Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an oxygen humidification device that can relieve thirst. Background Technology

[0002] Postoperative patients often require oxygen therapy to maintain their blood oxygen levels. However, the dry oxygen entering the body through the respiratory tract during oxygen therapy can accelerate the loss of moisture from the oral and pharyngeal mucosa, leading to persistent dry mouth, thirst, and other discomfort. Since postoperative patients' bodily functions have not fully recovered, especially in cardiac surgery, which primarily treats heart conditions such as coronary artery bypass grafting, congenital heart disease surgery, and valve replacement, frequent hydration to relieve thirst can cause a sudden increase in circulating blood volume, increasing the burden on the heart and potentially triggering complications such as acute heart failure, threatening life. Therefore, how to simultaneously alleviate thirst during oxygen therapy and precisely control the patient's fluid intake has become a pressing clinical problem in postoperative care.

[0003] Currently, two main methods are used clinically to alleviate thirst caused by oxygen inhalation: one is to add sterile or distilled water to the humidification bottle in traditional oxygen humidification devices, utilizing the small amount of water vapor carried by oxygen bubbles as they pass through the liquid to provide basic humidification of the gas; the other is to alleviate dry mouth through artificial assistance measures (such as using cotton swabs dipped in water to moisten the lips, oral sprays, or instructing patients to drink small amounts of water frequently). In addition, some improved humidification devices attempt to increase the temperature of the humidification solution to increase gas humidity, or add cooling ingredients such as mint to the humidification solution, attempting to indirectly reduce the perception of thirst through a cooling sensation in the mouth.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, firstly, conventional humidification devices have limited humidification efficiency. The short flow time and insufficient contact area of ​​oxygen through the humidifying liquid result in a small increase in gas humidity, failing to effectively alleviate thirst caused by mucosal dehydration, requiring patients to actively drink water. Secondly, manual interventions rely on frequent operation by medical staff or patient self-discipline, making continuous intervention difficult, and the risk of excessive water intake remains unavoidable. Finally, existing devices lack active monitoring and control functions for patient drinking behavior, making it impossible to quantify and control single-time or daily water intake, and failing to mitigate the potential risk of excessive cardiac load. Therefore, postoperative thirst problems are difficult to effectively resolve. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the difficulty in effectively managing postoperative thirst in patients, this application provides an oxygen humidification device that can alleviate thirst.

[0007] Furthermore, the water injection assembly includes a water injection tube, an infusion bottle, and a water injection switch. One end of the water injection tube is connected to the water injection port, and the other end is detachably connected to the infusion bottle. The infusion bottle is available in various capacity specifications, and the water injection switch is located on the water injection tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the water injection switch adopts an infusion drip rate regulator.

[0009] Furthermore, the nasal oxygen cannula and the oral cannula are secured to the patient's clothing by the same clip.

One end of the main nasal tube is connected to a humidified oxygen interface, and one end of each branch nasal tube is connected to the main nasal tube and the other end is connected to the nasal cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, a nasal cavity connecting tube is provided between the two nasal cavity tubes. The two ends of the nasal cavity connecting tube are respectively connected to the two nasal cavity tubes. Two connecting tubes are provided at intervals along the length of the nasal cavity connecting tube on the side wall of the nasal cavity connecting tube.

[0012] Furthermore, the oral catheter includes a main oral tube and two branch oral tubes. One end of each branch oral tube is connected to the main oral tube, and the other end is connected to the patient's oral cavity. The two branch oral tubes lead to both sides of the patient's oral cavity, respectively.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0023] This application discloses an oxygen humidification device that can relieve thirst. (See also...) Figure 1-3 The oxygen humidification device that can relieve thirst includes a double-chamber bottle 1, a water injection assembly 2, a nebulizer 3, a humidifier 4, a nasal oxygen tube 6, and an oral cannula 5.

