For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0032] Tracheostomy surgery is an important measure to rescue critical patients, but it also weakens the defense function of the airway to some extent, leading to the occurrence of related complications. Due to lung infection or increased secretion, the sputum discharged by the patient through the tracheal cannula will also increase. Excessive sputum discharge will make the dressing of the patient's tracheostomy wet, which not only brings discomfort to the patient, but also increases the risk of infection and skin damage. Coughing and expectoration caused by lung infection not only harm the patient himself, but also pose a potential pollution to the surrounding environment of the patient. The bacteria and pollutants discharged by the patient through the tracheal cannula by coughing and expectoration can pollute the patient's surrounding environment, which may cause cross infection of caregivers, medical staff or other patients.
[0033] In summary, sputum needs to be cleaned in time.
[0034] In clinical practice, nurses will clean the sputum of patients through sputum suction and subglottic suction, or guide patients to use disposable water-proof materials to isolate sputum from skin and tracheostomy dressing, or guide family members to use paper towels to wipe sputum after coughing. However, due to the relatively complicated and long course of the disease of patients with tracheostomy combined with lung infection, the above-mentioned treatment methods are high in cost and inconvenient. Specifically, the patient produces a large amount of sputum immediately after the nurse finishes suctioning sputum for the patient, but the clinical nurse is busy and may not be able to clean the sputum and secretions immediately every time. Disposable water-proof materials and paper towels cannot be reused and are high in cost.
[0035] Especially for patients who have been in bed for a long time, when the patient is in a left or right lateral position, sputum is easily flowed to both sides due to the action of gravity, and the collection and cleaning of sputum are more inconvenient.
[0036] The utility model provides a kind of tracheostomy postoperative protective apron, the position of pocket bag can be rotated, the opening direction of pocket bag is changed, the opening direction of pocket bag is always upwards, to ensure that sputum of patient in different body position can still flow into pocket bag along gravity.
[0037] Reference is made below to Figures 1-3 The tracheostomy postoperative protective apron 100 according to the embodiments of the utility model is described.
[0038] Embodiment one
[0039] As shown in Figure 1 And Figure 2 The tracheostomy postoperative protective apron 100 according to the embodiments of the utility model is described.
[0040] The dolly body 1 is fixedly connected with the neck warmer 2, and the position of the dolly body 1 relative to the patient is fixed. The dolly bag 3 can rotate relative to the dolly body 1, and when the patient needs to change the lying position, the family member or the patient rotates the dolly bag 3 to make the opening of the dolly bag 3 upward, so as to avoid that the opening of the dolly bag 3 is downward or the dolly bag 3 is inclined to spill the liquid in the dolly bag 3.
[0041] The rotating connection device 4 herein can adopt a rotating snap structure, which includes a male buckle and a female buckle, one of which is arranged on the dolly bag 3 and the other of which is arranged on the dolly body 1, and the two are buckled and can rotate relative to each other. The dolly bag 3 rotates relative to the dolly body 1 with the rotating connection device 4 as the center, so that the opening of the dolly bag 3 is upward or the dolly bag 3 is parallel to the ground, and the opening of the dolly bag 3 is located directly below the tracheal cannula, so as to ensure that the sputum of the patient in different body positions can still flow into the dolly bag under the action of gravity.
[0042] In a specific application scenario, the neck warmer 2 can be fixed at the neck of the patient, the through hole 20 on the neck warmer 2 corresponds to the position of the tracheostomy of the patient, so as to avoid interference between the neck warmer 2 and the tracheal cannula, and the neck warmer 2 can block the sputum from infiltrating the skin and the tracheostomy dressing. In clinical practice, many tracheostomy patients need to be treated with atomization, and the neck warmer 2 can also cover the tracheostomy, so as to avoid the residual of hormone drugs on the tracheal cannula, gauze, foam dressing or fixing belt 22, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial infection. The dolly body 1 is located on the chest and abdomen of the patient, so as to avoid that the sputum, drugs and other liquids wet or contaminate the clothes, and the sputum flows into the dolly bag 3 along the surface of the dolly body 1 under the action of gravity. When the patient moves or changes the lying position, the dolly bag 3 is rotated and the position of the dolly bag 3 is adjusted, so that the opening of the dolly bag 3 is upward.
