Background
Enteral nutrition technology is an important basic technology in critical patient treatment and is an important therapeutic measure for improving survival and function of patients. Transnasal catheterization to the stomach (nasogastric) or small intestine (nasogastric) is the most common route for enteral nutrition, but in many patients, especially critically ill patients, there is a potential for increased gastric retention, gastroesophageal reflux, poor enteral nutrition tolerance, thereby affecting the patient's enteral nutritional effects and safety, which in turn affects the patient's overall long-term survival outcome, and quality of life. Nasal and intestinal nutrition (or post-pylorus feeding) is a simple and effective nutrition way for improving feeding tolerance of patients, reducing aspiration caused by gastroesophageal reflux and pneumonia risk and guaranteeing enteral nutrition effectiveness, and is also recommended by related diagnosis and treatment guidelines at home and abroad in the professional field. For example Zhang Li, wang Xinying, reading the national guidelines for clinical application of extra-intestinal nutrition in Chinese adult patients (2023 edition) [ J ]. J.J. J.tumor metabolism and nutrition electronic journal 2023,10 (06): 718-723, and further, the ESPEN Utility guidelines part revision of Singer P, blaser AR, berger MM et al, clinical nutrition ,Clin Nutr.2023;42(9):1671-1689[Singer P,Blaser AR,Berger MM,et al.ESPEN practical and partially revised guideline:Clinical nutrition in the intensive care unit.Clin Nutr.2023;42(9):1671-1689]; in intensive care units and application of Liu Y, wang Y, zhang B, wang J, sun L, xao Q gastric tube feeding and post-pylorus feeding (duodenal feeding) in severe patients, systemic review of the occurrence of pulmonary aspiration and nutrition-related outcomes and analysis of .Eur J Clin Nutr.2021;75(9):1337-1348[Liu Y,Wang Y,Zhang B,Wang J,Sun L,Xiao Q.Gastric-tube versus post-pyloric feeding in critical patients:a systematic review and meta-analysis of pulmonary aspiration-and nutrition-related outcomes.Eur J Clin Nutr.2021;75(9):1337-1348]. nasogastric tube (or jejunal tube), Gastrointestinal tube) is applied to all clinical departments of nearly all large and medium hospitals in China, but the placement of the nasal gastrointestinal tube is difficult at present, and most of nasal gastrointestinal tubes can be achieved by blind insertion technology, but medical staff can learn for a long time, patients need posture change, and the difficult patients still need to achieve by means of endoscope and X-ray fluoroscopy. For example Dan Haiyan, liu Aihua, ma Xiao, et al, "Retention and maintenance of adult nasal intestinal tube" group standard interpretation [ J ]. Chinese journal of critical care, 2023,4 (11): 1011-10155; for example SLINGERLAND-Boot R, bouw-Ruiter M, VAN MANEN C, arbous S, van Zanten A. Video assisted placement ,Clin Nutr.2021;40(8):5000-5007[Slingerland-Boot R,Bouw-Ruiter M,van Manen C,Arbous S,van Zanten A.Video-assisted placement of enteral feeding tubes using the Integrated Real-Time Imaging System(IRIS)-technology in critically ill patients.Clin Nutr.2021;40(8):5000-5007]. of enteral feeding tube for critical patients using integrated real-time imaging system (IRIS) is shown in FIG. 1, because nasal intestinal tube may face digestive tract buckling during placement, the pylorus is S-shaped, and the pylorus is difficult to pass through in blind insertion and X-ray perspective operation, so that the investment of manpower, material resources and financial resources of doctors and patients is greatly increased, the timeliness and effectiveness of enteral nutrition treatment of clinically critical patients are hindered, and the medical risk of the patients in the catheterization process is increased. Early retention of the naso-intestinal feeding tube using visual techniques has proven to be a safe and effective way.
