[0026] Please refer to the drawings of the specification Figures 1-5 The present application provides an embodiment of a stomach tube fixing device with adjustment function, aiming to improve the stability, comfort and applicability of the stomach tube 5 fixation. The device is mainly composed of an ear hanging piece 1 with a semi-open surrounding structure and a stomach tube 5 fixing piece, and the specific design is as follows:

[0027] The ear hanging piece 1 is shaped and sized to precisely match the human ear, ensuring stability when worn. The ear hanging piece 1 is composed of an integral ear contour part 11 and a bottom support part 2, both of which are made of elastic deformation material, which can flexibly adapt to the ear contour shape of different patients, provide personalized wearing experience, and effectively reduce the discomfort caused by long-term wearing. There is a gap 12 between the ear contour part 11 and the bottom support part 2, which further enhances the comfort of wearing. The stomach tube fixing device with adjustment function provided in this embodiment,

[0028] On the side of the bottom support part 2 away from the patient's ear, a fixed plate 3 is provided. The two ends of the U-shaped plastic bolt 4 pass through the fixed plate 3 and are firmly fixed on the bottom support part 2, and together with the fixed plate 3 form an adjustable stomach tube 5 fixing space. In particular, the bottom support part 2 is provided with a mounting groove 21, and one end of the plastic bolt 4 penetrates into the mounting groove 21 and forms a threaded cooperation with the adjusting nut 6 mounted on the mounting groove 21. By rotating the adjusting nut 6, the adjusting action of the plastic bolt 4 can be easily realized, and the fixing position of the stomach tube 5 is adjusted to meet the actual needs of different patients.

[0029] The one side of the fixed plate 3 is arc-shaped and the extending end is downward, which is in close contact with the gastric tube 5, and effectively prevents the sliding of the gastric tube 5. The other side is provided with two oppositely arranged limiting plates 31 which are integrally formed with the fixed plate 3 and form the limiting space of the top of the gastric tube 5.

[0030] In combination with the above description, the working steps of the gastric tube fixing device with the adjusting function are as follows:

[0031] Before the nurse performs the indwelling gastric tube 5 operation according to the doctor's order, the nurse should explain to the patient and obtain the patient's consent. Then, the proximal end of the gastric tube 5 is fixed by a conventional method (medical adhesive tape or fixing dressing), and the distal end of the gastric tube 5 is fixed by the utility model. The following steps are completed when fixing:

[0032] (1) The ear hanging piece 1 is worn on the ear. Preferably, the appropriate ear is selected according to the patient's body position. When the patient takes a left lateral position, the fixing device is worn on the right ear. When the patient takes a right lateral position, the fixing device is worn on the left ear. When the patient takes a supine position, both ears can be worn. At the same time, the appropriate ear can also be selected according to the patient's comfort and personal habits. Generally, it is recommended to change the ear to wear every 2-4 hours.

[0033] (2) According to the actual situation of the patient, the position of the plastic bolt 4 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting nut 6, and the gastric tube 5 is placed in the adjusted fixed space.

[0034] (3) Finally, the fixing effect of the gastric tube 5 is checked to ensure that the gastric tube 5 is stably fixed in the device and will not be loose or fall off due to the patient's activity.

[0035] As described above, the gastric tube fixing device with the adjusting function realizes the comprehensive improvement of the stability, comfort and applicability of the gastric tube 5 fixation through the design of the ear hanging piece 1, the adjustable fixed space and the stable limiting structure.

[0036] Further, in order to confirm the implementation effect of the structure in the above embodiment, according to the different gastric tube 5 fixing methods, the ear hanging type fixing group of the utility model and the traditional adhesive tape fixing group are divided into two groups, each with thirty patients, wherein:

[0037] In the ear hanging type fixing group, there are 14 male patients and 16 female patients, the age is 50-80 years old, the average age is 64.58±11 years old, the medical expenses come from self-payment, work expenses, medical insurance and new rural cooperative medical service, which are 4 cases, 3 cases, 15 cases and 8 cases respectively, and the diseases are cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral ischemia, which are 12 cases and 18 cases respectively;

[0038] The traditional adhesive tape fixed group adopts 16 male cases and 14 female cases, the age is 50-80 years old, the average age is 66.52±11 years old, the self expense, the work expense, the medical insurance and the new rural cooperative medical treatment in the medical expense are 2 cases, 5 cases, 13 cases and 10 cases respectively, and the proportion of cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral ischemia in the disease is 12 cases and 18 cases respectively.

[0039] The gender, the average age, the medical expense source and the disease type of the above two groups of patients are compared, and the difference is not statistically significant, and the comparability is compared.

[0040] The main comparison items include the following aspects:

[0041] (1) the skin condition of the distal end of the gastric tube 5, the fixed comfort degree, the two indexes are observed and recorded by the designated nurse;

[0042] (2) the inpatient satisfaction survey, a self-made questionnaire is used to investigate the satisfaction of the above patients to the two fixed methods.

[0043] After comparison and analysis, the results show that the inpatients using the ear hanging type gastric tube 5 fixing device in the skin condition of the distal end of the gastric tube 5 and the fixed comfort degree all show a significant effect better than the traditional fixed group. Further, through the satisfaction survey of inpatients, the data shows that among the patients using the ear hanging type gastric tube 5 fixing device, the satisfaction rate is as high as 93.33% (a total of 28 cases), while the satisfaction rate of patients using ordinary gastric tube 5 fixing device is only 46.67% (a total of 14 cases). The difference in this data fully shows that the ear hanging type gastric tube 5 fixing device is significantly better than the traditional fixing method in improving patient satisfaction.

[0044] In summary, the ear hanging type gastric tube 5 fixing method proposed in the utility model has made significant progress in ensuring patient comfort and reducing skin damage compared with the existing adhesive tape fixing method. Therefore, it can be concluded that the fixing method of the utility model has obvious advantages in improving patient experience and reducing the risk of skin damage.

[0045] The above only describes the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
