[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical care equipment, and in particular relates to a PICC protection information monitoring system and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The PICC tube is inserted through a catheter from the peripheral basilic vein, brachial vein, cephalic vein, median cubital vein, etc. The tip of the catheter directly enters the large vein near the heart. It avoids direct contact between chemotherapy drugs and arm veins. The large veins have a large blood flow, and chemotherapy drugs can be quickly diluted to prevent drugs from irritating the veins. Since blind insertion requires rich experience and feel of the operator, and the median cubital vein has good visibility or touchability, the median cubital vein is often chosen for PICC insertion in hospitals without ultrasound equipment.

[0003] After PICC catheterization, in order to facilitate the patient's upper limb activities and visually appealing, it is often necessary to fix the exposed part of the catheter tip with a sleeve. However, the existing fixing equipment is relatively simple and can only wrap the PICC catheter to prevent it from falling off. It cannot remind whether the upper arm on the PICC catheterization side is over-forced or lifted, and cannot timely monitor whether blood is returning in the catheter. There is no information alarm memory function, but most PICC catheterization patients require a long treatment cycle, and the high frequency of catheter slippage, blood return and tube blockage, infection, etc. have become the biggest obstacles to the safe retention of PICC. Therefore, we provide a PICC protection information monitoring system and method with a warning reminder function to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0027] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the connection mode of the communication module is one or more of WIFI, Bluetooth or local area network.

[0028] A method for using a PICC protection information monitoring system comprises the following steps:

[0029] S1. First, when the person lies flat, the arm is placed flat on the bedside, the sheath body is covered on the forearm, and the sheath body fixes the PICC catheter so that the locator C is located on the forearm. At this time, the position coordinate information of the locator C is transmitted to the tablet through the sensing wire and recorded;

[0030] S2, then fix the locator B to the joint of the upper arm and the forearm and fix it with a tightening belt, and also transmit the position coordinate information of the locator B to the tablet through the sensing wire and record it;

[0031] S3. Finally, fix the locator A to a place on the upper arm and fix it with a tightening belt. After the fixation is completed, the position coordinate information of the locator A is transmitted to the flat plate through the sensing wire and recorded;

[0032] S4. At this time, the tablet receives the position coordinate information of the three points, namely, locator C, locator B and locator A, and calculates the positions of the three points through the data processing module in the management system. The angle formed by the three points is calculated and a threshold is set. When the forearm moves, the locator C will be driven to move. At this time, the angle between the three points changes. If the change value is within the threshold range, it remains unchanged. If the change exceeds the set threshold, an alarm is issued, including an alarm.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. In this scheme, through the provided locators C, locator B and locator A, when locator C, locator B and locator A are respectively fixed on the upper arm and forearm of the arm, the coordinate information of locator C, locator B and locator A is located through the management system in the tablet, and the three points form an angle. At this time, a threshold range is set in the tablet. When the forearm is raised, the locator C will be driven to move, so that the angle formed by the three points changes. When the angle change is within the threshold range, it indicates that the forearm lifting does not affect the PICC catheter infusion. At this time, the alarm module in the tablet is not triggered. When the angle change exceeds the threshold range, it indicates that the forearm is lifted too high, which will affect the blood reflux in the PICC catheter. At this time, the alarm module is triggered, and the sound alarm and light alarm are controlled to sound an alarm, thereby reminding nurses and patients to deal with the situation in time to avoid medical accidents.

[0035] 2. In this solution, the locator B and the locator A are respectively fixed to the upper arm and the joint of the upper arm and forearm by tightening belts, so that the locator B and the locator A are not easy to loosen, the angle is not easy to deviate, and the data is more accurate.

[0036] 3. In this solution, the infusion status of the PICC catheter in the sheath body can be clearly seen through the observation port, which is convenient for nurses and patients to check in real time and has higher safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] See also Figure 1-10 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0052] A PICC protection information monitoring device comprises a sheath body 1,

[0053] Also includes:

[0054] A flat plate 4 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the sheath body 1;

[0055] A sensing wire 6, one end of which is fixedly disposed on one side of the sheath body 1, and the sensing wire 6 is signal-connected to the flat plate 4;

[0056] A locator A9 is fixed to the end of the sensing wire 6 away from the sheath body 1;

[0057] A locator B8, fixed at the middle of the sensing wire 6; and

[0058] The positioner C7 is fixed to the end of the sensing wire 6 close to the sheath body 1 .