Some present visual nasogastric tubes (also commonly called as stomach tubes and intestinal tubes) with light source cameras are arranged at the front ends of the catheters, for example, the patent number CN202121376225.9 of the utility model provides a visual stomach tube, which comprises a stomach tube body, wherein one end of the stomach tube body is provided with a visual camera, an auxiliary fixing device is detachably arranged on the stomach tube body, one end of the stomach tube body is fixedly connected with a mounting seat, the visual camera is arranged on the mounting seat, a transparent protective cover is arranged on the outer side of the visual camera, a plurality of through holes are formed in the side wall, close to the mounting seat, of the stomach tube body in an annular equidistant penetrating manner, a plurality of micro illuminating lamps are arranged on the mounting seat, and the micro illuminating lamps are positioned in the transparent protective cover. COVIDIEN provides an IRIS visualization system, but the system has only a visualization probe. For example SLINGERLAND-Boot R, bouw-Ruiter M, VAN MANEN C, arbous S, van Zanten A. Use of an integrated real-time imaging system (IRIS) to carry out video assisted placement ,Clin Nutr.2021;40(8):5000-5007[Slingerland-Boot R,Bouw-Ruiter M,van Manen C,Arbous S,van Zanten A.Video-assisted placement of enteral feeding tubes using the Integrated Real-Time Imaging System(IRIS)-technology in critically ill patients.Clin Nutr.2021;40(8):5000-5007], of enteral feeding tube and for example KRPASITI T, shepherd SJ. use direct visual positioning to carry out post-pyloric feeding tube (duodenal feeding tube) placement in mechanically ventilated patients, a single central case series study ,Intensive Crit Care Nurs.2022;70:103222[Krpasiti T,Shepherd SJ.Bedside post-pyloric tube placement using direct visualisation in mechanically ventilated patients:A single centre case series.Intensive Crit Care Nurs.2022;70:103222], or more involves a visual gastric tube which, although it can realize visual placement, does not control the bending angle, can not smoothly and accurately insert the pylorus, duodenum of nasogastric tube through gastric cavity to jejunum or desired site, and such gastric tube is mounted at the front end of a camera, can easily adhere sputum, blood, body fluid to the protective cover to view the field of the camera, and in the case of incapable of observing the front end of gastric tube, especially if reaching site of S-shaped bending results in an uncertainty orientation, affecting normal catheterization in place, resulting in a longer whole catheterization, or requiring repeated catheterization after catheterization.

Wherein fig. 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the visual jejunal feeding tube of the present invention wherein the visual jejunal feeding tube 10 comprises a jejunal feeding tube body 11 and an image sensor module 12. For ease of description, referring to fig. 2, 5 and 9, one end of the image sensor module 12 is defined as a distal end or a front end, an end operated by a doctor is defined as a proximal end or a rear end, and the relative distal/front end and proximal/rear end refer to a relative positional relationship, and are not limited to a certain fixed location or position.
Preferably, the jejunum feeding tube main body 11 is made of TPU or PVC material, and has a certain flexibility, so that the jejunum feeding tube 10 is convenient to bend, while the image sensor module 12 is made of hard material, and cannot bend, and the longer image sensor module 12 can affect the insertion of the jejunum feeding tube 10 due to the large bending angle in the intestinal tract, for example, the image sensor module 12 cannot bend at the large bending angle during the intubation process, and scratches the inner wall of the intestinal tract or squeeze the bending part of the intestinal tract, and in severe cases, scratches the inner wall of the intestinal tract, so that the length of the image sensor module 12 is designed to be shorter, preferably, the length of the image sensor module 12 is 3mm-8mm, and more preferably, the length is 5mm.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, a jejunum nutrition tube cavity 111 extending from a proximal end to a distal end is arranged in the jejunum nutrition tube main body 11, a first opening 112 is arranged in the jejunum nutrition tube cavity 111 at the proximal end, a plurality of side holes 113 communicated with the interior of the jejunum nutrition tube cavity 111 are arranged at the distal end of the jejunum nutrition tube main body 11, the side holes 113 are used for feeding food in the jejunum nutrition tube cavity 111 into an intestinal tract, an image sensor module 12 is arranged at the distal end of the jejunum nutrition tube 10, and preferably, the rear end of the image sensor module 12 is sleeved at the distal end of the jejunum nutrition tube main body 11 and is adhered and fixed through glue.
Further, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the image sensor module 12 is provided with a camera 121, and further preferably, the camera 121 is a high-definition micro-camera for capturing an image of the distal end of the jejunum nutrition tube 10, and the image sensor module 12 is further provided with at least one first nozzle 122 for spraying a cleaning agent toward the lens at the front end of the camera 121. Preferably, the cleansing agent is physiological saline to avoid rejection by the patient. The first nozzle 122 sprays the cleaning agent towards the camera 121 to wash away mucus, sputum, body fluid and the like adhered to the lens of the camera 121, so that the camera 121 can always capture clear images of the front end.
