Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of clinical medicine, specifically an abdominal drainage tube that can monitor pressure at multiple points within the abdominal cavity. Background Technology

[0002] Some patients undergoing abdominal surgery may experience increased intra-abdominal pressure post-surgery due to various reasons. In severe cases, this can lead to abdominal compartment syndrome, requiring emergency treatment or even repeat surgical decompression. Monitoring intra-abdominal pressure is therefore crucial. Currently, intra-bladder pressure is often monitored clinically to reflect intra-abdominal pressure. This involves injecting a certain amount of normal saline into the bladder through a catheter and measuring the bladder pressure as a substitute for intra-abdominal pressure. However, this method has drawbacks such as inaccurate measurements and high labor costs. Furthermore, intra-abdominal pressure is not entirely uniform; for example, the pressure within the omentum, enclosed cavities, and free abdominal cavities differs. Abdominal drainage tubes, as commonly used drainage devices, are primarily used to remove fluid accumulated in the patient's abdominal cavity for subsequent examination. Most abdominal surgeries involve the placement of abdominal drainage tubes. Using these tubes to measure intra-abdominal pressure allows for non-invasive, real-time, and continuous monitoring, enabling earlier identification and intervention of intra-abdominal hypertension.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN202123412090.X discloses a drainage tube capable of monitoring abdominal pressure, comprising a main tube, a main control housing at one end of the main tube containing a controller, and a detection end at the other end of the main tube containing at least one pressure sensor. A first channel and a second channel are arranged in parallel within the main tube. The first channel penetrates the main tube and contains a data transmission line, one end of which extends into the detection end. The pressure sensor is connected to the controller via the data transmission line. A drainage tube is slidably installed within the second channel, and an insertion channel is also provided in the middle of the main tube. This drainage tube capable of monitoring abdominal pressure can monitor abdominal pressure and drain fluid from the abdominal cavity when the pressure is too high.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the pressure sensor at the detection end of the drainage tube that can monitor abdominal pressure is fixed, which has certain limitations in terms of flexibility and adaptability. This can lead to measurement errors and inaccurate detection results, affecting its application in complex clinical environments and failing to meet diverse clinical needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an abdominal drainage tube that can monitor pressure at multiple points within the abdominal cavity, aiming to solve the problem that traditional drainage tubes that can monitor abdominal pressure have certain limitations in terms of flexibility and adaptability, and cannot meet diverse clinical needs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An abdominal drainage tube capable of monitoring pressure at multiple locations within the abdominal cavity includes a drainage tube, a fixed base at the head end of the drainage tube, a plurality of pressure sensors mounted on the fixed base, a plurality of movable seats on the drainage tube, a plurality of pressure sensors mounted on the movable seats, a fixing member between the drainage tube and the movable seats for moving and temporarily fixing the movable seats on the drainage tube, and a data transmission line connected to the pressure sensors for connection to external instruments.

[0008] In one alternative: the fixing element is a silicone sleeve, the inner diameter of which is smaller than the outer diameter of the drainage tube.

[0009] In one alternative: several C-type clips for fixing the data transmission line are provided on the movable seat and the drainage tube body.

[0010] In one alternative: both ends of the C-type card along the length of the drainage tube are shaped like water droplets.

[0011] In one alternative: the pressure sensor is detachably mounted on the fixed base and the movable base.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment: both the fixed base and the movable base are provided with slots, and the pressure sensor is inserted into the fixed base and the movable base through the slots.

[0013] In one alternative: an elastic retaining strip is provided at the opening of the card slot.

[0014] In one alternative: a sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the card slot and the pressure sensor.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0016] This invention features a series of movable seats that allow for flexible adjustment of the drainage tube's position, with temporary fixation by fasteners. This allows it to adapt to different patients' abdominal structures and monitoring needs, providing medical staff with more accurate and comprehensive intra-abdominal pressure data, thus improving patient treatment outcomes and safety. It effectively solves the limitations of traditional intra-abdominal pressure monitoring drainage tubes in terms of flexibility and adaptability, failing to meet diverse clinical needs.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the drawings and description, similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals, and in practical applications, the shape, thickness, or height of each component may be enlarged or reduced. The embodiments listed in this utility model are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any obvious modifications or changes made to this utility model do not depart from its spirit and scope. Example

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides an abdominal drainage tube that can monitor pressure at multiple locations within the abdominal cavity. It includes a drainage tube 1, a fixed base 2 at the head end of the drainage tube 1, a plurality of pressure sensors 4 on the fixed base 2, a plurality of movable seats 3 on the drainage tube 1, a plurality of pressure sensors 4 on the movable seats 3, a fixing member 11 between the drainage tube 1 and the movable seats 3 for moving and temporarily fixing the movable seats 3 on the drainage tube 1, and a data transmission line 5 for connecting the pressure sensors 4 to external instruments.

