AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot effectively solve the problem of dry mouth in anesthetized patients after surgery. The cotton swab method can only temporarily relieve dry lips, and the inhalation of moistening agents may cause suffocation if the patient does not cooperate.
A device including a liquid storage bottle, a moisturizer, a spreader and a lip moisturizer was designed. The spreader was driven by a motor to open the mouth, and the moistening liquid was transported to the moistening plate and lip plate using a liquid pump and a catheter system to achieve automatic moistening of the mouth and lips.
It realizes automatic moistening of the mouth and lips of anesthetized patients, avoids patient discomfort and suffocation risks, and improves nursing efficiency and comfort.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to medical devices, and in particular to a device for facilitating the care of dry mouth in anesthetized patients. Background Art
[0002] Anesthesia is an essential part of surgery, effectively relieving pain and ensuring a smooth procedure. However, whether using local or general anesthesia, patients often experience dry mouth after surgery. While not directly life-threatening, dry mouth can cause significant discomfort, impacting recovery and emotional well-being.
[0003] To prevent suffocation during surgery due to vomiting or other reasons, patients are usually required to abstain from food and drink before surgery. This reduces saliva secretion in the patient's mouth, which in turn causes dry mouth. Anesthetic drugs themselves inhibit salivary gland secretion, further reducing the amount of saliva in the mouth. During the postoperative recovery period, patients may change their breathing pattern due to pain or other reasons, such as breathing with their mouths open. This accelerates the evaporation of water in the mouth and aggravates dry mouth symptoms.
[0004] Currently, the main nursing methods for dry mouth in anesthetized patients include wiping the patient's lips and oral mucosa with a moistened cotton swab and having the patient inhale a small amount of moistening agent. However, these methods have the following limitations:
[0005] Cotton swab wiping method: Although it can temporarily relieve dry lips, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of dryness inside the mouth, and frequent wiping may cause discomfort to patients;
[0006] Inhalation of moistened medication: The patient is required to actively cooperate with the inhalation of the medication. However, in some cases, such as when the patient is unconscious or unable to actively cooperate, this method may not be implemented, and may easily cause the patient to choke and suffocate.
