Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent nursing equipment, and particularly relates to an intelligent decompression mattress system based on multi-modal monitoring of blood perfusion. BACKGROUND

[0002] Blood perfusion refers to the amount of circulating blood flowing through the capillaries of an organ or tissue per unit time, and reflects the ability of blood to provide oxygen and nutrients for local tissues and to carry away metabolic waste, and is an important indicator for evaluating organ function. Long-term bedridden patients are particularly prone to blood perfusion problems at pressure sites such as the sacrococcygeal region, heel, and lower limb venous system. Studies have shown that 2 hours of bed rest under local continuous pressure can cause a decrease in skin blood perfusion, such as a decrease in sacrococcygeal blood flow of more than 40, and a pressure of more than 32 mmHg at the bony protuberance can block capillary blood flow, causing tissue hypoxia and necrosis, and further leading to pressure ulcers.

[0003] With the development of technology, the prior art has related products of air bag nursing mattresses, which use sensors to detect long-term bedridden patients and assist patients in adjusting their body positions through a series of air bags.
