Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid assembly-type oxygen mask holder, for independent and separate use, which is attached to a conventional oxygen mask being worn by a patient, requiring no modifications to the oxygen mask, and which is designed to keep the oxygen mask from coming off or getting out of position, while allowing the oxygen mask to be attached or detached quickly.SOLUTION: This solid assembly-type oxygen mask holder is made up of a plurality of deformed T-shaped flat members, with a rubber string catch clip 17 attached and some connector tapes adhered or sewed thereto which are all put in place. After assembled, these members form a three-dimensional shape, which then is put on the head of a patient wearing an oxygen mask 14, with the rubber string catch clip 17 holding an unused portion of the rubber string 15 of the oxygen mask 14, so that the oxygen mask 14 can hardly come off or get out of position due to frictional resistance.

Description

  It relates to an oxygen mask.

Patent application title: Hat type oxygen mask JP 2005-253925 JP-A-2008-154899 Oxygen mask that does not cause discomfort to the wearer

    A conventional method of wearing an oxygen mask is used by turning one rubber strap from a patient's ear to the head. Patients who suffer from frequent accidents such as bleeding and bleeding due to rubber pressure when used intermittently for a long period of time, oxygen masks deviate from the nose, and if left for several hours, oxygen is not supplied to the brain, resulting in hypoxic encephalopathy Is in danger of becoming a plant. The frequent monitoring of nurses is necessary, and the current situation of nurse shortages is still an important issue.

The on-site nurse staff has a serious problem in which the responsibility of the nurse and the hospital is pursued if the patient dies due to oversight or other factors on duty. It is also a critical issue for national hospitals that must resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Since most of the patients wearing oxygen masks are displaced, there is no choice but to make a mistake, and there is a false recognition paralysis that is taken for granted.

  Means for solving the above-mentioned problems are as follows: (1) The oxygen mask can be quickly mounted on the oxygen mask misalignment prevention device without modifying the existing oxygen mask. (2) The oxygen mask should not be displaced even when facing the body or lying on its back. (3) Oxygen mask may be separated from the patient by aspiration several times a day, and it should be possible to detach from the oxygen mask quickly and safely. The above three points are the most important matters. Therefore, select a flexible material that is gentle to the skin even if it is in contact with the skin for a long time, and can easily remove materials that are strong against tension and difficult to dislodge from the skin. The above-mentioned important points have been solved, and an assembled three-dimensional oxygen mask misalignment prevention device that has been separated from the oxygen mask and made independent has been devised and solved. Solutions are described below.

Means (1) A solution that can be quickly attached to the oxygen mask misalignment prevention device without modification to the existing oxygen mask is a rubber string attached to all the existing oxygen masks. The focus of the present invention is to fix the rubber strap at an angle where the oxygen mask does not shift using the extra rubber strap portion, and to discover that the oxygen mask does not come off unless the fixed rubber strap moves. Adopted means.
Means (2) Means for preventing the oxygen mask from being displaced even if the body is in a heeled state or a supine state are cut out of a flat member into various shapes such as a modified T-shape and a situation, and are necessary in various places. A simple bonding uneven part and a rubber string retaining clip were attached, and the remaining rubber string of the oxygen mask was quickly sandwiched and fixed. The assembled three-dimensional oxygen mask misalignment prevention device of the present invention has a shape that is assembled into a three-dimensional structure and put on the patient's head. By making the ratio of the area where the patient's hair touches the pillow and the assembly hat type oxygen mask slip prevention tool the area of contact with the latter as much as possible, the stability becomes extremely high and the oxygen mask does not slip.

Hundreds of thousands of patients need oxygen masks at hospitals in Japan and abroad. The invention of the oxygen mask that does not shift has the following effects. (1) If the conventional oxygen mask is used intermittently, the rubber pressure is applied to the patient's ear and bleeding occurs, so that the rubber string cannot be applied and the use of the oxygen mask is difficult. Since the protective gear cannot be removed, the worry is gone. (2) When the oxygen mask was used, there was a risk that the patient's lips and the mouth were dry and rough, and the secretions adhered firmly in the mouth and the mass entered the trachea, resulting in death from suffocation. In order to relieve dryness in the mouth, gauze containing water was placed on the side of the oxygen mask for treatment, but the oxygen mask was displaced, so the relaxation measure was meaningless and no longer worried.
Also, it is important that nurses remove the oxygen mask from the patient several times a day by suction and other checks, so that it can be quickly and safely detached from the oxygen mask. It was possible to solve the problem by using the designed three-dimensional oxygen mask displacement prevention device.

    The current situation of the hospital is that 8 out of 10 patients with conventional oxygen masks are out of use. With a person in charge such as a medical accident involving a rubber pressure on the ear and injury resulting from invasion of gonorrhea and other diseases, oxygen supply to the brain, hypoxic encephalopathy, death after plant condition, etc. There was a big risk on the hospital side, too, and it was necessary to keep an eye on the nurse's frequent patrols. Although the hospital was worried under severe conditions due to the shortage of nurses, the above-mentioned problems could be solved by the invention of the oxygen mask that does not deviate, the risk of the hospital was reduced, and labor costs were reduced. In other words, it has a tremendous effect such as greatly contributing to the reduction of medical expenses in the country.

