Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intra-abdominal pressure measurement devices, and particularly to an abdominal circumference measurement device for critically ill patients. Background Art

[0002] In clinical practice, many diseases can cause an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Persistent elevation of intra-abdominal pressure can lead to intra-abdominal hypertension, which usually occurs in 5% to 40% of patients with urinary dysfunction, especially high-risk surgical patients with urinary dysfunction. Severe cases can lead to abdominal compartment syndrome. Abdominal compartment syndrome can cause changes in systemic hemodynamics and, at the same time, through the restriction of breathing, cause dysfunction of the circulatory system, respiratory system, urinary system, and digestive system. In severe cases, it will manifest as oliguria, anuria, dyspnea, and even multiple organ failure, endangering life. Therefore, for the postoperative care of some surgical patients, measuring and monitoring the changes in their intra-abdominal pressure is also an important link in preventing postoperative complications and ensuring the smooth recovery of patients.

[0003] When the intra-abdominal pressure of a patient increases, the most intuitive manifestation is usually the outward bulging of the patient's abdomen. Therefore, measuring the change in the patient's abdominal circumference is one of the most direct methods for measuring the change in the patient's intra-abdominal pressure. However, postoperative patients are usually in a lying position. When measuring the patient's abdominal circumference, a measuring tape needs to be wrapped around the patient's back. Therefore, the patient needs to get up and cooperate with the measurement, which will increase the patient's pain. And due to the patient's physical discomfort, it will be difficult to cooperate with the measurement smoothly, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. Especially for critically ill patients, the patient may not even be able to complete the action of getting up smoothly, which will cause difficulties in measuring the patient's abdominal circumference data. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an abdominal circumference measurement device for critically ill patients to solve the problems that it is currently difficult to measure the abdominal circumference of postoperative patients, especially critically ill patients, who have difficulty getting up and cooperating with the measurement, increasing the patient's pain and resulting in inaccurate measurement results.

[0005] The object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] The abdominal circumference measurement device for critically ill patients provided by the present invention includes:

[0007] A base for mounting on a hospital bed and having a strip-shaped groove opened at the top, and a slot is opened in the strip-shaped groove;

[0008] A cover plate, the two ends of which are respectively a hinged end and a plug-in end. The hinged end is hinged to the base, and a plug is provided at the plug-in end. Rotating the cover plate can make the plug insert into the slot;

[0009] A resisting block is arranged in the strip-shaped groove and located between the hinged end and the slot;

[0010] A tape case, detachably connected to the insertion block. A measuring tape is wound inside the tape case, and the free end of the measuring tape passes out of the tape case and is connected to a resisting block.

[0011] A pushing mechanism, disposed in the strip-shaped groove and on the side of the insertion slot away from the resisting block; and

[0040] As Figures 1-6 shown, the abdominal circumference measuring device for critically ill patients provided in this embodiment includes a base 1, a cover plate 2, a resisting block 3, a tape box 4, a pushing mechanism 5 and a pressing control member 6.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the base 1 is used to be installed on the hospital bed. Preferably, in order to ensure the comfort of the patient when lying flat, a mattress can be added to the hospital bed to form a space for accommodating the base 1, so that the top surface of the base 1 is flush with the bed surface. A strip-shaped groove 11 extending towards both sides is formed at the top of the base 1, and a slot 12 is formed in the strip-shaped groove 11 to provide an activity space for the resisting block 3, the tape box 4, the pushing mechanism 5 and the pressing control member 6, so as to measure the abdominal circumference of the patient when the patient is lying flat.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , both ends of the cover plate 2 are respectively a hinged end and a plug-in end. The hinged end is hinged to the base 1, and the plug-in end is provided with a plug 21. Rotating the cover plate 2 can make the plug 21 inserted into the slot 12 and make the cover plate 2 cover the outside of the patient's waist and abdomen, so as to form a space for accommodating the patient's body between the cover plate 2 and the base 1.

