Bedsore-proof early warning device

Abstract

The invention relates to a medical care auxiliary appliance, in particular to bedsore-proof early warning device. The bedsore-proof early warning device is provided with a pressure sensitive element, a tissue hypoxia degree monitoring device, a data processing unit and an alarm unit. When in use, the pressure sensitive element is attached to a bedsore-susceptible part to monitor the pressure of the part, and the tissue hypoxia degree is monitored by an instrument, thereby the actual hypoxia degree of the tissue at the pressed part of a patient can be mastered in time. When the local tissue pressure of an individual exceeds a certain range and lasts for a certain time, and the oxygen partial pressure of the tissue is lowered and possible to cause ischemic hurt, the bedsore-proof warning device warns to prompt the medical personnel and caregiver to be on guard that the patient is in the risk of suffering bedsore and take measures in time such as turning over the body of the patient to prevent bedsore. The bedsore-proof early warning device greatly lowers the workload of the nursing personnel and reduces the pain of the seriously ill patients.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical nursing auxiliary device, in particular to an early warning device for preventing pressure sores. Background technique [0002] Pressure sore is one of the most common clinical complications of patients who need to stay in bed for a long time due to disease. With the aging trend of the society and the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, the incidence of pressure ulcers has also been on the rise globally in the past decade. In my country, the incidence of pressure ulcers is used as an important index to evaluate the quality of care in a hospital. Clinically, medical staff usually use the method of turning the patient every 2 hours to prevent pressure sores. However, there are following problems in this traditional turning method: [0003] (1) Definition of turning time: my country's medical quality management guidelines propose that bedridden patients should be turned every 2 hours to prevent pressure sores...

Problems solved by technology

However, the formulation of this guideline is mainly based on empirical guidance and lacks a large amount of clinical evidence-based support. At the same time, it is clinically found that although some patients turn over every 2 hours, it is still difficult to avoid the occurrence of pressure sores, and some patients even prolong the turning interval (3 hours or 4 hours) did not lead to pressure ulcers

[0004] (2) It is inconvenient for severe patients to turn over: For patients with rib or cervical spine fractures, patients with extensive burns, and critically ill patients who are intubated after surgery, excessive turning over is a strong stimulus, and unnecessary turning over seriously affects the patient's sleep. , increasing the pain of the patient; if it is not necessary to turn over every 2 hours, how long is the best interval for individual patients?

[0005] (3) The workload of nurses increases and the efficiency decreases: due to the great individual differences of patients, for some patients, it is not necessary to turn over every 2 hours, so it will undoubtedly only increase the work of nurses and make nurses Reduced work efficiency

[0006] Therefore, routine turning every 2 hours is only in the empirical stage, and cannot scientifically guide the clinical and effective prevention of pressure sores