Preferably, the direction in which the first nozzle 122 sprays the cleaning agent forms an included angle of 0-30 degrees with the lens surface of the camera 121, and further preferably forms an included angle of 5-15 degrees, which is favorable for cleaning the adhesion objects on the lens surface of the camera 121.
Further preferably, as shown in fig. 3,4, 11 and 12, the image sensor module 12 is further provided with at least one second nozzle 123 for spraying a cleaning agent toward the distal end of the jejunal nutrition tube 10, and when the camera 121 collects images of mucus, sputum or the like collected at the front end, the mucus, sputum or the like is flushed out in advance through the second nozzle 123 in order to avoid adhesion to the lens of the camera 121 or influence on the insertion of the jejunal nutrition tube. Preferably, the direction in which the second nozzle 123 sprays the cleaning agent makes an angle of 0 to 10 degrees with the axial direction of the camera 121, and more preferably, an angle of 3 to 8 degrees. As an alternative embodiment, the second nozzles 123 include a plurality of second nozzles 123, so that the sprayed cleaning agent spreads in an umbrella shape, which is beneficial to wash away the adhesive at the front end of the image sensor module in advance and effectively, so as to avoid adhering to the camera 121 and viewing the image.
It is further preferable that the first nozzle 122 and the second nozzle 123 protrude from the front end of the camera 121, and it is preferable that the first nozzle 122 and the second nozzle 123 are formed in the image sensor module 12 by integral injection molding, and it is further preferable that the first nozzle 122 and the second nozzle 123 communicate internally and communicate with the first cleaning agent lumen 124 inside the image sensor module 12.

Further preferably, at least one second suction port 117 is provided on the side wall of the jejunum nutrition tube main body 11 near the connection position of the image sensor module 12 and the jejunum nutrition tube main body 11, the second suction port 117 is communicated with the suction lumen 116 in the wall of the jejunum nutrition tube main body 11, the contents in the inner wall of the intestinal tract or the stomach can be further sucked through the suction of the suction device, the side hole 113 for feeding is prevented from being blocked, and meanwhile, the adhesion or the contents which are not sucked cleanly by the first suction port 126 can be further sucked cleanly.
It is further preferable to provide a plurality of second suction ports 117 along the longitudinal axis of the jejunal feeding tube body 11 to increase the sucking effect.
Further preferably, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the second suction port 117 is located at the front end of the first side hole 113 in the axial direction and is not in the same straight line with the first side hole 113, so that it is ensured that the jejunum nutrition tube lumen 111 communicated with the first side hole 113 and the suction lumen 116 communicated with the second suction port 117 are kept in straight line extension, the lumen is prevented from crossing or the extension direction is changed, and the processing and forming of the whole jejunum nutrition tube 11 main body are facilitated.
It is further preferred that the snake bone structure 131 be disposed within a sleeve 1311, the sleeve 1311 extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and disposed proximally within the grip 1341, the first pull wire 132 and the second pull wire 133 being disposed within the sleeve 1311, as shown in fig. 14-16.
Further preferably, in order to increase the adjustment mode and flexibility of the distal end of the jejunum nutrition tube 10, the angle adjusting device 13 is further provided with a rotation control device 135, the rotation control device 135 is disposed at the front end of the holding portion 1341 and can rotate left and right relative to the holding portion 1341, the rotation control device 135 is tightly matched with the proximal sleeve 1311, so that the left and right rotation operation of the rotation control device 135 synchronously drives the sleeve 1311 to rotate left and right, further the distal snake bone structure 131 can be controlled to do left and right rotation, thus the distal end of the jejunum nutrition tube 10 can be bent or rotated by a certain angle, the flexibility of controlling the distal end of the jejunum nutrition tube 10 is improved, even if the more complex intestinal structures such as the gastric wall folds can pass smoothly and be placed, and the field of view of the image collected by the camera 121 is further enlarged.
Further preferably, for the convenience of the doctor, a toggle protrusion 1351 is provided on the outer surface of the rotation control means 135.
