Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0020] Example: A blind-insertion three-lumen nasogastric tube, configured as follows Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a claw-shaped connector 1, which is made of plastic. The upper front end of the claw-shaped connector 1 has a main intestine port 2; the upper side end of the claw-shaped connector 1 has a lateral intestine port 3 and a stomach port 4; the lower part of the claw-shaped connector 1 has a tube port 5, which is connected to a thick tube 6. The thick tube 6 is a transparent plastic flexible tube, 90cm in length and 6mm in diameter. Figure 2As shown, the thick tube 6 has a first cavity 61, a second cavity 62, and a third cavity 63 inside, which are not interconnected. The first cavity 61 is located inside the thick tube 6 near the main intestinal port 2 and is connected to the main intestinal port 2. The second cavity 62 is located inside the thick tube 6 near the lateral intestinal port 3 and is connected to the lateral intestinal port 3. The third cavity 63 is located between the first cavity 61 and the second cavity 62 and is connected to the gastric port 4. The other end of the second cavity 62 is connected to a thin tube 7, which is a transparent plastic tube with a total length of 30cm and a diameter of 3mm. The side of the thick tube 6 has multiple first side holes 8 that are connected to the third cavity 63. The first side holes 8 are used to connect to the gastric port 4. When the nutrient solution is injected, it leaks out through the first side hole after passing through the third cavity 63, thus entering the patient's stomach. The end of the third cavity 63 is closed and not connected to the outside. The upper side of the thin tube 7 has three elliptical second side holes 9. When the nutrient solution is injected into the lateral intestinal port 3, it flows through the second cavity 62 and into the thin tube 7, leaking out through the second side holes 9 into the patient's intestine. When it is necessary to aspirate the fluid in the intestine, the lateral intestinal port 3 is connected to an external suction device, so that the fluid is sucked in through the second side holes 9 and flows through the thin tube 7 and the second cavity 62 to the lateral intestinal port 3. The end of the thin tube 7 is closed and not connected to the outside, with a long diameter of 3 mm and a short diameter of 2.5 mm. The other end of the first cavity 61 is connected to the outside.
[0021] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end of the thin tube 7 is a solid tube 71, which is 5 cm long. Multiple steel balls 72, each with a diameter of 2.5 mm, are inserted into the solid tube 71 starting 3 mm from its tip. By replacing the end of the thin tube 7 with a solid tube 71 and adding steel balls 72 inside, the rigidity of the solid tube 71 is increased, making it easier to insert the thin tube 7 into the patient's intestine.
[0022] Preferably, such as Figure 1As shown, the main intestinal port 2 and the lateral intestinal port 3 are provided with a second conversion mechanism 11 on their sides, and the stomach port 4 is provided with an interface conversion mechanism 10. The interface conversion mechanism 10 includes a first connecting rope 13 provided on the side of the corresponding port, the other end of the first connecting rope 13 is provided with a large cover plate 14, the large cover plate 14 is provided with a large plug 15, the large plug 15 cooperates with the corresponding port; the large plug 15 is provided with a through hole 16; the side of the large cover plate 14 is provided with a second connecting rope 17, the other end of the second connecting rope 17 is provided with a small cover plate 18, the small cover plate 18 is provided with a small plug 19, the small plug 19 cooperates with the through hole 16. The first conversion mechanism 10, the second conversion mechanism 11, and the third conversion mechanism 12 enable the main intestinal port 2, the lateral intestinal port 3, and the gastric port 4 to be compatible with various sizes of external devices. When the external device interface is small, the large plug 15 is inserted into the corresponding port and then connected to the external device through the through hole 16. When the small plug 19 is inserted into the through hole 16 and the large plug 15 is inserted into the corresponding port, it can prevent external bacteria and dust from entering when the port is not in use. The large cover plate 14 facilitates the separation of the large plug 15 from the corresponding port, and the small cover plate 18 facilitates the separation of the small plug 19 from the through hole 16.
[0023] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, a guide wire interface 20 is connected to the main intestinal port 2, and a guide wire 21 is connected inside the guide wire interface 20. The guide wire 21 passes through the first cavity 61 and exits from the end of the first cavity 61 to the patient's stomach. This can be used to better observe the patient's gastrointestinal condition and at the same time help patients who cannot swallow to ingest water and food.
[0024] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the end of the thick tube 6 is provided with an inner slope portion 22; the end of the thin tube 7 is provided with a beveled portion 23, which cooperates with the inner slope portion 22. By connecting the beveled portion 23 and the inner slope portion 22, the diameter of the thin tube 7 and the diameter of the second cavity 62 can be matched and connected.
[0025] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner side of the end of the thick tube 6 is provided with an annular groove 24; the outer side of the end of the thin tube 7 is provided with a convex ring 25, which cooperates with the annular groove 24. Through the cooperation of the convex ring 25 and the annular groove 24, the thin tube 7 is not easily detached from the thick tube 6.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] Insert the oblique cut 23 of the thin tube 7 into the inner slope 22 of the thick tube 6, and engage the convex ring 25 in the annular groove 24 to connect the thin tube 7 and the thick tube 6. Then, insert the thin tube 7 into the stomach through the patient's mouth or nose. Due to the small diameter of the thin tube 7, it can be inserted into the patient's intestines blindly, while the thick tube 6 remains in the patient's stomach. When nutritional supply to the patient's intestines is needed, inject the nutrient solution through the lateral intestinal port 3. The nutrient solution flows through the second lumen 62 and then out through the second side hole 9 of the thin tube 7 into the patient's intestines. When nutritional supply to the patient's stomach is needed, inject the nutrient solution through the gastric port 4. The nutrient solution flows through the third lumen 63 and then out through the first side hole 8 into the patient's stomach. Alternatively, by connecting a suction device to the gastric port 4 or the lateral intestinal port 3, waste can be suctioned from the patient's stomach and intestines. Insert the guidewire interface 20 into the main intestinal port 2 and insert the guidewire 21 into the first lumen 61 for operation.
