Abstract

Enhancing the comfort of high-flow nasal cannulas holds practical significance in clinical settings, as it can alleviate pain during treatment, improve patient compliance, and reduce the occurrence of facial pressure sores during extended wear. The pressure distribution at the nasal cannula-facial interface is a key factor affecting comfort. In this paper, we present a flexible iontronic sensor with ultra-high sensitivity (up to 0.6 nF/mmHg), low activation pressure (as low as 1 mmHg), and a fast response time (up to 30 ms) for measuring pressure at the nasal cannula-facial interface. The introduction of a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bonding layer enables the ionic layer to form a robust sensing interface with the electrode. A unified pressure distribution measurement scheme was established, and 10 subjects were recruited to wear four brands of commercially available nasal cannulas to evaluate the dynamic pressure distribution in different states. The proposed device provides a feasible solution for assessing nasal cannula comfort and provides a quantitative evaluation framework for optimizing nasal cannula designs, with direct implications for patient care.

用于鼻插管-面部界面压力分布评估的可穿戴离子电子传感器

提高大流量鼻插管的舒适度在临床中具有重要的实际意义，因为这可以减轻治疗过程中的疼痛，提高患者的依从性，并减少长时间佩戴时面部压疮的发生。鼻插管-面部界面的压力分布是影响舒适度的关键因素。本文介绍了一种灵活的离子电子传感器，它具有超高灵敏度（高达 0.6 nF/mmHg）、低激活压力（低至 1 mmHg）和快速响应时间（高达 30 ms），可用于测量鼻插管-面部接口处的压力。聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯（PMMA）粘合层的引入使离子层与电极形成了牢固的传感界面。建立了统一的压力分布测量方案，并招募了 10 名受试者佩戴四种品牌的市售鼻插管，以评估不同状态下的动态压力分布。所提出的装置为评估鼻插管舒适度提供了可行的解决方案，并为优化鼻插管设计提供了定量评估框架，对患者护理具有直接意义。
