Device for detecting nasal cavity dryness

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for detecting nasal cavity dryness. The device comprises a nose clip capable of being fixed on a nose wing or a nasal septum, a connecting part connected with the noseclip, and moisture detection test paper connected to the tail end of the connecting part, wherein the surface of the moisture detection test paper is covered with a transparent waterproof film, the moisture detection test paper is provided with an exposed part, the exposed part is not covered with the waterproof film, and a color-changing temperature indicating strip is further arranged at the position close to the exposed part. The dryness and temperature of the nasal mucosa can be objectively and accurately detected, and a doctor can accurately master and treat the nasal lesion condition ofa patient conveniently.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a device for detecting nasal dryness. Background technique [0002] The nose is an important organ of human beings, responsible for important functions such as breathing, smell, immunity, and protection. The nasal mucosa is the first line of defense for the human respiratory tract to contact the external environment. It can sense external temperature, humidity, and odor stimuli, thereby regulating mucus The function of the cilia transmission system is to secrete mucus to absorb bacteria, dust, microorganisms, etc. in the air, and to discharge large particles of harmful substances. It is an important protective barrier for the human body. At the same time, the nasal mucosa also has the effect of warming and humidifying the inhaled gas from the outside, so that the temperature and humidity of the gas flowing through the nasal cavity to the lower respiratory tract (bronc...

Problems solved by technology

In addition, the excessive use of nasal decongestants (oxymetazoline, ephedrine, etc.), the use of certain chemotherapy drugs, and long-distance flights may cause nasal dryness.

At present, doctors do not have a standardized objective evaluation system when diagnosing nasal dryness. Instead, they often judge whether the amount of mucus secreted by the nasal mucosa is normal by asking the patient whether the nasal cavity is dry. This method is easily affected by the subjectivity of the patient (patients usually exaggerate Symptoms), which cannot be quantified clinically and have large errors, and the treatment plan given is not accurate enough. Adjuvant treatments such as nasal irrigation and peppermint oil to moisturize and clean the nasal cavity often cannot give patients targeted and individualized treatment, and it is difficult to meet the needs of patients. expected, suboptimal treatment

Most importantly, despite the help of objective examination methods such as anterior rhinoscope and nasal endoscopy, many patients' subjective feelings do not match the objective examination results (subjective and objective separation). Such patients often have serious subjective feelings, but objective examination of the nasal cavity does not Without corresponding changes, it is most likely to cause doctor-patient disputes at this time, resulting in unnecessary consequences
