Abstract

Oral tracheal intubation mechanical ventilation is an important life support method. For elderly patients with loose teeth, improper fixation of the tracheal intubation can lead to tooth loss. Traditional I-shaped tape or wire bonding fastening lacks rigid support, making it difficult to provide stable protection for loose teeth and removable dentures. The utility model is fixed by the teeth sleeve being installed in the installation slot. The movement of the teeth sleeve drives the inner magnet to move. When the inner magnet and the outer magnet are in the same horizontal state, the inner magnet attracts the outer magnet, and the position of the teeth sleeve can be fixed, achieving the advantage of preventing falling. It solves the problem that the existing teeth protector does not have the function of preventing falling during use, effectively ensuring the patient's life safety. (经口气管插管机械通气是一种重要的生命支持手段, 但牙齿松动的老年患者因牙周支持组织减退, 在插管及固定过程中极易发生牙齿脱落。传统的“工”字形胶带或线结固定缺乏刚性支撑, 难以对松动牙及活动义齿提供稳定的保护。本研究设计的新型装置利用精密滑轨与磁力效应对牙齿卡套的位置进行固定, 解决了现有的经口气管插管机患者牙齿保护器在使用时不具备防止掉落的功能, 能有效确保患者生命安全。)
