Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology and provides a newborn nasal plug mask. Background Technology

[0002] For newborns under 28 days old with poor respiratory function, non-invasive ventilator-assisted breathing is required. Nasal mask is generally chosen because it provides more oxygen than oral-nasal mask, which is beneficial for the newborn's recovery. To prevent gastric reflux, the newborn needs to be kept in a quiet lying position with the head elevated and feet lower, and the bed surface is raised at an angle of 30 degrees. The existing ventilator tubing is used in conjunction with a generator, nasal plug, nasal mask, and head cover. Usually, after fixing the generator and nasal plug, the generator is fixed to the newborn's head with the generator facing upwards, and the end is connected to the ventilator tubing.

[0003] This fixation method causes nasal congestion to exert upward pressure on the newborn's nose, easily compressing the nasal septum and causing the nose to turn upside down. Severe compression can lead to irreversible conditions such as nasal septum necrosis. Although artificial skin is currently used to reduce the pressure of nasal congestion on the newborn's nose, pressure injury to the nose still exists. At the same time, because the nose is subjected to upward force, the newborn's mouth is also prone to being in an open position, which is not conducive to the use of ventilators and newborn rehabilitation care. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a newborn nasal plug type mask to reduce damage to the newborn's nose and keep the newborn's mouth closed.