[0024] The dual-chamber bottle 1 has a cylindrical body, and its interior is symmetrically divided into two cavities: an atomizing cavity 11 and a humidifying cavity 12. In this embodiment, the capacity of the dual-chamber bottle 1 is 400ml, and the capacities of both the atomizing cavity 11 and the humidifying cavity 12 are set to 200ml. Figure 2 As shown, the left side of the dual-chamber bottle 1 is an atomizing chamber 11, and the right side is a humidification chamber 12. The side of the dual-chamber bottle 1 closest to the atomizing chamber 11 is provided with an atomizing interface 13 communicating with the atomizing chamber 11, and the top is provided with a water inlet 14 communicating with the atomizing chamber 11. The water injection assembly 2 provides sterile water to the atomizing chamber 11 in a metered manner through the water inlet 14. The side of the dual-chamber bottle 1 closest to the humidification chamber 12 is provided with a humidified oxygen interface 15 communicating with the humidification chamber 12, and the top is provided with an oxygen injection tube 16 communicating with the humidification chamber 12.

[0025] The top of the dual-chamber bottle 1 is equipped with a circuit module, a power supply module, and a control module. The nebulizer 3 is located in the nebulization chamber 11 of the dual-chamber bottle 1. The nebulizer 3 is an ultrasonic nebulizer 3. The nebulizer 3 is used to atomize the sterile water from the water injection component 2 in the nebulization chamber 11. The atomized sterile water is discharged from the nebulization chamber 11 through the nebulization interface 13. The humidifier 4 is located in the humidification bottle of the dual-chamber bottle 1. The humidifier 4 is a heated humidifier 4. The humidification chamber 12 is equipped with sterile water for humidifying oxygen. Since the amount of water required for humidifying oxygen is not large, the sterile water in the humidification chamber 12 can be pre-prepared in the humidification chamber 12 or introduced into the humidification chamber 12 through a water pipe. The oxygen injection pipe 16 is connected to the oxygen source to introduce oxygen into the humidification chamber 12. Under the action of the humidifier 4, the oxygen is humidified. The humidified oxygen is discharged from the humidification chamber 12 through the oxygen humidification interface 15.

[0026] The sterile water from the nebulization chamber 11 is discharged and supplied to the patient through the oral catheter 5. The humidified oxygen from the humidification chamber 12 is discharged and supplied to the patient through the nasal oxygen cannula 6, thus achieving simultaneous oxygen supply and hydration. Since the water injection component 2 can quantitatively provide sterile water to the nebulization chamber 11, the patient's water intake can be precisely controlled, effectively avoiding excessive or insufficient water intake, thereby effectively solving the problem of postoperative thirst.

[0027] To enable the water injection assembly 2 to provide a quantitative oxygen supply while maintaining a low cost, the water injection assembly 2 includes a water injection tube 21, an infusion bottle 22, and a water injection switch 23. One end of the water injection tube 21 is connected to the water inlet 14 of the dual-chamber bottle 1 via a threaded connector, and the other end is detachably connected to the infusion bottle 22. The infusion bottle 22 is available in various capacity sizes. The water injection switch 23 is located on the water injection tube 21 and is used to control the flow rate of the water injection tube 21. By selecting the required capacity size of the infusion bottle 22, a predetermined amount of sterile water is filled into the infusion bottle 22 to precisely control the patient's fluid intake. The water injection switch 23 uses an infusion drip rate regulator, and the water flow rate and the on / off state of the water injection can be achieved by sliding a roller.

[0028] Postoperative patients may require nebulizer therapy, and these patients often experience low blood oxygen saturation or difficulty breathing. Nebulizer therapy requires oxygen to atomize liquid medications. However, humid oxygen nebulization increases the size of the atomized drug particles, causing them to deposit primarily in the respiratory tract and failing to reach the lungs. This results in poor treatment outcomes for patients with weakened cardiopulmonary function. Therefore, dry oxygen nebulizer therapy is needed to reduce the size of the atomized particles and allow the medication to penetrate deeper into the lungs. For details, please refer to... Figure 2 The oxygen injection tube 16 is equipped with a dry-wet switching switch 18 and a dry oxygen interface 17. The dry-wet switching switch 18 is a manual ball valve and is located on the side of the dry oxygen interface 17 near the double-chamber bottle 1.

