JP5651488B2 - Mouth device and method for generating negative pressure in the oral cavity - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a system and method for relieving upper airway obstruction of a kind of sleep sleep apnea (OSA) patient and a sputum patient, and in particular, a mouth for generating negative pressure in the oral cavity. The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method thereof.

  Sleep apnea (OSA) is a type of symptom in which a patient collapses with overlapping airways during the inspiratory period and can form airway obstruction during sleep. During the inspiration period, the air pressure in the lungs and airways decreases. If the muscle activity of the upper airway decreases at this time, the airway tends to collapse. Prior to airway obstruction, the airway narrows and the patient begins to scratch. Acupuncture is a kind of phenomenon that the patient tries to counter the depressed airway. Depending on the patient, these disorders can occur at different locations in the airway, but the throat and nasopharynx are two common locations.

  Patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea feel daytime, drowsiness, malaise, lack of concentration and the like. In addition to these immediate problems, research has shown that patients with sleep apnea use a relatively large amount of medical resources, are at high risk of losing medical practice, and ultimately increase mortality.

  Considering all examples, the mortality rate for patients with severe sleep apnea is expected to be 3-6 times higher. Sleep apnea is also concealed by many cardiovascular diseases such as systemic hypertension and some pulmonary hypertension. Sleep apnea can increase the risk of myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease and heart rate irregularities.

  Since sleep apnea patients are interrupted in the sleep state at night, they sleep excessively during the day, and they tend to have a lack of concentration. The patient's daytime function is impaired due to a decrease in the patient's nerve discrimination function. They can also make mistakes and cause traffic accidents. This can have severe negative consequences if sleep apnea is not treated.

  There are currently several types of treatment for patients with sleep apnea. Oral appliances are used to treat moderate sleep apnea, but they usually do not work well and can damage the patient's gums and teeth.

  There are surgeries that treat sleep apnea, but such surgical actions are invasive, expensive, painful, and usually require 6 months to recover.

  The most common treatment method for moderate to severe sleep apnea in adults is a method employing CPAP (Constant Positive Airway Pressure Machine). CPAP consists of a mask, a pump and a humidifier. CPAP continuously sends high-pressure air into the patient's nasal passages, allowing the patient to maintain airway circulation during the sleep period.

  CPAP is quite effective, but can cause unpleasant side effects such as dry throat and clogging of the nasal passages. Patients using CPAP may feel swelling and headache early in the morning. CPAP also makes users and their families feel annoying and uncomfortable. CPAP is currently the frontline and excellent treatment modality, but the severe side effects it causes make it less adaptable.

  One type of improved method is to maintain airway circulation by providing negative pressure in the patient's mouth and pulling the patient's tongue and soft palate forward by the negative pressure. For example, there are Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3.

  However, even though it is theoretically feasible, all of these known techniques use large structures to secure the teeth or hold and position the tongue. Furthermore, negative pressure is applied directly to the soft tissue of the tongue, holding the tongue in place in the oral cavity. Such methods occupy a lot of space in the oral cavity and can cause tooth, gum and soft tissue discomfort and damage. Also, the presence of a relatively large device causes excessive saliva secretion and nausea.

  Another major drawback of such a method is that surgical dissection with these oral devices, tooth caps, must provide a customized oral interface for each patient by specialized technicians.

It creates a negative pressure in the oral cavity with a mini-type mouth interface. This mini-type interface is firmly connected to the mouth so that the patient's upper and lower lips cannot be closed during the patient's sleep period.

  This mini-type mouth interface provides a mechanism that automatically closes the mouth before the device creates negative pressure, and in certain situations when it is necessary to open the mouth (eg coughing, sneezing, distraction) For example) when the patient is open.

  This negative pressure draws the patient's tongue to the upper palate and the soft palate to the front. By moving the tongue and soft tissue forward, the circulation of the upper respiratory tract approaching the pharyngeal part is maintained, and respiratory disturbance during sleep is prevented.

  This negative pressure draws the lips inward and closes the mouth, preventing air from entering the mouth from the outside. This negative pressure also creates a seal that pulls the soft palate into contact with the posterior surface of the tongue and prevents air from entering the oral cavity through the nasal respiratory tube.

  The method of creating negative pressure in the oral cavity of the present invention includes connecting the mouth device to a negative pressure source and automatically determining whether the patient's mouth is open, or the patient's sleep period and other When the situation is observed and it is detected that the patient's mouth is open, the mouth is automatically closed and the mouth is prevented from opening, and the pump is activated only when necessary to keep the air inside the patient's mouth. Is a very high performance, quiet, comfortable and easy to use for the patient.

  9A and 9B are front views of a ninth embodiment of the mouth device of the present invention. 9A is a display diagram when the user's mouth is closed, and FIG. 9B is a display diagram when the user's mouth is opened. The mouth device includes an upper adhesive member 910, a lower adhesive member 920, a fixing member 930, a connecting portion 940, and a driven expansion / contraction member 950.

  The upper adhesive member 910 and the lower adhesive member 920 may have different thicknesses and elasticity. The upper adhesive member 910 and the lower adhesive member 920 may be formed of, for example, silicone resin, elastic plastic, or other pad material coated with an adhesive material.

  As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, when in the starting state, the length of the telescoping articulation 940 closes the user's mouth. When the user needs to open his mouth (for example, when coughing, sneezing, or distracting), the upper lip and the lower lip apply a tensile force via the fixed member 930 and the driven elastic member 950, respectively. This is applied to the portion 940, and the telescopic connecting portion 940 is stretched, whereby the distance between the fixing member 930 and the telescopic connecting portion 940 is increased, that is, the user's mouth is opened.

  For example, after the user sneezes, the upper lip and the lower lip do not apply any further tensile force to the telescopic connecting part 940 via the fixing member 930 and the driven elastic member 950. Due to its own material relationship, it automatically returns to its starting length, ie, the telescopic connecting part 940 provides a restoring force to the upper lip and the lower lip via the fixing member 930 and the driven elastic member 950. Close the user's mouth.
