Description

 The invention relates to medicine, namely to devices for the treatment of children with acute stenosis of the upper respiratory tract.

 Known device for oxygen therapy of children DKP-1, designed for individual oxygen and aerosol therapy of sick children with pulmonary and cardiovascular insufficiency / tent Shalkova Yu.F., Isakov Yu.F. "Onxigenotherapy and hyperbaric oxygenation in children" M .: Medicine, 1981 /.

 The palataka contains a plexiglass cap with an opening for the patient’s head. A fitting for oxygen input and an ejection type atomizer for medicinal aerosols are installed in the housing. A thermometer is installed inside the cap, and a refrigerator compartment is mounted in the rear.

 The disadvantage of the tent is the imperfection of the oxygen humidification system.

 A treatment chamber is also known, the essence of which is that the treatment chamber contains a base, a transparent case with an opening for the patient’s head, a device for supplying moistened oxygen, medicinal aerosols and hot steam and a device for controlling temperature, a device for controlling air humidity and percentage oxygen, a device for supplying medicinal aerosols, which is made in the form of an ultrasonic inhaler, the upper body arch has the shape of a half-cylinder. On the base, along the side walls of the casing, there are gutters for collecting condensate, from the end of which there are pipes for supplying steam and a fitting for draining condensate. In the hole for the patient’s head is a protective partition made of fabric.

 See, for example, the invention of the "Treatment chamber" RI 2000763, A 61 C 10/00. We take her for the prototype.

The disadvantages of the above treatment chamber
1. Mixing of oxygen, treatment mixture and steam is not uniform, in different parts of the tent - steam rises up the tent along the walls, and oxygen and treatment mixture are directed to the patient’s head. As a result, the treatment mixture is unevenly heated and mixed with steam, which reduces the therapeutic effect.

 2. Metal pipes supplying oxygen and aerosol are close to the child’s head and can injure him.

 3. The ultrasonic inhaler creates aerosols that contain particles up to 5 microns and in the treatment of OSVDP "it is recommended to use an inhaler that gives medium aerosol particles" / M.Ya. Studenikin, I.P. Koryukina, 1992.

 4. The time of continuous operation is limited to 12 hours, every 20-30 minutes it is necessary to add the treatment mixture to the ultrasound machine.

 5. The child should stay in one position for a long time - only the head should be in the tent, it is impossible to put the whole child in the tent, because steam flows along the walls.

 6. The temperature regime of the tent requires constant monitoring and adjustment.

 The proposed treatment tent eliminates the above disadvantages.

The invention is illustrated by graphic materials, where in FIG. 1 shows a treatment chamber — general view;
FIG. 2 - a device for the preparation of therapeutic mixtures.

The proposed treatment tent contains:
1. Crib
2. Tent hull
3. Bed for a child
4. The back wall of the tent
5. Tent inlet
6. Tent canopy
7. Steam tank
8. Heater
9. Support for a tank
10. The union for filling water in a tank 7 with a stopper
11. The safety valve on a tank 7
12. The steam supply fitting on the tank 7
13. Steam line
14. Expansion chamber for condensate collection
15. Steam connection to the mixing chamber
16. The stationary part of the mixing chamber
17. Removable part of the mixing chamber
18. Holes in the stationary part of the mixing chamber for the mixture to exit into the tent
19. Injector for mixing oxygen and medicine
20. Oxygen supply to the nozzle
21. The nozzle for supplying medicine to the nozzle
22. Condensate discharge pipe from the expansion chamber to the condensate tank
23. Tank for condensate discharge
24. Air condensate tank
25. Water
26. Patient
27. Drain from the mixing chamber
The treatment chamber works as follows.

Water is poured into the tank 7 for cooking steam. Turn on the heater 8 to the desired mode. The water is heated to 100 ^o C and the steam enters through the expansion chamber 14, where large particles are retained, into the mixing chamber 16-17.

 Condensed particles of steam settle to the bottom of the expansion chamber 14, through the pipe 22 they fall into the tank for collecting condensate 23.

 After the desired steam supply mode is set, oxygen is supplied through the nozzle 20. Upon reaching the desired mode through the pipe 21 is fed medicine.

 Thus, oxygen, spraying the treatment mixture, forms an aerosol, mixes with steam - it warms up and is additionally moistened. Large droplets of aerosol and steam settle on the walls of the mixing chamber and a homogeneous aerosol with steam enters the treatment chamber. The particle size of the aerosol is controlled by the feed rate of the treatment mixture and the oxygen supply rate.

 After the desired mode of supply of aerosol, medicine and steam is established, the patient 27 is placed in the tent. Then the canopy of the tent 6 is pulled.

 The procedure can last as long as the patient needs.

 The steam generator can work without refueling during the day. The treatment mixture is added once every five hours or as needed.

 Technical appraisal and economic benefits of the proposed treatment chamber.

 1. Oxygen and the treatment mixture are mixed with steam in a closed volume of the mixing chamber, and therefore they are well warmed up and moistened and already uniformly warmed up are fed into the tent.

 2. Safe to use, as large drops of boiling water and steam settle in the expansion chamber, smaller drops in the mixing chamber, there is a safety valve on the steam generator, / i.e. triple protection available.

 3. A significant amount of the treatment tent allows you to place the child inside her, providing the necessary comfort.

 4. Particle size is adjusted according to need.

 5. Can work an unlimited amount of time. The treatment mixture is added once every five hours of continuous operation. The steam generator can work without refueling for 24 hours.

 6. The temperature of the tent and humidity do not require constant monitoring and adjustment, because the set mode is initially stably maintained for a long time.

 7. In the absence of a centralized oxygen supply or for children with compensated respiratory failure, the treatment chamber can operate from a membrane-type medical compressor.

 8. The proposed treatment tent does not require special staff, it is served by honey. the staff.