[0043] As Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, pinching plates 23 are respectively provided on both sides of the plug block 21, and each pinching plate 23 is connected to the plug block 21 through a third elastic member 231. The third elastic member 231 can provide an elastic force to keep the two pinching plates 23 away from the plug block 21. A buckle 232 is provided on the side of each pinching plate 23 away from the plug block 21, and a clamping groove 121 for clamping the buckle 232 is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the slot 12. When the plug block 21 is inserted into the slot 12, the buckle 232 and the clamping groove 121 can be used to fix the plug block 21 in the slot 12, and the buckle 232 can be withdrawn from the clamping groove 121 by pinching the pinching plates 23 on both sides, so as to facilitate the disconnection between the plug block 21 and the slot 12.

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The abutment block 3 is arranged in the strip groove 11 and is located between the hinge end and the slot 12, and is used to abut against the patient's back.

[0045] In order to make the butt block 3 fully butt against the patient's back, preferably, in one embodiment, an elastic arc plate 31 is provided in the strip groove 11 between the butt block 3 and the slot 12, and one end of the arc plate 31 is smoothly connected to the bottom of the strip groove 11 to provide a channel for the pushing mechanism 5 to reach the butt block 3, and the other end of the arc plate 31 is arc-shaped and tilted upward and extends out of the strip groove 11, and the top of the extended end is connected to the butt block 3 and the bottom is connected to the bottom of the strip groove 11 through the fifth elastic member 32, and the fifth elastic member 32 can provide an elastic force to push the butt block 3 out of the strip groove 11.

[0046] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The tape box 4 is detachably connected to the insert block 21. The tape box 4 is provided with a tape 41 rolled up and can provide a contraction force to store the tape 41 inside. Specifically, a coil spring is provided inside the tape box 4, and the coil spring is connected to one end of the tape 41 located inside the tape box 4. The free end of the tape 41 passes through the tape box 4 and is connected to the stop block 3. The connection end is the scale starting end of the tape 41, so that the connection point between the tape 41 and the stop block 3 is used as the starting point of the measurement. During specific use, first open the cover 2 and move the tape 41 against the cover 2. The patient lies flat on the bed and the waist and abdomen position to be measured is located on the path of the strip groove 11, so that the stop block 3 abuts against the patient's back, and the cover 2 is rotated to allow the insertion block 21 to drive the tape box 4 so that the tape 41 wraps around the patient's abdomen from the outside with the stop block 3 as the starting point. When the insertion block 21 is inserted into the slot 12, the tape box 4 is removed from the insertion block 21, and the tape box 4 slides along the path of the strip groove 11 to abut against the stop block 3. At this time, the tape 41 completes one circle around the patient's abdomen. The length of the tape 41 pulled out of the tape box 4 is the patient's abdominal circumference. Under the action of the winding spring, the tape 41 always remains in close contact with the patient's body surface to ensure measurement accuracy.

[0047] In one embodiment, a clamping piece 22 is respectively provided on both sides of the insertion block 21, and the tape box 4 is located between the two clamping pieces 22 and has latch holes 42 on both sides. A movable cavity 221 is provided in each clamping piece 22 and one end away from the cover plate 2 is open, and an L-shaped pin 222 can be movably provided in each movable cavity 221. The L-shaped pin 222 is connected to the inner wall of the movable cavity 221 through a second elastic piece 223. The second elastic piece 223 can provide elastic force to move the L-shaped pin 222 toward the inner wall of the movable cavity 221 close to the tape box 4, and make one end of the L-shaped pin 222 pass through the inner wall of the side to the latch hole 42, and the tape box 4 can be installed or removed by sliding the L-shaped pin 222. The L-shaped pin 222 can make the outlet of the tape 41 of the tape box 4 always face the stop block 3. Specifically, the latch hole 42 is a square hole or other non-circular special-shaped hole, and one end of the L-shaped pin 222 inserted into the latch hole 42 is a column adapted to the latch hole 42 to prevent the outlet position of the tape 41 of the tape box 4 from changing. The other end of the L-shaped pin 222 extends toward the opening of the active cavity 221, and there is a gap between the end of the L-shaped pin 222 and the inner wall of the active cavity 221 to which it is closely attached.

