airway tube is checked for airtightness. The airway tube is then inserted into the glottis through the laryngoscope. However, once the laryngoscope is inserted into the larynx, it is difficult to make a direct and accurate determination of the location of the airway tube, increasing the uncertainty of the procedure. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a medical visualization multifunctional airway tube, which solves the problem that it is difficult to intuitively determine the location of the airway tube to be inserted after the laryngoscope is placed in the larynx, thus increasing the uncertainty of the surgery.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A medical visualization multifunctional airway catheter includes a tube body, a multi-layer flexible bladder, and a camera. One end of the tube body has a connecting tube, and the top end of the tube body has a limiting tube. An air bladder inflation tube is located inside the limiting tube. One end of the air bladder inflation tube has an inflation bladder. The surface of the tube body is covered with a multi-layer flexible bladder, and an air inlet is located inside each of the multi-layer flexible bladders. The other end of the air bladder inflation tube has a multi-layer flexible bladder. The tube body has two non-communicating channels, a first channel and a second channel. A camera is located in the second channel, and a data cable is located on the other side of the camera.

[0006] Preferably, lighting components are provided on both sides of the camera.

[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the tube is provided with scale lines.

[0008] Preferably, the data cable is connected to an external display, which is configured to display the image captured by the camera.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0010] The medical visualization multifunctional airway tube provided by this utility model is equipped with multiple flexible bladders. Air is delivered into the multiple flexible bladders through the air inflation tube and air inlet using an inflation bladder, causing it to inflate and stabilize the tube in the respiratory tract. The multiple flexible bladders can better fit the inner wall of the respiratory tract, thereby improving the stability and airtightness of the tube. At the same time, by incorporating a camera and lighting components, the camera can observe the situation inside the airway, facilitating doctors to make correct judgments and reducing uncertainties during surgery. The lighting components illuminate the camera, improving the brightness and clarity of the image, allowing doctors to observe the situation inside the airway more intuitively.

[0011] This invention improves the practicality of airway catheters by providing scale lines on the outer surface of the tube body, which allows for the measurement of the insertion depth of the tube body.

[0012] This invention uses a limiting tube to firmly fix the position of the airbag inflation tube, preventing it from shaking and falling off during surgery. Attached Figure Description

The other end of the airbag inflation tube 5 is provided with a multi-layer flexible bladder 7. The tube body 1 has two non-communicating channels, a first channel 9 and a second channel 10. The camera 11 is provided in the second channel 10, and a data cable 13 is provided on the other side of the camera 11.

[0022] Example 2:

[0023] As shown in the attached diagram of the instruction manual. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a medical visualization multifunctional airway tube is used. When the airway tube needs to be used on a patient, the patient's mouth is first opened, and the airbag inflation tube 5 and the multi-layer flexible balloon 7 are inserted into the patient's trachea through the mouth. Then, the airbag 6 is used to send air into the multi-layer flexible balloon 7 through the airbag inflation tube 5 and the air inlet 8, causing it to inflate and stabilize the tube 1 in the airway. The multi-layer flexible balloon 7 can better fit the inner wall of the airway, thereby improving the stability and airtightness of the tube 1. At the same time, a camera 11 and an illumination component 12 are provided. The camera 11 can be used to observe the situation in the airway, which helps doctors make correct judgments and reduces the uncertainty in the operation. The illumination component 12 can be used to illuminate and improve the brightness and clarity of the camera 11, allowing doctors to observe the situation in the airway more intuitively.

[0024] This utility model improves the practicality of the airway tube by setting a scale line 3 on the outer surface of the tube body, which allows for the measurement of the insertion depth of the tube body 1.

[0025] This invention uses a limiting tube 4 to firmly fix the position of the airbag inflation tube 5, thus preventing the airbag inflation tube 5 from shaking and falling off during surgery.
