This application claims and references priority under the provisions of Section 119 (e) of the United States Patent Act based on US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 729,516 filed on October 24, 2005. The contents of the provisional patent application are made a part of the present application.
The present invention relates to a patient interface for use in a pressure assist system for supplying a gas flow into a patient's airway, and more particularly to a patient interface comprising a support device having an integrated buffer and an integrated nasal pillow. Regarding materials.
For example, there are a number of situations where it is necessary or desirable to provide respiratory gas flow into a patient's airway without being noninvasively or surgically inserted into the patient's esophageal trachea. For example, it is known to ventilate a patient using a technique known as known non-invasive ventilation. It is also known to provide variable airway pressure or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) such as two-stage pressure that changes with the patient's respiratory cycle or automatic titration pressure that changes with the patient's monitoring status. Conventional pressure-assisted treatment is used to treat medical disorders such as sleep apnea syndrome, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), Chain Stokes respiratory disease or congestive heart failure.
In non-invasive ventilation pressure assisted therapy, a nasal mask, nasal / mouth mask or full face mask (full face mask) patient interface material must usually be mounted on the patient's face. When a ventilator or pressure support system is gas-connected to the patient's trachea through the patient interface, a breathing gas stream is delivered from the gas flow generator or gas pressure generator to the patient's airway.
Since patient interface materials are usually worn for a long time, various issues must be considered. For example, when providing continuous positive airway pressure to treat obstructive sleep apnea, the patient must always wear the patient interface throughout the night. In this situation, if the patient interface material cannot be worn as comfortably as possible, there is a problem that the patient refuses to wear the interface material device and cannot achieve the predetermined pressure assist treatment purpose. In addition, it is important that the patient's face be formed with a sufficiently tight sealing structure so that the patient does not feel uncomfortable wearing the patient interface material. If the mask is attached to the patient's face by preventing excessive leakage of gas in the vicinity of the mask, the mask is pressed against the patient's face with excessive force, and the patient often feels uncomfortable.
The patient interface material usually has a housing shell and a buffer (also referred to as a sealing body or a sealing member) that are attached to the outer shell. A cushion placed on the patient's face contacts the patient's skin surface and seals the interface with the patient's face. The patient interface is held in place by a headgear assembly wound around the patient's head. The patient interface material and the headgear together form a patient interface assembly. The headgear assembly typically includes a flexible, adjustable strap that extends from the patient interface material, which attaches the patient interface material to the patient.
In addition to the patient interface material, a patient interface material provided with a nasal pillow for sealing the inside of the patient's nostril is also known. 1 is connected to a tubular gas delivery device, and a semi-rigid or rigid headgear 102 attached to the top of the head is attached to the gas delivery device. More specifically, the conventional nose pillow 104 shown in FIG. 1 is supported by an outer shell 106, and the outer shell 106 is connected to a rotating ring (swivel) 108, and the rotating ring 108 is connected to an overhead tube 110. Is connected to a gas source 112. A headgear 102 attached to the patient's crown fixes the headgear assembly in place so that the patient's breathing gas passing through the nasal pillow can be properly transported. There are other alternative devices (not shown) for winding a flexible tube around the patient's face or ear instead of the overhead tube of FIG.
Conventional nasal pillows function well, but further improvements are desirable. For example, current nasal pillows can compress the patient's nostrils with a nasal pillow to form a suitable sealing structure between the nostril and the nasal pillow to ensure that the nasal pillow is placed on the patient's face. Many. Also, it is often necessary to use a fairly large and bulky headgear assembly to securely hold and position the patient interface. As clearly shown in FIG. 1, the nasal pillow extends upward in a hook shape. This hook shape tends to cause the patient's discomfort by forcibly lifting the patient's nose upward. Second, the patient interface has the advantage of minimizing contact with the patient's face, but the point of creating a lifting force concentrated in a small area is also a drawback of the patient interface. In addition, it may be necessary to provide a number of adjustments in the headgear assembly to ensure that the patient interface is in place to form a suitable sealing structure. Also, a nasal pillow that lacks the necessary stability ultimately sacrifices the seal between the patient and the nasal pillow.
