Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a leg circumference measuring device for preventing deep vein thrombosis in bedridden children, which is wearable. Background Technique

[0002] Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) refers to a pathological thrombus formed by abnormal coagulation of blood in the deep venous system of the lower extremities, resulting in partial or complete obstruction of the venous lumen, and then causing the pathophysiological process of venous return disorder. Compared with adults, pediatric DVT has unique epidemiological characteristics and a spectrum of risk factors, and its clinical symptoms are atypical and the onset is latent. Bedridden children are prone to form DVT due to reduced muscle activity and slow blood flow in the lower extremity veins. In severe cases, pulmonary embolism may occur and even endanger life. Due to factors such as impaired consciousness and sedation in critically ill bedridden children, they usually cannot complain of symptoms such as leg swelling, pain, redness, and fever, often accompanied by a high missed diagnosis rate, increasing the difficulty of screening.

[0003] A neuromuscular stimulator for intelligent wearable digital deep vein thrombosis prevention disclosed in the invention with the publication number of CN119345599A includes an electrical stimulator, a charging bin, and electrode patches; the charging bin can charge the electrical stimulator and record the working data of the electrical stimulator, and upload the data to the cloud platform; the electrode patches have a flexible B-ultrasound electrode module; it can record the blood flow velocity and flow peak value, and then detect whether a thrombus is formed. The present invention can achieve real-time intelligent monitoring and prevention, timely detect whether a thrombus is formed, and the stimulation data and detection data can be uploaded to the cloud platform to remind patients to seek medical treatment in time. The neuromuscular stimulator provided by this solution is small in size, suitable for various populations, and improves the user experience.

[0004] However, the above solution can only record the blood flow velocity to judge the formation of thrombus, and it cannot dynamically and real-time measure the circumference of the lower extremities, which is not convenient for accurately predicting thrombus.

[0056] S(x,y)=\frac{(x_2 - x)(y_2 - y)P_{i,j}+(x - x_1)(y_2 - y)P_{i + 1,j}+(x_2 - x)(y - y_1)P_{i,j + 1}+(x - x_1)(y - y_1)P_{i + 1,j + 1}}{(x_2 - x_1)(y_2 - y_1)};

[0057] Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of adjacent flexible capacitive pressure sensors.

[0058] 2. Initial contour reconstruction

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , the gas delivery structure includes a three-way valve 5. The three-way valve 5 is arranged at one end of the main gas pipeline 6. A first gas pipeline 3 and a second gas pipeline 4 are arranged on the three-way valve 5. The first gas pipeline 3 and the second gas pipeline 4 are respectively connected to the airbag mechanisms in the first wearing part 1 and the second wearing part 2, and can simultaneously deliver air flow into the airbag mechanisms.

The first electromagnetic switching valve 114 and the second electromagnetic switching valve 112 are connected to the main controller 7, and the pressure in the upper airbag group 105 and the lower airbag group 106 can be independently controlled.

[0069] When the thigh circumference, calf circumference, and ankle circumference are greater than the initial circumference, such as when the thigh circumference increases, the main controller 7 closes the first electromagnetic switching valve 114, opens the second electromagnetic switching valve 112, closes the lower diversion pipe 110, and the main controller 7 controls the air pump to operate.
