The main purpose is to assess the risk of thromboembolism, and take different preventive measures and treatments according to different risk levels. For patients with venous thrombosis, nurses need to measure the leg circumference of their swollen lower limbs every day, and judge whether the patient's condition has improved or worsened by the changes in leg circumference, and take different nursing measures accordingly. At present, the leg circumference is measured manually with a tape measure or a measuring tape in clinical practice. It is necessary to first measure the 10CM distance between the upper and lower edges of the patella, mark it, and then measure the patient's thigh circumference and calf circumference.
[0003] For example, the prior art publication number CN210249845U discloses a leg circumference measuring device. When measuring the leg circumference, the guide tape can be directly extended from the outside of the thigh or calf to the inside, while also ensuring that the end of the tape reaches the inside from the outside of the thigh or calf. The device can avoid lifting the patient's legs and causing discomfort to the patient.
