[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0038] This invention discloses a design method for rapidly converting a general ward into an intensive care unit, the design method comprising the following steps:
[0039] Step 1: Collect relevant design information for general ward 1 and design the medical gas pipeline 51;
[0040] Step 2: Based on the design of medical gas pipeline 51, reserve the medical gas pipeline 51 required for intensive care unit 2;
[0041] Step 3: Based on the design information of general ward 1, reserve drainage point 52;
[0042] Step 4: Reserve low-voltage wiring 53;
[0043] Step 5: Based on the structure of ordinary ward 1, set up a quick-release area and set the wall panels in the quick-release area as a quick-disassembly structure;
[0044] Step 6: Reserve structural loads.
[0045] The design method of this invention can maximize the flexible use of medical buildings, quickly realize the functional conversion between general ward 1 and intensive care ward 2, and enable social construction to have more flexible and up-to-date medical building functions.
[0046] Optionally, step 1 specifically includes:
[0047] Step 1.1: Collect design-related information for general ward 1;
[0048] Step 1.2: Position the medical gas pipe 51 inside the ceiling of the general ward.
[0049] Among them, the medical gas pipeline 51 is located inside the ceiling, which is beneficial for patients in general ward 1 and also accommodates critically ill patients when a general ward is converted into intensive care unit 2; such as Figure 2 As shown, taking a regular 3-person ward as an example, there is a toilet at the innermost side of the room, and there is a partition wall between the toilet and the room. Usually, the three beds are placed parallel to the partition wall and in sequence, with the head of the beds facing the same side wall of the ward, i.e., the first side wall 41. The partition wall is the second side wall 42. The first side wall 41 and the second side wall 42 are connected and have an angle, preferably a 90° angle. When the regular 3-person ward 1 is converted into an intensive care unit 2, the head of the intensive care bed is located on one side of the second side wall.
[0050] An optional medical gas duct 51 is reserved along the first side wall 41 after entering the ward from the outside, and extends to the intended location of the intensive care bed.
[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, the medical gas pipe 51 at the first side wall 41 position can be used by ordinary patients under normal circumstances. When the ordinary ward 1 is converted into the intensive care unit 2, the reserved medical gas pipe 51 can be directly used by critically ill patients without the need to reset the medical gas pipe.
[0052] Optionally, step 2 includes:
[0053] Step 2.1: Determine the central oxygen supply pipeline and vacuum suction pipeline in medical gas pipeline 51;
[0054] Step 2.2: Add compressed air pipelines to the central oxygen supply pipeline and vacuum suction pipeline, and reserve three-air interfaces.
[0055] The medical gas pipeline 51 includes: a central oxygen supply pipeline, a vacuum suction pipeline, and a compressed air pipeline. The central oxygen supply pipeline, the vacuum suction pipeline, and the compressed air pipeline have three gas interfaces reserved at the reserved port of the medical gas pipeline 51.
[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, when a general ward 1 is converted into an intensive care unit 2, the central oxygen supply pipeline, vacuum suction pipeline, and compressed air pipeline can be directly connected to the patient at the reserved three-gas interface, saving time for the general ward 1 to be quickly converted into an intensive care unit 2.
[0057] Optionally, step 3 includes:
[0058] At least one water supply and drainage point 52 should be reserved behind the door of the general ward.
[0059] Among them, a drainage point 52 is reserved behind or near the door of the general ward. The drainage point 52 is usually closed and can be directly activated when needed.
[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, when a general ward 1 is converted into an intensive care unit 2, the water supply and drainage point 52 is activated, meeting the standard requirements of the intensive care unit 2.
[0061] Specifically, the water supply and drainage point 52 is installed inside the wall or in the ceiling.
[0062] When used as a general ward 1, the water supply and drainage point 52 is installed inside the wall or on the ceiling, which is relatively concealed, does not affect the use function of the general ward 1, and is not easily damaged by people unintentionally.
[0063] The location of the water supply and drainage point 52 in this embodiment of the invention does not affect the overall indoor appearance and facilitates the use and conversion of the ward.
[0064] Optionally, step 4 includes:
[0065] Step 4.1: Reserve a low-voltage cable tray on the ceiling of a general ward;
[0066] Step 4.2: Reserve equipment interfaces behind the ward door.
[0067] The intensive care unit 2 requires the use of a large number of medical instruments and equipment, so the power supply guarantee requirements are high. The present invention reserves a low-voltage cable tray in the ceiling and extends it to the back of the ward door. It is preferably set on the side wall behind the ward door, i.e., the third side wall, which is opposite to the first side wall.
[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, when a general ward 1 is converted into an intensive care ward 2, the operation of critical care medical equipment is guaranteed by power supply, without the need for additional rewiring.
[0069] Optionally, step 5 includes:
[0070] Step 5.1: Reserve space in the partition wall between the bathroom and the ward of general ward 1 to allow for the quick installation of wall panels;
[0071] Step 5.2: Reserve conditions for quick removal of wall panels in the wall adjacent to the corridor in general ward 1.
