Smart endotracheal intubation

Abstract

A smart endotracheal tube is inserted into a person's trachea to monitor breathing. The smart endotracheal tube includes a tube body and a breathing status detection device. The tube body includes a first end and a second end. The first end is inserted into the trachea. The second end protrudes to the outside; the first and second ends are opposite to each other. The breathing status detection device is connected to the tube body and placed inside the person's body. The breathing status detection device includes a gas flow rate detection module used to detect the gas flow rate through the tube body.

Claims

1. A smart endotracheal tube for insertion into a human trachea and monitoring respiration, the smart endotracheal tube comprising: A tube body includes: a first end for insertion into the trachea; and a second end for protruding to the outside, the first end and the second end being opposite ends; and a breathing status detection device connected to the tube body and placed inside the human body, the breathing status detection device including a gas flow rate detection module for detecting a gas flow rate flowing through the tube body.

2. The intelligent endotracheal tube as described in claim 1, wherein the respiratory status tester further includes a camera module connected to the tube body and used to capture an internal state of the human body.

3. The intelligent endotracheal tube as described in claim 2, wherein the breathing status tester further includes a pressure detection module connected to the tube body and used to detect a pressure in the trachea.

4. The intelligent endotracheal tube as described in claim 3, wherein the breathing status detection device further includes a transmission module that is signal-connected to the imaging module, the gas flow rate detection module, the pressure detection module and an external computer.

5. The intelligent endotracheal tube as described in claim 4, wherein the breathing status tester further includes a memory, the memory signal being connected to the imaging module, the gas flow rate detection module and the pressure detection module.

6. The intelligent endotracheal tube as described in claim 5, wherein the breathing status detection device further includes a processor that is signal-connected to the imaging module, the gas flow rate detection module, the pressure detection module, the transmission module, and the memory.

7. The intelligent endotracheal tube as described in claim 6, wherein the breathing status detection device further includes a power module that provides power to the imaging module, the gas flow detection module, the pressure detection module, the transmission module, the memory, and the processor.

8. The intelligent endotracheal cannula as described in claim 7 further includes an air bag connected to the cannula and used for placement within the trachea.

9. The intelligent endotracheal cannula as described in claim 8 further includes an inflation valve connected to the airbag.
