Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical rescue, and in particular to a transfer bed for critical care. Background Art
[0002] At present, when patients in the ICU (intensive care unit) need to be transferred to other departments or examined, medical staff usually push ordinary transfer beds into the elevator and then carry them to the destination manually. Since the transfer process takes a long time and the transfer bed has no function to monitor the patient's vital signs and condition changes, it is easy to cause serious complications or even endanger the patient's life.
[0003] Therefore, the common transfer bed in the prior art has the problem of being unable to monitor the patient's physical health status in real time. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the background technology and provide a transfer bed for intensive care.

[0006] As a preferred solution, the environmental monitoring and control unit includes a temperature and humidity sensor, an air quality sensor, and an air purification and conditioning device; the temperature and humidity sensor and the air quality sensor are used to detect the temperature, humidity and air quality data of the transfer environment, and the air purification and conditioning device automatically adjusts the temperature and humidity of the transfer environment and purifies the air according to the detection data to maintain it within a preset range suitable for critically ill patients.
[0007] As a preferred solution, the vital signs monitoring and transmission unit includes an electrocardiogram sensor, a blood pressure sensor, a blood oxygen sensor, and a respiratory rate sensor. These sensors are in contact with the patient's body to collect vital signs data, and transmit the data to a remote medical monitoring center and an intelligent control unit through a wireless communication module; the remote medical monitoring center can display and store vital signs data in real time, and issue an alarm to notify medical staff when the data is abnormal.
[0008] As a preferred solution, the intelligent control unit is connected to the mobile transfer bed unit, the environmental monitoring and regulation unit and the vital signs monitoring and transmission unit; the intelligent control unit automatically controls the angle and height adjustment of the mobile transfer bed unit according to the vital signs data and the pressure sensing layer data to assist the patient's breathing or improve the body's pressure condition, and at the same time controls the operation of the environmental monitoring and regulation unit according to the environmental data.
[0009] As a preferred solution, an intelligent navigation wheel group is installed at the bottom of the mobile transfer bed unit. The intelligent navigation wheel group can automatically navigate and move according to the preset transfer route, and automatically avoid obstacles or issue an alarm when encountering obstacles. The navigation route can be set by medical staff on the operation interface of the intelligent control unit or imported from the hospital's information system.

[0019] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings.
[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.
[0021] Example
[0022] See also Figure 1 As shown, a critical care transfer bed according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a bed body 100, a pressure sensing layer 102 is provided on the surface of the bed body for real-time monitoring of the pressure distribution of the contact part between the patient's 140 body and the bed body, and a mobile transfer bed unit 104, an environment monitoring and regulation unit 106, a vital sign monitoring and transmission unit 114 and an intelligent control unit 126 are provided on the bed body.
[0023] The pressure sensing layer 102 on the bed surface is a material that can sense the weight distribution of the human body. It can measure the pressure on various parts of the patient's body through the pressure sensing principle and convert it into an electrical signal and output it to the intelligent control unit so that medical staff can understand the patient's body pressure. For example, if the pressure on a certain part of the patient is too high, it may mean that the part has local ischemia or congestion, and corresponding measures need to be taken to deal with it.
[0024] The method of using the transfer bed is as follows:
[0025] First, the medical staff places the patient on the bed and fixes various monitoring instruments and infusion lines. Then, they can enter the patient's personal information and current condition on the intelligent control unit so that the system can perform corresponding parameter settings and data analysis based on this information. Next, they can select a suitable transfer route and enter it into the intelligent control unit, so that the bed can plan its own direction and speed according to this route. Finally, the medical staff only needs to press a switch button, and the bed will start to move automatically and move along the predetermined route until it reaches the designated destination.
[0026] During this process, multiple sensors on the bed will continuously collect various physiological parameters and environmental data about the patient, and transmit them to the intelligent control unit for analysis and processing. For example, the vital signs monitoring and transmission unit includes multiple sensors, such as an electrocardiogram sensor 116, a blood pressure sensor 118, a blood oxygen sensor 120, and a respiratory rate sensor 122. These sensors are in contact with the patient's body to collect vital signs data, and transmit the data to a remote medical monitoring center 136 and an intelligent control unit through a wireless communication module 124; the remote medical monitoring center can display and store vital signs data in real time, and issue an alarm to notify medical staff 138 when the data is abnormal. For another example, the environmental monitoring and control unit includes a temperature and humidity sensor 108, an air quality sensor 110, and an air purification and conditioning device 112; the temperature and humidity sensor and the air quality sensor are used to detect the temperature and humidity and air quality data of the transfer environment, and the air purification and conditioning device automatically adjusts the temperature and humidity of the transfer environment and purifies the air according to the detection data to maintain it within the preset range suitable for critically ill patients. These data can help medical staff to keep track of the patient's status and progress at any time, and adjust treatment plans and nursing measures in a timely manner.
[0027] In addition, the transfer bed is also equipped with some other practical functions and facilities, such as an intelligent navigation wheel set 128, an emergency energy storage unit 130, a guardrail structure 132, and the like. Among them, an intelligent navigation wheel set is installed at the bottom of the mobile transfer bed unit. The intelligent navigation wheel set can automatically navigate and move according to the preset transfer route, and automatically avoid obstacles or issue an alarm prompt when encountering obstacles. The navigation route can be set by medical staff on the operation interface of the intelligent control unit or imported from the hospital's information system. This autonomous navigation capability allows the bed to walk and turn more flexibly and freely, avoiding the inconvenience and risks brought about by traditional manual operation. The emergency energy storage unit can quickly take over the work and maintain the necessary operation in the event of a main power failure or unstable power supply, ensuring the reliability and stability of the entire system. As for the guardrail structure, it is designed to protect patients from falls or other accidental injuries, and it can effectively improve the safety during the transfer process.
[0028] The transfer bed also has a patient information identification and management unit 134, which uses radio frequency identification technology to identify patient identity information. The unit is connected to the hospital information management system and can quickly obtain the patient's medical history and treatment plan information, and update the patient's transfer status and related data to the hospital information management system in real time during the transfer process.
[0029] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several variations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
