Furthermore, conventional fixation methods can cause damage to the nasal alar region with prolonged use.

Method used

Design a nose support protection device including a malleable nose pad, a tube guide and fixation groove, and a connector. The endotracheal tube is fixed by an adhesive layer and allowed to rotate when the tube is inserted into the nostril to avoid prolonged pressure on the soft tissue of the nasal alar. The arc-shaped or bow-shaped fixation groove guides the tube to the forehead.

Benefits of technology

It effectively fixes the endotracheal tube, protects the soft tissue of the nasal ala, avoids pressure sores and postoperative discomfort, simplifies the operation, reduces surgical time, and improves safety.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a nasal support protection device, and more particularly to a nasal support protection device for fixing endotracheal tubes during oral and maxillofacial surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Oral and maxillofacial surgery involves the oral and maxillofacial region and neck. Because the surgical site involves the face and airway, it usually requires general anesthesia. Under general anesthesia, patients cannot breathe independently and require mechanical ventilation via endotracheal intubation. If the endotracheal tube is not properly secured during surgery, the following adverse consequences may occur: ①. The endotracheal tube may dislodge due to improper surgical technique, causing hypoxia or even endangering the patient's life; ②. Pressure sores may occur due to prolonged pressure from the endotracheal tube on the patient's face; if the endotracheal tube presses on the eyeball for an extended period, it may even cause eyeball rupture or blindness; ③. The endotracheal tube may pull on the nose and lips, causing soft tissue deformation, damaging facial aesthetic landmarks, and resulting in surgical trauma. Therefore, before surgery begins, the endotracheal tube must be securely fixed in a suitable position to ensure it will not dislodge from the airway during surgical procedures and will not compress or pull on facial soft tissues. Currently, the conventional method for fixing the endotracheal tube involves wrapping and securing it to the face with tape. If necessary, this is combined with sutures on the columella and the tube itself for fixation. After connecting the extension tube, it is wrapped with a surgical drape and placed across the patient's forehead, then covered with a surgical drape. This method provides good fixation, but it inevitably puts some pressure on the soft tissues of the nasal alar region. Tumor resection and repair surgeries lasting more than 3 hours often result in damage to the nasal alar region. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a nasal support protection device for fixing endotracheal tubes in oral and maxillofacial surgery, comprising a malleable nasal support with a gel layer on one side. The nasal support protection device further includes a tube guide and fixation groove and a connector. An adhesive layer is provided on the inner wall of the tube guide and fixation groove, and the tube guide and fixation groove is assembled with the malleable nasal support via the connector. As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the tube guide and fixation groove is assembled with the malleable nasal support in a dynamic fit manner via the connector. This facilitates the tube guide and fixation groove to rotate 30 to 45 degrees relative to the malleable nasal support about the connector as an axis.

[0004] This invention satisfies the requirement that the endotracheal tube be inserted into the patient's lungs through either the right or left nostril. In a preferred embodiment, the connector is a rivet, or alternatively, a screw. In another preferred embodiment, the overall shape of the tube guide and fixation groove is arc-shaped, or even bow-shaped. Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: By designing a nasal support device for fixing endotracheal tubes during oral and maxillofacial surgery, the endotracheal tube is pressed into the tube guide and fixation groove. Through the interaction of the adhesive layer and the groove, the endotracheal tube is fixed and extends towards the patient's forehead, facilitating surgical procedures. The nasal support device effectively protects the soft tissue of the nasal ala, preventing pressure sores. This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing methods for fixing endotracheal tubes using a drape-wrapped head method. It is convenient to use, saves time, and eliminates the need for surgeons to repeatedly move the patient's head under general anesthesia, avoiding pressure sores or postoperative discomfort caused by prolonged pressure on the nasal soft tissue during surgery due to improper operation. Attached Figure Description

[0005] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the front structure of this utility model;

[0006] Figure 2 is a side view of the present invention.

[0007] The components include: 1. Pipeline guide and fixation groove; 2. Adhesive layer; 3. Moldable nose pad; 4. Gel layer; and 5. Connector. Detailed Implementation

[0008] The preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the utility model. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a nasal support protection device for fixing endotracheal tubes in oral and maxillofacial surgery includes a malleable nasal support 3. A gel layer 4 is provided on one side of the malleable nasal support 3. The nasal support protection device also includes a tube guide fixing groove 1 and a connector 5. An adhesive layer 2 is provided on the inner wall of the tube guide fixing groove 1. The tube guide fixing groove 1 is assembled with the malleable nasal support 3 in a dynamic engagement manner through the connector 5. The connector 5 is a rivet. The assembly of the tube guide fixing groove 1 with the malleable nasal support 3 in a dynamic engagement manner through the rivet facilitates the rotation of the tube guide fixing groove 1 relative to the malleable nasal support 3 by 30 to 45 degrees with the rivet as the axis, thereby meeting the requirement that the endotracheal tube is inserted into the patient's lungs whether from the right or left nostril. The connector 5 can also be a screw; the overall shape of the pipe guide fixing groove 1 is arc-shaped. Of course, the overall shape of the pipe guide fixing groove 1...

[0009] The tube can also be arched. The shape of the tube guide and fixation groove 1 is conducive to fixing the endotracheal tube and extends towards the patient's forehead, facilitating surgical operations. The malleable nose pad 3 is adjustable according to the patient's nose shape and size, that is, after the surgeon adjusts the malleable nose pad 3, it fits perfectly on the patient's nose. A gel layer 4 is provided on the side of the malleable nose pad 3 that is in contact with the patient's face, either fully or partially. An adhesive layer 2 is provided on the inner wall of the tube guide and fixation groove 1, either fully or partially. A protective paper layer is provided on the exposed surfaces of both the adhesive layer 2 and the gel layer 4. When the nose pad protection device is needed, the protective paper layer can be removed. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this. According to the specific content of the present invention, using conventional technical knowledge and common means in the art, without departing from the above-mentioned basic technical solution of the present invention, all other modifications, substitutions or combinations made to this embodiment fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
