Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically to an anti-bedsore application system and method of a micro airbag structure in surgical anesthesia. Background Art
[0002] During a surgical procedure, the patient is under anesthesia and unable to move autonomously. Maintaining the same posture for a long time can cause continuous compression of local areas of the body. This compression not only causes discomfort to the patient, but more importantly, it leads to poor blood circulation in the local tissues, and serious complications such as bedsores may occur due to prolonged compression. The occurrence of bedsores not only increases the patient's pain, prolongs the hospital stay, but also increases the workload of clinical nursing staff and consumes a large amount of medical resources. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a system that can effectively prevent the occurrence of bedsores during surgery.
[0003] Currently, there are already some products and technologies for preventing bedsores on the market, such as traditional foam pads, gel pads, and alternating air-inflated mattresses. These products can relieve the pressure on the compressed parts of the patient to a certain extent, but their effects are limited and there are some defects.
[0004] (1) Foam pads and gel pads: Usually made of soft and breathable materials, they can disperse pressure to a certain extent. Defects: They cannot dynamically adjust the support strength according to factors such as the patient's body shape, surgical duration, and body position. Therefore, during a long surgical procedure, the pressure on the compressed parts of the patient may still be too high, leading to the occurrence of bedsores.
[0005] (2) Alternating air-inflated mattress: Through an internal air pump and airbag structure, it can periodically change the support state of the mattress, thereby dispersing pressure. Defects: It is relatively large in size and not convenient to use in the operating room, and the layout and inflation cycle of the airbag structure may not fully adapt to the personalized needs of surgical patients.
[0006] (3) Jet air cushion: A medical device for preventing bedsores, which is composed of an air cushion and an air pump, connected by a catheter in the middle. After the air cushion is inflated by the air pump, it can support the patient's body, disperse the body weight, reduce the pressure on the local surface, and avoid blood circulation disorders. After the power is turned on, the air cushion expands, and there are many small holes on the surface of the air cushion, which can actively eject strong winds to lower the temperature of the bed around the patient's body and keep the skin dry. Defects: The airbag layout is not precise enough: It cannot fully adapt to the body shape and surgical position of surgical patients, resulting in still too high pressure on some parts. The inflation cycle is fixed: The inflation cycle is fixed and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the surgical duration and the specific situation of the patient. The degree of intelligence is low: Jet air cushions usually lack an intelligent control unit and cannot monitor and adjust the airbag pressure in real time, thus unable to achieve precise pressure management.
[0007] (4) Locally Floating Anti-Pressure Ulcer Air Cushion: (Most Similar Solution): This air cushion can be alternately raised, and a single airbag can be suspended by inputting air. Also, a single airbag can distribute the weight pressure of the human body due to a predetermined elastic pad. The airbag unit is composed of multiple single airbags, which are arranged in a row to form multiple rows, and a fluid supply unit that selectively supplies air to each air chamber constituting each column to enable each heat constituting the air chamber part to alternately expand or contract. An air spraying unit is formed with fine air holes capable of jetting the air supplied from the fluid supply unit to remove moisture in a part of the area between the arrangements of each air chamber of the patient. And a control part that controls the fluid supply unit to allow the alternate floating of the airbag unit and the air pressure of the airbag to be selectable in various modes. It can move and distribute the weight of patients or the elderly who cannot freely move their bodies through alternate care to prevent pressure ulcers, and the temperature-controlled air can pass through the cushion and discharge the patient to provide a comfortable environment. Disadvantages: High maintenance cost and inability to perform intelligent pressure adjustment.
[0008] Therefore, we propose to design an anti-pressure ulcer application system and method for a micro airbag structure in surgical anesthesia. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this part is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this part, as well as in the abstract and title of the present application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of this part, the abstract, and the title. However, such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the anti-bedsore application system of the micro-airbag structure in surgical anesthesia of the present invention, the high-precision pressure sensing module is used to monitor the pressure state of each airbag in real time and transmit the data to the control system. The control system is used to monitor the contact pressure between the human body and the air cushion in real time and automatically adjust the inflation degree of each airbag.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the anti-bedsore application system of the micro-airbag structure in surgical anesthesia of the present invention, the safety protection function unit includes an overload protection module and a pressure limit module.