Therefore, there is a need for new improvements in patient interface materials with nasal pillows.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve one or more defects among the plurality of defects in the prior art. This object is achieved by one embodiment of the present invention having a patient interface for use by a patient, molded as a single unitary structure comprising a member having an outer edge and a septum formed integrally with the member. Is done. The internal cavity of the patient interface is divided by a septum into a first chamber that houses the patient's nose and a second chamber. A pair of nasal pillows that are integrally formed with the septum protrudes from the septum toward the first chamber and when the patient interface material is operably mounted on the patient's face, the pair of nasal pillows are in the patient's nostrils. Inserted completely or partially. The member comprises a fluid connection and integrally formed connection to the second chamber and delivers gas to and discharges gas from the patient through a pair of nasal pillows.
In another embodiment of the present invention, an integral and unitary patient interface that forms an internal cavity, and a dividing means that divides the internal cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber that contain the patient's nose. With. The patient interface comprises projecting means projecting from the dividing means toward the first chamber, the projecting means delivering gas to and exhausting gas from at least one nostril of the patient. Finally, the patient interface comprises connecting means fluidly connected to the second chamber, the connecting means delivering gas to the patient and expelling gas from the patient through the second chamber and delivery means.
In yet another embodiment, the present invention relates to a patient interface used by a patient. The patient interface material includes a pair of protrusions for delivering gas. A pair of protrusions extends from the septum, the septum divides the patient interface material into a first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber being operable on the patient's face. When mounting, the patient's nose is accommodated, and the pair of protrusions extends into the first chamber, the second chamber sends gas to the pair of protrusions through the second chamber, and from the protrusions. It has a connection part (port) for discharging gas.
The foregoing and other objects, features and characteristics of the present invention, and related elements of the structure will be understood from the following description of the accompanying drawings, the appended claims, and the entire description of the specification, showing corresponding parts of each figure by reference numerals. The method of operation and function, the combination of parts and the manufacturing economy will be clear. It will be appreciated, however, that the drawings are for purposes of illustration and description only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise stated, the terms “a”, “an”, and “the” as used in the specification and claims include the plural.
In the present invention, each reference numeral corresponding to each member is described in the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the present invention relates to a patient interface material 10 including a member 11. The member 11 includes an outer shell 12 and a buffer body 13, and the buffer body 13 is a patient interface material. It has an outer edge 14 that surrounds an opening 16 that communicates with ten internal cavities 18. The shock absorber 13 includes a flange 20, and in the illustrated embodiment, the flange 20 extends outwardly from the internal cavity 18 to form an additional space of the internal cavity 18.
2 to 4, as shown in FIG. 5, the patient interface material 10 is provided with a partition wall 22 that divides the internal cavity 18 into a first chamber 24 and a second chamber 26. 24 houses the patient's nose. The patient interface material 10 further includes a pair of nose pillows 28. The pair of nose pillows 28 is formed integrally with the partition wall 22 and protrudes toward the first chamber 24, and the patient's face A shown in FIG. When the patient interface 10 is operatively attached, the nasal pillow 28 is fully or partially inserted into the patient's nostril.
The patient interface material 10 has an integrally formed port (connecting portion) 30 that is fluidly connected to the second chamber 26, and sends gas to the patient through the integrally formed port 30 and the nasal pillow 28 and discharges the gas from the patient. To do. Any known suitable breathing gas can be used for the gas delivered to the patient. The gas can be supplied to the patient through the gas supply source 32 and the gas delivery pipe 34.
As shown in FIG. 7 together with all the previous drawings, the patient interface material 10 is provided with an expansion / contraction part (bellows part) 36 formed between each nose pillow 28 and the partition wall 22. Each nose pillow 28 is movably connected to the partition wall 22 by the expansion and contraction of each expansion / contraction part 36. As shown in FIG. 7, the stretchable part 36 is a curved diaphragm. However, various other forms of stretch 36 can be used without departing from the scope of the present invention. Each telescopic portion 36 allows the corresponding nasal pillow 28 to be moved to easily align and insert the nasal pillow 28 into the patient's nostril or nasal cavity. It is desirable to provide each nose pillow 28 with an elliptical hemispherical portion 38 having a hole 40 at the apex of each nose pillow 28. However, the present invention should not be limitedly interpreted by this configuration. Various other geometric configurations may be used without departing from the scope of the present invention.
As clearly shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the partition wall 22 is inclined downward from the upper position of the connecting portion 30 to a position around the bottom surface of the opening 16. Except for the case where a hole 40 forming a dedicated passage for the gas flow path is provided at the apex of the nose pillow 28, a substantially tight airtight sealing structure is formed by the partition wall 22 between the first chamber 24 and the second chamber 26. It is desirable to do.