[0072] Among them, such as Figure 2 The second side wall shown is not connected to the third side wall. A corridor or passageway is provided between the second side wall and the third side wall. Wall panel installation positions 55 are reserved at corresponding positions on the second side wall and the third side wall. When the general ward 1 is converted into the intensive care ward 2, a partition wall 61 is installed in the wall panel installation position 55. The partition wall 61 is flush with or nearly flush with the second side wall 42. It is set according to actual needs to enclose the toilet.
[0073] In this embodiment of the invention, the bathroom is enclosed, so that the renovated intensive care unit 2 meets the standard requirements.
[0074] Optionally, step 6 includes:
[0075] A structure is reserved in the ceiling of a general ward for the installation of a suspended medical tower; the structure is a floor slab or structural beam.
[0076] Among them, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a structural beam 54 is reserved in the general ward 1. The structural beam 54 is located at a suitable position for hanging a medical tower crane corresponding to the position where the intensive care unit bed is to be placed. It can be opposite to the head of the intensive care unit bed. The three-gas interface of the medical gas pipeline 51 is installed at the position of the structural beam 54.
[0077] The structural beam 54 in this embodiment of the invention provides installation conditions for medical equipment in the intensive care unit. It can be installed directly when needed without modification, thus meeting the needs of the intensive care unit.
[0078] Optionally, the design method further includes step 7, such as Figure 3 As shown, when converting general ward 1 into intensive care ward 2, wall panel 72 is quickly sealed at wall panel installation position 55, and wall panel 71 is quickly removed at the fourth side wall adjacent to corridor 3 of general ward 1.
[0079] The fourth side wall 44 is not a fixed wall but a removable wall panel. When the general ward 1 is converted into the intensive care unit 2, the wall panel of the fourth side wall 44 can be directly removed. Optionally, part of the first side wall 41 can also be set as a removable movable wall; the movable wall removed from the fourth side wall 44 and / or the first side wall 41 can be installed at the wall panel installation position 55 as a partition wall 61, saving materials and reducing storage space.
[0080] In this embodiment of the invention, by using a quick-sealing wall panel 72 between the second side wall 42 and the third side wall 43, and removing the wall panel of the fourth side wall 44, multiple adjacent general wards 1 can be constructed in the same manner, thus creating a large area of compliant intensive care unit 2 in a short time.
[0081] Specifically, the design method also includes step 8: installing a medical pendant and suspension bridge at the reserved structural beam 54; installing the pendant and connecting it to the three gas lines 76; and connecting the monitoring weak current to the monitoring island 74; and installing a sensor faucet and a washbasin at the reserved drainage point 52 75.
[0082] Once step 7 is completed, the necessary medical facilities for the intensive care unit 2 can be directly connected to the reserved interface.
[0083] This invention allows for the installation of various facilities within the intensive care unit 2 in a short time, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it can be put into use quickly, saving a lot of time.
[0084] Optionally, the fourth side wall 44 is composed of multiple double-sided steel plate partitions connected together, and a door is provided on the fourth side wall 44, with an observation window on the door.
[0085] The double-sided steel plate partition has gypsum board lining the steel plate, with sound-insulating rock wool filling the gaps between the gypsum boards; the double-sided steel plate partition has hook-and-loop keel on its sides; the double-sided steel plate partitions are connected by steel fasteners; preferably, the double-sided steel plate partition also has a middle steel plate inside to improve the partition strength; the preferred hook-and-loop keel is an M-shaped steel hook-and-loop keel; the double-sided steel plate partition also has horizontal keel, preferably a U-shaped keel.
[0086] Partition wall 61 also uses double-sided steel plate partitions.
[0087] Figure 2 , 3 4 is only one embodiment of the present invention. The present invention can also be applied to other types of general wards, such as... Figure 5 The general ward 1 shown has a toilet located on one side of the entrance. In this layout, the wall between general ward 1 and corridor 3 can be the original building wall, while the other three side walls are all made of movable partitions 62. When general ward 1 is converted into intensive care unit 2, the corridor next to the toilet is closed with partitions 61, and the other movable partitions are removed as needed, thus converting general ward 1 into intensive care unit 2.
[0088] This invention is designed to provide a rapid response and buy time in emergency situations, making it suitable for use in the medical system. Once the intensive care unit 2 has completed its mission, it can be quickly converted back into a regular ward 2. This design facilitates the rapid conversion between regular ward 1 and intensive care unit 2 without significantly increasing the construction cost of regular ward 1, and is lower than the construction cost of intensive care unit 2.
[0089] The intensive care unit described in this invention includes ICU wards as shown in Figures 2-4, and also includes EICU wards as shown in Figures 2-4. Figure 5 As shown.
[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that after reading this application specification, they can still modify or make equivalent substitutions to the specific implementation of the present invention, but these modifications or changes do not depart from the protection scope of the pending claims of the present invention.
