Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of postoperative rehabilitation nursing, and in particular to a chest belt used for rehabilitation training after chest surgery. Background Art

[0002] Median sternotomy is a classic surgical approach in cardiothoracic surgery and can also be used for many lower neck and intrathoracic organ surgeries. The skin incision is from 12 cm below the suprasternal fossa to 1 cm below the xiphoid process. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are cut and the sternum is split longitudinally. Therefore, after chest surgery, a chest strap is usually needed to fix the wound to control the movement of the thorax. In actual clinical nursing, rehabilitation therapists and nurses found that some patients could not maintain the correct position well during rehabilitation exercises due to postoperative pain and exhaustion, which caused the incision to be accidentally pulled, aggravated pain, and affected healing. There are also a small number of patients who resist or move their hands to remove the tube when sitting up for rehabilitation exercises due to postoperative delirium, which leads to accidents. Therefore, during the entire rehabilitation process, rehabilitation therapists and nurses need to support the back while helping patients to fix the correct position with their hands, which is very hard.

[0003] Therefore, it is very important to be able to provide a chest belt for rehabilitation training after chest surgery. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a chest belt for rehabilitation training after chest surgery. The chest belt for rehabilitation training after chest surgery of the present invention can protect the chest incision, standardize the correct body position of the patient, relieve the pain at the chest surgery site, and improve the protection effect of the wound and the surrounding area.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a chest strap for rehabilitation training after chest surgery, comprising a chest strap body connected by Velcro and a shoulder strap connected to the chest strap body;

[0007] The inner side of the chest strap body is provided with airbag cushions arranged in zones for relieving wound pain and allowing the patient to perform breathing exercises; the airbag cushion is provided with an air inlet pipe on a side close to the shoulder strap and an air outlet on a side away from the shoulder strap;

[0008] The front side of the shoulder strap is provided with a grip ball for the patient to adjust the range of motion of the fingers and restrict the movement of the thorax.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the chest strap body includes a rear chest strap, a first front chest strap arranged on one side of the rear chest strap, and a second front chest strap arranged on the other side of the rear chest strap;

[0010] The first front chest strap and the second front chest strap are connected by Velcro; and airbag cushions are arranged inside the first front chest strap and the second front chest strap.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rear chest strap is in the shape of a cotton mesh, which is convenient for breathing, ventilation and perspiration.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first Velcro is disposed on the inner side of the first front chest strap, and a second Velcro matched with the first Velcro is disposed on the outer side of the second front chest strap.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first front chest strap and the second front chest strap have the same width; the length of the first Velcro is the same as the length of the first front chest strap, and the width of the first Velcro is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the width of the first front chest strap.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the gripping ball is provided with a connecting ring which is integral with the gripping ball;

[0015] The shoulder strap is connected to the grip ball through an adjustment rope extending out of a connection ring, and the grip ball can be adjusted to different positions by adjusting the length of the adjustment rope, thereby being able to adapt to different patients.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, one end of the adjusting rope is fixedly connected to the shoulder strap, and the other end passes through the connecting ring and is connected to the middle part of the adjusting rope.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the airbag cushion is arranged along the width direction of the first front chest strap and the second front chest strap.

[0018] Each airbag cushion is provided with an air inlet pipe on the top (which can be used for inflation when the patient is doing breathing exercises, and can also be connected to an external inflation device), and an air outlet on the bottom;

[0019] The air intake pipe is provided with a control switch (to control the opening and closing of the air intake pipe and thus the opening and closing of the air intake).

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the airbag is composed of a plurality of small airbags arranged in an array, and adjacent small airbags are connected by airbag gaps.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, a side of the small air bag away from the first front chest strap or the second front chest strap is provided with folds.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the small airbag is oval, square or diamond-shaped;

[0023] The fold directions of adjacent small air cells are allowed to be the same or different;

[0024] Preferably, the folds of the connected small airbags have different directions.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, the grip ball is an inflatable grip ball, and an inflation port connected to the outside and allowing the outside to inflate and deflate the grip ball is provided on the grip ball.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] (1) The grip ball in the chest strap for rehabilitation training after chest surgery of the present invention can help patients better hug their chests and protect their chest incisions when they are doing breathing exercises; it can prevent patients from subconsciously supporting the bed and causing the wound to be pulled when they are doing rehabilitation exercises; at the same time, the grip ball can allow the patient to cross his hands and fix them on both sides of the chest strap, preventing the patient from losing strength after surgery and the patient from accidentally removing the tube due to delirium, and also standardizes the correct posture, reducing the workload of rehabilitation therapists and nurses;

[0028] (2) The provision of an inhalation tube in the chest belt for rehabilitation training after chest surgery of the present invention can help patients to assist in exhalation exercises, and an external device can also be used for air supply; the provision of an airbag cushion can relieve pain at the chest surgery site, and it can provide uniform pressure;

[0029] (3) The arrangement of the folds on the airbag in the chest strap used for rehabilitation training after chest surgery of the present invention can, on the one hand, increase the cushioning capacity of the airbag, better absorb and disperse force during the air intake and deflation process, and enhance the protective effect on the wound and the surrounding area; on the other hand, it can help the airbag cushion better adapt to the activities and changes of the body, and can also adapt to the physical characteristics of different individuals, thereby reducing discomfort when wearing.