The septum 22 adjacent to the opening 16 has a pair of elliptical ends 42 that support the telescopic part 36 and the nasal pillow 28 in a movable or deformable position, so that the patient can operate on the patient's face A. When the interface material 10 is attached, an elongated hemispherical nasal pillow 28 can be inserted into the elliptical nostril. For example, as clearly shown in FIG. 5, the height of each end portion 42 can be adjacent to the opening portion 16 at the maximum, and the height can be decreased while the distance from the opening portion 16 is increased.
Additionally or alternatively, the height of each end 42 near the side of the outer shell 12 may be adjusted to the end near the longitudinal axis 44 of the patient interface 10 as required, as clearly shown in FIG. It may be higher than 42 heights. When the patient interface 10 is operably mounted on the patient's face A, each nose pillow 28 is tilted inwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis 44 due to the height difference, so that the nose in both nostrils of the patient having an approximately oval shape. The elliptical hemispherical portion 38 of the pillow 28 can be easily inserted.
When the patient interface material 10 is operably mounted on the patient's face A, each telescopic part 36 and each nasal pillow 28 can be easily placed at desired positions with respect to both nostrils having the elliptical shape of the patient. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the advantage of the oval end 42 is. However, since one function of the partition 22, the elliptical end 42 and the telescopic portion 36 can be realized in many suitable and suitable ways, the partition 22, the single or multiple elliptical ends 42 and / or one or both The above description regarding the stretchable portion 36 should not be construed as limiting the present invention. For example, each end 42 is omitted, and the lower part of each nose pillow 28 is modified so that the positioning function of the omitted end part 42 is substituted, for example, the lower part of each nose pillow 28 is formed in the shape of the omitted end part 42. It can be extended downward. If the nasal pillow 28 is changed in this way, the corresponding expansion / contraction part 36 can be connected between the lower part extending below the changed nasal pillow 28 and the partition wall 22.
As is apparent from the previous figures and FIGS. 8 and 9, the longitudinal axis 46 of each nose pillow 28 is arranged at an angle 48 relative to the longitudinal axis 44 of the patient interface material 10. An angle 48 at which each nose pillow 28 is inclined outward, an end 42 for rotating each nose pillow 28, an elliptical hemispherical portion 38 of each nose pillow 28 fitted to both nostrils of the patient, and a telescopic part 36 When the patient interface material 10 is operatively mounted on the patient's face A, in combination with the telescopic movement of each, the nasal pillows 28 fit snugly within the patient's nostril, in which case the fluid tight fit It is desirable to do. When the patient interface material 10 is operably mounted on the patient's face A, it is desirable to press (bias) the corresponding nasal pillow 28 in each nostril of the patient by each expansion / contraction part 36. However, this should not be construed as limiting the invention.
In other embodiments of the patient interface 10, as shown in FIGS. 10-12 in conjunction with all previous figures, the flange 20 is the first of the internal cavity so that the peripheral edge 14 faces the first chamber. Rounds or curves inwardly into the chamber 24. This embodiment is in contrast to the embodiment of the patient interface material 10 of FIGS. 2-9 where the flange 20 is curved outward from the first chamber 24. Unlike the flange 20 of FIGS. 2 to 9 that curves outwardly from the first chamber 24 and is curved, the flange 20 shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 is curved inward into the first chamber 24. The embodiment of the patient interface material 10 shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 is similar to the embodiment of the patient interface material 10 shown in FIGS. Accordingly, further detailed description of the embodiment of the patient interface material 10 shown in FIGS. 10-12 is omitted to avoid unnecessary redundant description.
As shown, the present invention relates to an integral or single patient interface for use by a patient. The patient interface material can be formed by any suitable molding method that forms a single structure such as injection molding, rotational molding, blow molding, and the like. At the completion of the manufacturing process, it is desirable to form the patient interface material from a suitable elastic biocompatible material. The flange 20 and / or nasal pillow 28 according to each embodiment of the patient interface 10 has a softer elasticity than the rest of the unitary structure for patient comfort, and in use, the patient's face and / or Alternatively, it is desirable that an appropriate airtight (fluid-sealed) structure can be easily formed with respect to the nostril. However, even if the nose pillow 28 and / or the flange 20 form a hermetic sealing structure with respect to the patient's nostrils and / or face, single or two for use with any embodiment of the patient interface 10 The present invention should not be construed to be limited to a hermetic seal structure as long as it is contemplated that a hermetic seal structure is not required.
