Body position monitoring system and monitoring method for pressure sore prevention

Abstract

Provided is a body position monitoring system for pressure sore prevention. The body position monitoring system includes a bed body composed of a bed board and a support, and a control device arranged at one end of the bed body, at least eight pressure sensing areas in two rows are uniformly arranged on the upper surface of the bed board in the length direction, the eight pressure sensing areas are connected with the bed board through shift forks, each shift fork includes a backing plate, a rotary plate, and a rivet, and the pressure sensing areas can be fixed on the bed board by rotating the rotary plates, the control device includes a PLC control terminal and a prompting device controlled by the PLC control terminal, the output end of each pressure sensing area is connected with the PLC control terminal, and the output end of the prompting device is connected with a computer in the office of the medical care personnel. The body position monitoring system is simple in structure and can be combined with the existing ward bed, and by means of the flexible arrangement of the pressure sensing areas, the replacement is convenient, and the number of the pressure sensing areas is adjusted based on the needs, or the monitoring accuracy can be improved by replacing the pressure sensing areas in different types.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a body position monitoring system and a monitoring method for preventing pressure sores. Background technique [0002] Pressure sores, also known as pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers, are due to long-term pressure on local tissues, resulting in continuous ischemia, hypoxia, and malnutrition, resulting in tissue ulceration and necrosis. Pressure sores are a common problem in rehabilitation and nursing care. According to relevant literature reports, about 60,000 people die of pressure ulcer complications every year. [0003] At present, in clinical nursing work, the prevention of pressure sores can only rely on the patient's family members or nurses to turn the patient over from time to time, change the patient's position, or pat the patient's back, so as to avoid long-term pressure on the patient's local tissues. And medical staff have limited medical nurs...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, in clinical nursing work, the prevention of pressure sores can only rely on the patient's family members or nurses to turn the patient over from time to time, change the patient's position, or pat the patient's back, so as to avoid long-term pressure on the patient's local tissues. And medical staff have limited medical nursing knowledge, and sometimes cannot change the patient's position in time, which leads to poor prevention of pressure sores. Once a pressure sore occurs, it will not only increase the hospitalization cost, prolong the length of hospitalization, but also increase the pain of the patient, and even lead to the death of the patient