[0059] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, in the device, the sheath body 1 is used to wrap the PICC catheter on the arm, so that the PICC catheter is not easy to shake when on the arm and is more stable during infusion. Velcro mother stickers 17 and Velcro child stickers 18 are respectively provided on both sides of the sheath body 1. The Velcro mother sticker 17 and the Velcro child sticker 18 are bonded to each other. Through the bonding between the Velcro mother sticker 17 and the Velcro child sticker 18, the sheath body 1 can fix the PICC catheter. The flat plate 4 is fixed to the upper surface of the sheath body 1 through the rubber seat 3. Since the rubber seat 3 can be deformed, when the sheath body 1 is bent and wrapped around the arm, the rubber seat 3 is deformed at this time, which does not affect the balance of the flat plate 4, so that the flat plate 4 will not be deformed and is not easy to break. The flat plate 4 is connected to the external control end signal and is connected through the communication module in the management system in the flat plate 4, so that the external control end can monitor the situation on the flat plate 4 in real time. By means of the provided locators C7, B8 and A9, when the locators C7, B8 and A9 are fixed on the upper arm and forearm of the arm respectively, the coordinate information of the locators C7, B8 and A9 are located by the management system in the tablet 4, and the three points form an angle. At this time, a threshold range is set in the tablet 4, and when the forearm is raised, the locator C7 will be driven to move, so that the angle formed by the three points changes. When the angle change is within the threshold range, it indicates that the forearm lifting does not affect the PICC catheter infusion, and the alarm module in the tablet 4 is not triggered at this time. When the angle change exceeds the threshold range, it indicates that the forearm is lifted too high, which will affect the blood reflux in the PICC catheter. At this time, the alarm module is triggered, and the sound alarm 11 and the light source alarm 12 are controlled to sound an alarm, thereby reminding the nurses and patients to deal with the situation in time to avoid the occurrence of medical accidents.

[0060] For details, please refer to Figure 1 A sound alarm 11 and a light alarm 12 are fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the sheath body 1 , and both the sound alarm 11 and the light alarm 12 are connected to the flat panel 4 for signal.

[0062] For details, please refer to Figure 1 An observation port 2 is provided on the upper surface of the sheath body 1 .

[0063] In this embodiment, through the observation port 2, the infusion status of the PICC catheter in the sheath body 1 can be clearly seen, which is convenient for nurses and patients to check in real time and has higher safety.

[0064] For details, please refer to Figure 1 A disinfection mechanism is disposed on the lower surface of the sheath body 1, and the disinfection mechanism is used to disinfect the patient's arm.

[0065] In the present embodiment: two groups of disinfection mechanisms are provided, which are respectively located on both sides of the lower surface of the sheath body 1, and are composed of a disinfection groove 13, a protective layer 14 and a tear film 15. The disinfection groove 13 is an embedded groove, and a protective film is attached inside. The film can hold disinfectant liquid. The protective layer 14 is used to seal the groove of the disinfection groove 13 so that the liquid is not easy to leak out. The tear film 15 is fixed on one side of the protective layer 14, and one side of the tear film 15 is tilted for easy tearing. When the protective layer 14 needs to be opened, pinch a corner of the tear film 15 to tear the protective layer 14. At this time, the disinfectant in the disinfection groove 13 can flow out to the arm, and then it can be applied to disinfect the arm, making disinfection more convenient.

[0066] Preferably, a skin-friendly film 16 is further provided on the lower surface of the sheath body 1. When the sheath body 1 fixes the PICC catheter on the arm, the skin-friendly film 16 contacts the arm, making the arm more comfortable. At the same time, the material of the skin-friendly film 16 is relatively cool, so when it contacts the arm for a long time, it is not easy to change in temperature, and it is not easy to sweat and cause the sheath body 1 to fall off.

[0067] Preferably, two tightening belts 10 are provided on the locator B8 and the locator A9. By tying the tightening belts 10 on the arms, the tightening belts 10 can fix the locator B8 and the locator A9 on the upper arm and the joint of the upper arm and forearm respectively, so that the locator B8 and the locator A9 are not easy to loosen, the angle is not easy to deviate, and the data is more accurate.