    The assembled three-dimensional oxygen mask misalignment prevention device configured as described above is an instrument that is separated from the oxygen mask and can be quickly installed without modification to the existing oxygen mask. is there. Although the oxygen mask does not shift even if the body is in a supine or heeled state, the oxygen mask may be separated from the patient by several times a day of suction, etc., but it is easy and safe to detach from the oxygen mask. Preferably it is possible. In carrying out the invention, the above points are the most important modes for carrying out the invention.

    Most patients who require oxygen masks have poor normal judgment and ability to operate, and must have a structure that makes it difficult to remove the oxygen mask even if it does not want to be removed. I must. In addition, without making any changes to all the oxygen mask manufacturers in Japan and overseas, the oxygen mask is made to be in a form that does not shift by using the remainder of the rubber straps that are passed through both sides of the oxygen mask.

    As will be described with reference to the drawings in Examples in clinical trials, FIG. 1 is a patient wearing an oxygen mask, and the oxygen mask is displaced from the nose in a short time as shown in FIG. In this state, the rubber string is extended, and rubber pressure is applied to the ear to cause bleeding. Most of the patients except the patient who cannot move the mouth and jaw in the plant state are in the same state. [FIG. 3] is a treatment state diagram in which the oxygen mask is displaced, the ears are cut and bleeding due to rubber pressure, and a cloth or gauze is applied. Even if it does in this way, since a mask will shift | deviate immediately, regular monitoring by a nurse etc. is indispensable and the labor is serious.

  [FIG. 4] is an oxygen mask misalignment prevention device initial trial clinical test diagram. As shown in this figure, the rubber strap of the oxygen mask is removed from the ear, turned to the neck, and stretched to the center of the head and stopped. The effect was observed within 30 to 50 degrees with respect to the rubber cords that were turned around the neck. However, in clinical trials, such as when the patient's body is placed sideways or when the patient moves the head, several belt belts that are turned around the head have little area in contact with the pillow, and the hair is entangled I slipped and changed the position. I discovered the basic principle that was not misplaced in the 8th trial production, and devised the following with improvements.

[FIG. 5] is an exploded right side portion of the assembled three-dimensional oxygen mask misalignment prevention device. The flat member is cut into the shape of the deformed T-shaped right side panel (2) and plays a role in each portion (4 ), Under the bag headband (5), and under the top headband (6), and bonding tape A (12) is bonded or sewn and fixed. In addition, the rounded portions of the ear protection portion (8) are provided at several places, and a plurality of rubber strap fastening clips (17) are adhered or sewn and fixed as necessary.

  [FIG. 6] is an exploded left side portion of the assembled three-dimensional oxygen mask misalignment prevention device. The flat member is cut out in the shape of the deformed T-shaped left side panel (3), and plays a role in each portion. The bag headband (10) and the top headband (11) are provided, and the bonding tape A (12) is bonded or sewn and fixed. In addition, the rounded portions of the ear protection portion (8) are provided at several places, and a plurality of rubber strap fastening clips (17) are adhered or sewn and fixed as necessary.

  As shown in FIG. 7, an exploded perspective view of the assembled three-dimensional oxygen mask misalignment prevention device before assembling, two parts of a modified T-shaped right side panel (2) and a modified T-shaped left side panel (3) FIG. 10 is an explanatory view of a method of assembling a three-dimensional mold, in which the joining tape A (12) and the joining tape B (13) are bonded or sewn and fixed, and the detachable joining tape is entangled. Thus, it can be adjusted according to the head of the patient (20).

    A normal method of using an oxygen mask is to attach an elastic band to an ear as shown in [FIG. 1], [FIG. 2] and [FIG. 3]. As will be described in FIG. 10 with respect to the method of mounting the assembled three-dimensional oxygen mask displacement prevention device (1) of the present invention, the oxygen mask rubber string (16) attached to the oxygen mask (14) is the neck of the patient (20). The oxygen mask surplus rubber string (15) is sandwiched in the groove (19) of the rubber string gripping tongue (18) of the rubber string retaining clip (17) shown in FIG. 9 and stopped once or twice. . The method is reassuring because the oxygen mask surplus rubber string (15) can be quickly attached and detached and the oxygen mask (14) cannot be removed when worn on the patient (20).

To date, no oxygen mask is sold in Japan, and no oxygen mask with a device that does not shift the oxygen mask is sold. Items related to oxygen masks must be approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare as medical devices. If an oxygen mask slip prevention device is sold together with an oxygen mask, it will take a considerable amount of time and enormous investment until it becomes a medical device and takes a considerable amount of time to be approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Until then, the lives of thousands and tens of thousands of people will not be lost.
The assembled three-dimensional oxygen mask displacement prevention device of the present invention can be used separately from the oxygen mask, so it is approved for handling miscellaneous goods instead of medical devices. Even if it is not applied, the hospital must purchase and use it. In addition, it is an epoch-making invention that helps to reduce medical expenses and hospital expenses. Industrial applicability is infinite and its economic effects can be expected.
