Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method of using a dialysis redness and swelling detection device, and more particularly to a method of using a dialysis redness and swelling assessment device. Background Technology

[0002] Central venous catheters are one of the most important vascular access routes for hemodialysis patients. Catheter-related infection (CRBI) is a major complication with a persistently high incidence. Infections not only increase hospitalization and mortality rates but also significantly increase medical costs and economic burden.

[0003] Currently, early detection of dialysis catheter infections mainly relies on visual observation by nurses and doctors (such as the extent of redness and swelling, skin temperature, and exudate) and patient complaints (such as pain and tenderness). This method is highly subjective, lacks quantitative standards, and may result in differences in judgment among medical staff with different levels of experience. Furthermore, the "gold standard" is lagging: diagnosis often relies on blood culture or catheter tip culture, but this takes several days and cannot provide early, immediate warning. Once systemic symptoms (such as fever and chills) appear or the culture result is positive, it indicates that the infection is already quite serious, and the best intervention opportunity has been missed. Inaccurate recording: Medical records often use phrases like "approximately X cm" or "mild / moderate / severe" to describe the extent of redness and swelling, making it difficult to achieve accurate and traceable objective recording, which is not conducive to comparison before and after and tracking of the condition; including laboratory tests: such as complete blood count (white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage), inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, procalcitonin); these are indirect indicators, have low specificity, and require blood draws and waiting time, so they cannot be used for real-time bedside screening; the use of a device specifically designed for early, objective, and quantitative assessment of infection at the hemodialysis catheter inlet has become a necessity for the assessment of dialysis redness and swelling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a novel method for using a dialysis redness and swelling assessment device, eliminating the subjectivity of visual observation and providing accurate, digital measurements of redness and swelling and elevated skin temperature around the catheter opening.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is a dialysis redness and swelling assessment device, comprising: The swelling measurement device includes a swelling height measurement device and a swelling width measurement device; Redness and swelling display ruler, including a transparent vertical display ruler and a transparent horizontal display ruler; Infrared thermometer and controller; Moving mechanisms include longitudinal moving mechanisms and lateral moving mechanisms; The swelling measurement device, swelling display ruler, and infrared thermometer are connected to the moving mechanism, which is in turn connected to the support frame of the moving vehicle.

[0006] A method of using a dialysis redness assessment device includes: When in use, the controller is used to control the swelling measurement device and the swelling display ruler to measure and display the height, length and width of the swelling at the dialysis port; The controller calculates the area and volume of the tumor; Control the infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of the mass; The controller's display shows the height, width, area, volume, and temperature of the dialysis port mass. The controller compares the input height, width, area, volume, and temperature threshold data with the detected data to generate a report, providing doctors with a basis for assessing the inflammation of the mass. This addresses the subjectivity of current visual assessments of masses and provides accurate, digital measurements of redness and swelling around the duct opening, as well as elevated skin temperature.

[0007] The method of using the dialysis redness assessment device includes: A dialysis redness and swelling assessment device is moved to the patient's bedside using a mobile cart, and the redness and swelling height measuring device is moved to a position on the side of the dialysis port aligned with the swelling using a mobile mechanism; The first horizontal ray of the first height laser infrared level of the redness and swelling height measuring device passes through the vertical display ruler of the redness and swelling display ruler and is transmitted to the position of the lower bottom surface of the dialysis port mass; The second horizontal ray of the second height laser infrared level of the redness and swelling height measuring device passes through the vertical display ruler of the redness and swelling display and is transmitted to the position of the upper convex surface of the dialysis port mass; The height of the dialysis port mass is indicated by the height difference between the first and second horizontal rays projected onto the vertical display ruler. The moving mechanism moves the redness and swelling width measuring device to the position of the mass above the dialysis port; The first vertical cross ray of the first width laser infrared level of the redness and swelling width measuring device passes through the horizontal display ruler of the redness and swelling display ruler and is transmitted to the position of the left edge of the swelling on one side of the dialysis port. The second vertical cross ray of the second width laser infrared level of the redness and swelling width measuring device passes through the horizontal display ruler of the redness and swelling display ruler and is transmitted to the position of the right edge of the swelling on the other side of the dialysis port. The width of the dialysis port mass is displayed by measuring the distance difference between the first and second vertical cross rays projected onto the horizontal display ruler; this serves to show both the height and width of the dialysis port mass.

