Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a tracheostomy cannula for preventing leakage of secretions. Background Technology

[0002] A tracheostomy cannula is a medical device inserted into a patient's trachea through a tracheostomy incision in the neck during a tracheostomy. The purpose of inserting a tracheostomy cannula after a tracheostomy is to maintain an open airway, allow for mechanical ventilation, and promptly clear secretions from the airway.

[0003] A "tracheostomy cannula" with publication number CN217612374U is disclosed on the Chinese Patent Network. By setting a grid on the cannula body or the drum on the cannula body, when negative pressure is used to suction aspirated material, soft tissue will not block the channel on the grid, avoiding the failure of suctioning aspirated material due to blockage, thereby achieving the effect of smooth suction of aspirated material and improving the effect of clearing aspirated material.

[0004] In some cases, due to the large size of the surgical wound, it is unavoidable for secretions to leak from the gap between the tracheostomy cannula and the wound. The current solution is to place tracheostomy gauze under the tracheostomy site, which needs to be changed at least twice a day. For patients with a lot of secretions, the frequency of changes needs to be increased. At this time, the main function of the gauze is to block direct contact between the skin and secretions, so as to prevent skin and mucous membrane damage caused by a prolonged moist environment, and it also provides some skin protection. However, this method has certain problems. Frequent gauze changes not only aggravate the patient's discomfort, but also increase the workload of nursing care. If the gauze is not changed in time due to busy nursing work, the skin at the tracheostomy site may remain in a moist environment for a long time, leading to problems such as skin and mucous membrane damage. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One or more embodiments provide a tracheostomy cannula for preventing secretion leakage, including a cannula 100 and a through tube 200. A threaded tapered sleeve 201 is provided at the top of the through tube 200, and a threaded ring 202 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded tapered sleeve 201. The inner walls of both the threaded tapered sleeve 201 and the through tube 200 abut against the surface of the cannula 100. A fixing plate 203 is provided on the surface of the through tube 200, and an airbag 204 is provided on the surface of the through tube 200 and at the bottom of the fixing plate 203. An internal component is provided inside the fixing plate 203. The air intake pipe 205 is connected at one end to the interior of the airbag 204. A plug 400 is detachably connected inside the air intake pipe 205. A perforation 206 is provided inside the fixing plate 203. The fixing strap 300 is also included. One end of the fixing strap 300 is located on one side of the fixing plate 203. The other end of the fixing strap 300 can pass through the perforation 206 and be detachably connected to the surface of the fixing strap 300. The other end of the fixing strap 300 is detachably connected to the surface of the fixing strap 300 by Velcro, buckle or snap fastener.

[0031] In this embodiment, the protruding part of the airbag 204 is inserted into the incision site beforehand, and part of the airbag 204 will come into contact with the patient's skin. Then, the fixing plate 203 is fixed to a suitable position on the patient's neck by the fixing strap 300. At this time, the cannula 100 is inserted into the patient's body through the tube 200. By rotating the threaded ring 202, the threaded cone sleeve 201 is squeezed to fix the cannula 100. Then, gas is injected into the airbag 204 through the air inlet tube 205. The airbag 204 expands and seals the incision site, effectively preventing secretions from flowing out and reducing the difficulty of nursing care.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the sleeve 100 has a connecting hole 101 and a liquid storage cavity 102 inside. The surface of the sleeve 100 is provided with a liquid inlet shell 103. The inner cavity of the liquid inlet shell 103, the connecting hole 101 and the liquid storage cavity 102 are connected in sequence. A baffle 104 is hinged to the inner wall of the liquid storage cavity 102. A limiting plate 105 is provided at the bottom of the baffle 104. The other end of the limiting plate 105 can abut against the inner wall of the liquid storage cavity 102. A liquid extraction channel 106 is provided inside the sleeve 100. The liquid extraction channel 106 is connected to the liquid storage cavity 102. A plug 400 is detachably connected to the other end of the liquid extraction channel 106. A soft pad 107 is provided on the surface of the liquid inlet shell 103.

[0033] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 105 will abut against the inner wall of the liquid storage cavity 102 due to gravity. At this time, there is a gap between the baffle 104 and the liquid storage cavity 102, which allows the secretions to enter. During the outflow process, the secretions will enter the liquid storage cavity 102 through the connecting hole 101 along the liquid inlet shell 103, thereby storing the secretions. As the secretions accumulate, the baffle 104 deflects at an angle under the action of buoyancy until the baffle 104 abuts against the inner wall of the liquid storage cavity 102, thereby blocking the outflow of secretions in the liquid storage cavity 102. The soft pad 107 is mainly set to reduce the impact of the liquid inlet shell 103 on the patient. A negative pressure aspirator can be used. The negative pressure pipe of the negative pressure aspirator enters the liquid storage cavity 102 through the suction pipe and is placed below the baffle 104, thereby drawing out the secretions stored in the liquid storage cavity 102 to the outside under the action of negative pressure.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the liquid inlet shell 103 is semi-circular and the edge of the liquid inlet shell 103 is inclined. The baffle 104 is inclined and the fixing plate 203 is arc-shaped. Multiple liquid inlet shells 103 are arranged at equal intervals along the central axis of the sleeve 100. The number of liquid inlet shells 103 is multiple. The number of connecting holes 101, soft pads 107, baffles 104 and limiting plates 105 are all matched with the number of liquid inlet shells 103.

[0035] In this embodiment, the inclined edge facilitates the entry of secretions; the inclined baffle 104 facilitates the gap between the baffle 104 and the inner wall of the reservoir 102 under the action of gravity, thereby ensuring the inflow of secretions; the arc shape of the fixing plate 203 can fit the curvature of the patient's neck, thereby improving the tightness between the airbag 204 and the neck position when it is inflated, and further preventing the outflow of secretions.

[0036] Specifically, the working principle of the tracheostomy cannula for preventing secretion leakage provided in this application is as follows:

[0037] The protruding part of the airbag 204 is inserted into the incision site beforehand, and part of the airbag 204 will come into contact with the patient's skin. Then, the fixation plate 203 is fixed in a suitable position on the patient's neck by the fixation strap 300. At this time, the cannula 100 is inserted into the patient's body through the tube 200. By rotating the threaded ring 202, the threaded cone sleeve 201 is squeezed against the cannula 100 to fix the cannula 100. Then, gas is injected into the airbag 204 through the air inlet tube 205. The airbag 204 inflates and seals the incision site, effectively preventing the discharge of secretions and reducing the difficulty of nursing care.

[0038] Due to gravity, the limiting plate 105 will abut against the inner wall of the liquid storage cavity 102. At this time, there is a gap between the baffle 104 and the liquid storage cavity 102, which allows the secretions to enter. During the outflow process, the secretions will enter the liquid storage cavity 102 through the connecting hole 101 along the liquid inlet shell 103, thereby storing the secretions. As the secretions accumulate, the baffle 104 deflects at an angle under the action of buoyancy until the baffle 104 abuts against the inner wall of the liquid storage cavity 102, thereby blocking the outflow of secretions from the liquid storage cavity 102.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
