A kind of oral care method

Abstract

The invention provides an oral care appliance for patients with tracheal intubation and an oral care method using the oral care appliance. The oral care appliance includes a liquid storage part for temporarily storing medicinal liquid, and the liquid storage part One end of the liquid storage part is connected with a suction pipe, and the other end of the liquid storage part is connected with a liquid infusion pipe. The end of the liquid infusion pipe is connected with a cleaning head, and the cleaning head includes a cotton brush or a hair brush, and the top of the cotton brush There is a channel for receiving the endotracheal tube. The invention can not only clean the patient's oral cavity and the outer wall of the trachea intubation with the medicinal liquid, but also has the function of sucking phlegm, and the oral care method thus performed has excellent clinical effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical care, and in particular relates to an oral care appliance and an oral care method for patients with tracheal intubation. Background technique [0002] Orotracheal intubation using a ventilator to assist breathing has become an important rescue method for critically ill patients, but mechanical ventilation with tracheal intubation can increase the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). According to the research on VAP in recent years, VAP is a major factor in the mortality and exacerbation of patients with mechanical ventilation, the incidence rate is 9%-27%, and the mortality rate exceeds 50%. . Under physiological conditions, the body's immunity and the resident oral flora are in a dynamic balance of mutual restraint, coupled with self-cleaning abilities such as drinking water, gargling, and brushing teeth, it is not easy to get sick. Decreased immunity, increased oral secretions, ...

Problems solved by technology

It is not difficult to see that there are currently no special oral care appliances for patients with endotracheal intubation. In clinical practice, toothbrushes or cotton balls are often used to wipe the mouth. Toothbrushes are difficult to use with nursing liquid and can only meet basic oral cleaning. For For patients with poor immunity, the bactericidal effect is poor, and the germs that cannot be removed still pose a huge threat; while cotton balls can be dipped in medicinal liquid, but the cotton balls are too soft, and the cleaning effect on tooth residues is not good. not ideal