[0008] When using the aforementioned dialysis redness and swelling assessment device: The controller uses a potentiometer to control the longitudinal servo motor of the longitudinal moving mechanism and the transverse servo motor of the transverse moving mechanism to drive the first height laser infrared level to move longitudinally and transversely, so that the first horizontal ray of the first height laser infrared level passes through the vertical display ruler and is transmitted to the position of the bottom surface of the dialysis port mass. The potentiometer of the controller controls the longitudinal servo motor of the longitudinal movement mechanism and the lateral servo motor of the lateral movement mechanism to drive the second height laser infrared level to move longitudinally and laterally, so that the second horizontal ray of the second height laser infrared level passes through the vertical display ruler and is transmitted to the position of the upper convex surface of the dialysis port mass. The potentiometer of the controller controls the longitudinal servo motor of the longitudinal movement mechanism and the lateral servo motor of the lateral movement mechanism to drive the first width laser infrared level to move longitudinally and laterally, so that the first vertical cross ray of the first width laser infrared level passes through the horizontal display ruler and is transmitted to the position on one side of the dialysis port mass. The potentiometer of the controller controls the longitudinal servo motor of the longitudinal movement mechanism and the lateral servo motor of the lateral movement mechanism to drive the second width laser infrared level to move longitudinally and laterally, so that the second vertical cross ray of the second width laser infrared level passes through the horizontal display ruler and is transmitted to the position on the other side of the dialysis port mass.

[0009] When using the aforementioned dialysis redness and swelling assessment device: The controller controls the first horizontal ray of the first height laser infrared level to pass through the vertical display ruler and be transmitted to the lower bottom surface of the dialysis port mass. The controller also controls the second horizontal ray of the second height laser infrared level to pass through the vertical display ruler and be transmitted to the upper convex surface of the dialysis port mass. The controller controls the lifting mechanism of the vertical display ruler to raise it vertically. When the first infrared sensor of the vertical display ruler rises to the position of the first horizontal ray, the first infrared sensor transmits its data to the controller, and the controller stops the lifting mechanism. At the same time, the first height laser infrared level and the second height laser infrared level transmit the data of the first horizontal ray and the second horizontal ray to the controller. The controller calculates the height difference between the first horizontal ray and the second horizontal ray, calculates the height of the mass, and displays it on the controller's display.

[0010] When using the aforementioned dialysis redness and swelling assessment device: Based on clinical needs, the detection time cycle is determined, and the tumor height threshold is input through the controller's display. The controller is used to control the swelling height measuring device to measure the height of the lump, and the detection data is stored in the controller's memory; The controller periodically generates a yt height curve of the tumor over time, and displays the yt height curve on a monitor; the trend change of the tumor height is evaluated through the curve. When the swelling height measurement device measures the height of the lump to be greater than the control threshold, the controller activates its alarm to issue an alarm.

[0011] When using the aforementioned dialysis redness and swelling assessment device: The controller controls the first vertical cross ray of the first width laser infrared level to pass through the horizontal display ruler and be transmitted to the left and upper edges of the dialysis port mass. The controller also controls the second vertical cross ray of the second width laser infrared level to pass through the horizontal display ruler and be transmitted to the right and lower edges of the other side of the dialysis port mass. The controller controls the moving element to move the horizontal display ruler. When the second infrared receiving element of the horizontal display ruler moves to the position of the second vertical crosshair, the second infrared receiving element transmits its data to the controller, and the controller stops the moving element. At the same time, the first width laser infrared level and the second width laser infrared level transmit the data of the first vertical crosshair and the second vertical crosshair to the controller. The controller calculates the area of ​​the square formed by the first vertical crosshair and the second vertical crosshair, calculates the area of ​​the mass, and displays it on the controller's display.

[0012] When using the aforementioned dialysis redness and swelling assessment device: The controller controls the first vertical cross ray of the first width laser infrared level to pass through the horizontal display ruler and be transmitted to the left and upper edges of the dialysis port mass. The controller also controls the second vertical cross ray of the second width laser infrared level to pass through the horizontal display ruler and be transmitted to the right and lower edges of the dialysis port mass on the other side. The width of the mass is displayed by the distance between the first vertical crosshair of the first vertical crosshair and the second vertical crosshair of the second vertical crosshair, using the second horizontal dimension line of the horizontal display ruler. The length of the mass is displayed by the distance between the first vertical crosshair of the first vertical crosshair and the second vertical crosshair of the second vertical crosshair, using the first horizontal dimension line of the horizontal display ruler.

[0013] When using the aforementioned dialysis redness and swelling assessment device: Based on clinical needs, the detection time cycle is determined, and the tumor width threshold is input through the controller's display. The controller is used to control the redness and swelling width measuring device to measure the width of the lump, and the detection data is stored in the controller's memory; The controller periodically generates an xt-width curve of the tumor over time, and displays the xt-width curve on a monitor; the trend of the tumor width is evaluated through the curve. When the swelling height measuring device measures the width of the lump to be greater than the controlled threshold, the controller activates its alarm to issue an alarm.

