Novel system and method for tetanus clinical monitoring and early warning

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel system and a method for tetanus clinical monitoring and early warning. The system comprises a pressure sensor between teeth, a muscle tremor sensor, a patient terminal, and a nurse station terminal. The pressure sensor between teeth is used to obtain pressure between up and down teeth of a patient through occlusion of an upper teeth cushion and a lower teeth cushion. The muscle tremor sensor is arranged on a wrist ring, and is abutted against the inner side of a wrist of the patient, and is used to obtain muscle tremor state of the patient caused by muscle spasm or muscular tension and constriction. The patient terminal is used to obtain a detection message sent by the pressure sensor between teeth and the muscle tremor sensor. The nurse station terminal is connected with the patient terminal. The system reduces difficulty for clinical care of a tetanus patient and monitoring difficulty of accompany personnel, prevents fast onset and fast disease development of the patient, especially prevents a disadvantage of throat spastic lethal since accompany personnel is difficult to highly concentrate at night. The system reduces burden of medical personnel and patient's family, and is convenient and fast to use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a novel tetanus clinical monitoring and early warning system and method. Background technique [0002] Tetanus is a specific infection caused by Clostridium tetani, a Gram-positive Clostridium, an anaerobic bacterium that can only reproduce and grow in the anaerobic environment of narrow deep wounds . The clinical incubation period is about 7 days, and the course of disease is generally 3-4 weeks. Typical clinical manifestations are paroxysmal strong spasms on the basis of muscle tension contraction, any slight stimulation, such as sound, light, contact, drinking water, etc. can induce seizures, each seizure lasts for several minutes, and the patient cannot speak during the onset. Asphyxiation caused by spasm of the laryngeal muscles thus occurs, causing death. Most of the family members of the patients are 3 or more, so that they can work in three shifts within 24 h...
