Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for fixing a trachea insertion tube, which fixes a trachea insertion tube inserted into a trachea to secure an airway of a patient and maintain breath of a patient being operated through artificial respiration and general anesthesia of an intensive care unit in order to protect a life of the patient. Although the trachea insertion tube performs the fixing by generally using a sticking plaster, sometimes, the fixing method is inconvenient, the sticking plaster is easily separated by saliva or blood, or the tube is moved or separated due to movement so that a patient becomes endangered. In order to solve the aforementioned problem, there are various types of apparatuses for fixing a trachea insertion tube. However, there are problems in that the apparatuses are inconvenient, the tube is bent, etc. The present invention is configured such that a spiral tube fixing portion (200) having elasticity and formed of a synthetic resin or a metal material is installed in a face contact portion being in contact with and fixing to a face of a patient, and a fixing protrusion and an adhesive material are provided on an inner surface of the tube fixing portion. After insertion of a tube into trachea, when the tube fixing portion is turned and wound around the trachea insertion tube, the trachea insertion tube is firmly fixed by an elastic force, the fixing protrusion, and an adhesive material. The tube fixing portion has an elastic property, so that even when the trachea insertion tube receives a force from one side, the trachea insertion tube is not folded and is smoothly bent. Due to the aforementioned structure, after the insertion of the tube into the trachea, the tube can be easily, rapidly and surely fixed, and interruption of artificial respiration generated by the folding of the tube can be prevented.

The present invention relates to a tracheal intubation tube fixation device, and more particularly, to insert into the trachea to protect the patient's life by maintaining the breathing of the patient during surgery through the airway and emergency ventilation and general anesthesia of the emergency patient It relates to a fixing device of the endotracheal tube.

Endotracheal tubes are inserted to secure the airway and intubated to an appropriate depth and then secured to prevent the tracheal intubation tube from falling out. Usually, a bandage is wrapped around the tube and a bandage is placed around the mouth.

When fixing the tube, one person usually holds the tube, and the other person wraps the bandage several times around the tube and then attaches it around the mouth. Problems that can occur at this time is that the band-aid is easily dropped when the saliva is wet by saliva, it is difficult to attach to the person with a beard or bad skin condition, it will fall more easily. In addition, the position of the patient is changed and pulled out due to the movement of the patient or the pulling of the tube due to the fixed fixation. If the patient stops breathing, the risk of brain death or cardiac arrest may occur.

To solve this problem, numerous types of tube holders have been developed. Such devices are effective for fixing the tube itself by various mechanical methods, but various disadvantages have occurred, the biggest disadvantage of which is that excessive force is generated at the fixing part, causing the tube itself to break and suddenly stop the ventilation. Will be. In addition, due to the complicated mechanical structure, there is a disadvantage that obstructs the patient's actions by covering the patient's mouth.

Due to these shortcomings, various tube fixing devices made to help fix the tube are not used because of the traditional adhesive method.

In order to solve this problem, a method of fixing a tube by using a spiral tube support having elasticity was invented. In the present invention, an elastic spiral tube support and an airway securing bite block are installed in a face contact portion secured using a band or a band-aid around the mouth.

The tube support is elastic and has a smaller diameter than the tracheal intubation tube to be fixed so that the tracheal intubation tube can be closely fixed by elastic force. The inner wall of the tube support is characterized in that it is attached with a protrusion and an adhesive to help secure the tube.

After the airway intubation, the airway securing block was inserted between the patient's teeth, and the face contact part was closely adhered to the patient's mouth, and then the spiral tube support was rotated around the tracheal intubation tube to secure the tracheal intubation tube.

Thereafter, the face contact part was secured by being closely adhered around the patient's mouth using a band-aid or a band.

By using such spiral tube support, the intubation tube was inserted, the tube was grabbed, the tube support was rotated around the tube, and the lip contact was fixed to the face using a band-aid or band to fix the tracheal intubation tube. Rather than one person grasping the tracheal intubation tube and another wounding the bandage around the tracheal intubation tube, one tracheal intubator was able to fix the tracheal intubation tube quickly.

In addition, by using the elastic spiral tube support, the tracheal intubation tube can be firmly fixed and the tube can be bent in a smooth curve without being bent even if the tracheal intubation tube is pulled or applied. This prevented the serious situation of stopping ventilation.

In addition, the airway securing block prevents the patient from biting the tracheal intubation tube, making it impossible to breathe and create a space for suctioning airway secretions or vomiting.
