Description

Artificial airway protection device {Protecting apparatus for artificial airway}

The present invention relates to an artificial airway protection device, and more particularly, to a device mounted on the wearer's face to protect the artificial airway and face.

An artificial airway is a device that helps a patient with respiratory insufficiency to breathe by creating an artificial airway through tracheal intubation or tracheostomy when adequate ventilation or oxygen supply is insufficient. . The artificial airway can be inserted into the nose in special cases, but in most cases, due to its nature, it is inserted into the patient's mouth and neck and is forced to be fixed near the mouth and neck. As a result, when the patient's posture is frequently changed for therapeutic purposes such as prevention of pressure sores or acute respiratory distress syndrome, the external force due to the change in posture is transmitted directly or indirectly to the artificial airway, and the patient himself is extubated or artificial airway If an external force is applied to it, a dangerous situation may result.

In particular, even if the external force is transmitted to the patient for a short period of time, if such a posture change is repeated, when the critical point of force is reached, airway resistance increases due to direct deformation of the artificial airway or gap or deviation from the patient's airway. For this reason, effective artificial ventilation cannot occur. This can seriously affect the patient's body, such as hypoxia or lung damage.

Such prior art is technical information possessed by the inventor for derivation of the present invention or acquired during the derivation process of the present invention, and cannot necessarily be referred to as known art disclosed to the general public prior to filing the present invention.
