摘要:
In an embodiment, a connector or connector assembly for attaching a nasal cannula with a gas delivery hose includes a sensor port for a sensor probe positioned near an end of a nasal cannula, which can allow the sensor probe to be placed closer to the patient’s nostrils than previous connector parts allowed. In an embodiment, the connector is configured to advantageously allow the nasal cannula to rotate relative to the gas delivery hose, thereby allowing a patient or healthcare provider to untangle or otherwise straighten the hose or the cannula. In an embodiment, the connector assembly is configured to automatically align locking protrusions on a first component with locking recesses on a second component, where insertion of the second component within the first component causes the second component to rotate relative to the first component, thereby aligning the locking protrusions with associated locking recesses.在一實施方式中,一種用於將鼻插管與氣體輸送軟管進行附接的接頭或接頭元件包括用於一感測器探針的一感測器端口,該感測器探針被定位在一鼻插管的一端附近,該接頭或接頭元件與以前的接頭零件所允許的情況相比可以允許將該感測器探針被放置得更接近病人的鼻孔。在一實施方式中,該接頭被配置成用於有利地允許該鼻插管相對於該氣體輸送軟管而轉動,由此允許病人或醫療保健提供者解開或者以其他方式拉直該軟管或插管。在一實施方式中,該接頭元件被配置成用於自動地將一第一部件上的多個鎖定突起與一第二部件上的多個鎖定凹陷對準,其中該第二部件插入該第一部件內導致該第二部件相對於該第一部件而轉動,由此將該等鎖定突起與相關聯的鎖定凹陷對準。