[0048] In order to further improve the accuracy of the patient's waist circumference data measured by the tape 41, Figures 4-6 As shown, in one embodiment, the exit end of the tape 41 is connected to the top of the side of the stopper 3 close to the slot 12, so that the measurement starting point of the tape 41 is located at the position where the stopper 3 and the tape box 4 abut against each other, reducing the measurement error. A stopper 43 is provided on the side of the tape 41 outlet of the tape box 4 close to the plug block 21, and the tape box 4 abuts against the stopper 3 through the stopper 43, so as to leave a space between the tape box 4 and the stopper 3, so as to facilitate the observation of the reading of the tape 41. A window 311 is provided on the arc plate 31 below the connection between the tape 41 and the stopper 3, and a shooting camera 33 is provided at the bottom of the strip groove 11, just below the window 311, for shooting the length reading of the tape 41 when it is pulled out of the tape box 4.

[0049] In one embodiment, a squeeze button 34 is provided on one side of the stopper 3 facing the slot 12, and the squeeze button 34 is electrically connected to the camera 33 via a wire 35, and the camera 33 is activated to take a picture by pressing the squeeze button 34. Since the stopper 43 leaves a space between the tape box 4 and the stopper 3, in order to activate the camera 33 when the tape box 4 abuts against the stopper 3, a squeeze block 44 is provided on one side of the tape box 4 at the exit of the tape 41 corresponding to the squeeze button 34.

[0050] See also Figure 3The pushing mechanism 5 is arranged in the strip groove 11 and is located on the side of the slot 12 away from the stop block 3, and has a driving force that can slide along the strip groove 11 to the stop block 3, and is used to push the tape box 4 to the stop block 3 to abut after the tape box 4 is removed from the insert block 21. In one embodiment, the pushing mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 51, a fourth elastic member 52 and a push plate 53, the fixed plate 51 is fixedly installed in the strip groove 11, the push plate 53 is located on the side of the fixed plate 51 close to the stop block 3 and is connected to the fixed plate 51 through the fourth elastic member 52, and the fourth elastic member 52 can provide an elastic force to keep the push plate 53 away from the fixed plate 51. After the pushing mechanism 5 pushes the tape box 4 to the abutment block 3 and measures the patient's abdominal circumference data, it is necessary to retract the pushing mechanism 5 and retract the tape box 4 and install it on the insertion block 21. In order to facilitate the recovery of the tape box 4 after measurement, preferably, a through hole 511 is provided on the fixing plate 51, and a pull rope 531 is provided on one side of the pushing plate 53. One end of the pull rope 531 passes through the through hole 511 and extends outward. The side of the tape box 4 away from the outlet of the tape 41 can be attracted to the pushing plate through magnetic force. The tape box 4 and the pushing plate 53 are attracted to each other under the action of magnetism, and the pushing plate 53 and the tape box 4 can be pulled back to their original positions at the same time by pulling the pull rope 531.

[0051] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the pressing control member 6 is installed in the slot 12 and is blocked on the travel path of the pushing mechanism 5. The insert block 21 is inserted into the slot 12 to press down the pressing control member 6, so that the pressing control member 6 can remove the tape box 4 from the insert block 21 and release the stopper of the pushing mechanism 5, and the pushing mechanism 5 will push the tape box 4 to the stop block 3. In one embodiment, specifically, the pressing control member 6 is connected to the bottom of the slot 12 through the first elastic member 61, and the first elastic member 61 can provide an elastic force to push the pressing control member 6 out of the slot 12 and block the pushing mechanism 5 on the travel path. In specific use, it is necessary to insert the insert block 21 into the slot 12 and press down the pressing control member 6 and maintain this state to allow the pushing mechanism 5 to move. In one embodiment, a top cone 62 is provided at the top of the pressing control member 6 corresponding to each locking member 22. When the insert block 21 is inserted into the slot 12 and approaches the pressing control member 6, the top cone 62 will be inserted between the L-shaped pin 222 and the movable cavity 221 and disengage the L-shaped pin 222 from the pin hole 42, so that the tape box 4 can be removed from the insert block 21.

