[0036] When using the postoperative chest and abdomen belt, first tie the chest and abdomen belt to the outside of the patient's abdomen, and make the placement seam 7 located at the front of the patient's chest. After the chest and abdomen belt is tied, electrodes and drainage tubes can be placed on the patient's chest and abdomen. In the process of placing the electrodes, the sealing belt 10 needs to be separated from the open seam 8, and the needle-side Velcro 11 and the fleece-side Velcro 12 will be separated in this process. The abdominal belt will be located from the patient's armpit to the upper end of the lower ribs during wearing, allowing medical staff to stick the brown chest electrode to the outside of the patient's chest through the open seam 8, and then the electrodes required for limb detection can be stuck on the outside of the patient's body, and the four groups of electrodes will be located On the outer side of the upper and lower ends of the abdominal belt, the abdominal belt will not affect the use of the other four groups of electrode sheets, and the connecting belt 9 needs to be opened when the placement slit 7 is opened. At the same time, the patient's abdominal puncture position can be observed through the placement slit 7. In this process, the needle-side Velcro 11 and the fur-side Velcro 12 on the outer side of the connecting belt 9 also need to be separated, and then the placement slit 7 can be opened to place the drainage tube. At the same time, the placement of the drainage tube can be detected through the placement slit 7, and after the connecting belt 9 is bonded to the abdominal belt body 1, the gap of the placement slit 7 can be used to facilitate the connection of the drainage tube with the outside world. By controlling the opening and closing of the placement slit 7 and the open slit 8, the convenience of using the chest and abdominal belt is effectively improved.
