[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this specification, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this specification are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this specification, when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component present. When a component is considered to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or there may be an intervening component present.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides an oxygen inhalation and pressure injury prevention device, which includes an ear root pad 1, one side of which conforms to the shape of a person's ear root; a catheter sleeve 2, which is installed on the other side of the ear root pad 1. The catheter sleeve 2 has a hollow structure, and through holes are opened at both ends of the catheter sleeve 2. A through slit 21 is opened on the side of the catheter sleeve 2 away from the ear root pad 1.

[0031] Specifically, the ear pad 1 in this device conforms to the shape of the patient's ear root, adhering tightly to the ear root and preventing it from easily falling off when subjected to pressure from the mask ear loops or oxygen tubing. The pressure is distributed throughout the ear root, resulting in a large force-bearing area and small pressure per unit area in different parts of the ear root. Therefore, it provides a certain degree of protection for the patient's ear root, preventing pressure marks. During use, the oxygen tubing is inserted into the catheter sleeve 2 through the through-slit 21. The catheter sleeve 2 provides a certain degree of protection and fixation for the oxygen tubing. This device has a simple structure, protects the patient's ear root, and avoids the ear loops or oxygen tubing from compressing the patient's ear root, increasing the patient's comfort during treatment.

[0032] In some possible implementations, the ear root pad 1 includes a skin contact layer 11, a sponge layer 12, and a connecting layer 13. The skin contact layer 11 is in contact with the ear root of a person. The sponge layer 12 is installed on the side of the skin contact layer 11 away from the ear. The connecting layer 13 is installed on the side of the sponge layer 12 away from the skin contact layer 11. The catheter sleeve 2 is installed on the side of the connecting layer 13 away from the skin contact layer 11.

[0033] Specifically, the skin contact layer 11 is in contact with the patient's skin and is made of skin-friendly material to prevent the patient's skin from experiencing allergic reactions. The sponge layer 12 is softer and disperses the pressure of the oxygen tube or oxygen mask ear loop. The connecting layer 13 connects the ear root pad 1 body and the catheter sleeve 2. The three layers further reduce the pressure of the oxygen tube or oxygen mask ear loop on the patient's ear root while improving comfort.

[0034] In some possible implementations, the side of the skin contact layer 11 that comes into contact with the ear is provided with adhesive.

[0035] Specifically, the skin contact surface of the ear pad is connected to the patient's ear root through adhesive, further improving its fit and preventing accidental fall-off. The adhesive is skin-safe and will not damage the patient's skin.

[0036] In some possible implementations, the end of the catheter sleeve 2 near the nose is bent and opens toward the face, and the inside of the catheter sleeve 2 is provided with adhesive.

[0037] Specifically, the catheter sleeve 2 has a curved tube facing the patient's face, and the oxygen tube can follow the curve to the patient's nose. The turn is smoother and will not cause the oxygen tube to break or stop. The adhesive inside the catheter sleeve 2 is used to bond and fix the oxygen tube or mask ear loop to prevent the oxygen tube or mask ear loop from shifting or slipping out of the catheter sleeve 2.

[0038] In some possible implementations, one side of the through-slit 21 of the conduit sleeve 2 is connected to a hook and loop fastener 22, and the other side of the through-slit 21 of the conduit sleeve 2 is fitted with a hook and loop fastener 23 that is compatible with the hook and loop fastener 22.

[0039] Specifically, the through-slit 21 of the catheter sleeve 2 is provided with Velcro strips 22 and Velcro hook strips 23 on both sides. When the ear loop of the oxygen tube or oxygen mask is put into the catheter sleeve 2 through the through-slit 21, the Velcro strips 22 are attached to the Velcro hook strips 23 to temporarily close the through-slit 21 and further fix the ear loop of the oxygen tube or oxygen mask.

[0040] In some possible implementations, the catheter sleeve 2 is made of latex.

[0041] Specifically, the latex material combines softness with a certain degree of hardness, so it will not be deformed by the ear loops of the oxygen tubing or oxygen mask. At the same time, it protects the oxygen tubing and prevents deformation of the tubing caused by deformation of the catheter sleeve 2, which would affect the patient's oxygen intake.

[0042] In some possible implementations, there are two sets of ear root pads 1 and cannula sleeves 2, located on the left and right ears of a person respectively. Each cannula sleeve has a connecting strap 3 connected to one end near the nose, and the other ends of the two connecting straps 3 are connected to a nose pad 4 at the nose.

[0043] Specifically, when a patient wears an oxygen mask, not only will the ear loops cause pressure injuries to the patient's ears, but the contact points between the oxygen mask and the patient's nasal root and nasal wings will also cause pressure injuries to the patient's nasal root and nasal wings. Two sets of catheter sleeves 2 are each connected to a connecting strap 3, and the two connecting straps 3 are then connected to a nasal pad 4. The nasal pad 4 is placed on the patient's nasal root and nasal wings to protect the patient's nasal root and nasal wings.

[0044] In some possible embodiments, the nose pad 4 includes a nose wing fitting surface 41 and a mask fitting surface 42, which are fitted together. The nose wing fitting surface 41 is rectangular and has semi-circular ends. The mask fitting surface 42 has a groove on the side away from the nose wing fitting surface 41. Adhesive is provided on the side of the nose wing fitting surface 41 that is close to the nose wing.

[0045] Specifically, the nasal wing fitting surface 41 fits into the patient's nasal root and nasal wing, and the mask fitting surface 42 is made for the oxygen mask. The long side of the rectangular nasal wing fitting surface 41 extends horizontally from one side of the patient's nasal wing to the other side. The semi-circular ends of the nasal wing fitting surface 41 fit the patient's nasal wing more closely. The mask fitting surface 42 and the nasal wing fitting surface 41 have the same shape. The groove on the upper part of the mask fitting surface 42, which extends horizontally along its length, is used to engage the oxygen mask with the contact point between the oxygen mask and the patient's nasal root and nasal wing. The nasal wing fitting surface 41 has a larger contact area with the patient, which disperses the pressure of the oxygen mask on the patient's nasal root, protects the patient's nasal root and nasal wing, and prevents pressure injury.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the face mask contact surface 42 is made of latex material, and the nose wing contact surface 41 is made of skin-friendly material.

[0047] Specifically, when the nose pad 4 is placed on the patient's nose, it needs to fit the patient's nostrils, so it needs to be bent. The latex material is malleable and can be bent according to the patient's nose shape. The nostril fitting surface 41 is made of skin-friendly material to avoid skin allergies from prolonged wear.
