Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to respiratory support equipment for ICU patients. Background Technology

[0002] Patients treated in the ICU often fall into a coma. In a coma, their ability to breathe independently is weakened. Without external respiratory support equipment, patients are likely to suffer more serious harm due to insufficient oxygen intake. Therefore, each bed in the ICU is equipped with a ventilator to provide assisted respiratory therapy when patients are in a coma. The ventilator needs to be used in conjunction with an oxygen mask. Simply put, masks are mainly divided into nasal pillow masks, nasal masks, and oral-nasal masks because of the different parts they cover. Among them, oral-nasal masks are the most commonly used in the ICU.

[0003] An existing adjustable ICU ventilator (publication number: CN221751893U) has at least the following drawbacks: the device collects condensate generated inside the mask by setting a condensate collection mechanism at the front end of the mask. However, since the back end of the mask faces downwards and towards the patient's face when the patient wears it, the condensate on the inner wall of the mask flows along the inner wall to the patient's face. Only a small amount of condensate flows to the front end of the mask, which means that the condensate collection mechanism of the device cannot effectively collect the condensate inside the mask, resulting in some condensate still flowing to the patient's face and causing discomfort to the patient. Therefore, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a respiratory support device for ICU patients.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The respiratory support device for ICU patients includes an oxygen mask. The oxygen mask has a drainage component inside. The drainage component includes a baffle fixed to the inner wall of the oxygen mask near the rear end. The baffle is inclined towards the bottom of the oxygen mask. A guide groove is provided on the front side of the baffle. An outlet hole is provided on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the oxygen mask at the baffle.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a connecting sleeve is fixed at the bottom surface of the oxygen mask where it communicates with the liquid outlet, and a liquid collection bottle is connected to the bottom surface of the connecting sleeve.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this invention, an absorbent sponge is fixed inside the liquid collection bottle near the top surface.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a rubber strip is fixed to the inner wall of the liquid collecting bottle near the top opening, and the rubber strip is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the connecting sleeve.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the oxygen mask has connection holes on the front side near the left and right sides, and an elastic band is provided on the rear side of the oxygen mask, with the two ends of the elastic band being tied to the two connection holes respectively.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the liquid collection bottle is a transparent polyethylene bottle, and a scale is provided on one side of the liquid collection bottle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By installing a baffle strip on the inner wall of the oxygen mask near the rear end, when the patient puts on the oxygen mask, the rear end of the mask faces downwards, causing water droplets condensing on the inner wall of the oxygen mask to slide down the inner wall to the baffle strip. The water droplets enter the guide groove. Because the baffle strip is tilted towards the bottom of the oxygen mask, the water droplets flow through the guide groove to the outlet and are discharged into the collection bottle for collection, effectively preventing water droplets on the inner wall of the oxygen mask from sliding down onto the patient's face and causing discomfort.

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "both ends," "one end," and "the other end," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the ICU patient respiratory support device includes an oxygen mask 1. The oxygen mask 1 has a drainage component inside. The drainage component includes a baffle 2 fixed to the inner wall of the oxygen mask 1 near the rear end. The baffle 2 is inclined towards the bottom of the oxygen mask 1. A guide groove 201 is provided on the front side of the baffle 2. An outlet hole 202 is provided on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the oxygen mask 1 at the baffle 2.

[0023] like Figures 2-4 As shown in this embodiment, a connecting sleeve 203 is fixed at the bottom surface of the oxygen mask 1 where it connects to the liquid outlet 202. A collection bottle 204 is connected to the bottom surface of the connecting sleeve 203. By setting up the collection bottle 204, the water discharged from the liquid outlet 202 can be collected in a concentrated manner.

[0024] like Figures 2-4 As shown in this embodiment, an absorbent sponge 205 is fixed inside the collection bottle 204 near the top surface. By setting the absorbent sponge 205, the water can be absorbed and allowed to permeate into the collection bottle 204 for collection. At the same time, it temporarily blocks the water inside the collection bottle 204, preventing the water in the collection bottle 204 from flowing back into the oxygen mask 1 due to the patient's brief movement.

[0025] like Figures 2-4As shown in this embodiment, a rubber strip 206 is fixed to the inner wall of the collection bottle 204 near the top opening. The rubber strip 206 is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 203. By setting the rubber strip 206 to be interference-fitted with the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 203, it is convenient for users to quickly disassemble or install the collection bottle 204.

[0026] like Figures 2-4 As shown in this embodiment, the oxygen mask 1 has connection holes 3 on the front side near the left and right sides, and an elastic band 301 is provided on the rear side of the oxygen mask 1. The two ends of the elastic band 301 are respectively tied to the two connection holes 3. The elastic band 301 makes it easy to wear the oxygen mask 1 on the patient's face.

[0027] like Figures 2-4 As shown in this embodiment, the liquid collection bottle 204 is a transparent polyethylene bottle with a scale on one side. By setting the liquid collection bottle 204 to be a transparent polyethylene bottle with a scale on one side, it is convenient for users to check the liquid collection status of the liquid collection bottle 204.

[0028] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: By setting a baffle 2 near the rear end of the inner wall of the oxygen mask 1, when the patient wears the oxygen mask 1, the rear end of the oxygen mask 1 faces downwards, causing the water droplets condensed on the inner wall of the oxygen mask 1 to slide down the inner wall to the baffle 2. The water droplets enter the interior of the guide groove 201. Since the baffle 2 is tilted towards the bottom of the oxygen mask 1, the water droplets in the guide groove 201 flow to the outlet hole 202 and are discharged into the collection bottle 204 for collection, effectively preventing the water droplets on the inner wall of the oxygen mask 1 from sliding down onto the patient's face and causing discomfort. The water-absorbing sponge 205 can further prevent this. The system absorbs and allows the water to permeate into the collection bottle 204 for collection. It also temporarily blocks the water inside the collection bottle 204 to prevent the water from flowing back into the oxygen mask 1 due to the patient's brief movement. The rubber strip 206 is connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 203 by an interference fit, which makes it easy for users to quickly disassemble or install the collection bottle 204. The elastic band 301 makes it easy to wear the oxygen mask 1 on the patient's face. The collection bottle 204 is a transparent polyethylene bottle with a scale on one side, which makes it easy for users to check the water collection status of the collection bottle 204.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
