Nursing brace for chest tube removal

Abstract

A nursing scaffold used for pulling out a thoracic duct comprises a cover cap part and a sleeve part which are made of a transparent elastic material, wherein the cover cap part comprises a front side wall, a rear side wall, a left inclined wall and a right inclined wall, wherein the front side wall, the rear side wall, the left inclined wall and the right inclined wall define to form a cover cavity; the bottom surface of the cover cavity is hollow; the inclined angle of the left inclined wall is 25-55 degrees; a wall hole allowing the thoracic duct to penetrate through is formed in the upper part of the right inclined wall; the sleeve part extends to upper right from lower left; a seam is formed in the sleeve wall of the sleeve part; a seam is also formed in the middle of the left inclined wall; the seam of the left inclined wall and the seam of the sleeve part are communicated to form a through seam; lip sides extending upwards are respectively connected with the front side edge and the rear side edge of the through seam; a lip side jacket is also arranged; the front lip side and the rear lip side are inserted into the cavity of the lip side jacket in a close fit manner; the cover cavity is also communicated with a hose; the hose is communicated with a negative pressure ball made of a rubber material. By adopting the nursing scaffold, pneumothorax in the process of pulling out the thoracic duct can be effectively prevented and the operation is simple and convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical nursing appliances, and in particular relates to a nursing support for removing a chest tube. Background technique [0002] In order to discharge the gas in the chest cavity or collect the fluid in the chest cavity, thoracic drainage is required clinically. Thoracic drainage is to cut a drainage hole in the patient's chest wall, insert a drainage tube, and then gradually discharge the gas or collect the fluid in the chest cavity; after the drainage is completed, the drainage tube should be removed and the wound (drainage hole) should be closed. After the drainage tube is removed, the drainage hole in the chest wall must be closed immediately to prevent outside air from entering the chest cavity (referred to as pneumothorax). In order to prevent the patient from inhaling external air in the chest cavity after extubation, the usual practice is to let the patient take a full breath before extubation...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Especially for infants, the elderly, and those in severe pain, the compliance and cooperation of holding breath are low, which often increases the instability of operation and easily leads to the occurrence of pneumothorax
