Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to an adjustable endotracheal tube fixation device. Background Technology

[0002] Endotracheal intubation is a method of inserting a specially designed endotracheal tube through the mouth into the trachea or bronchus. This method aims to establish and maintain airway patency, ensure effective ventilation and oxygenation, and provide an ideal channel for airway suction. It is a core intervention for rescuing patients with respiratory dysfunction. However, successfully inserting the endotracheal tube is only the first step. Ensuring the tube remains stable throughout its use, preventing displacement, dislodgement from the fixation device, and accidental extubation, is crucial. This can take anywhere from hours to weeks. Effective fixation is essential to ensure the stability of the tube's placement and depth. However, bite blocks are inconvenient to replace during intubation, existing fixation devices are not compatible with tubes of different diameters, and the tube cannot be precisely moved after fixation, making it inconvenient to use.

[0003] A patent with publication number CN118807056A discloses a endotracheal tube fixing device, including a fixing strip. The top and bottom of the fixing strip are provided with limiting grooves. A sliding shell is slidably sleeved on the outside of the fixing strip. Arc-shaped limiting posts that are inserted into the limiting grooves are fixedly connected to the inner top and inner bottom walls of the sliding shell. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding shell. A sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting block. A tube clamping groove is provided at the bottom of the sleeve. An endotracheal tube body is sleeved in the tube clamping groove. Two rotating shafts are symmetrically rotatably connected in the sliding shell. A pinching block is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of each of the two rotating shafts. A positioning tooth is fixedly connected to the end of the pinching block.

[0004] The intubation fixation device disclosed in the above patent cannot be adapted to intubation tubes of different diameters; the bite block cannot be replaced separately, making it inconvenient to use; and replacing the entire fixation device increases medical costs. Therefore, how to provide an adjustable endotracheal intubation fixation device is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model is equipped with an intubation fixation mechanism, which can fix various types of endotracheal tubes, improve its wide clinical applicability and popularity, reduce medical costs, and optimize resource utilization. In addition, a bite pad can be detachably connected to the intubation fixation mechanism, making it more convenient to replace the bite pad.

[0016] 2. The intubation tube fixing mechanism of this utility model can clamp and fix the intubation tube while sliding bidirectionally along the slide groove, which makes it easy for medical staff to freely and accurately adjust the position of the endotracheal tube and optimize the patient's airway comfort.

[0017] 3. The dental pad can be disassembled and installed without affecting the use of the intubation tube using a snap-fit ​​assembly and U-shaped hole.

[0041] Working principle: The first Velcro 7 and the second Velcro 9 are used to fix the entire intubation fixation device to the patient. The dental pad 11 is installed on the U-shaped hole of the fixation plate 2.1. The two sides are pressed by the locking blocks 14 so that the locking blocks 14 are locked into the mounting holes 11.1 of the dental pad 11. The rotating head rotates the threaded column 12 to drive the movable squeezing block 13 to move and cooperate with the fixed squeezing block 16 to fix the intubation tubes of different diameters. The two sides are pinched by the clamping blocks 18 to reduce the clamping degree of the entire intubation fixation mechanism 2 on the first slot on the base plate 1. Then, the entire intubation fixation mechanism 2 is moved by the sliding groove to realize the movement of the intubation fixation device.

[0042] When replacing the dental pad 11, remove the cannula from the strip-shaped through hole on the side of the dental pad 11, press the clip 14 to remove the dental pad 11 for replacement.
