Description

Endotracheal intubation tool

The novel is a creation of a medical device, in particular, the creation of an endotracheal intubation tool.

For patients with end-of-breath, tracheal intubation is a necessary means of maintaining respiratory function. To maintain the patient's vital signs, the medical staff must deliver the endotracheal tube to the patient's trachea to provide oxygen in a short period of time. Therefore, how to quickly and effectively intubate has become an important issue for medical staff. In practice, medical personnel often use a tracheal intubation tool with a camera to confirm the position of the patient's trachea, and then place the endotracheal tube into the trachea of the patient, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,306,547 and U.S. Patent Publication No. 2007/ The tracheal intubation tool disclosed in 0106121 is a widely used tracheal intubation tool, and both endotracheal intubation tools are equipped with a photographic device on the side of the tracheal inner tube guide groove, when the medical staff After observing the patient's tracheal opening, the imaging device pushes the endotracheal tube on the side of the imaging device into the patient's trachea.

Sometimes the body structure of a restricted patient is different. The visual field of such an endotracheal intubation tool is often not observed because of the parallax caused by the camera position on the side of the tracheal tube guide or the obstruction of the endotracheal tube. The location of the tracheal opening has prevented medical personnel from accurately inserting the endotracheal tube into the patient's trachea, as indicated in the 2010 Journal of Anesthesiology (Acta Anaethesiologica Scandinavica 2010; 54(9): 1050-61). There is still a risk that the tracheal intubation tools commonly used by medical personnel cannot be accurately intubated.

In view of the fact that tracheal intubation is directly related to patient survival, it is necessary to propose an endotracheal intubation tool to make the intubation procedure more convenient and accurate.
