Abstract
This paper presents a development of a current design the Endotracheal tube holding device. At present, the medical teams have faced a lot of problems when doing the endotracheal intubation. Misplacement of endotracheal tube into the esophagus and extubation due to patient’s movement are among the problems by surgeons during medical treatment. This is important as the successful management of the potential risk can reduce the number of patients who suffer a serious consequence of endtracheal tube therapy such as a potential risk to patient safety, with associated risks varying from minor complications to death. This paper presents a product design specification for endotracheal tube-holding device is translated from user’s requirements by employing Quality Functional Deployment (QFD). Several design concepts are generated by using CATIA software to be evaluated by endotracheal tube-holding device users for concept selection. Selection of design concept was done in two phases which are concept screening and concept scoring. For selecting the design concept for further development, a prototype of endotracheal tube was fabricated by using Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM).
Highlights
An endotracheal tube is a breathing tube in curved shape and commonly used in critical medicine for many patients in operation theatre, intensive care units (ICU) and emergency departments as shown in figure 1
Several researchers had applied Quality function deployment (QFD) to identify the elements of the design of the medical devices that will satisfy the customer’s need [79]. This method determines the important set of requirement for each phase of Product Development Process (PDP) planning and uses them to identify the set of technical characteristics of each phase that most contribute to satisfying the requirements
This could be because the current endotracheal tube holder that is available in the market has a complicated design
Summary
An endotracheal tube is a breathing tube in curved shape and commonly used in critical medicine for many patients in operation theatre, intensive care units (ICU) and emergency departments as shown in figure 1. The problem of the existing design endtracheal tube holder (ETT) when doing the endotracheal intubation causing inappropriate fixation of an endotracheal tube which results the patients experienced difficult tracheostorm into the esophagus and extubation are not thoroughly investigated.
