Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bronchoscopy transport technology, and in particular to a bronchoscopy transport box. Background Technology
[0002] Since its invention, the fiberoptic bronchoscope has been favored by clinicians due to its advantages such as small diameter, flexible steering, bendability, and direct visualization. It is used in the treatment of respiratory diseases for endobronchial suctioning or bronchoalveolar lavage, identification of infectious bacteria, and targeted intratracheal antibiotic therapy. In recent years, fiberoptic bronchoscopy has also been widely used in the treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) with good results. Studies have confirmed that fiberoptic bronchoalveolar lavage as an adjunct therapy for severe VAP patients is superior to conventional negative pressure suctioning in improving clinical efficacy, reducing mortality, shortening hospital stay, and shortening mechanical ventilation time, and is safe and effective. However, because these critically ill patients rely on mechanical oxygen therapy and cannot be transported to the bronchoscopy room for examination and treatment, bedside bronchoscopy is urgently needed.
[0003] For some lengthy and complex surgeries such as aspiration requiring foreign body removal, stent placement, removal of airway tumors, and EBUS-TBNA ultrasound bronchoscopy, which cannot be performed directly in the bronchoscopy room, such surgeries must be performed under general anesthesia in the operating room.
[0004] Currently, there are no dedicated devices for transporting bronchoscopes in clinical practice. Many hospitals perform bedside bronchoscopy, but simply use yellow garbage bags or bulky storage boxes to transport the bronchoscopes. This significantly increases the risk of viral and bacterial contamination and bronchoscope breakage during transport. Because bronchoscope sterilization takes an average of 40 minutes to 1 hour, the waiting time is also greatly increased when multiple patients require bedside bronchoscopy or need to be taken to the operating room. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to create a professionally compatible bronchoscopy transport box that facilitates transportation, reduces the risk of viral and bacterial contamination and bronchoscopy breakage during transport, and allows for preliminary rinsing and soaking of used bronchoscopes, thus reducing the waiting time for the next patient.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A bronchoscope transport box is designed, comprising a bracket body, four casters, and a tray. The four casters are mounted on the bottom of the bracket body, and the tray is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket body. The box is characterized by...
[0008] The tray has two layers of cleaning drawers arranged vertically below it, which are used to store and fix clean bronchial tubes and bronchoscope accessories.
[0009] The two cleaning drawer layers are provided with a single storage drawer layer on the side, which is used to store gloves and tools;
[0010] The bottom of the bracket body is provided with two soaking drawer layers, which are used to soak the tube body and dirty tools.
[0011] Above the two soaking drawer layers is a single flushing drawer layer, which is used to flush the inside of the bronchus.
[0012] Preferably, two cleaning drawer layers and a single storage drawer layer are provided above the rinsing drawer layer.
[0013] Preferably, the interior of the single-layer cleaning drawer is provided with a slot for fixing the bronchus tube and bronchoscope accessories, and the left and right sides of the exterior of the two-layer cleaning drawer are mounted on the bracket body via slide rails.
[0014] Preferably, the outer left and right sides of the storage drawer layer are mounted on the bracket body via slide rails and are located on the right side of the two cleaning drawer layers.
[0015] Preferably, a circulation pump control box is provided on the right side of the inside of the flushing drawer layer, and an outlet and an inlet are provided on the left side of the circulation pump control box.

The tray 12 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket body 10. Below the tray 12 are two vertically distributed cleaning drawer layers 20 for storing and securing clean bronchial tubes and bronchoscope accessories. A single storage drawer layer 30 is located on the side of the two cleaning drawer layers 20 for storing gloves and tools. Two soaking drawer layers are located at the bottom of the bracket body 10 for soaking the bronchial tube and dirty tools. Above the two soaking drawer layers is a single rinsing drawer layer 50 for rinsing the inside of the bronchial tube.
