Description

Telescopic medical tubing set

The invention relates to a medical tubing set, in particular to a telescopic medical tubing set.

1. The nature of the invention:

Pneumonia, the top ten causes of death in the past years, has been on the list, and the rankings are all in the top three. Pneumonia causes excessive respiratory secretions, which increases the demand for suction tubes. Many family members, foreign nurses or other non-medical personnel need to assist nursing centers or home The patient sucks sputum, but the currently commercially available or patented sterile gloves and sputum suction tubes have many disadvantages, including: poorly designed sterile gloves, easy to contaminate when picked up, longer sputum suction tubes and increased storage space, sterile gloves and The sputum suction tube is placed separately, which causes inconvenience and long suction tube, which makes it easy to touch the non-sterile area during the process of drawing the inner tube of the sputum suction tube. The above shortcomings cause the risk of respiratory tract infections in the sputum suction process. increase.

2. Creative motivation:

"Sputum suction" is a technique with a very high clinical implementation rate for nursing staff. No matter which department, patients may encounter patients who are weak or unable to cough up respiratory secretions on their own. At this time, patients may have lungs. Infections, breathing difficulties, decreased blood oxygen saturation, etc., not only reduce the quality of the patient’s hospitalization, but also endanger the patient’s life safety. In this way, nurses use sputum extraction techniques to assist the patient in expelling secretions to reduce combined For patients with endotracheal tube placement, tracheostomy, or breathing apparatus, the frequency of performing sputum extraction techniques is even higher.

The most important thing for sputum extraction is "aseptic technique." The implementation of sputum extraction technique is to reduce lung infections due to the inability to discharge respiratory secretions. If aseptic technique is not implemented, other complications may occur. For the nursing staff in the ward, they should be one of the most proficient in sputum extraction techniques. They cannot implement 100% aseptic technology every time they perform sputum extraction techniques, let alone the caregivers who have to extract sputum for the patient.

Currently commercially available sterile gloves are improperly designed (the difference in the length of the upper and lower layers is small, which makes it difficult for the hands to slip into the inner layer) and the length of the suction tube is long (about 45 cm), which leads to the process of suction care and is easy to get infected. Contaminated gloves and suction tubes increase the risk of infection. In addition, the sputum tube and sterile gloves are packaged separately, which increases the inconvenience of preparation.

3. Literature verification and academic basis:

The purpose of suction and the importance of aseptic suction:

"Sputum extraction" is a technique commonly performed by nursing staff in clinical practice. Whether in medical or surgical wards, patients may encounter patients who are weak or unable to cough up secretions on their own. It is necessary to use sputum technology to help patients Excretion of secretions, especially for some patients with endotracheal tube, tracheostomy, and breathing apparatus, the frequency of sputum extraction is higher. Among them, critically ill patients in the intensive care unit often use endotracheal intubation to receive oxygen therapy due to changes in respiratory function. However, the use of endotracheal intubation will hinder the discharge of sputum from the patient’s respiratory tract. Endotracheal aspiration, also known as sputum suction, becomes The most important nursing measure to assist in the removal of secretions. According to public literature data, the relationship between the cognition and skills of intensive nursing staff on empirical endotracheal sputum suction was studied, and it was found that the percentage of intensive nursing staff who performed each step of the sputum extraction procedure, 74.6% of them had “aseptic technique”. Compliance, it is estimated that 25.4% of people did not comply with aseptic technique.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2013, the death rate of Chinese people suffering from pneumonia is 38.7 per 100,000. Nosocomial pneumonia is divided into respirator-related pneumonia and medical passport-related pneumonia. The causes of ventilator-related pneumonia are not only the patient’s own factors (such as underlying diseases, etc.), but also related consumables (such as breathing apparatus tubes, etc.) And medical staff (the frequency of glove replacement between caring for patients, etc.) are relevant.

Based on the above, as for the aseptic technique, which is the most demanding technique for sputum extraction, if the aseptic technique is not followed, there may be the possibility of nosocomial pneumonia.

4. Please refer to the attachment for your cooperation. The photos in the attachment show the existing suction tubes and patents. The following is an explanation of the shortcomings of the existing suction tubes and their patents:

Sterile gloves in a single package:

1. Pack the gloves in a single package, which can be taken separately or replaced separately, but the outer packaging needs to be removed to take the gloves, which increases the packaging cost.

2. No scalability.

3. Long storage length.

4. The operation is cumbersome.

5. High pollution rate.

6. Sterile gloves are 1.8 yuan, because there is no sputum suction tube attached, so you need to buy a sputum suction tube separately.

Removable suction tube (with gloves):

1. Sterile gloves are included in the package, but the non-sterile take-out area of the gloves is too short, but the gloves are too long, and it is easy to be contaminated during the handling. .

2. No scalability.

3. Long storage length.

4. The operation is cumbersome.

5. High pollution rate.

6. Each group is 3 yuan, if it is contaminated, the cost of a single suction is 6 yuan or more.

1. The non-sterile take-out area of the gloves is too short, and it is easy to be contaminated during the take-up operation. There are no sterile gloves in the package, so additional gloves are needed, which increases the preparation time. In addition, gloves need additional packaging, which increases packaging costs.

2. No scalability.

3. Long storage length.

4. The operation is cumbersome.

5. High pollution rate.

6. The sputum suction tube is 2.7 yuan, and the sterile gloves is 1.8 yuan, so the cost of a sputum suction is 4.5 yuan.

Roll-up suction tube (Taiwan new type No. M501859):

1. Sterile gloves are included in the package, but the non-sterile take-out area of the gloves is too short, and the sputum suction tube is too long, and it is curled up in the packaging bag for a long time, which may cause curling of the shape and inconvenience of suctioning.

2. No scalability.

3. The storage length is wider.

4. The operation is cumbersome.

5. Medium contamination rate.

6. Not commercialized.
