The invention relates to
medical instruments, in particular to a tracheal
catheter capable of directly monitoring the end-tidal
carbon dioxide partial pressure of an infant. The tracheal
catheter comprises a
catheter body, a
cuff, a connector, an opening and a thin tube, wherein the
cuff is connected to one end of the catheter body, the connector is arranged at the other end of the catheter body, the opening is arranged in a position, between the
cuff and the connector and close to the cuff, of the catheter body and connected with the thin tube, and the
tail end of the thin tube is connected with an end-tidal
carbon dioxide monitor. The tracheal catheter has the advantages that the tracheal catheter is improved to solve the technical problem that due to the fact that the infant is low in
body weight, if an existing
tail-end sampling device is used, the
dilution effect of
fresh air flow in the tracheal catheter on
carbon dioxide is evident, and the measured end-tidal carbon dioxide is evidently lower than an actual value, the sampling part opening 1 is close to the top end of the tracheal catheter, the inner
diameter of the thin tube 2 is small, the
fresh air quantity in the thin tube 2 is low, influence of the
fresh air flow on the collected
breathing gas at the top end of the tracheal catheter is small, the end-tidal carbon dioxide level can be reflected accurately, and the tracheal catheter is evident in use effect.