[0043] It can be seen from the technical scheme that the embodiments provided by the utility model have the following advantages: (1) the neck warmer 2 can be fixed at the neck of the patient, the through hole 20 on the neck warmer 2 corresponds to the position of the tracheostomy of the patient, so as to avoid interference between the neck warmer 2 and the tracheal cannula, and the neck warmer 2 can block the sputum from infiltrating the skin and the tracheostomy dressing. (2) the dolly body 1 is located on the chest and abdomen of the patient, so as to avoid that the sputum, drugs and other liquids wet or contaminate the clothes, and the sputum flows into the dolly bag 3 along the surface of the dolly body 1 under the action of gravity. (3) when the patient moves or changes the lying position, the dolly bag 3 is rotated and the position of the dolly bag 3 is adjusted, so that the opening of the dolly bag 3 is upward, so as to avoid that the opening of the dolly bag 3 is downward or the dolly bag 3 is inclined to spill the liquid in the dolly bag 3.
[0044] In some specific examples, the diameter of the through hole 20 is 1.5 cm.
[0045] As Figure 1As shown, further, the pocket 3 comprises a first panel 31 and a second panel 32 connected, and the upper edge of the second panel 32 is spaced apart from the first panel 31 to form an opening. The apron body 1 is connected to the first panel 31. In the front-rear direction, the apron body 1 is located between the first panel 31 and the second panel 32. That is to say, the left edge of the second panel 32, the right edge of the second panel 32, and the lower edge of the second panel 32 are all fixed on the first panel 31, the upper edge of the second panel 32 is spaced apart from the first panel 31 and forms an opening, and the apron body 1 is connected to the first panel 31 through the rotating connecting device 4 and is located between the first panel 31 and the second panel 32. By rotating the angle of the pocket 3, the apron body 1 can be located directly above the opening, and the pocket 3 can more accurately receive the liquid flowing down the surface of the apron body 1, thereby avoiding pollution to the environment.
[0046] As shown in Figure 1 , further, the opening is long-strip-shaped and has a length L1, and the length of the connecting line between any two points on the apron body 1 is L2, wherein L1≥L2. That is to say, the span of the opening is large enough to receive the liquid flowing down from the apron body 1, thereby avoiding pollution to the environment.
[0047] As shown in Figure 1 , further, the first panel 31 is located at the rear side of the apron body 1, and the upper edge of the first panel 31 is configured as an arc shape protruding away from the rotating connecting device 4. On the one hand, the area of the first panel 31 can be increased, the covering area of the protective apron 100 after tracheostomy can be increased, and the connection between the apron body 1 and the first panel 31 is more closely connected; on the other hand, compared with the second panel 32, the first panel 31 is more closely attached to the patient's body, and by configuring the upper edge of the first panel 31 as an arc shape, the patient can be injured during the rotation of the pocket 3.
[0048] As shown in Figure 2 , further, the edge intersection of the first panel 31 is configured as a round corner to avoid edges and reduce pressure injuries caused by the protective apron 100 after tracheostomy.
[0049] Embodiment Two
[0050] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present embodiment is basically the same as embodiment one, the difference is that the present embodiment provides a protective apron 100 after tracheostomy, the neck cover 2 comprises an integrated blocking part 21 and a fixing belt 22, a through hole 20 is formed on the blocking part 21, and the blocking part 21 is connected to the apron body 1. In the direction from the blocking part 21 to the apron body 1, the width of the blocking part 21 gradually decreases. The width change of the blocking part 21 is more in line with the body structure of a person, that is, the neck to the chest is wider, which is conducive to reducing wrinkles on the blocking part 21 and improving the protection effect.
[0051] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the length of the fixing belt 22 can be adjusted, suitable for patients with different neck circumferences. Specifically, the fixing belt 22 is two, one end of each fixing belt 22 is fixed on the enclosure 21, and the other end of the fixing belt 22 is provided with at least two buckles 6 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the fixing belt 22. For example, the total length of the fixing belt 22 is 40 cm, and the interval between the adjacent two buckles 6 is 2 cm.