[0029] When nebulization therapy is required, disconnect the oxygen inlet tube 16 from the humidification chamber 12 by switching between dry and wet modes 18, remove the plug from the dry oxygen interface 17 (other interfaces are also sealed with plugs when not in use), and connect the air inlet pipe of the nebulizer to the dry oxygen interface 17. Dry oxygen nebulization therapy can then be performed on the patient without the need for an additional oxygen supply line. It can supply both humid and dry oxygen and also provide water to the patient, thus greatly improving the versatility and ease of use of the humidification device.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 The nasal oxygen tube 6 includes a main nasal tube 61 and two nasal tubes 62. One end of the main nasal tube 61 is connected to the humid oxygen interface 15 via a threaded connector, and the other end is connected to the two nasal tubes 62 via a Y-shaped connector. The other ends of the two nasal tubes 62 are connected to the two nasal cavities respectively.

[0031] To improve the stability of the connection between the nasal tube 62 and the nasal cavity, a nasal connecting tube 63 is provided between the two nasal tubes 62. The two ends of the nasal connecting tube 63 are respectively inserted into the two nasal tubes 62. Two connecting tubes 64 are provided at intervals along the length of the nasal tube 62 on its side wall. The interval between the two connecting tubes 64 is adapted to the distance between the two nasal cavities.

[0032] When the nasal oxygen tube 6 is connected to the patient's nasal cavity, the two nasal cavity branches 62 are respectively wrapped around the back of the patient's ears to the front of the patient's nasal cavity, and the two connecting branches 64 are inserted into the patient's nasal cavity to achieve stable placement of the nasal oxygen tube 6.

[0033] The oral catheter 5 includes a main oral tube 51 and two oral branch tubes 52. One end of the main oral tube 51 is connected to the nebulization interface 13 via a threaded connector, and the other end is connected to the two oral branch tubes 52 via a Y-shaped connector, so that the oral catheter 5 forms a Y shape. By setting two oral branch tubes 52, nebulized sterile water can be provided to both sides of the patient's oral cavity, so that the nebulized water can be evenly distributed to all areas of the patient's oral cavity, avoiding uneven wetting caused by unilateral supply, improving the patient's comfort, and more effectively relieving the patient's thirst.

[0034] To ensure a stable connection between the oral cannula 5 and the patient's oral cavity, ear loops 53 are provided on both sections of the oral cannula 5. The ear loops 53 are butterfly-shaped elastic bands made of elastic fiber material. The oral cannula 52 is hung on the patient's ear through the ear loops 53, reducing the possibility of the oral cannula 52 swinging out of the patient's oral cavity.

[0035] To further improve the stability of the oral cannula 5 and the nasal cannula 6 and ensure effective oxygen and nebulized water supply, the oral cannula 51 and the nasal cannula 61 are clamped and fixed by the same clip 9. The clip 9 is an X-shaped clip, which clamps and fixes the nasal cannula 61 and the oral cannula 51 to the patient's clothing. By adjusting the position of the clip 9, the tightness of the connection between the oral cannula 5 and the nasal cannula 6 and the patient's mouth and nose can be adjusted, thereby improving the patient's comfort.

[0036] When the patient is eating or not thirsty, the nebulizer needs to be turned off. To facilitate the control of the nebulizer's start and stop, a control switch 7 is provided on the side wall of the double-chamber bottle 1. The control switch 7 is electrically connected to the nebulizer 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, to ensure continuous operation of the atomizer 3, a charging port 8 is provided on the side wall of the dual-chamber bottle 1 for charging the atomizer 3. This charging method facilitates the relocation of the humidification device, allowing it to be used wherever there is a power outlet, thus improving its ease of use. Alternatively, the atomizer can also be powered via a power cord and a power socket.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
