Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary appliances, in particular to a chest tube fixing device. Background Art
[0002] Leaving a drainage tube in place for a patient is a common clinical nursing method. The drainage tube is used to drain pus, blood, fluid and other accumulated fluids between human tissues or in the body cavity to the outside of the body, thereby alleviating the pressure of the accumulated fluid on the thoracic and abdominal organs and preventing postoperative infection from affecting wound healing. The drainage tube needs to be properly fixed, with sufficient length and fixed to the edge of the bed to avoid pain or dislocation caused by turning over and pulling.
[0003] Common thoracentesis has different puncture sites depending on the needs. The puncture point for draining pleural effusion is usually at the sixth or seventh rib mid-axillary line or posterior axillary line, and the chest tube used is thinner and has a valve. The puncture point for pneumothorax is usually at the second rib of the anterior chest, and the chest tube used is thicker. However, in actual situations, the specific puncture point will also be adjusted accordingly depending on the specific condition of the disease.
[0004] However, the problem of chest tube dislodgment often occurs. Patients are confused and agitated, lack knowledge of relevant diseases and knowledge of indwelling drainage tubes, have weak self-protection awareness and poor awareness of chest tube care. When getting out of bed, turning over or changing clothes, they inadvertently pull on the chest tube, causing it to slip off. This not only increases the patient's pain, aggravates the patient's condition and delays healing, but may also cause medical disputes. Therefore, medical staff should pay great attention to it.
[0005] To this end, we propose a chest tube fixation device. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a chest tube fixing device.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention object, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0008] A chest tube fixing device comprises a front chest pad, on which a plurality of front chest tube holes matching chest cavity puncture points are formed, and a pre-tightening belt for compressing the chest tube is transversely formed on the front chest pad; a rear chest pad, on which a plurality of rear chest tube holes matching chest cavity puncture points are formed, and a liner whose number matches the number of the rear chest tube holes is formed on the rear chest pad, the liner is located below the rear chest tube holes, a valve placement groove is formed on the liner, the valve placement groove and the rear chest tube holes are located on the same vertical line, and the rear chest pad and the front chest pad are connected via a shoulder strap on the top and adjustment belts on both sides.
[0009] By providing a front chest pad and a rear chest pad, the front chest pad and the rear chest pad are connected by shoulder straps and an adjustment strap to form a vest shape, so that the patient can wear it, and the chest tube is passed through the corresponding front chest tube hole or the rear chest tube hole. The front chest pad and the rear chest pad can well protect the tube placement site, and providing another layer of padding on the rear chest pad can prevent a thinner chest tube for draining pleural effusion from being fixed on the rear chest pad and causing pressure marks on the patient's body, thereby improving comfort; providing a valve placement groove on the pad can well place the valve on the chest tube, avoid the valve being completely exposed to the outside, reduce the volume of the raised part, and improve protection; providing a pre-tightening belt on the front chest pad can well compress and fix the thicker chest tube used for pneumothorax, prevent the end of the chest tube from tilting up, protect the chest tube placed on the front chest, and can effectively protect and fix the chest tube placed on the front chest or back.
[0010] It is further defined that two pre-tensioning belts are provided at intervals, both of which are provided below the front chest tube hole, the two ends of the two pre-tensioning belts are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front chest pad, the pre-tensioning belts are made of elastic material, and the middle part of the pre-tensioning belts fits with the front chest pad in an unstressed state; providing two pre-tensioning belts can enhance the compression effect on the chest tube.
[0011] It is further defined that both the front chest tube hole and the rear chest tube hole are lined with sleeves; lining the front chest tube hole and the rear chest tube hole with sleeves can improve the hardness of the hole walls of the front chest tube hole and the rear chest tube hole, improve stability and thus improve the fixation effect.
[0012] It is further defined that the fixed end of the shoulder strap is connected to the rear chest pad, a connecting ring is provided on the front chest pad at the position corresponding to the shoulder strap, and Velcro is provided on the shoulder strap. The free end of the shoulder strap passes through the connecting ring and is fixed by the Velcro; fixing the shoulder strap by Velcro can adjust the height of the front chest pad and the rear chest pad, and the shoulder strap needs to bear the weight of the front chest pad and the rear chest pad. The use of Velcro will not have any bulges and is more comfortable.
[0013] It is further defined that the adjustment strap is of two sections, the two sections of the adjustment strap are respectively connected to the front chest pad and the back chest pad, and the free ends of the two sections of the adjustment strap are connected by a Japanese-shaped buckle; the adjustment strap connected by the Japanese-shaped buckle is more stable, and the adjustment strap is arranged on both sides of the chest pad, is less affected by gravity, and has less impact on comfort.
[0014] It is further defined that the pad is connected and fixed to the rear chest pad by Velcro; the pad and the rear chest pad are connected by Velcro, which facilitates the adjustment, removal and replacement of the pad.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by arranging the front chest pad and the rear chest pad to form a vest shape, the chest tube holes are opened on the front chest pad and the rear chest pad to effectively fix and protect the chest tube to prevent it from falling off, and the structure is simple and easy to use.
