Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an effective device and method for combating COVID-19. [Background technology]

[0002] As COVID-19 cases worsen, their respiratory condition rapidly deteriorates. While artificial respiration and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have been used, more effective treatments are needed. Furthermore, due to hospitals being fully booked, the number of patients being treated at home has increased sixfold in one month. While these patients are being monitored with pulse oximeters, they require oxygen compressors, but there is a shortage of these machines, and these alone are not enough to save patients. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] In response to the above demands, the inventor has invented a device that extracts oxygen from water by electrolyzing oxygen and hydrogen for both seriously ill patients in hospitals and those receiving care at home (Patent No. 2631571, US PATENT 5,156,927, US PATENT 5,178,118, US PATENT 5,399,251). ECMO, oxygen compressors, nitrogen separators, oxygen supplements, and oxygen tanks will be utilized to achieve greater improvement through simple, low-cost, and effective devices and methods.

[0004] There are reports that injecting oxygen-releasing liquids (pure oxygen gas, oxygen-rich dissolved perfluorocarbon, etc.) into the anus using an enema is effective, but this has the drawback of being temporary and not permanent. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention improves the oxygen utilization efficiency of the inventor's oxygen compression device, ECMO, in hospitals, thereby improving patient recovery. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent COVID-19 patients who cannot be hospitalized and are waiting at home from eventually dying due to a lack of oxygen compressors. Clinical trials have also confirmed that this is an extremely effective and rapid method for treating critically ill hospitalized patients compared to ECMO, oxygen tanks, and oxygen concentrators alone. By using known ECMO, oxygen concentrators, oxygen tanks, or the water-based oxygen generator invented by the inventor, patient recovery can be improved compared to conventional methods, and the method can be performed at low cost. Furthermore, whereas the method of injecting oxygen-generating liquid into the anus by enema is only effective temporarily, the present invention has the great advantage of being continuously effective over the long term.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As explained in the brief description of the drawings, Figure 1 shows a known oxygen inhalation treatment method for COVID-19, etc., in which oxygen is sent from an oxygen concentrator or the like 21 via a pipe 3 inserted into the nasal cavity via a bifurcated nasal pipe 41, or oxygen is sent from an ECMO or the like 2 through the pipe 3 to an oxygen mask 4 of the patient 1.

[0009] [First embodiment] FIG. 2 shows the first embodiment of the present invention, in which a patient 1 is lying on his / her side on a pillow 91 of a bed 9.

[0010] Oxygen from the oxygen device 2 such as ECMO is divided into two outputs by the T-shaped three-limb joint 6 of the present invention via a pipe 31.

[0011] One of the two limbs reaches the mouth of the patient 1 through a pipe 32, a valve 7, and a pipe 3, and then reaches an oxygen mask 4. The valve 7 is used to adjust or stop the oxygen flow rate, and may be adjusted with a lever 34 and a handle 8. The other of the two limbs is inserted into the anus 11 of the patient 1 from outside the bed through the pipe 33, valve 71, and pipe 36, and an insertion tool 5 with a flange 51 is inserted. The flow rate of oxygen to the anus can be adjusted or stopped with the lever 35 and handle 81.

[0012] Second Embodiment Figure 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a hole is drilled in the bed, which is convenient when the patient is lying on their back. In this example, instead of the T-shaped three-limb joint 6 of the present invention of the previous embodiment, an LT-type joint 6 of the present invention is used, which has an L-shaped top branch and is a vertical body that allows the oxygen source to flow in two directions, from vertical to horizontal. A pipe 36 is passed through the bed frame, a hole 92 is drilled in the mattress 9, the (LT-type) pipe 36 is passed through this hole, and the insertion tool 5 is inserted into the anus 11 of the patient 1 up to its flange 51.

[0013] FIG. 4 is a side view of the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, in which holes are drilled in the bed base 91 and mattress 9 (if there is a gap in the bed base 91, the pipe 36, the anal insertion device 5, and its flange 51 are passed through the holes and inserted into the anus of the patient 1).

[0014] Third Embodiment FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which a device of the present invention is used in which a compressor 61 is provided on the anal output side of a T-shaped branch pipe. No holes are made in the bed base 91 or mattress 9, and pipe 36 is passed under the bed, and pipe 36 and anal insertion device 5 are inserted from the back of the bed. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of this seen from above.

[0015] [Fourth embodiment] In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, oxygen is pressurized by a compressor 61 and forced into the intestines. The compressor 61 may be integrated with the T-type or LT-type branching tool 6 of the present invention, or may be separate from the T-type or LT-type branching tool 6 of the present invention. This can be used in all embodiments of the present invention.

[0016] Fifth Embodiment Figure 7 shows the fifth embodiment of the present invention. This is characterized by the fact that a separate oxygen supply device is provided for the anus without using the T-type or LT-type branching tool of the present invention, and that the legs are elevated to make it easier to introduce oxygen into the anus. In FIG. 7, an oxygen cylinder 21 is used as an oxygen supply device that also serves as a leg lifting device, and a futon 23 is placed on top of it.