[0052] During specific use, by rotating the cover plate 2, the measuring tape 41 is driven by the insertion block 21 to wind around the patient's abdomen starting from the abutting block 3. When the cover plate 2 rotates until the insertion block 21 is inserted into the slot 12, the ends of the clamping members 22 on both sides of the insertion block 21 will contact the pressing control member 6. Continuing to rotate the cover plate 2 to press down the insertion block 21 causes the apex cone 62 at the top of the pressing control member 6 to be pushed into the space between the L-shaped pin 222 and the inner wall of the movable cavity 221 close to the measuring tape case 4. As the insertion block 21 is pressed down, the L-shaped pin 222 will slide out of the insertion pin hole 42, so that the measuring tape case 4 is removed from the insertion block 21. At the same time, the insertion block 21 will also press down the pressing control member 6, causing the pressing control member 6 to be pressed into the slot 12 to release the movement restriction on the pushing mechanism 5. At this time, the push plate 53 will, under the action of the fourth elastic member 52, push the measuring tape case 4 along the path of the strip-shaped groove 11 to abut against the abutting block 3. Thus, the measuring tape 41 is completed to wind around the patient's abdomen for one week, and the final reading can be obtained. After the measurement, the push plate 53 and the measuring tape case 4 are retracted to their original positions, and the insertion block 21 is pulled out. The pressing control member 6 is ejected out of the slot 12 under the action of the first elastic member 61 and restricts the movement of the pushing mechanism 5 again. As the insertion block 21 is continuously pulled out, the apex cone 62 will move out of the movable cavity 221, and the L-shaped pin 222 will be inserted into the insertion pin hole 42 again under the action of the second elastic member 223, and the measuring tape case 4 is reinstalled on the insertion block 21.

[0053] It should be noted that the first elastic member 61, the second elastic member 223, the third elastic member 231, the fourth elastic member 52, and the fifth elastic member 32 described above can all be springs or elastic rubbers.

[0054] The abdominal circumference measuring device for critically ill patients provided by the present invention uses the abutting block 3 to abut under the patient as the starting point of measurement. By rotating the cover plate 2 to wrap the patient's body, the measuring tape 41 is driven to continuously draw out from the measuring tape case 4 and wind around the patient's abdomen. The pushing mechanism 5 provides the driving force to slide the measuring tape case 4 in the strip-shaped groove 11 under the patient towards the abutting block 3, so as to achieve the purpose of measuring the abdominal circumference of the patient when the patient is lying flat. The process is simple and fast. The pressing control member 6 serves both as a means to control the installation and disassembly of the measuring tape case 4 and the insertion block 21 and as a switch to restrict or allow the movement of the pushing mechanism 5. It can be synchronously realized only by rotating the cover plate 2 to control the pressing down or lifting of the insertion block 21. The operation is convenient, the measuring efficiency of the patient's abdominal circumference is improved, it is convenient to perform multiple measurements to obtain the change amount of the patient's abdominal circumference data within a certain period of time, which is beneficial for medical staff to quickly master the negative pressure situation of the patient and improve the treatment quality of the patient. Using this device to measure the patient's abdominal circumference does not require the patient to get up. The measurement can be carried out when the patient is lying flat and the result is more accurate. For postoperative patients, especially critically ill patients, it improves the treatment experience and the treatment quality.
