Head and neck burn patient tracheostomy fixation device

Abstract

This utility model relates to a tracheostomy fixation device for patients with head and neck burns, comprising an upper fixation strap and a lower fixation strap with identical structures, both made of oil-soaked gauze. The upper fixation strap overlaps the lower fixation strap, and the upper and lower fixation straps are connected together by multiple longitudinal fixation lines, with a gap between adjacent longitudinal fixation lines, forming an installation opening between the upper and lower fixation straps and the two adjacent longitudinal fixation lines. An alginate dressing is detachably installed within the installation opening. The fixation strap body is made of oil-soaked gauze, which is less likely to adhere to the neck skin, reducing patient pain during changes. The alginate dressing has high absorbency and forms a soft gel upon contact with wound exudate, promoting wound healing and relieving wound pain. When there is a large amount of local exudate, a single alginate dressing can be replaced after contamination, without replacing the entire tracheostomy fixation strap body, avoiding the risk of tracheostomy tube slippage during tracheostomy fixation strap body replacement.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the medical field, and in particular to a tracheostomy fixation device for patients with head and neck burns. Background Technology

[0002] After a patient suffers burns to the head and neck, significant local swelling can easily cause inhalation dyspnea, necessitating timely tracheotomy. This not only helps remove foreign objects and secretions from the airway and allows for oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation, but also fundamentally relieves airway obstruction, maintains airway patency, prevents acute respiratory failure, and safeguards the patient's life.

[0003] Patients with head and neck burns may experience redness, swelling, heat, pain, or localized blisters with thin walls, extreme edema, or ulceration due to ruptured blisters. Conventional tracheostomy fixation straps are easily contaminated by the burn wound and adhere to it, causing secondary damage to the skin during replacement and resulting in pain. Furthermore, frequent changes of the fixation straps increase the risk of tracheostomy tube slippage. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, this invention proposes a tracheostomy fixation device for patients with head and neck burns.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a tracheostomy fixation device for patients with head and neck burns, including an upper fixation strap and a lower fixation strap with the same structure, wherein the upper fixation strap and the lower fixation strap are both made of oiled gauze.

[0006] The upper fixing band overlaps the lower fixing band, and the upper fixing band and the lower fixing band are connected together by multiple longitudinal fixing lines. There is a gap between two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines. The upper fixing band, the lower fixing band and the two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines form an installation opening. An alginate dressing is detachably installed in the installation opening.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the width of the upper fixing strap and the lower fixing strap is 1.5-2cm, and the spacing between two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines is 3-5cm.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the width of the upper fixing strap and the lower fixing strap is 2cm, and the distance between two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines is 5cm.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a pressure sensor is also included. The pressure sensor includes a base and a latching handle, with the latching handle provided on one side of the base. The latching handle is latched at the longitudinal fixing line.

[0010] The latch handle is equipped with a zeroing button and an indicator light; the base contains a processor and a sensitive element, the sensitive element is connected to the processor, and the zeroing button and the indicator light are also connected to the processor.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pressure-reducing pad is provided on the other side of the base.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the tracheostomy fixation device of this utility model, the fixation strap body is made of oil-soaked gauze, which is not easy to stick to the neck skin, thus avoiding the problem of adhesion to the wound and reducing the patient's pain during replacement; and the gap between two adjacent longitudinal fixation lines creates an installation opening between the upper fixation strap, the lower fixation strap, and the two adjacent longitudinal fixation lines. An alginate dressing is detachably installed in the installation opening. The alginate dressing has high absorbency and can form a soft gel after contacting wound exudate, providing an ideal moist environment for wound healing, promoting wound healing, and relieving wound pain. After a certain alginate dressing becomes contaminated, only that alginate dressing can be replaced without replacing the entire tracheostomy fixation strap body, avoiding the risk of tracheostomy tube slippage when replacing the tracheostomy fixation strap body.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 The present invention relates to a tracheostomy fixation device for a patient with head and neck burns, comprising an upper fixation strap 1 and a lower fixation strap 2 having the same structure, wherein both the upper fixation strap 1 and the lower fixation strap 2 are made of oiled gauze.

[0022] The upper fixing band 1 overlaps the lower fixing band 2, and the upper fixing band 1 and the lower fixing band 2 are connected together by multiple longitudinal fixing lines 3. There is a gap between two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines 3. The upper fixing band 1, the lower fixing band 2 and the two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines 3 form an installation opening 4. An alginate dressing 5 is detachably installed in the installation opening 4.

