Abstract:
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO),an effective extracorporeal circulation support system,holds significant importance in the treatment of severe cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases.Effective fixation of ECMO catheters can prevent adverse events such as displacement and accidental extubation,thereby ensuring the effectiveness and continuity of ECMO treatment.At present,various tools such as transparent dressings,surgical dressings,and bandages are commonly used in clinical practice.However,there are problems such as insufficient fixation,unattractive and tidy appearance,and inconvenient replacement.There is still a lack of specific and effective dressings to fix ECMO catheters.Therefore,the medical staff from department of critical care medical of Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine designed ECMO dressing,and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China(patent number:ZL 202120543021.3),which includes 3 parts:upper dressing,middle dressing,and lower dressing with weak connections in sequence.The top surface of the upper dressing is the upper dressing layer,which is marked with a first scale.The middle part of the bottom surface of the upper dressing layer is fixed with a gauze layer.The top surface of the middle dressing is the middle dressing layer,and the bottom surface of the middle dressing layer is fixedly equipped with a mesh layer along the edges of the 2 length directions.There is a cutting gauze between the 2 mesh layers,and the 2 length edges of the cutting gauze are fixedly connected to the mesh layer.There is a plastic film between the cutting gauze and the middle dressing layer,and cracks are evenly spaced along the length direction of the cutting gauze.The top surface of the middle dressing layer is marked with a second scale.There is an opening at the connection between the lower dressing and the middle dressing,and the bottom surface of the lower dressing is an adhesive layer.This utility model,simple design,good fixing effect,convenient replacement,can avoid catheter slippage and displacement,reduce the occurrence of pressure-related injuries to instruments,and improve the quality of clinical work.It is worth promoting and applying in clinical practice.