[0052] Embodiment three
[0053] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 The embodiment is basically the same as embodiment one, the difference is that the post-tracheostomy protective bib 100 further comprises a mask 5, the mask 5 can cover the through hole 20, the mask 5 is detachably connected to the neck warmer 2, a plurality of exhaust holes 51 are arranged around the through hole 20 on the mask 5, the diameter of the exhaust hole 51 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 20, and the exhaust hole 51 is in communication with the through hole 20. That is to say, the circumferential edge of the mask 5 abuts against the neck warmer 2, and the mask 5 and the neck warmer 2 form a communication space in communication with the through hole 20, and a plurality of exhaust holes 51 are arranged on the mask 5, and the exhaust holes 51 are also in communication with the communication space. After tracheostomy, the tracheal cannula is left at the tracheostomy site, the patient wears the mask 5 and protects the exposed components of the tracheal cannula, and the patient breathes through the exhaust holes 51. When the patient coughs, sputum is sprayed out of the tracheal cannula, if the exhaust hole 51 is opened on the front of the tracheal cannula (i.e. the exhaust hole 51 is arranged opposite to the through hole 20), the pathogenic bacteria carried in the sputum will fall into the surrounding environment from the front exhaust hole, which is easy to cause contact transmission. Therefore, the exhaust hole 51 is arranged around the through hole 20 instead of being arranged opposite to the through hole 20, which is conducive to reducing the spraying of sputum and reducing the pollution to the environment, and improving the convenience.
[0054] The mask 5 is a detachable device, when the patient is treated by atomization, the mask 5 is detached, the neck warmer 2 protects the exposed components of the tracheal cannula and the wound dressing, so that the medicine falls on the washable neck warmer 2, avoiding the hormone medicine falling on the exposed components of the tracheal cannula and the wound dressing, thereby reducing the breeding of bacteria and fungi.
[0055] It needs to be further explained that the mask 5 will block the flow and spraying of sputum, at the same time, the sputum is temporarily stored between the mask 5 and the neck warmer 22; when the sputum accumulates to a certain extent, the sputum needs to be cleaned, the mask 5 is detached from the neck warmer 22, and the sputum flows into the bib bag 3 along the bib body 1. In this way, the use of disposable consumables such as paper towels can be reduced, which is more economical for patients.
[0056] As Figure 1 and Figure 3Further, the neck warmer 2 is connected with the mask 5 through the snap fastener 6. The left and right sides of the mask 5 are respectively provided with a first snap fastener, and the neck warmer 2 is provided with a second snap fastener matched with the first snap fastener 6. The snap fastener 6 is more convenient to disassemble and assemble, and has lower cost.
[0057] Further, the mask 5 is made of silica gel material. The mask 5 can be cleaned and repeatedly used, and is suitable for patients with long disease course. Especially, after the mask 5 is disassembled from the neck warmer 22, the sputum flows into the bag 3 along the body 1, and at the same time, the family member can take the mask 5 to wash and disinfect; after the sputum is cleaned, the mask 5 is installed on the neck warmer 22.
[0058] Further, the mask 5 is made of transparent material, which is beneficial to observe the recovery of the incision and the accumulation of sputum of the patient, and is more convenient to judge the cleaning time and frequency.
[0059] It should be emphasized that the air-cut post-protection neck warmer 100 is different from the traditional neck warmer. The neck warmer 2 has a through hole 20 to pass the tracheal cannula, and the neck warmer 2 fully surrounds the air-cut incision, which can effectively isolate the water vapor during the atomization treatment. The bag 3 is rotatably arranged, so that the opening of the bag 3 faces upward, and even if the patient is in a left lateral decubitus position, a right lateral decubitus position or other body position, the bag 3 can be adjusted to be parallel to the ground, so that the sputum flows into the bag 3 when flowing downward, and the effectiveness of isolating the sputum from the skin and clothes is improved; in front of the air-cut incision, there is a transparent curved mask 5 made of silica gel, which is fixed on the neck warmer 2 by the snap fastener 6, and two rows of air holes 51 are left on the side to ensure gas exchange and can be removed at any time; in addition, the design utilizes the advantage of silica gel that is easy to clean to realize the function of repeatedly using the neck warmer, and the neck warmer can be cleaned, dried and disinfected for continuous use, and the cost is also low, which is more affordable than disposable products, and the product has the advantages of good quality and low price.
[0060] The other components and operations of the air-cut post-protection neck warmer 100 according to the embodiments of the present application are known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. In the description of the present application, the "first feature" and the "second feature" can include one or more features. Among them, the up-down direction, the left-right direction and the front-rear direction are based on the up-down direction, the left-right direction and the front-rear direction shown in the figure.