[0014] When using the aforementioned dialysis redness and swelling assessment device: Based on clinical needs, the detection time cycle is determined, and the tumor area threshold is input through the controller's display. The controller is used to control the swelling width measuring device to measure the length and width of the lump, and the detection data is stored in the controller's memory; the controller is also used to calculate the area of ​​the lump based on its length and width. The controller periodically generates st area curves of the tumor over time, and displays these curves on a monitor; the trend of tumor area changes is assessed through the curves. When the swelling height measuring device measures the area of ​​the lump to be greater than the control threshold, the controller activates its alarm to issue an alarm.

[0015] When using the aforementioned dialysis redness and swelling assessment device: Based on clinical needs, the detection time cycle is determined, and the tumor volume threshold is input through the controller's display. The controller is used to control the swelling height measuring device to measure the height of the lump, and the detection data is stored in the controller's memory; The controller is used to control the swelling width measuring device to measure the length and width of the lump, and the detection data is stored in the controller's memory; The controller calculates the volume of the tumor based on its height, length, and width. The controller periodically generates a VT-volume curve of the tumor over time, and displays the VT-volume curve on a monitor; the trend of tumor volume change is evaluated through the curve. When the swelling height measuring device measures the volume of the lump to be greater than the control threshold, the controller activates its alarm to issue an alarm.

[0016] When the dialysis redness assessment device is in use, if the longitudinal beam and the transverse beam of the mobile carriage are not on the same horizontal plane, the longitudinal tilt sensor and the transverse tilt sensor of the horizontal adjustment mechanism transmit their data to the controller. The controller controls the longitudinal lifting element and the transverse lifting element of the horizontal adjustment mechanism to drive the longitudinal beam and the transverse beam to swing around the center of the ball connector of the mobile carriage. When the longitudinal beam and the transverse beam are on the same horizontal plane, the controller controls the longitudinal lifting element and the transverse lifting element to stop, thus controlling the longitudinal lifting element and the transverse lifting element to be on the same horizontal plane.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A dialysis redness and swelling assessment device includes a redness and swelling measuring device, a moving mechanism, a redness and swelling display ruler, an infrared thermometer, and a controller. The redness and swelling measuring device includes a laser infrared level. In use, the controller controls the laser infrared level and the redness and swelling display ruler to measure and display the height, length, and width of the dialysis port mass. The controller also calculates the area and volume of the mass and controls the infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of the mass. The controller displays the mass's height curve (ht), width curve (xt), area curve (st), volume curve (vt), and temperature curve (Tt) to assess the trend of mass changes. The controller compares the received height, width, area, volume, and temperature threshold data with the detected data to generate a report, providing a basis for doctors to assess the inflammation of the mass, solving the subjective problem of current visual assessment of masses, and providing accurate, digital measurements of redness and swelling and increased skin temperature around the catheter opening.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figures 1-3 As shown, a dialysis redness assessment device includes: The swelling measurement device 100 includes a swelling height measurement device 101 and a swelling width measurement device 200; Redness and swelling display ruler 400, including transparent vertical display ruler 410 and transparent horizontal display ruler 420; Infrared thermometer 800 and controller 700; The moving mechanism 300 includes a longitudinal moving mechanism 310 and a lateral moving mechanism 320; The swelling measuring device 100, the swelling display ruler 400, and the infrared thermometer 800 are connected to the moving mechanism 300, and the moving mechanism 300 is connected to the bracket 501 of the moving vehicle 500; the controller 700 is connected to the swelling measuring device 100, the moving mechanism 300, the swelling display ruler 400, and the infrared thermometer 800 via control lines.

[0021] In use, the controller 700 controls the swelling measurement device 100 and the swelling display ruler 400 to measure and display the height, length and width of the swelling 602 at the dialysis port 601; The area and volume of the tumor 602 are calculated via controller 700; And control the infrared thermometer 800 to measure the temperature of the mass; The height, width, area, volume, and temperature of the dialysis port 601 and the tumor 602 are displayed on the display 702 of the controller 700. The controller 700 compares the input height, width, area, volume, and temperature threshold data with the detected data to generate a report, providing doctors with a basis for assessing the inflammation of the mass. This addresses the subjectivity of current visual assessments of masses and provides accurate, digital measurements of redness and swelling around the duct opening, as well as elevated skin temperature.

[0022] To measure the height and width of the swelling 602 at the dialysis port 601, the swelling height measuring device 101 includes a first height laser infrared level 110 and a second height laser infrared level 120; the swelling width measuring device 200 includes a first width laser infrared level 210 and a second width laser infrared level 220; the moving mechanism 300 includes multiple moving mechanisms, with the first height laser infrared level 110, the second height laser infrared level 120, the first width laser infrared level 210, and the second width laser infrared level 220 respectively connected to each moving mechanism 300; the vertical display ruler 410 is located opposite the swelling height measuring device 101, and the horizontal display ruler 420 is located opposite the swelling width measuring device 200.

