[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oral cavity detection, in particular to a device for detecting the cleanliness of the oral cavity of a patient with endotracheal intubation. Background Art

[0002] During the nursing process, patients with endotracheal intubation should undergo regular oral hygiene. Testing the patient's oral cleanliness can effectively prevent iatrogenic injury and infection, reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, maintain the patient's basic physiological function and comfort, and ensure management effects.

[0003] During the oral cleanliness test, since the patient wears a dental pad to protect the catheter and bites the teeth on the dental pad, it is inconvenient to check the dental plaque on the patient's tooth surface and the tartar in the teeth. Dental plaque or food residue on the tooth surface can easily cause infection. In addition, due to the obstruction of the dental pad and the catheter, medical staff can easily touch the patient's catheter when collecting tissue on the surface of the patient's tongue, causing damage to the patient. When the patient is wearing a catheter, it is easy to cause dryness in the patient's mouth and reduced saliva, which not only makes the patient feel strongly thirsty and affects the patient's comfort, but also easily breeds bacteria and fungi. Therefore, we propose an oral cleanliness detection device for patients with endotracheal intubation. Summary of the Invention