[0019] The anti-bedsore application method of the micro-airbag structure in surgical anesthesia includes the following specific steps:
[0020] Step 1: Place the micro-airbag pad under the patient's body. The distribution of the airbags at the waist follows the ergonomic principle. Through precise calculation and simulation and zoned structure design, the micro-airbags cover the key support areas below the waist.
[0021] Step 2: Through the high-precision pressure sensor, monitor the pressure state of each airbag in real time and feedback the data to the control system. The control system adopts microprocessor technology and embeds intelligent algorithms, which can monitor the contact pressure between the human body and the air cushion in real time. According to the preset pressure range and the actual situation of the patient, automatically adjust the inflation degree of each airbag to ensure that it fluctuates within a safe and effective range.
[0022] Step 3: Optimize the pressure distribution through the intelligent pressure distribution optimization unit. Preset the initial pressure value of the airbag, measure and evaluate the pressure distribution of the airbag during use, and adjust the airbag structure or configuration, or optimize the pressure regulation system based on the evaluation result of the pressure distribution uniformity. After optimization, re-measure the pressure distribution and evaluate the optimization effect to determine whether further adjustment and optimization are needed.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0024] 1. Lightweight and miniaturized: The airbag is thin, light, and soft, and can be folded and stored after deflation.
[0025] 2. Innovative micro-airbag structure design: Multiple micro-airbags are precisely arranged in key areas where patients are prone to compression, such as the sacral region, heels, hips, etc., and sensitive parts where the body contacts the bed surface.

This system can adjust the inflation and deflation degree of each airbag in real time according to the patient's physiological curve and body pressure distribution, or manual control can also be selected, so as to achieve precise management and effective relief of the pressure on the compressed part. This innovative design not only effectively solves the problem of excessive local tissue compression that may occur in patients with long-term bed rest, but also effectively improves the blood circulation condition and reduces the risk of pressure ulcers caused by long-term compression. Compared with traditional pressure ulcer prevention measures, the present invention can more effectively disperse pressure, reduce the compression time of local tissues, and thus reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers. The present invention has higher pertinence and practicability, with more significant effects and a more comfortable use experience.
[0027] 4. Enhanced applicability in surgical anesthesia: In the application in the field of surgical anesthesia, the present invention shows particularly prominent advantages. Due to its small size, light weight, and easy operation, the micro-airbag will not interfere with the surgical process, and at the same time can ensure the continuous and effective protection of the patient's body parts during anesthesia, thus greatly enhancing the applicability and practicability of the present invention in the surgical anesthesia scenario.
[0028] 5. Improvement of patient comfort and safety: By optimizing the pressure distribution and reducing the compression time, the present invention significantly improves the patient's comfort. In addition, the introduction of the intelligent control system also enhances the safety of use and reduces the risks caused by improper operation. Description of the Drawings

The micro-airbag bodies are processed into the designed shape and size by processes such as hot pressing and injection molding of airbag materials.
[0037] Inflation interfaces and valves are provided outside each of the number of micro-airbag bodies for connecting an air pump and a control system, ensuring good sealing of the interfaces and valves to prevent gas leakage. Each airbag is independently controllable and can be adjusted manually or automatically as needed.
[0038] The micro-airbag pad is made of a soft, breathable and medical-grade material, such as medical-grade polyurethane (PU) or silicone, to ensure the comfort and safety of the patient.
