Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of protection of anesthesiologists from occupational exposure, and more particularly to a medical ether-proof surgical mask. Background Art
[0002] Anesthetic tail gas (including waste gas, the same below) refers specifically to inhaled anesthetics such as sevoflurane (C4H3F7O) which will inevitably leak into the air during general anesthesia in the operating room. The main leakage pathways include the anesthesia technology itself, the delivery system and the removal system of the anesthesia machine. The removal system is the most important procedure to reduce indoor air pollution. However, even if the removal system is perfect, there will still be anesthetic waste gas pollution in the room. This is mainly caused by volatilization when the ether tank is opened, liquid splashing, abnormal opening of the ventilation pipeline, leakage during the use of double-lumen tubes for thoracic anesthesia, leakage caused by laryngeal mask ventilation during general anesthesia, spontaneous breathing during the recovery period of general anesthesia, and sevoflurane mask induction. Here, the mixed gas containing fluoroethers such as sevoflurane that flows through the patient's lung exchange without the anesthesia machine removal system and purification treatment system and is discharged from the AGSS port of the anesthesia machine is collectively referred to as pure anesthetic tail gas. The air pollution in the operating room is mixed with anesthetic tail gas and anesthetic waste gas. These polluted air, especially the anesthetic waste gas, will inevitably be inhaled into the respiratory tract by the anesthesiologist who works closest to the anesthesia machine even in a Class 100 laminar flow operating room. Long-term accumulation will inevitably lead to damage to health.
[0003] Studies have shown that female medical workers exposed to anesthetic exhaust have an increased risk of spontaneous abortion, tumors, liver disease, and kidney disease, and their offspring have an increased risk of congenital abnormalities; male physicians exposed to anesthetic exhaust have an increased risk of liver disease, and their children also have an increased risk of congenital abnormalities. On the other hand, anesthetic exhaust discharged into the air can also cause environmental pollution and trigger the greenhouse effect. In recent years, inhaled anesthetics have been increasingly criticized, and the solution widely discussed in countries around the world is mainly to reduce or not use inhaled anesthetics. However, inhaled anesthetics have been widely used in clinical practice and are an important complementary drug to intravenous anesthetics, and are irreplaceable.
[0004] In view of the fact that even if anesthesia machines are equipped with complete cleaning systems and anesthesia tail gas treatment systems, anesthesiologists will inevitably inhale leakage problems such as sevoflurane, which is unique to the subspecialty of anesthesia. In addition to purifying the air in the operating room environment through mechanical equipment, medical staff can directly reduce the inhalation of anesthesia tail gas by wearing protective equipment. Medical staff can strengthen their own protection and reduce occupational exposure by wearing special protective masks. However, there is no mask specifically used for anti-anesthesia tail gas in the prior art. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a medical anti-ether surgical mask. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a medical ether-proof surgical mask to solve the problem of anesthesia tail gas exposure for anesthesiologists.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a medical ether-proof surgical mask, wherein an ether-philic resin layer is arranged in the mask interlayer.
[0007] The preparation of the ether-affinity resin layer comprises the following steps:
[0008] S1. Pretreatment: The macroporous resin is immersed in a 99.7% ethanol solution for 8 to 12 hours to remove surface impurities, and then vacuum dried at 50 to 100° C. for 3 to 6 hours to obtain the original resin.
[0009] S2. Functional group implantation: The original resin in step S1 is immersed in 0.1-5 mol / L fluorine-containing acid, the volume ratio of the original resin to the fluorine-containing acid is 1:3, and the immersion time is 6-12 hours. After the immersion is completed, it is washed with deionized water or acetone until it is neutral, and then the resin is vacuum dried at 50-100° C. for 3-6 hours to obtain a fluorine-containing resin.
[0010] S3, plasma modification: the fluorine-containing resin in step S2 is placed in a wire tube plasma reactor, and the modification process is excited by a nanosecond pulse power supply, the discharge treatment time is 2 to 15 minutes, the pulse peak voltage is 22 to 28 kV, the pulse repetition frequency is 100 to 200 Hz, and the working gas is one of nitrogen, oxygen, and ammonia or a mixture of two or more to obtain a new ether-philic resin material.
[0011] S4, putting the new ether-affinity resin material between the two layers of meltblown cloth 2 and 4 inside and outside the mask to obtain an ether-affinity resin layer.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the medical ether-proof surgical mask has a main body composed of: the first layer is a hydrophobic protective layer, the second layer is an outer melt-blown layer, the third layer is an ether-philic resin layer, the fourth layer is an inner melt-blown layer, and the fifth layer is a skin-friendly layer.
[0013] That is to say, the present invention adheres the new ether-philic resin material in a particle state to the inner layer of the N95 standard medical protective mask.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the mass of the new ether-philic resin material is 500-800 mg.
[0015] In addition, the fluorine-containing acid of the present invention refers to hydrofluoric acid, fluorosulfuric acid; or other fluorine-containing substances, such as one or more of trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane, perfluorooctanoic acid, ethoxycarbonyldifluoromethyl, and tridecafluorooctyltrimethoxysilane.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0017] The present invention adopts a newly developed ether-affinity adsorption resin material, which has a super large adsorption capacity and a high affinity for mixed gases containing fluorine groups such as sevoflurane and toxic compounds produced by sevoflurane and soda lime. The special type of medical ether-proof surgical mask obtained by adding ether-affinity adsorption resin to the medical mask of N95 standard is the last line of defense for self-protection of anesthesiologists who are in close contact with inhaled anesthetics. In an operating room equipped with a complete anesthesia tail gas removal system and a purification treatment system, the anesthesia tail gas pollution is only at the ppm level, mainly concentrated between the breathing circuit of the anesthesia machine and the patient's airway, so that the anesthesiologists who are in close contact will inevitably inhale the respiratory tract. The existing medical surgical mask (national standard YY0469--2011) is the mainstream protective equipment worn by medical staff in the operating room. It is mainly used to prevent splashing and plays a physical barrier role. It belongs to the first-level protective equipment. Since it does not require tightness, it does not have the self-priming and filtering anti-ether function. Medical protective masks with N95 standards for protection level 2 or above can filter more than 95% of non-oily particles. The carriers of bacteria and viruses are non-oily particles in nature, but they have no filtering effect on macromolecular gases. According to tests, under the specified air flow conditions, the ether-proof mask of the present invention can filter out up to 99% of macromolecular substances such as sevoflurane, achieving the best protective effect.
