Artificial pneumatic cough assisting device and assisting method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an artificial pneumatic cough assisting device and an assisting method.
Background
Currently, the tracheal intubation technology is widely used in rescuing and nursing of critical patients, the glottis of the patients using the tracheal intubation are limited by the intubation, even if the patients are conscious, the glottis can not be closed autonomously, so that autonomous cough can not be generated, sputum in the respiratory tract of the patients is deposited, mucus embolism can be generated to block the respiratory tract, tiny and undischarged pulmonary lobule or alveolus can be formed, inflammation is caused or aggravated, oxygenation is reduced, and even dyspnea, asphyxia and other conditions occur. Therefore, it is important to discharge the sputum in the respiratory tract, especially in deep part.
The prior art mainly adopts a sputum suction tube and auxiliary sputum discharging equipment to clean sputum. The sputum aspirator technique is to slowly pull the rotating sputum aspirator after inserting the sputum aspirator from the oral cavity or nasal cavity of the patient to a certain depth. The method is low in price and thorough in cleaning, but is easy to cause infection of patients, and meanwhile, a nurse is required to perform timing manual operation, and the nurse is required to have high technical level and abundant experience. The technique of the auxiliary sputum excretion device is that the sputum excretion device sequentially applies positive and negative pressure through a mask or a catheter connected to the artificial respiratory tract, thereby deeply breathing (blowing) into the lungs, followed by immediate (10 ms) deep exhalation (inhalation). The purpose of insufflation is to fill the lungs, while the purpose of inhalation is to empty the lungs of air. The rapid transition from positive to negative pressure is intended to mimic the airflow changes that occur during normal cough, which helps clear secretions. Which can make up for the shortages of inspiration and expiration. Parameter adjustment of the auxiliary sputum excretion device involves adjusting the positive and negative pressure, the inspiration, expiration and pause times (seconds) and the inspiration flow rate (L/min). A mechanical inhalation and exhalation process typically includes multiple phases, such as cough and rest periods. These cycle periods are repeated several times or not ended until the secretions are substantially expelled.
It is easy to see that the sputum suction technique of the sputum suction tube requires the medical staff to operate regularly, meanwhile, the medical staff is required to have higher technical level and abundant experience, the technique is easy to increase the risk of infection in hospitals and is painful, the auxiliary sputum discharge equipment is relatively expensive, and meanwhile, the parameter setting and sputum suction time also need long-term experience of the medical staff to be completed smoothly. Therefore, the existing sputum suction tube and auxiliary sputum discharging device auxiliary sputum discharging mode is limited by operation experience and defects of the device, and better using effect is not brought to patients.
Therefore, how to provide a sputum excretion auxiliary apparatus with simple structure, convenient operation and low cost is a problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the invention provides an artificial pneumatic cough auxiliary device, which combines a pneumatic switching valve with a simple air bag, has simple integral structure, low cost and convenient operation. Solves the problems of complex structure, large operation difficulty coefficient and higher cost of the traditional auxiliary sputum excretion device.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
In one aspect, the invention provides an artificial pneumatic cough auxiliary device, which comprises a pneumatic switching valve and an air bag, wherein the pneumatic switching valve is a normally open valve body, the pneumatic switching valve is arranged along a ventilation air pipe and is arranged at a position close to the mouth of a patient, and the air bag is arranged outside the body and is connected with the pneumatic switching valve through a pipeline.
The device has the advantages that the device combines the pneumatic control switch valve with the simple air bag, the patient can hold breath through the pneumatic control switch valve, the air bag held by the hand comes from the main control breath holding time, when the patient feels that the patient needs to cough, the patient can inhale deeply by himself, and before exhaling, the air bag is held tightly, so that the pneumatic control switch valve is closed and then loosened, and higher air outlet flow is formed, thereby achieving the purposes of clearing sputum in a small air passage, promoting the control of pulmonary infection and the rehabilitation of the patient, reducing the risk of nosocomial infection, and the device has simple integral structure, lower cost and convenient operation.
Further, the valve port area of the pneumatic control switch valve is larger than or equal to 11.8mm 2.
During normal cough, high pressure of 40KPa can be generated in the lung, and the patient can reach the pressure in the lung of 30 KPa.
According to the ISO6358 international standard, the mass flow formula through a proportional valve can be obtained:
Wherein q is the gas mass flow, A in is the effective cross-sectional area of the solenoid valve, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, p s is the airway pressure, and also is the patient side inlet pressure, and b is the critical pressure ratio. In the working process, the ventilation pressure range is consistent with that of the breathing machine, and is 0-40 cmH 2 O, then p s/pf is always larger than the critical pressure ratio b, so the mathematical model of the electromagnetic proportional valve is as follows:
the volumetric flow equation is as follows:
Where Q is the volumetric flow rate and p a is the air density, then one can obtain:
the device was operated at standard atmospheric pressure at 20℃and an air density of 1.185kg/m 3. Since b is 0.528 and R is 287J/(kg.K), the valve port area of the pneumatic switching valve is required to be 11.8mm 2 or more.
Further, the distance between the pneumatic control switch valve and the mouth of the patient is 10 cm-25 cm. The pneumatic control switch valve is arranged along the ventilation air pipe, so that the air pipe connecting line of the pneumatic control part and the air bag is relatively short, the pneumatic control part can respond to the action of a patient relatively quickly, and meanwhile, the control circuit is short, so that the disorder and winding of various pipelines are avoided.
In another aspect, the present invention also provides an artificial pneumatic cough assisting method, which uses the device described above, comprising the steps of:
Before deep inspiration end expiration, the air bag is extruded, so that the pneumatic control switch valve is closed;
when the pressure in the lung is maximum, the air bag is released, so that the pneumatic control switch valve is quickly opened;
The high expiratory flow pushes out the sputum, thus completing the auxiliary sputum discharge once.
Compared with the sputum suction technology of a sputum suction pipe, the method is beneficial to discharging and draining sputum and secretion in a deep small airway of a patient, so that the control and absorption of pulmonary infection are promoted, the time for retaining trachea cannula and mechanical ventilation of the patient is shortened, the hospitalization time is shortened, the risk of related infection of a breathing machine is reduced, medical and health resources are saved, the feeling of the patient is simultaneously followed, the cough time is mastered better, compared with the existing auxiliary sputum discharge equipment, the method is cheaper, the experience limit of medical staff is relatively reduced, and the method has an auxiliary effect on the exercise and rehabilitation of the sputum capacity of the patient.
