Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an air-cutting atomizing humidification and heating device. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical practice, tracheotomy patients, because their upper respiratory tract is partially or completely bypassed, lose the ability of their nasal and oral cavities to naturally warm, humidify, and filter inhaled air. This results in dry, cold air directly entering the lower respiratory tract, easily causing complications such as airway mucosal damage, thick sputum, and lung infections. To address this issue, traditional tracheotomy humidification methods involve connecting a tracheotomy nebulizer to the tracheotomy mask to humidify the air. However, this method requires medical staff to add water regularly, making continuous nebulization difficult, and suffers from uneven atomization particles, cumbersome adjustments, and other problems. Furthermore, existing devices often fail to heat sufficiently, leading to patients inhaling cold mist and causing discomfort. Utility Model Content

The two ends of the air delivery tube 2 are connected to the outlet of the tracheotomy mask 1 and the atomizer 3, respectively. The constant temperature heater 5 is located on the outside of the infusion hose 6.

[0017] By setting up a fine-tuning infusion set 4 and connecting it to the nebulizer 3, the input rate of the humidifying liquid can be controlled by adjusting the fine-tuning infusion set 4. This avoids the discontinuity of traditional manual water addition, ensures a stable and sustained humidification process, and reduces airway mucosal irritation caused by humidity fluctuations. A constant-temperature heater 5 is installed on the outside of the infusion tubing 6 to heat the humidifying liquid. The humidifying liquid is heated to a temperature range of 34–37°C before nebulization, preventing cold mist from directly entering the airway and avoiding discomfort caused by inhaling cold air.

[0018] Preferred options are listed in the appendix. Figure 2 The constant temperature heater 5 includes a heater body 51 and a heating core 52. The heating core 52 is disposed inside the heater body 51.
