Description

An oral care vehicle for critically ill patients

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, and in particular to an oral care vehicle for critically ill patients.

Background technique

Invasive mechanical ventilation is a common respiratory treatment for critically ill patients, and endotracheal intubation is the main method of completing mechanical ventilation. For patients with invasive mechanical ventilation, a certain dose of sedatives is needed to achieve a sedative state, so as to avoid patient intolerance, human-machine confrontation and other adverse consequences caused by endotracheal intubation (such as high blood pressure, fast heart rate, irritability, frequent choking, endotracheal tube displacement, etc.). However, the sedative state will also bring certain side effects to patients, such as the patient's swallowing and choking reflexes are significantly weakened, oral secretions (saliva) cannot be swallowed or spit out, and accumulate in the mouth for a long time, which is easy to become a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, endotracheal intubation patients have a relatively serious bad breath after opening their mouths, which is similar to the breath of healthy people after getting up in the morning, and is also caused by the reproduction of bacteria in the mouth overnight. Therefore, healthy people need to brush their teeth twice a day, while critically ill patients need nurses to perform daily oral care to maintain oral hygiene.

Oral care is one of the daily care tasks for critically ill patients. The commonly used oral care method in clinical practice is to use a cotton ball soaked in mouthwash or an ordinary oral care toothbrush to clean the patient's oral mucosa and teeth. The main problems with this method are: first, some of the accumulated fluid during cleaning will flow into the oral cavity. The negative pressure device of the existing toothbrush is mostly set at the brush head position, and it is impossible to deeply clean the accumulated fluid in the oral cavity. When the existing toothbrush is provided with a long negative pressure pipe, it is difficult to achieve oral cleaning because the pipe is too long; second, cotton balls or toothbrushes are mostly disposable, and too much medical waste will be generated in daily care.

In actual practice, it takes a long time to cure critically ill patients. There are many critically ill patients in the hospital, and more patients need oral care. However, medical staff need too many things during care, which is inconvenient for them to carry, slowing down the progress of oral care.
