Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and in particular relates to a portable intelligent arm circumference measuring instrument. Background Art
[0002] Surgery is the main treatment for breast cancer. Breast cancer-related lymphedema is a common chronic complication after breast cancer surgery, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life and increases the patient's psychological and economic burden. There is no good cure for breast cancer-related lymphedema, and patients need to prevent it themselves throughout their lives. Therefore, patient self-management is particularly important for the prevention and control of lymphedema. The group standard for the prevention and care of postoperative lymphedema after breast cancer points out that lymphedema management should be performed on patients undergoing breast cancer surgery, including preoperative lymphedema baseline assessment, postoperative lymphedema risk screening, and lymphedema prevention and treatment. In the basic prevention measures for lymphedema, it is particularly important to identify the early symptoms of lymphedema and provide timely treatment. Identifying changes in the size of the arm circumference of the affected limb is an important measure.
[0003] The assessment tools for postoperative lymphedema after breast cancer surgery include the Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Symptom Index Scale, Upper Limb Lymphedema Telephone Questionnaire, and circumference measurement. The circumference measurement method is recommended as an objective measurement method suitable for patients to conduct self-monitoring. The group standard proposes that the circumference measurement method be used as follows: use a non-elastic tape measure to measure the circumference of both limbs on site; the measurement points are the base of the thumb, the wrist crease of the upper limb, 10 cm above the wrist crease, the cubital fossa and 10 cm above the cubital fossa, and the top of the armpit; or start from the wrist along the ulna or radius of the arm, and measure the circumference every 10 cm. During the measurement, the arm circumference of each point is measured twice, and the average is taken; the circumference measurement method is an important method for preoperative baseline assessment of lymphedema and postoperative assessment of the severity of lymphedema.
[0004] When clinical nurses perform baseline assessment of lymphedema before surgery and arm circumference measurement after surgery, they use traditional leather tape measures, which need to be done in two steps. First, measure on the arm and mark the measurement points of each arm circumference with a marker at 10cm, 20cm, and 30cm. Then use a tape measure to measure the arm circumference at each marked point. At the same time, paper forms need to be used for separate records, and then registered in the computer-side information collection system after completion. The entire process of collecting data is cumbersome and complicated. When guiding patients to conduct self-monitoring arm circumference measurement at home, it is recommended to use two tape measures for marking and measurement, and then record the data separately. Single-person operation is time-consuming and inconvenient, which reduces the patient's compliance with self-monitoring, and is particularly inconvenient for elderly people living alone to measure themselves. If patients do not compare and analyze the recorded values separately, they often cannot find the early changes in arm circumference of lymphedema, making the measurement of arm circumference a formality, just to complete the measurement task assigned by the nurse, and it does not play a warning role.
[0005] In summary, the existing technology has the problems that the traditional data collection process is cumbersome and complicated, the single-person operation takes a long time, the self-test is inconvenient, and the recorded data cannot play a warning role without analysis and comparison.
