Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infant and toddler auxiliary medical devices, specifically to a pacifier for tracheal intubation. Background Technology

[0002] Infants and young children, such as premature infants and especially extremely premature infants who cannot breathe independently due to their immature physiological development, often require medical procedures such as endotracheal intubation. However, endotracheal intubation can cause discomfort and pain to infants and young children, affecting their emotional stability. To soothe infants and young children and / or train their sucking ability, especially premature infants, one method used is to use a pacifier after endotracheal intubation. Traditional pacifiers, due to their fixed size and shape, are basically designed for soothing infants and young children in daily life and / or training their sucking ability. When used simultaneously with endotracheal intubation, they often interfere with the normal operation of the endotracheal intubation and cannot meet the special needs of infants under endotracheal intubation, such as extremely premature infants. Therefore, there is a need for a pacifier that can adapt to the individual differences of infants and young children, especially extremely premature infants, and is suitable for use under endotracheal intubation. Chinese patent ZL2021213291551 discloses a endotracheal tube fixation device for preventing oral mucosal damage, comprising a pacifier, an absorbent sponge fixedly connected to the surface of the pacifier, openings in the surfaces of the pacifier and the absorbent sponge, a support tube fixedly connected inside the pacifier, and a strap installed in the holes on the surface of the pacifier, with a sponge pad fixedly connected to the other end of the strap; this anti-biting closed-type endotracheal tube fixation device, through the sponge pad, can support the back of the patient's head, avoiding damage to the back of the patient's head from prolonged wear of the device. While the tightness of the straps increases comfort during wear, the sponge pads can separate the sides of the patient's head from the straps, preventing discomfort caused by excessive tightness. However, the pacifier has the endotracheal tube clamp on the nipple itself, requiring the endotracheal tube to be wrapped around the center of the nipple during use. This compromises the nipple's integrity and prevents it from providing a complete nipple that mimics a mother's nipple. A nipple with the endotracheal tube running through it does not resemble a real mother's nipple for infants, thus significantly reducing its ability to soothe infants and / or develop their sucking skills, especially in premature infants. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the technical problem that current pacifiers for endotracheal intubation cannot provide a complete nipple that simulates a mother's real nipple, thus significantly reducing their ability to soothe infants' emotions and / or develop their sucking ability, especially premature infants, this invention provides a pacifier for endotracheal intubation that, through a simple and ingenious structural design, retains a complete nipple that simulates a mother's real nipple while being able to be used in conjunction with endotracheal intubation without interfering with each other.

[0004] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following specific technical solution is designed:

[0005] A pacifier for endotracheal intubation includes a flat base with a human-shaped nipple in the central region; the edge of the flat base has a receiving portion for receiving the endotracheal tube.

[0006] When using this pacifier for endotracheal intubation, the infant can first undergo endotracheal intubation and fix the endotracheal tube to the left or right side of the infant's mouth. When the pacifier is needed, the endotracheal tube is placed into the receiving part of the pacifier, and then the pacifier is slid along the endotracheal tube to a suitable position and placed into the infant's mouth. This process does not require moving the endotracheal tube and will not interfere with its normal use. When the pacifier is not needed, it can be gently removed from the infant's mouth, slid along the endotracheal tube to a suitable position, and then the endotracheal tube is removed from the receiving part of the pacifier. This process also does not require moving the endotracheal tube and will not interfere with its normal use. This utility model of a pacifier for endotracheal intubation places the receiving part for accommodating the endotracheal tube at the edge of the flat base, maintaining a certain distance from the anthropomorphic nipple located in the central area of ​​the flat base. It retains the complete nipple that simulates a mother's real nipple, and can be used in conjunction with the endotracheal tube. It is convenient and quick to operate, and the pacifier does not interfere with the endotracheal tube during use.

[0007] To achieve better technical results, the following optimizations were made:

[0008] The receiving part can be configured as a C-shaped slot, an adjustable-size ring lasso, or an adjustable-size ring buckle, etc., which are easy to insert and remove, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0009] Two receiving portions are provided, positioned opposite each other at the edge of the flat base. These two receiving portions, positioned opposite each other at the edge of the flat base, can be located on the left and right sides of the infant's mouth during use, facilitating the fixation of the endotracheal tube to the left or right side of the infant's mouth as needed. This facilitates operation and significantly reduces the impact of pacifier use on the endotracheal tube. The two receiving portions can be configured in two different sizes, for example, a small receiving portion for a small-sized endotracheal tube and a large receiving portion for a large-sized endotracheal tube. The small-sized endotracheal tube is generally a endotracheal tube with a diameter of 1.5mm, 2.0mm, or 2.5mm. The large-sized endotracheal tube is generally a endotracheal tube with a diameter of 3.0mm or 3.5mm.

[0010] The receiving part is preferably integrally formed with the anthropomorphic nipple and the flat base.

[0011] The flat base is also provided with a grip for easy handling of the pacifier. The grip can be designed as a flat sheet perpendicular to the flat base to save space.

[0012] The flat base has at least two small ventilation holes in the area away from the receiving part to reduce the risk of the pacifier being inhaled into the posterior nasal region due to low air pressure caused by breathing.

[0013] The pacifier for endotracheal intubation is made of environmentally friendly, safe, and soft materials, such as food-grade flexible materials, preferably food-grade silicone.

[0014] Advantages of this utility model:

[0015] This utility model of a pacifier for endotracheal intubation places the receiving part for endotracheal intubation at the edge of a flat base, maintaining a certain distance from the anthropomorphic nipple located in the center of the flat base.