[0017] Sixth Embodiment FIG. 8 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention, in which an oxygen cylinder 21 is provided inside a triangular prism 231 , which serves as a footrest and leads to an anal insertion device 5 having a pipe 211 and a flange 51 .

[0018] Seventh Embodiment 9 shows a seventh embodiment of the present invention, in which oxygen from oxygen tank 22 is sent to anal insertion device 5 by pump 224 via pipe 223, and the entire device is covered with foot rest 231. Reference numeral 222 denotes an oxygen supply pipe. FIG. 10 is a side cross-sectional view of FIG. 9.

[0019] Eighth Embodiment FIG. 11 shows an eighth embodiment of the present invention. It has been experimentally confirmed that oxygen is introduced into oxygen tank 22 through pipe 221 from oxygen valve 2221, and then passed through pipe 2222 and on-off valve 72 to be led to anus insertion device 5 with flange 51, and then transported from outlet 52 to the intestines, where it is absorbed, improving the patient's condition. The tank 22 is located at the top to utilize gravity, and mainly contains a liquid that generates oxygen. Figure 12 shows this from above.

[0020] Ninth Embodiment FIG. 13 is a side view of the ninth embodiment of the present invention. This device is equipped with a container 221 for holding an oxygen-generating liquid on a footrest 231, and utilizes gravity to continuously send oxygen to the anus. Oxygen is released into the anus from the oxygen outlet 52 of the anal inserter 5, which has a flange 51, via an open / close flow rate control valve 72 and a pipe 2222. 231 is a footrest, which raises the anus upward, making anal insertion easier.

[0021] Tenth Embodiment 14 shows a tenth embodiment of the present invention, in which a pipe is installed under or beside the foot pillow 231, and a flow rate and on / off valve 72 is connected to an oxygen supplier 1 such as ECMO, from which oxygen is continuously supplied. This simplifies the device.

[0022] Eleventh Embodiment FIG. 15 shows an eleventh embodiment of the present invention, in which a lumbar pillow 232 is provided instead of a leg pillow 231 . This makes it easier to insert into the anus. The top view of this is shown in Figure 16. Oxygen is supplied from 2321. Place a lid here or connect a pipe here.

[0023] Twelfth Embodiment Fig. 17 shows a twelfth embodiment of the present invention. Its distinctive feature is that the oxygen tank 232 is separated by a central partition 2322, and the pipe 2323 and supply port 2321 are also separate. Fig. 18 is a side view of this embodiment.

[0024] FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram of this operation. The patient places the thighs 111 on the oxygen tank 232, and the weight or force 212 of the thighs 111 compresses the oxygen tank 232. The oxygen tank 232 is made of a flexible material, so the oxygen or oxygen-generating liquid inside is connected to each pipe 2323 by the two-leg connector 2325, and the oxygen passes through the pipe 2222 and is discharged from the outlet 53 into the patient's intestines, so that the patient is continuously supplied with oxygen and the symptoms are improved. This can be done with just one leg 111, alternate legs, or both legs, allowing the patient to adjust the amount of oxygen themselves.

[0025] Thirteenth Embodiment FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a thirteenth embodiment of the present invention. When using the oxygen generating device or a device that generates a small amount of oxygen (including oxygen when generating hydrogen water) 21 that the present inventor invented separately and patented in Japan and the United States, as shown in the same document 20, this invention uses multiple devices 21 in parallel and inserts multiple pipes 31 from them into the nostrils 122 of the patient's nose 12. This allows a large amount of oxygen to be effectively and continuously supplied to the patient even with a small amount of oxygen, which has a great effect on the patient's recovery. Furthermore, the efficiency of ozone, which is mixed with or generated simultaneously with oxygen, increases with humidity, and since the humidity inside the nose is high, the present invention is extremely efficient. In the above, the case where multiple pipes 31 are combined into one and sent to the nostrils 122 is also included in the present invention.

[0026] [Fourteenth embodiment] FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a fourteenth embodiment of the present invention. In the case of devices 21 with a small oxygen output as described above, by using them in parallel and inserting multiple pipes 31 into the patient's anus 11, a large amount of oxygen can be continuously sent to the patient's anus 11, making this an invention that is extremely effective in helping the patient recover. Furthermore, ozone, which is mixed with or mixed with oxygen, is more effective when humidity is high, and the high humidity inside the anus improves efficiency. Incidentally, the case where the plurality of pipes 31 are joined together into one and inserted into the anus 11 is also included in the present invention.

[0027] Fifteenth Embodiment In the embodiment of the present invention that uses the above-mentioned foot pillow or lumbar pillow, devices and methods that do not use the oxygen generator therein or do not provide an oxygen generator in the foot pillow or lumbar pillow and use oxygen from an oxygen generator 2, 21 such as ECMO are also included in the present invention as a 15th embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] In addition to the above, various other variations and combinations are possible, all of which are included in the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]
