Management of facial burns is a challenge to the burn team because it may lead to functional and cosmetic compromise. Severe scarring of the nares may lead to nasal occlusion. This article introduces a method of maintaining nasal patency that allows respiratory exchange through the use of a custom-fabricated, semirigid tubular orthosis. The technique for fabrication is reviewed, and the use of the device is addressed through a case report. This inexpensive, readily available device is useful in preventing nasal occlusion that results from scar formation.
面部烧伤的处理对烧伤治疗团队来说是一项挑战，因为它可能导致功能和外观受损。鼻孔严重瘢痕形成可能导致鼻阻塞。本文介绍一种保持鼻通畅的方法，即通过使用定制的半刚性管状矫形器来实现呼吸交换。文中回顾了该矫形器的制作技术，并通过病例报告阐述了该装置的使用情况。这种价格低廉、易于获得的装置有助于预防瘢痕形成导致的鼻阻塞。