The patient interface 10 described above can be operatively mounted on the patient's face A in any suitable manner. An example of a suitable means for operatively mounting the patient interface 10 on the patient's face A is disclosed in US Pat. No. 6,651,663 in the name of Barnet et al., Which is hereby incorporated by reference. And The US patent discloses an annular member to be combined with a patient interface material, and a number of notches provided in the patient interface material function as a headgear mounting portion for fixing the headgear to the annular member. In the embodiment of the annular member shown in the above U.S. patent, the headgear mounting portion is provided with three notches. However, the number of headgear mounting portions may be any desired number, such as 2 or 4, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. Other means for operatively attaching the patient interface 10 on the patient's face A are shown in FIGS. 22A-22C, which are disclosed in the specification of US Patent Publication No. 2005/0076913 in the name of Ho et al. The contents of this US Patent Publication are hereby incorporated by reference. Various means of operatively attaching the patient interface 10 on the patient's face A are well known to those skilled in the art, but for convenience, any other means of operably attaching the patient interface 10 on the patient's face A. In addition to the means, the means is illustrated in FIG.
A novel feature of the present invention is that the patient interface material is provided with both a buffer body (buffer member) 13 that is in close contact with the patient's nose and a nasal pillow 28 that is in close contact with the patient's nostril. With this new form, the function of stably mounting the patient interface material can be separated from the function of forming a sealing structure between the patient and the patient interface material 10. The buffer formed in a substantially conical shape has a function of fixing and stabilizing the mask at a predetermined position. When an external force is applied in the axial direction through the connection 30 toward the patient's face A, most of the external force is applied to the flange 20 rather than the nose pillow 28. It is well known that the area around the patient's nostril is particularly delicate. In the conventional nasal pillow structure, an excessive pressing force is often concentrated on this delicate area. In contrast, in the present invention, the pressing force can be distributed around the patient's nose to reduce discomfort. In conventional patient interface materials that use nasal pillows, the headgear assembly must have a number of complex structures to properly place the nasal pillow on the patient's face. The present invention does not require a complicated configuration. The nasal pillow 28 has an excellent function of maintaining a sufficient sealing structure between the patient and the mask to deliver gas to the patient. In fact, in other embodiments, the inventor contemplates that it may be desirable to provide a plurality of vents in the first chamber 24 for venting steam to enhance the comfort experienced by the patient. The sealed structure can be maintained in the second chamber 26 and the nasal pillow 28, and the other embodiments can be achieved.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the possibility of missing a patient interface component formed of a single structure can be minimized. For example, it is preferable to form a nasal pillow integrally with the partition wall. Alternatively, the nasal pillow can be formed separately from the septum and glued or otherwise joined to the mask. This allows the patient to select a nasal pillow of a size and shape that fits the patient's specific shape of the nostril, and excessive friction will occur if not replaced with an appropriate nasal pillow. In either embodiment, the gas supplied to the patient is mixed in the second chamber 26 prior to delivery to the patient through the nasal pillow 28. By this mixing process, the same gas can be reliably delivered to both nostrils of the patient at the same pressure.
Furthermore, in the present invention, the patient interface material 10 is provided with an elliptical hemispherical portion (nasal pillow) that fits properly in the nostril of the patient. An elliptical hemisphere composed of an anatomically nearly accurate structure is extremely comfortable for the patient. The elliptical hemisphere also forms a large sealing structure along the length of the patient's nostril and minimizes interference effects that block airflow. Furthermore, a nasal pillow can be formed on the stretchable part or the curved diaphragm 36. This feature allows the nasal pillow 28 to be smoothly adapted to the specific nostril structure of each patient to improve patient comfort and the integrity of the hermetic sealing structure.
Still another feature of the present invention is that an embodiment in which the flange 20 is curved not on the inside but on the outside can also be adopted. Any form is a suitable support, but is particularly advantageous because the outwardly curved structure of the flange 20 allows the patient additional space with respect to the nasal pillow 28.
Although the presently most practical and preferred embodiment has been illustrated and described in detail, the above description is merely for convenience of explanation, and the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment. It is intended to encompass modifications and equivalent devices that fall within the scope of the claims and that have the same meaning as the claims.
