Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a container, method and application for accurately recording the intake and output of patients. Background Art

[0002] In the process of medical care, accurately recording the intake and output of patients is of great significance for the diagnosis, treatment and condition monitoring of various diseases. For example, in cases such as kidney diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and postoperative recovery, the intake and output data such as urine volume, infusion volume, and drainage volume of patients are the key basis for medical staff to evaluate the patient's fluid balance, renal function status, surgical effect, etc. The traditional recording method mainly relies on medical staff to manually read the scale on ordinary containers (such as measuring cups, urinals, etc.) and manually record the data. This method has many drawbacks, such as large reading errors, untimely recording, difficult data integration and analysis, the amount depends on subjective judgment, repeated questioning and confirmation will cause patient annoyance, etc. The statistical error of the intake and output directly leads to excessive or insufficient intake of the patient, which affects the doctor's evaluation of the treatment effect and then affects the treatment plan. In order to quantify the intake and output, ensure more accurate statistics and simpler data collection, a container, method and application for accurately recording the intake and output of patients are proposed.

[0012] A method for accurately weighing and recording the patient's input and output, comprising:

[0013] 1) Select two identical containers that can accurately weigh and record the patient's intake and output, one for weighing and recording the patient's intake, and the other for weighing the patient's output;

[0014] 2) When the patient needs to record the intake and output, a container is used to weigh and record the patient's intake or output. When the patient's intake or output enters the container, the electronic weighing device and the liquid level sensor in the container are automatically started to collect relevant data. The electronic weighing device converts the collected analog signal into a digital signal and transmits it to the microprocessor.

[0017] Preferably, when the value on the display is greater than the warning value set by the warning value setting block, the microprocessor controls the reminder module to sound an alarm to remind the patient and medical staff.

[0018] The invention discloses an application of a container capable of accurately weighing and recording the intake and output of a patient in medical care.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. With the container of the present invention, by using the socket connection setting between the inner container and the cup body, the inner container can be replaced at any time, and the cup body can limit the position of the inner container on the base, avoiding the inner container from tipping or tilting, preventing the inflow or outflow of intake or discharge. The electronic weighing device connected to the inner container weighs the mass of its inflow and outflow and gives feedback. The dual settings of the liquid level sensor and the scale can more accurately measure the volume of intake and discharge, and display it through the display, which is convenient for patients, caregivers or medical staff to record or know;

[0021] 2. A microprocessor is arranged inside the base and connected to the electronic weighing device and the liquid level sensor. Mainly, the microprocessor processes the collected data, converts it into a digital signal, and then transmits the processed data to the terminal module through the signal transmission module for recording and display. This can reduce the burden on medical staff for real-time understanding of the patient's inflow and outflow, and greatly reduce the workload of medical staff;

[0022] In summary: The present invention can effectively improve the accuracy, timeliness and convenience of recording the patient's inflow and outflow, provide strong support for medical care work, while reducing the workload of medical staff, and contribute to improving the medical quality and the rehabilitation effect of patients.
