Abstract

This innovation is related to the improvement of a mask, which is used for anesthesia in babies/children preoperatively or to provide oxygen therapy or drug therapy to the babies/children with asthma, dyspnea or similar disorders, that allows acceptance of the mask.

Description

DESCRIPTION

THE PEDIATRIC MASK WITH FEEDING AND SEDATION FUNCTION

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention is about the innovation that allows acceptance of mask comfortably in infants and children for anesthesia induction or for oxygen and inhaler treatment in some clinical situations such as asthma and dispnea BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Nowadays infant / children have diseases that require surgery. Anxiety in infant / children may cause difficulties during anesthesia induction. For anesthesia induction in infants / children anesthetic gases is most often given through the mask. It is known that application a foreign object like facial mask to infant/child face presents some challenges and dealing with these challenges such as psychological trauma is very diffucult.

The most worrisome situation for infant / children is separation anxiety from their parents before surgery and fasting.

For infants and children who are not used to mask this situation is quite traumatic and this condition can lead to psychological problems after the surgery.

In the prior technique; the most commonly used method is to give the mask to the infantsVchilds' hand at the preoperative interview for helping the infant/child to be familiar to the anesthesia mask while they are playing with the mask. But in the operating room, anxiety in infant/child is often unavoidable during the anesthesia induction with the anesthesia mask .

Inhalers are often used with the help of mask. Many difficulties encountered while inhaled drugs need to be applied at home by mothers / fathers of the infant / child who are not experts. These difficulties may adversely affect the treatment process. In the pediatric intensive care unit respiratory masks are required in treatment.of some respiratory diseases. In some cases inhaler treatment with mask can cause some problems such as interruption of treatment for feeding purpose or not to feed patient while drugs were given by mask.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Distrust against unfamiliar objects need to be overcome in infants and children. This invention is concerned with the specific design of the mask adapted with passifier which gives confidence to infant/child when used in anesthesia induction and alimentation during the inhaler tretment, LIST OF FIGURES

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INNOVATION

This innovation is characterized by the mask (1 ) which is joining with pacifier (2) that has plugged/unplugged (1 .1 ) feeding canal (2.1 ). The pacifier, all babies and children are familiar and soothe their discomfort with is best helper for the parents. Babies' head and tongue are not proportional to the body and they are large, their larynx suited forwardly and superiorly (at the level of the C6 in adults and at the level of the C4 in babies). The anatomical features of the larynx make babies do nasal breathing therefore it is considered this reality when any management is carried out (applied) on these group of patients, babies. The mask in the shape of the pacifier, which is pacified the baby/child at the same time is aimed to make respiratory treatment or facilitate the anesthesia should be comprised these specifications. Otherwise the goal could not be achieved.

Available masks cover the nose so using these masks can bring about choking sensation to babies/children and make the some application difficult. But newly designed mask with (plugged/unplugged) pacifier can resolve all the technical problems.

During mask application, practitioner can cause soft tissue damage beneath the mandible of babies/children in cases of the using his/her hand even can cause upper respiratory tract obstruction. However with newly designed mask, just as babies/children suck the mask, it can be well suited to the face by itself. When the respiratory treatments are applied in intensive care unit, babies/children can be fed easily with the assistance of the pacifier which has feeding canal and it cannotinterrupt the treatment.

It will be appropriate to manufacture the mask in the shape of the pacifier with silicon-based and transparent materials because it is vital to realize earlier or prevent the some adverse conditions which can be obstructed the airway (e.g. secretion, vomit) during the treatment.

Claims
