[0002] Nasogastric feeding involves manually inserting a feeding tube through the nasal cavity into the esophagus under special circumstances. The food is first ground into a paste using a grinder, and a large syringe is connected to the large feeding port below the feeding tube connector. After a secure connection, the piston is manually pressurized to inject water and food into the patient's stomach, helping patients who cannot swallow independently to maintain metabolism, weight, and nutrition. Gastrointestinal decompression is a commonly used surgical nursing technique. Its purpose is to drain gastric fluid and gas, reduce abdominal distension, and alleviate tension on chest and abdominal wounds. Nasogastric feeding tubes are used for decompression, water injection, or feeding. When injecting water or food, the tube must be disconnected from the gastrointestinal decompression device, which is inconvenient for clinical nurses and increases the risk of infection due to repeated disconnection. Existing feeding tubes with excessively long exposed lengths are prone to traction, and the excessively long portion requires secondary fixation to the patient's face, increasing discomfort.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] This specific embodiment is a handrail, the structural diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-8 As shown.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] A nasogastric tube with a T-shaped interface includes: a gastric tube 1, a drainage tube 2, a T-shaped tube 5, a sealing cap 9, an esophagus 15, a connector 16, a sealing cap 17, and an anti-dislodgement component; the gastric tube 1, the drainage tube 2, and the esophagus 15 are arranged on the outside of the T-shaped tube 5, the connector 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the esophagus 15, the sealing cap 17 is arranged on the outside of the connector 16, and two sealing caps 9 are arranged on the outside of the T-shaped tube 5. The anti-dislodgement component includes: a fixing cap 3, two T-shaped shells 11, a threaded groove 12, and a fixing seat 13; the fixing seat 13 is installed on the outer surface of the T-shaped tube 5, and two T-shaped shells 11 are rotatably installed on the outer surface of the fixing seat 13. The top of each of the two T-shaped shells 11 is provided with a threaded groove 12, and the fixing cap 3 is arranged on the top of the T-shaped shell 11.

[0018] The T-shaped tube 5 has oblique grooves 8 on the outer surfaces of all three ends, and all three ends of the T-shaped tube 5 are tapered. The oblique grooves 8 reduce the diameter of the installation end of the T-shaped tube 5, making it easier to insert the T-shaped tube 5 into the gastric tube 1. The outer surface of the T-shaped tube 5 has fixing grooves 6, and positioning strips 7 are fixedly connected inside the two T-shaped shells 11 to increase the friction when the T-shaped shells 11 press against the gastric tube 1, drainage tube 2, and esophagus 15, thereby increasing the stability of the installation of the gastric tube 1, drainage tube 2, and esophagus 15. The fixing cover 3... The outer surface is provided with anti-slip texture 4 to increase the anti-slip performance of the fixed cover 3 and prevent medical staff from slipping when rotating the fixed cover 3. The outer surface of the T-shaped shell 11 is fixedly connected with a traction strap 10, which is fixedly connected to the sealing cap 9. The traction strap 10 fixes the sealing cap 9 to prevent it from being lost when it is removed. The sealing cap 9 is provided with a rubber plug 14 inside. When the sealing cap 9 is put on the outside of the T-shaped tube 5, the rubber plug 14 is inserted inside the T-shaped tube 5 to increase the firmness and sealing of the sealing cap 9.

[0019] When using the nasogastric tube of this technical solution, medical staff trim the external leakage portion of the gastric tube 1 to control its length, allowing the T-shaped tube 5 to be installed inside. Then, the drainage tube 2 and esophagus 15 are respectively installed at the other two ends of the T-shaped tube 5. The drainage tube 2 is connected to the gastrointestinal decompression device. When administering water or food, the drainage tube 2 is clamped, the sealing cap 17 is opened, and a syringe is connected to the connector 16 to inject liquid food into the patient's stomach through the esophagus 15, T-shaped tube 5, and gastric tube 1. When using the gastric tube 1, the gastrointestinal decompression device and the water or food injection devices are separate, eliminating the need to repeatedly disconnect the connection to the gastric tube 1 when administering water or food through the nasogastric tube. To increase the risk of infection and ensure the safety of using the gastric tube 1, when connecting and installing the gastric tube 1, drainage tube 2, and esophagus 15 to the T-tube 5, the fixing cap 3 is placed over the outside of the gastric tube 1, and the two T-shaped shells 11 are closed and placed over the outside of the T-tube 5. The T-shaped shells 11 are pressed onto the gastric tube 1, drainage tube 2, and esophagus 15 installed on the outer surface of the T-tube 5 for fixation. Then, the anti-slip groove 4 is lowered by the threaded groove 12 and screwed onto the T-shaped shell 11 for installation and fixation, thereby reinforcing the gastric tube 1, drainage tube 2, and esophagus 15 and preventing them from separating from the T-tube 5 during use, thus ensuring the safety of their use.

[0020] Example 2

[0021] The difference from Embodiment 2 is that a connecting tube 18 is installed through the bottom end of the gastric tube 1, and the connecting tube 18 is T-shaped.

[0022] When using the nasogastric tube of this technical solution, the gastric tube 1 and the connecting tube 18 are manufactured as a single unit. The two ends of the connecting tube 18 are connected to the intestinal decompression device and the water or food injection tube, respectively. When using the gastric tube 1, the intestinal decompression device and the water or food injection tube are set separately. When using the nasogastric tube for water or food injection, there is no need to repeatedly disconnect the connection from the gastric tube 1, which would increase the chance of infection and ensure the safety of the use of the gastric tube 1. Moreover, the integrated manufacturing of the gastric tube 1 and the connecting tube 18 reduces the cost and saves treatment expenses. The gastric tube 1 and the connecting tube 18 are set in a T-shape, with the connecting tube 18 exposed on the outside, which makes it easier for medical staff to use tape to wrap and fix it, increasing the firmness of the gastric tube 1, preventing the gastric tube 1 from sliding, and ensuring its safety of use.

[0023] This invention relates to a nasogastric tube with a T-shaped interface. Medical personnel trim the external leakage portion of the gastric tube 1 to control its length, allowing the T-shaped tube 5 to be installed inside. A drainage tube 2 and an esophagus 15 are then installed at the other two ends of the T-shaped tube 5. The drainage tube 2 is connected to a gastrointestinal decompression device. When administering water or food, the drainage tube 2 is clamped, the sealing cap 17 is opened, and a syringe is connected to the connector 16 to inject liquid food into the patient's stomach via the esophagus 15, the T-shaped tube 5, and the gastric tube 1. The gastrointestinal decompression device and the water / food injection devices are separate during use, eliminating the need to repeatedly disconnect the tube when administering water or food. 1. To increase the risk of infection and ensure the safety of using the gastric tube 1, when connecting and installing the gastric tube 1, drainage tube 2, and esophagus 15 to the T-tube 5, the fixing cap 3 is placed over the outside of the gastric tube 1, and the two T-shaped shells 11 are closed and placed over the outside of the T-tube 5. The T-shaped shells 11 are pressed onto the gastric tube 1, drainage tube 2, and esophagus 15 installed on the outer surface of the T-tube 5 for fixation. Then, the anti-slip groove 4 is screwed onto the T-shaped shell 11 for installation and fixation under the action of the threaded groove 12, thereby reinforcing the gastric tube 1, drainage tube 2, and esophagus 15 and preventing them from separating from the T-tube 5 during use, thus ensuring the safety of their use.

[0024] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0025] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
