Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tracheostomy patient collection devices, specifically a device for collecting oral and nasal secretions from tracheostomy patients with dysphagia. Background Technology
[0002] The Department of Respiratory Medicine includes diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and bronchiectasis. During treatment, some patients require tracheotomy. Tracheotomy involves cutting open the cervical trachea and inserting a metal tracheostomy tube or a silicone tracheostomy tube. It is a common surgical procedure to relieve respiratory distress caused by laryngeal dyspnea, respiratory dysfunction, or lower respiratory tract secretion retention.
[0003] After a tracheotomy, patients are fitted with a breathing tube in their throat, making it impossible for them to breathe independently through their mouth and nose. Weak nasal muscles also prevent effective drainage of nasal secretions, requiring medical staff to manually open the nasal cavity for cleaning. This process is quite cumbersome. Cleaning the oral cavity also requires opening the patient's mouth, but the facial and laryngeal muscles are interconnected, making the process uncomfortable for the patient. Furthermore, if secretions are not cleared promptly, they can easily leak out, further complicating the process. Therefore, we propose a nasal and oral secretion collection device for tracheotomy patients with swallowing difficulties. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for collecting oral and nasal secretions in tracheostomized patients with dysphagia, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a device for collecting nasal and oral secretions in tracheostomized patients with dysphagia. The device includes a protective face shield, a collection bottle mounted on the bottom side of one side of the face shield, two nasal tubes extending through the bottom side of the face shield, a nasal support mounted on the outer side of the top of each nasal tube, a collection element at the top of each nasal tube, an installation plate mounted on one side inside the face shield, a squeezing plate symmetrically and slidably embedded inside the installation plate, a telescopic element between the installation plate and the squeezing plate, a saliva tube extending through the middle of the inner side of the installation plate, an expanding sponge mounted at one end of each saliva tube, rotating elements mounted on both sides of each saliva tube, a baffle mounted on the outer side of each saliva tube, and a contact element on one side of each baffle.
[0006] In some embodiments, the collection device includes a blocking ball mounted on the outside of the top of the nasal tube, and an absorbent sponge mounted on the top of the nasal tube.
[0007] In some embodiments, a blocking ball is slidably mounted inside the nose support, and the top of the nasal cannula is slidably mounted inside the protective mask.
[0008] In some embodiments, the telescopic component includes telescopic springs installed at the four corners inside the mounting plate, and one side of the compression plate is connected to the telescopic springs.
[0009] In some embodiments, the rotating component includes a rotating frame rotatably mounted inside one side of the mounting plate, one end of which is slidably mounted on both sides of the saliva tube.
[0010] In some embodiments, one side of the squeezing plate abuts against the other end of the rotating frame, and one end of the saliva tube is installed through and attached to one side of the collection bottle.
[0011] In some embodiments, the contact element includes a rubber block mounted on one side of the baffle.
[0012] In some embodiments, the rubber block has rounded edges, and the rubber block is a detachable component.
[0013] This invention has at least the following beneficial effects: By inserting the nasal support into the nasal cavity and then moving the blocking bulb into the nasal support in conjunction with the nasal saliva tube, the diameter of the nasal support is expanded, providing support for the nasal cavity and allowing the nasal fluid to flow out more smoothly. At the same time, the absorbent sponge is inserted into the nasal cavity, which can carry the nasal fluid into the collection bottle along the nasal saliva tube. The baffle squeezes one end of the telescopic spring and the rotating frame inward through the squeezing plate, and the other end of the rotating frame drives the saliva tube and the expanding sponge into the patient's oral cavity, thereby cleaning the patient's oral cavity. Oral secretions flow into the other side of the collection bottle along the saliva tube, making it easier to collect the patient's oral secretions. The cleaning process is simpler and more convenient. At the same time, both the saliva tube and the expanding sponge are made of soft materials, so that the patient does not feel any foreign body sensation when wearing and using the device.
