[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 7The figures show different structural schematic diagrams of the anti-splash bronchoscope mask of this utility model. As can be seen from the figures, the anti-splash bronchoscope mask of this utility model includes a mask body 1, and also includes: a protective goggle 4 set on the upper part of the mask body for preventing splashing and reducing patient panic; a nasal bronchoscope insertion hole 5 set on the mask body and below the protective goggle for selective insertion of the bronchoscope during bronchoscopy; an oral bronchoscope insertion hole 7 set on the mask body and below the nasal bronchoscope insertion hole for selective insertion of the bronchoscope during bronchoscopy; and suction catheter insertion holes 6 set on the mask body and on one or both sides of the oral bronchoscope insertion hole for inserting a suction catheter during bronchoscopy.
[0029] Specifically, the main body 1 of this utility model of the face mask includes a frame and a protective cover that is fastened to the upper surface of the frame and seamlessly connected thereto. The frame and the protective cover can be integrally molded from the same material, or they can be molded separately from different materials and then fixed together by means of gluing or other methods. During manufacturing, the size of the main body of this utility model of the face mask should be able to cover the entire face of the patient, and the shape of the main body of the face mask can refer to the structure of existing face masks.
[0030] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the frame of the mask body is a shell with a certain height. The surface that comes into contact with the patient's skin (also known as the lower surface) can be a curved or arc-shaped surface to allow it to fit naturally against the patient's face. Furthermore, a deformable covering material, such as a sponge, can be fixed to the lower surface of the frame by means of adhesive, so that the mask body can fit tightly against the facial skin.
[0031] The protective cover is also made of transparent material, and it forms a certain groove 1a with the lower surface of the frame so that there is a certain distance between the skin and the protective cover after the patient puts on the mask body, which facilitates the operator to perform operations such as intubation.
[0032] The protective cover has several holes, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple exhaust holes 3 are provided on the upper part of the protective cover. The number of exhaust holes can be determined according to the actual situation, and the exhaust holes can be circular, square, or other shapes. Carbon dioxide gas expelled into the mask body during the patient's breathing is discharged through the exhaust holes.
[0033] To prevent eye discomfort and even infection caused by water droplets from rinsing the bronchoscope during bronchoscopy getting into the patient's eyes, and to reduce patient anxiety during the procedure, making the bronchoscopy experience more comfortable, this invention includes a protective goggle at the top of the protective cover. This goggle can be either a goggle or a protective film. During manufacturing, a goggle hole can be provided below the exhaust vent of the protective cover, and the goggle can be fixed to this hole using snap-fit or adhesive methods, with its edges sealed to the protective cover. The goggle can be black and have several light-transmitting holes, which can be mesh holes or multiple small circular or square through-holes. Alternatively, the protective cover can be without a goggle hole, and a black protective film with light-transmitting holes can be adhered to the inner surface of the protective cover at the corresponding location.
[0034] To enable medical staff to insert the bronchoscope into the patient's nose or mouth during bronchoscopy, depending on the patient's specific situation, this invention features a nasal bronchoscope insertion port in the middle of the mask body and an oral bronchoscope insertion port below the nasal bronchoscope insertion port. This allows operators to choose between nasal or oral insertion, making the examination more convenient. It also allows patients with special circumstances (such as those who cannot undergo nasal bronchoscopy due to nasal surgery) to successfully complete bronchoscopy through oral insertion, thus broadening the range of patients to be treated.
[0035] Both the nasal and oral bronchoscope insertion ports are equipped with openable and closable valves (which can adopt the valve structure commonly used in existing medical devices). When the bronchoscope tubing is inserted through the corresponding insertion port, it will pass through the valve and extend into the nostril or oral cavity. The valve will cover the bronchoscope tubing to prevent splashes from the oral cavity or nasal cavity during the examination.
[0036] Furthermore, to prevent patients from biting the bronchoscope tubing during oral insertion and thus hindering successful insertion, this invention also includes an anti-biting nozzle installed on the mask body at the oral bronchoscope insertion port. This anti-biting nozzle can be made using, for example... Figure 4 The structure shown includes a bite-proof mouthpiece body 11 and a bite-proof mouthpiece connector 10 that is seamlessly connected to the bite-proof mouthpiece body. The bite-proof mouthpiece connector can be circular, elongated, or other shapes.
[0037] During the design process, an anti-bite mouthpiece seat 8, with a shape and size adapted to the anti-bite mouthpiece connector, can be installed at the bronchoscope insertion port of the mask body. The anti-bite mouthpiece connector and the anti-bite mouthpiece seat are detachably connected. For example, the anti-bite mouthpiece seat can be provided with an annular groove, into which the anti-bite mouthpiece connector is inserted and locked. Alternatively, the two can be detachably connected using other methods available in the prior art. This detachable connection allows the operator to determine whether the anti-bite mouthpiece needs to be placed on the mask body based on the actual situation. For instance, an anti-bite mouthpiece is not needed when using nasal insertion, nor when using oral insertion.
