ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR REDUCING PEDIATRIC PATIENT'S ANXIETY IN FRONT OF A SURGICAL FACE MASK DURING INDUCTION OF ANESTHESIA

摘要

The invention relates to a device for reducing the anxiety of a patient, especially a child, with respect to the face mask used in anesthetic induction. According to the invention, the device consists of a support plate (1) made of plastic material, which has a flat upper part (c), in the shape of a flattened arrow tip, on which two pairs of electroluminiscent diodes (6 and 6') are fixed, a middle flat part (b), of quasi-constant width, on which a multivibrator circuit (5) of electronic "lighting bug" type and a mini-switch (4) are fixed and to whose base there is fixed by casting a part (g) with J-shaped cross-section which forms a battery-holder part in which two secondary battery pills (d) are fixed, between two metal blades (e) for taking over the voltage, forming a set of batteries (3) for supplying the electronic circuit (5) by the mini-switch (4), to the base of the middle part (b) a fixation ring (2) is fastened with a cross-section plane in an angle α = 20…35°with respect to the plane of the middle part (b) of the support plate (1) having in the opposite side a flat lower part (a) with the cross-section plane in an angle β = 30…40° with respect to the cross-section plane of the fixation ring (2) by means of which the support plate (1) is fastened to a tube (D) for connection of a hollow part (A) of the oxygen mask having an edge continuing with an inflatable ring (B), provided with a nozzle (C) with valve.