[0023] When using the aforementioned dialysis redness and swelling assessment device, a mobile cart 500 moves the device to the patient's bedside. A moving mechanism 300 moves the redness and swelling height measuring device 101 to a position on the side of the dialysis port 601, aligned with the swelling 602. The first horizontal ray 1101 of the first height laser infrared level 110 of the redness and swelling height measuring device 101 passes through the vertical display ruler 410 and is projected onto the lower surface 603 of the swelling 602 at the dialysis port 601.

The width of the mass 602 in the dialysis port 601 is displayed by the distance difference between the first vertical cross ray 2101 and the second vertical cross ray 2201 that are transmitted to the horizontal display ruler 420. This achieves the purpose of displaying the height and width of the mass 602 in the dialysis port 601.

[0025] In order to enable the redness and swelling height measuring device 101 and the redness and swelling width measuring device 200 to move longitudinally and laterally using the moving mechanism 300, the longitudinal slide rail 3103 of the longitudinal moving mechanism 310 of each moving mechanism 300 is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the first height laser infrared level 110, the second height laser infrared level 120, the first width laser infrared level 210 and the second width laser infrared level 220 respectively.

[0026] To enable the input and measurement of control parameters using the controller 700, the dialysis redness and swelling assessment device includes a programmable controller 700. The controller 700 includes multiple potentiometers 701 and a touch screen display 702.

This causes the first horizontal ray 1101 of the first height laser infrared level 110 to pass through the vertical display ruler 410 and be projected onto the lower surface 603 of the dialysis port 601. The potentiometer 701 of the controller 700 also controls the longitudinal servo motor 3101 of the longitudinal movement mechanism 310 and the lateral servo motor 3201 of the lateral movement mechanism 320, driving the second height laser infrared level 120 to move longitudinally and laterally. This causes the second horizontal ray 1201 of the second height laser infrared level 120 to pass through the vertical display ruler 410 and be projected onto the convex surface of the dialysis port 601 and the convex surface of the dialysis port 602. Position 604; using the potentiometer 701 of the controller 700 to control the longitudinal servo motor 3101 of the longitudinal moving mechanism 310 and the lateral servo motor 3201 of the lateral moving mechanism 320 to drive the first width laser infrared level 210 to move longitudinally and laterally, so that the first vertical cross ray 2101 of the first width laser infrared level 210 passes through the horizontal display ruler 420 and is transmitted to the position on one side of the dialysis port 601 and the tumor 602; using the potentiometer 701 of the controller 700 to control the longitudinal servo motor 3101 of the longitudinal moving mechanism 310 and the lateral servo motor 3201 of the lateral moving mechanism 320 to drive the second width laser infrared level 220 to move longitudinally and laterally, so that the second vertical cross ray 2201 of the second width laser infrared level 220 passes through the horizontal display ruler 420 and is transmitted to the position on the other side of the dialysis port 601 and the tumor 602.

The housing of the lifting mechanism 411 is connected to the bracket 501, and the drive rod of the lifting mechanism 411 is connected to the vertical display ruler 410. The lifting mechanism 411 includes an electric push rod. The vertical display ruler 410 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and includes a parallel dimension line 412, which is parallel to the horizontal line. The parallel dimension line 412 includes a parallel zero line 4121. The vertical display ruler 410 includes a first infrared receiving element 401, and the center line of the first infrared receiving element 401 is on the same horizontal line as the parallel zero line 4121.

When component 401 rises to the position of the first horizontal ray 1101, the first infrared sensor 401 transmits its data to the controller 700, and the controller 700 controls the lifting mechanism 411 to stop. At the same time, the first height laser infrared level 110 and the second height laser infrared level 120 transmit the data of the first horizontal ray 1101 and the second horizontal ray 1201 to the controller 700. The controller 700 calculates the height difference between the first horizontal ray 1101 and the second horizontal ray 1201, calculates the height of the mass 602, and displays it on the display 702 of the controller 700.

The controller 700 controls the swelling height measuring device 101 to measure the height of the lump 602 and stores the test data in the memory of the controller 700. The controller 700 periodically compiles a yt height curve of the lump 602 over time and displays the yt height curve through the display 702. The trend change of the height of the lump 602 is evaluated through the curve. When the swelling height measuring device 101 measures the height of the lump 602 to be greater than the controlled threshold, the controller 700 activates its alarm to issue an alarm.