[0039] Meanwhile, a deformable airbag structure is provided, enabling the airbag to be finely adjusted according to the patient's body posture. A variable exhaust hole structure is provided, which can automatically adjust the size of the exhaust hole according to the pressure inside the airbag, thereby controlling the inflation speed and degree of the airbag. A skin-friendly and soft silver fiber fabric layer is covered on the surface of the micro airbag to enhance its durability, breathability and antibacterial property. And the micro airbag pad is thin, light, soft and foldable.
[0040] The micro airbag body is provided with a corresponding high-precision pressure sensing module and a control system.
[0041] The airbags are interconnected through a precise circuit system to form a complete pressure regulation network. The system is built-in with high-precision pressure sensors to real-time monitor the pressure state of each airbag and transmit the data to the control system.
[0042] The control system adopts advanced microprocessor technology, embeds intelligent algorithms, real-time monitors the contact pressure between the human body and the air cushion, and automatically adjusts the inflation degree of each airbag according to the preset pressure range and the actual situation of the patient (the patient's body type, weight and movement situation), ensuring that it fluctuates within a safe and effective range to achieve a more uniform pressure distribution.
[0043] The control system is used to real-time monitor the contact pressure between the human body and the air cushion and automatically adjust the inflation degree of each airbag. This intelligent pressure monitoring and regulation system can better adapt to the patient's body characteristics and needs, improving the comfort and effect of treatment.
[0044] The control unit, the control unit includes a user-friendly interface unit, a remote control and personalized setting unit, a safety protection function unit and an intelligent pressure distribution optimization unit, and the user-friendly interface unit includes an operation platform and a pressure adjustment record module.
[0045] The operation platform is used to provide an intuitive operation interface, and the pressure adjustment record module is used to record the pressure adjustment history. By providing an intuitive operation interface, it is convenient for medical staff to quickly adjust the airbag settings according to the surgical process and the patient's reaction, and at the same time record the pressure adjustment history to provide a basis for postoperative evaluation.
[0046] The remote control and personalized setting unit is used to adjust the inflation degree of the airbag, set a timed turning reminder and provide personalized setting options, and the options include adjusting the floating frequency of the airbag and setting different air pressure modes, which is convenient to meet the needs of different patients.

[0048] The application method of the micro airbag structure in preventing bedsore during surgical anesthesia includes the following specific steps:
[0049] Step 1: Place the micro air cushion pad under the patient's body. The distribution of the air cushions at the waist follows the ergonomic principle. Through precise calculation and simulation, and the partition structure design, the micro air cushions cover the key support areas below the waist.
[0050] Step 2: Through high-precision pressure sensors, the pressure status of each air cushion is monitored in real time, and the data is fed back to the control system. The control system adopts microprocessor technology and embeds intelligent algorithms, which can monitor the contact pressure between the human body and the air cushion in real time. According to the preset pressure range and the actual situation of the patient, the inflation degree of each air cushion is automatically adjusted to ensure that it fluctuates within a safe and effective range.
[0051] Step 3: Optimize the pressure distribution through the intelligent pressure distribution optimization unit.

Based on the evaluation result of the pressure distribution uniformity, adjust the air cushion structure or configuration, or optimize the pressure regulation system. After optimization, re-measure the pressure distribution and evaluate the optimization effect to determine whether further adjustment and optimization are needed.
[0052] By precisely arranging a series of micro air cushion structure units in the key areas of the patient's compressed part, each air cushion unit has an independent air pressure regulation function. These air cushions can accurately adjust the pressure according to the patient's physiological characteristics and surgical needs during the operation (quickly respond and adjust the pressure size and distribution pattern inside the air cushion), effectively disperse the pressure during the operation, thereby effectively reducing the local pressure load, promoting smooth blood circulation, preventing skin damage and tissue hypoxia caused by long-term compression, and thus fundamentally preventing the occurrence of bedsores. The air cushion units are connected by soft connecting materials, and this soft connecting material can ensure that the entire air cushion structure can maintain a smooth transition when adjusting the air pressure, avoiding discomfort to the patient.
