Description

The present invention is impregnated with a CPAP mask used for the treatment of sleep apnea syndrome, a dew condensation water-absorbing water-retaining non-woven fabric having an adhesive function that can adhere to the inside of an NPPV mask used for non-invasive positive pressure ventilation therapy, and an inhalant. Alternatively, the present invention relates to a dew condensation water-absorbing water-retaining non-woven fabric having an included adhesive function and a mask configuration thereof.

Condensed water is generated inside the CPAP mask used for the treatment of sleep aspiration syndrome and the NPPV mask used for non-invasive positive pressure ventilation therapy, and the dew water inside the mask enters the mask user's face and nose. Falling and invading, causing the mask user to awaken unpleasantly, etc. Falling and invading the dew water into the face and nose, causing unpleasant stress and trauma to the mask user, which is a major obstacle to the continuation of treatment. rice field. There was also a risk of hygiene problems.

In order to solve these problems, it has been proposed that the temperature and humidity should be controlled by climate control using a humidifier or a heating tube to prevent the generation of dew condensation inside the mask. I came.

For example, Japanese Patent No. 5919263 (Patent Document 1) discloses a configuration in which the generation of dew condensation is prevented by an airway pressure support system that automatically controls the temperature of the patient circuit of the pressure support system.

Further, in Japanese Patent No. 6180776 (Patent Document 2), a patient is stably supplied with a respiratory gas that has been sufficiently heated and humidified without being easily affected by external temperature changes and without causing dew condensation. A humidifier for heating and humidifying a breathing gas that can be supplied to a humidifier is disclosed.

However, in the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the wet component contained in the mask user's own respiratory gas condenses inside the mask and water droplets are generated on the mask user's face and nostrils. There was no use in solving the problem of preventing falling and intrusion.

Inhaled drugs that act directly on the airways and lungs have less systemic side effects than oral drugs and have the advantage of being effective with a small amount of drugs, but the therapeutic effect depends on the amount of the inhaled drug reaching the airways and lungs. There was a demerit that sufficient effect could not be expected if the inhalation procedure was inappropriate.

Japanese Patent No. 5919263 Japanese Patent No. 6180776

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to adhere the dew condensation water generated inside the CPAP mask used for the treatment of sleep aspiration syndrome and the NPPV mask used for the non-invasive positive pressure ventilation therapy to the inside of the mask. It absorbs and retains water in the water-absorbing and water-retaining non-woven fabric that has an adhesive function to prevent the dew water from falling and entering the face and nose, and the dew water falls and invades the face and nose of the mask user. In addition to relieving the strong stress and trauma that the mask user felt very unpleasant, such as sudden unpleasant awakening, the dew condensation water absorption water retention non-woven fabric also has a function as a breathing gas humidity control body. Result It is to provide a simple and highly reliable CPAP mask and NPPV mask configuration that enhances the therapeutic effect.

Inhaled drugs that act directly on the airways and lungs have less systemic side effects than oral drugs and have the advantage of being effective with a small amount of drugs, but the therapeutic effect depends on the amount of the inhaled drug reaching the airways and lungs. Is greatly influenced by the above, and it is to provide a means for eliminating the demerit that a sufficient effect cannot be expected if the inhalation procedure is inappropriate.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is characterized by providing a dew condensation water absorption water retention nonwoven fabric having an adhesive function capable of adhering to the inside of a CPAP mask and an NPPV mask.

Dew condensation water absorption and water retention non-woven fabric with adhesive function that can adhere to the inside of CPAP mask and NPPV mask adheres to the inside of CPAP mask and NPPV mask, and absorbs and retains the dew condensation water generated inside the CPAP mask and NPPV mask. It is a feature.

It is characterized by utilizing a non-woven fabric that absorbs and retains the dew water generated inside the CPAP mask and NPPV mask as a humidity control body for breathing gas.

Stable by impregnating or embedding an inhalant in a dew condensation water-absorbing water-retaining non-woven fabric having an adhesive function that can adhere to the inside of the CPAP mask or NPPV mask, and vaporizing the inhalant into the breathing gas of the CPAP mask or NPPV mask user. It is characterized by providing a means capable of maintaining a dosage.

With the above configuration, the present invention masks the dew condensation water generated inside this mask in the configuration of the CPAP mask used for the treatment of sleep apnea syndrome and the NPPV mask used for non-invasive positive airway pressure therapy. It is possible to eliminate the mask user's feeling of extremely strong unpleasant stress and trauma, such as sudden unpleasant awakening caused by falling or invading the user's face or nose. As a result, it is possible to create a remarkable effect that prevents the effect of the treatment from being impaired.

In addition, the dew condensation water-absorbing water-retaining non-woven fabric that is adhered to the inside of the CPAP mask and NPPV mask and absorbs and retains the moist components contained in the breathing gas inevitably has a function as a humidity control body for the breathing gas, and as a result, enhances the therapeutic effect. Create a simple and highly reliable CPAP mask and NPPV mask configuration.

Condensation water absorption and water retention non-woven fabric with adhesive function that can adhere to the inside of CPAP mask and NPPV mask are impregnated or embraced with an inhalant, and the inhalant is vaporized into the breathing gas of the mask user by adhering to the inside of the CPAP mask and NPPV mask. By doing so, a stable dosage can be maintained and appropriate drug administration can be realized. As a result, the effect of treatment can be enhanced.