[0023] In use, the tracheostomy fixation device for head and neck burn patients involves overlapping an upper fixation strap 1 and a lower fixation strap 2 made of oil-soaked gauze. Then, at intervals, the upper fixation strap 1 and lower fixation strap 2 are sewn together using longitudinal fixation lines 3, thus connecting the upper fixation strap 1 and lower fixation strap 2 to form the fixation strap body. The two ends of the connected fixation strap body are then knotted and fixed to one side of the tracheostomy cannula. Because the fixation strap body is made of oil-soaked gauze, it is less likely to adhere to the neck skin, avoiding the problem of wound adhesion and reducing patient discomfort during changes. A gap is left between adjacent longitudinal fixation lines 3, ensuring adequate spacing between the upper and lower fixation lines. The upper fixation band 1 and the lower fixation band 2 are not connected together, thus forming an installation opening 4 between the upper fixation band 1, the lower fixation band 2, and the two adjacent longitudinal fixation lines 3. An alginate dressing 5 is detachably installed in the installation opening 4. The alginate dressing 5 has high absorbency and can form a soft gel after contacting wound exudate, providing an ideal moist environment for wound healing, promoting wound healing, and relieving wound pain. When an alginate dressing 5 becomes contaminated, a single alginate dressing 5 can be replaced without replacing the entire tracheostomy fixation band body, avoiding the risk of tracheostomy tube slippage when replacing the tracheostomy fixation band body, and also facilitating wound observation during replacement.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the upper fixing band 1 and the lower fixing band 2 in this application is 1.5-2 cm, and the spacing between two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines 3 is 3-5 cm. More preferably, the width of the upper fixing band 1 and the lower fixing band 2 is 2 cm, and the spacing between two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines 3 is 5 cm. This allows the spacing between two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines 3 to be set according to requirements, facilitating the formation of a suitable installation opening 4 between the upper fixing band 1, the lower fixing band 2, and the two adjacent longitudinal fixing lines 3. This facilitates matching the size of the alginate dressing 5 and improves the stability of the installation opening 4 in fixing the alginate dressing 5.

[0025] Burn patients experience edema during the edema phase, requiring close monitoring of the degree of neck edema and timely adjustment of the tracheostomy fixation strap. Excessive tightness can cause discomfort and pressure damage to the neck skin. After the edema subsides, the tracheostomy tube will loosen as the wound heals, potentially dislodging during coughing. To address these issues, the tracheostomy fixation device of this application further includes a pressure sensor 6. The pressure sensor 6 comprises a base 601 and a latching handle 602. The latching handle 602 is located on one side of the base 601. The latching handle 602 is equipped with a zeroing button 603 and an indicator light 604. The base 601 contains a processor 605 and a sensitive element 606. The sensitive element 606 is connected to the processor 605, and the zeroing button 603 and indicator light 604 are also connected to the processor 605. The buckle handle 602 is fastened at the longitudinal fixing line 3. When the patient is in or after the edema period, the tightness of the fixation strap body on the patient's neck will change. The sensitive element 606 is set in the base 601 to sense the pressure of the fixation strap body on the patient's neck in real time and transmit the sensed information to the processor 605. The processor 605 controls the display light 604 to display different colors, thereby reminding medical staff to adjust the tightness of the fixation strap body on the patient's neck.

[0026] Specifically, after the tracheostomy tube is secured to the main body of the fixation strap and the tightness is adjusted, the buckle handle 602 of the pressure sensor 6 is snapped onto the longitudinal fixation line 3, so that the base 601 contacts the skin. A pressure-reducing pad 607 is provided on the other side of the base 601 in this application. The pressure-reducing pad 607 can be a foam pad, which reduces the pressure on the skin after the pressure sensor contacts it. Then, the zeroing button 603 is pressed. At this time, the zeroing button 603 transmits a signal to the processor 605, and the processor 605 controls the indicator light 604 to display a green light. When the patient's skin tissue experiences edema or after the edema period, if the signal received by the sensitive element 606 is greater than or less than the zeroing pressure set by the processor, the sensitive element 606 transmits a signal to the processor 605. After comparing the information, the processor 605 controls the indicator light 604 to display a red light, reminding medical personnel to adjust the tightness of the tracheostomy fixation strap in a timely manner to ensure the safety and stability of the patient using the tracheostomy fixation device.
