Abstract

Patients who have undergone total laryngectomy (TL) are, in most cases, affected by lung disease due to smoking habits. Therefore, as part of the follow-up protocol for these patients, a spirometry test should be performed to adequately assess lung function. Current spirometers do not allow for spirometry tests in patients who breathe through a tracheostomy, as the patient cannot perform respiratory acts from the spirometer mouthpiece, which is designed to be used by mouth. We have, therefore, designed a device that allows the test to be performed through the tracheostoma. The device is made of biocompatible polymeric material, modeled using a 3-dimensional printer, reusable, and hermetically connected to the spirometer distally and to the tracheostoma proximally. The device was used on 5 patients who underwent TL and was found to be comfortable, safe, and valid for diagnostic purposes.

用于对全喉切除患者进行肺活量测量的设备。
在大多数情况下,接受全喉切除术(TL)的患者会因吸烟习惯而受到肺部疾病的影响。因此,作为这些患者随访方案的一部分,应进行肺活量测试以充分评估肺功能。目前的肺活量计无法对通过气管造口术呼吸的患者进行肺活量测试,因为患者无法通过肺活量计的口罩进行呼吸动作,而口罩是专为口腔使用而设计的。因此,我们设计了一种可通过气管造口进行测试的装置。该装置由生物相容性高分子材料制成,使用三维打印机建模,可重复使用,远端与肺活量计密封连接,近端与气管造口密封连接。该装置在 5 名接受 TL 的患者身上使用,结果表明其舒适、安全且可用于诊断目的。
