[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an adjustable endotracheal intubation dental pad. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society, people's medical level has also made significant progress. In the process of clinical treatment, endotracheal intubation is often used for invasive mechanical ventilation according to the patient's condition. It is an effective means of treating moderate to severe respiratory failure and ARDS in clinical practice. The bite block is used in conjunction with the endotracheal tube to fix the endotracheal tube, prevent the patient from biting the tube, and protect the patient's teeth and oral tissues.
[0003] In current technology, patients with respiratory failure often have severe lung disease, and mechanical ventilation is an important treatment method for these patients. However, the use of mechanical ventilation presents several problems due to the fixed length of existing bite plates: 1. Poor adaptability: The difference in oral depth between children and adults leads to the tube being inserted too deeply or too superficially. 2. Compression damage: Too long bite plates can compress the pharynx, while too short ones cannot effectively prevent biting, both potentially causing tissue damage. 3. Inconvenient operation: Multiple sizes are required, increasing clinical preparation time and costs. Utility Model Content
