Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a tongue prolapse corrector. Background Art

[0002] Glossoplakia refers to a clinical condition in which the tongue falls back into the pharynx due to decreased muscle tone. Glossoplakia is extremely harmful and can block the respiratory tract and cause hypoxia. It can cause negative pressure in the chest cavity and may cause arrhythmia. It can also lead to aspiration. Glossoplakia is usually seen in cases of deep anesthesia, coma, shock, post-traumatic syncope, and drunkenness. At the same time, if there are symptoms such as generalized muscle weakness or benign hypertrophy of the tongue, glossoplakia is also prone to occur. If general anesthesia is used for surgery, a trachea is usually inserted to maintain breathing in order to avoid glossoplakia. If glossoplakia occurs in cases of coma, shock, or post-traumatic syncope, the tongue needs to be pulled out of the mouth to avoid blocking the airway.

[0003] There are three commonly used methods to prevent tongue prolapse in patients. One is to support the lower jaw. The anesthesiologist needs to lift the lower jaw with both hands or use a bracket to lift the lower jaw. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and increases the workload of medical staff. Another method is to place an oral or nasopharyngeal airway. The third is endotracheal intubation. Both of these methods are very irritating to the patient and can easily cause complications such as nausea, vomiting, and laryngeal spasm. They will cause great discomfort to the patient and there is a problem that the tube is easy to fall off during the operation. Summary of the invention