[0038] In addition, this utility model also provides suction catheter insertion holes on one or both sides of the bronchoscopy insertion hole at the mouth on the mask body for inserting a suction catheter during bronchoscopy (e.g., Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, a suction catheter insertion port is provided on one side of the bronchoscope insertion port at the mouth. Furthermore, a suction catheter guide tube extending towards the inside of the mask body is provided at the suction catheter insertion port, wherein, as... Figure 6 As shown, the suction guide tube includes a suction connector 12 and a guide tube 13. The suction connector is fixedly connected to the mask body, such as by adhesive or integral molding. The inlet hole of the suction catheter insertion port can also be provided with an openable valve. The suction catheter connected to the negative pressure suction device can be inserted into the suction guide tube from the outside through the opening and closing part of the valve, and can even be inserted into the patient's mouth.
[0039] Whether the endoscope is inserted through the nose or mouth, the suction guide tube and suction catheter can be placed in the patient's mouth. This is because patients will continuously secrete oral mucus during the examination. Nasal insertion can cause nausea and discomfort as it reaches the epiglottis, and oral insertion can also cause nausea and discomfort, leading to expectoration of sputum. The suction guide tube and suction catheter prevent the expectorated sputum from splashing and directly suction it away.
[0040] In addition, this utility model also provides an oxygen tube connection structure on the mask body, which can be located on the side of the nasal bronchoscope insertion port (not shown in the figure) or on the side of the oral bronchoscope insertion port (e.g., Figure 1 As shown, located on one side of the bronchoscope insertion port at the mouth, the oxygen tube connection structure can be an oxygen tube insertion port opened on the mask body (e.g., Figure 1As shown, the insertion hole can be equipped with an openable valve, or it can be an oxygen tube connector fixedly installed on the mask body for connecting the oxygen tube. The oxygen tube is connected to the oxygen tube of the external oxygen supply device through the oxygen tube insertion hole or the oxygen tube connector, so that oxygen is delivered to the inside of the mask through the oxygen tube. This can reduce the occurrence of complications such as bleeding and cardiovascular accidents in patients. Sufficient oxygen supply can ensure ventilation for patients and maintain stable vital signs.
[0041] In addition, the upper part of the mask body is provided with a head-fixing strap for securing it to the upper side of the patient's head. This head-fixing strap may be a pair of elastic bands 12 for fitting the mask body over the patient's ears (see...). Figure 7 The mask body can be secured to the patient's face by a pair of elastic bands so that it will not come loose during the examination and affect the examination. Alternatively, the securing band can be an elastic band 2 for placing the mask body over the patient's head.
[0042] Furthermore, a neck strap 15 can be provided at the lower part of the mask body to secure it to the patient's neck. In conjunction with the head strap, the mask body can be firmly fixed to the patient's face, effectively preventing any splashes generated during the bronchoscopy examination. This not only protects the patient and reduces the chance of infection, but also provides physical protection for medical staff.
[0043] This novel specialized face mask covers the patient's entire face, is easy to wear, highly comfortable, and has excellent airtightness. It effectively improves airway management, simplifies bronchoscopy procedures, reduces the risk of infection for healthcare workers, and ensures their health, resulting in a more comfortable bronchoscopy experience for patients. The black, mesh-perforated eye protection on the upper part of the mask prevents eye discomfort and potential infection from water droplets from rinsing the bronchoscope during the procedure, and also reduces patient anxiety, enhancing the overall comfort of the bronchoscopy experience. The nasal and oral bronchoscope insertion ports on the mask allow healthcare workers to choose either port for insertion, making the procedure more convenient and suitable for both the operator and the patient. It has a wide range of functions; the detachable anti-bite mouthpiece on the mask body can prevent patients from biting the bronchoscope tube when it is inserted through the mouth, thus preventing medical staff from being unable to perform the bronchoscopy smoothly. This ensures the smoothness of the examination and reduces the threat to the patient's life (because bronchoscopy uses electronic fiber endoscopes, which have many small parts. If the endoscope is bitten, the parts will fall apart, and if swallowed by the patient, it will affect the patient's body and may even be life-threatening). The entire mask integrates the functions of endoscope insertion, sputum suction, and oxygen supply. During bronchoscopy, the endoscopy operation, sputum suction operation, and oxygen supply operation can be performed simultaneously without conflict. This makes the operation smoother for endoscopists and nurses and reduces the occurrence of complications such as bleeding and cardiovascular accidents. Sufficient oxygen supply can ensure the patient's ventilation and maintain stable vital signs, making the patient more tolerant and satisfied during the examination. It can also allow patients to comfortably complete the painless bronchoscopy in a sleep state after anesthesia.
[0044] Although the present invention has been described in detail above, it is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make modifications based on the principles of the present invention. Therefore, all modifications made in accordance with the principles of the present invention should be understood as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