[0025] First, medical staff fix the fixation seat 2 at the tip of the drainage tube 1 in an appropriate position within the abdominal cavity using suitable methods (such as surgical sutures or bio-adhesive bonding). This ensures good contact between the pressure sensor 4 on the fixation seat 2 and the abdominal wall or viscera, enabling accurate sensing of intra-abdominal pressure. Simultaneously, since intra-abdominal pressure varies from patient to patient (e.g., pressure in the omental sac, enclosed cavities, and free abdominal cavities differs), medical staff can flexibly adjust the position of the movable seat 3 on the drainage tube 1 according to the patient's abdominal structure and monitoring needs. This seat is then temporarily fixed using the fixation piece 11. This provides medical staff with more accurate and comprehensive intra-abdominal pressure data, contributing to improved treatment outcomes and safety for patients. This effectively solves the problem of limitations in flexibility and adaptability inherent in traditional drainage tubes 1 that can monitor intra-abdominal pressure, failing to meet diverse clinical needs.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing member 11 is a silicone sleeve, the inner diameter of which is smaller than the outer diameter of the drainage tube 1. As a fixing member 11, the silicone sleeve can fit tightly on the drainage tube 1, providing stable support and fixation; at the same time, the softness and elasticity of the silicone sleeve allow the movable seat 3 to move easily on the drainage tube 1 and can be temporarily fixed in different positions.

[0027] And such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, several C-shaped clips 111 are provided on the movable seat 3 and the drainage tube 1 to fix the data transmission line 5. This design can prevent the data transmission line 5 from moving or falling off during the operation of medical staff, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of data transmission.

[0028] And as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the C-type card 111 along the length of the drainage tube 1 are teardrop-shaped streamlined. The teardrop-shaped streamlined design can effectively reduce the friction between the drainage tube 1 or other medical devices and tissues when they move in the body. This helps to reduce damage to surrounding tissues, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, and improve patient comfort. In addition, the streamlined design makes it easier to insert or withdraw the drainage tube 1 into the body cavity and reduce resistance during operation. This is especially important for medical operations that require precise positioning and frequent adjustments, which can improve surgical efficiency and reduce operation time. Example

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0030] The pressure sensor 4 can be detachably installed on the fixed base 2 and the movable base 3. The pressure sensor 4 is a patch or thin film pressure sensor. The design of the pressure sensor 4 to be detachably installed on the fixed base 2 and the movable base 3 brings great convenience and flexibility to the abdominal drainage tube 1 that can monitor intra-abdominal pressure. This design not only improves the monitoring accuracy and service life of the drainage tube 1, but also reduces medical costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, both the fixed base 2 and the movable base 3 are provided with slots 6, through which the pressure sensor 4 is inserted into the fixed base 2 and the movable base 3. Both the fixed base 2 and the movable base 3 are provided with slots 6 specifically for inserting the pressure sensor 4. The slots 6 are designed with a contour that matches the shape and size of the pressure sensor 4 to ensure that the sensor can be stably inserted and fixed in the slots 6. This design not only simplifies the installation and removal process of the sensor and reduces the maintenance cost of the drainage tube 1, but also improves the stability and accuracy of the monitoring system.

[0032] At the same time, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, an elastic retaining strip 7 is provided at the opening of the slot 6. The elastic retaining strip 7 can ensure that the pressure sensor 4 is securely installed in the slot 6, preventing it from falling off or shifting due to external force or impact from intra-abdominal fluid during operation. This secure installation method helps to ensure the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data. At the same time, the elastic retaining strip 7 has a certain degree of elasticity and adjustability, which can adapt to pressure sensors 4 of different sizes or shapes. This means that the drainage tube 1 can be compatible with a variety of types of sensors, thereby improving the flexibility and versatility of the equipment.

[0033] In addition, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, a sealing gasket 8 is provided at the connection between the card slot 6 and the pressure sensor 4. The material of the sealing gasket 8 is usually selected to have good elasticity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, such as silicone, rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene. It can not only prevent leakage and maintain a sterile environment, but also further enhance the connection stability between the pressure sensor 4 and the fixed seat 2 and the movable seat 3.

[0034] The specific working effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0035] First, medical staff fix the fixation seat 2 at the tip of the drainage tube 1 in an appropriate position within the abdominal cavity using suitable methods (such as surgical sutures or bio-adhesive bonding). This ensures good contact between the pressure sensor 4 on the fixation seat 2 and the abdominal wall or viscera, enabling accurate sensing of intra-abdominal pressure. Simultaneously, since intra-abdominal pressure varies from patient to patient (e.g., pressure in the omental sac, enclosed cavities, and free abdominal cavities differs), medical staff can flexibly adjust the position of the movable seat 3 on the drainage tube 1 according to the patient's abdominal structure and monitoring needs. This seat is then temporarily fixed using the fixation piece 11. This provides medical staff with more accurate and comprehensive intra-abdominal pressure data, contributing to improved treatment outcomes and safety for patients. This effectively solves the problem of limitations in flexibility and adaptability inherent in traditional drainage tubes 1 that can monitor intra-abdominal pressure, failing to meet diverse clinical needs.
