Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of preoperative breathing exercises, specifically a breathing exercise device for preoperative training. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, minimally invasive transnasal endoscopic surgery has become a common surgical method for treating sellar region tumors, especially pituitary tumors. Compared with traditional open surgery, this minimally invasive surgery has less trauma and a faster recovery time. However, due to postoperative trauma, swelling, and secretion accumulation in both nasal cavities, nasal congestion often occurs, forcing patients to breathe through their mouths. This not only causes discomfort during postoperative recovery but may also lead to dry mouth, throat discomfort, and even increase the risk of infection.

[0003] During postoperative recovery, nasal congestion prevents patients from regaining normal nasal breathing function in the short term, further affecting their rest quality and recovery progress. Furthermore, patients often need a considerable amount of time to adapt to nasal congestion, leading to a prolonged and uncomfortable recovery process. Therefore, helping patients adapt to postoperative nasal congestion in advance and improving their breathing experience has become a major challenge in clinical treatment.

[0004] To address this issue, existing technologies have proposed devices to help patients simulate nasal congestion and perform breathing exercises before surgery, including the following:

[0005] 1) Publication No. CN214679915U discloses a nasal plug device for oral breathing training. In this patent application, it includes two nasal plug heads disposed on a plate body. Two sleeves coaxial with the nasal plug heads are fixedly connected to the plate body. The nasal plug heads are sleeved in the sleeves and can move along their axial direction to adjust the height of the nasal plug heads. The plate body is provided with a spacing adjustment unit for adjusting the distance between the two sleeves. A clamping component for pressing the sides of the nose is provided on the outside of the sleeves.

[0006] 2) Patent application CN222238711U discloses a preoperative oral breathing trainer, which includes a headband assembly and nasal plug assemblies connected to both ends of the headband assembly. The headband assembly includes a headband and ear shells fixedly connected to both ends of the headband. Each ear shell has an earmuff on its inner side, and the two ear shells are designated as a first ear shell and a second ear shell. The first ear shell houses a controller, a timer, and a music module. The outer shell of the first ear shell has a display screen, control buttons, and a battery compartment. The controller is electrically connected to the timer, music module, display screen, control buttons, and battery compartment.

After the frame 201 is worn, the nasal cavity is blocked by the nasal plug structure 1 to carry out mouth breathing training, that is, the nasal cavity blockage after surgery is simulated by blocking the nasal cavity through the nasal plug structure 1.

[0046] Users can press the timing button 205 on the top of the frame 201 to start timing. The timing panel will display the current training time, and users can view the training duration in real time to help them arrange their training time reasonably.

[0047] After wearing the device, the user simulates postoperative nasal congestion by blocking the nasal plug structure 1.

[0048] After each training session, the user can replace the replaceable plug 102 as needed. Since the replaceable plug 102 is for single use, the user can ensure hygiene during each training session. The wearing structure 2 and other components can be cleaned according to the frequency of use to keep the device clean and in good working order.

[0049] After use, the user can store the bottom plug seat 101 and the replaceable plug body 102 in the storage compartments 206 on both sides of the wearing structure 2. The buckle design in the storage compartment 206 can ensure that the accessories are not lost and keep them tidy.

[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
