Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a visual air cushion device for preventing pressure injuries. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing number of Category III and IV surgeries, the emergence of major surgeries and new technologies, and the increasing number of time-consuming and difficult surgeries, the vast majority of clinical surgeries currently require patients to remain in the same position under general anesthesia throughout, with the exception of a few special surgeries that require intraoperative position changes. Furthermore, due to the surgeon's precise and consistent operation, nurses are not allowed to move the patient at will. Consequently, intraoperative pressure injuries in the sacrum and coccyx are becoming increasingly common. The occurrence of intraoperative pressure injuries not only causes physical pain and prolongs hospital stays for patients, but also places a heavy economic burden on families and society, consuming significant medical resources.

[0003] There are many existing technologies for anti-pressure injury air cushion devices, such as:

[0004] Chinese patent publication number CN220714199U discloses an air mattress with an anti-pressure sore function, including a bed body, an inflation mechanism, the inflation mechanism including an air pump, the air pump is arranged on the rear side of the bed body; an air inlet pipe, the air inlet pipe is fixed to the left part of the air pump, the left part of the air inlet pipe is fixedly installed with a connecting pipe, the connecting pipe is inserted into the interior of the bed body, main air pipes are provided on both sides of the bed body, the main air pipes are connected to the connecting pipes, bronchial tubes are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two groups of main air pipes, and an air cushion is fixedly installed between the two groups of bronchial tubes; a pressure detector, the pressure detector is arranged on one side of the bed body, and an infrared therapy lamp is provided on the top of the bed body.

[0005] It can be seen that most anti-pressure injury air cushion devices include air mattresses. By setting up a pressure detector, an air pump and an air cushion to cooperate with each other, a timed reminder to turn over is given according to the pressure value information transmitted by the pressure detector. Therefore, when negligence occurs, it will not cause pressure sores in the sacrum and coccyx, and will not cause harm to the patient. However, pressure injuries in the sacrum and coccyx actually occur when the patient lies flat, and the sacrum and coccyx are under the most pressure. When the patient lies flat on the air mattress, the pressure on the sacrum and coccyx of the patient is not actually reduced much. At the same time, when adjusting the air mattress, medical staff cannot adjust the air mattress of the patient's sacrum and coccyx in a targeted manner according to the pressure value information transmitted by the pressure detector.

[0006] In view of this, we propose a visual anti-pressure injury air cushion device. Utility Model Content

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a visual anti-pressure injury air cushion device. Considering that the sacrum and coccyx of patients are prone to pressure injuries during long-term surgery, the visual anti-pressure injury air cushion device of this embodiment includes a buttocks air cushion 200 and a main control device 300. The buttocks air cushion 200 is laid on the operating table and can be adjusted in position on the operating table. The main control device 300 is placed on one side of the operating table. The buttocks air cushion 200 is inflated by the main control device 300, so that the buttocks air cushion 200 lifts the patient's buttocks, thereby reducing the pressure on the patient's sacrum and coccyx.

[0030] In order to facilitate monitoring by medical staff, a base pad 100 is provided between the hip air cushion 200 and the operating bed. A wireless sensor component 110 for detecting the sacrum and coccyx of the human body is provided in the central area of the base pad 100. The wireless sensor component 110 collects pressure information and transmits it to the main control device 300 for processing and display.

[0031] The improvement of this embodiment lies in that: by providing a buttocks air cushion 200 and a main control device 300, the main control device 300 is used to inflate the buttocks air cushion 200, so that the buttocks air cushion 200 lifts the patient's buttocks, thereby reducing the pressure on the patient's sacrum and coccyx, and thus avoiding pressure injuries to the patient's sacrum and coccyx; by providing a wireless sensor component 110 on the base pad 100, the wireless sensor component 110 is used to collect the patient's sacrum and coccyx pressure information in real time, thereby facilitating real-time monitoring by medical staff.

[0032] In order to conform to the shape of the human buttocks and facilitate pressure monitoring of the patient's sacrum and coccyx, there are two buttocks air cushions 200, and a thin pad 202 is laid on the two buttocks air cushions 200. Since the silicone cushion has the characteristics of promoting blood circulation and good breathability for the buttocks, the thin pad 202 is a silicone cushion, and the patient's buttocks are more comfortable after contact with the thin pad 202; the wireless sensor component 110 is arranged at the bottom of the thin pad 202, and the patient's buttocks lie flat on the two buttocks air cushions 200. The two buttocks air cushions 200 are inflated at the same time, so that the patient's buttocks are lifted without major changes in body position.

[0033] Furthermore, how the main control device 300 and the hip air cushion 200 are inflated is disclosed. An inflation port is provided on one side of the hip air cushion 200, and an electric inflation device is provided in the main control device 300. A connecting pipe 201 is connected between the inflation port and the exhaust port of the electric inflation device. Through the connecting pipe 201, the electric inflation device inflates the hip air cushion 200. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the connecting pipe 201 is a stretchable and bendable plastic pipe, which is convenient for changing the position of the main control device 300 at any time. The electric inflation device is an electric inflation pump.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, considering that some patients may place their weight on one side when lying flat, inflating the hip air cushion 200 simultaneously may not meet the requirement of synchronously lifting the patient's hips. Therefore, the main control device 300 is provided with buttons 302 for controlling the power supply of the electric inflation device. The buttons 302 are divided into two groups, each group including an inflation button 302 and a deflation button 302, so as to facilitate the control of a single hip air cushion 200.

[0035] In order to facilitate medical staff to observe the pressure data of the patient's sacrum and coccyx, the main control device 300 is provided with a display 301 for displaying pressure information. The wireless sensor component 110 collects the pressure information and transmits it to the main control device 300, which processes it and displays it on the display 301.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, considering the installation of the wireless sensor component 110, a through groove is provided at the center of the base pad 100, and the wireless sensor component 110 is fixed at the through groove of the base pad 100; the wireless sensor component 110 is composed of a pad block 111, a thin film pressure sensor 112 and an integrated processor 113 from top to bottom, wherein the pad block 111 is sewn into a whole with one side of the base pad 100, which can not only maintain the overall beauty of the base pad 100, but also avoid the thin film pressure sensor 112 from directly contacting the patient and thus sticking to the patient; the integrated processor 113 receives and integrates the data collected by the thin film pressure sensor 112, and then transmits the integrated pressure information to the main control device 300.

[0037] In summary, the working principle of this solution is as follows:

[0038] Before the operation, the positions of the base pad 100 and the hip air cushion 200 on the operating table are adjusted according to the position of the patient's hips. When the patient lies flat on the operating table, the position of the patient's hips coincides with the position of the hip air cushion 200. At this time, the display 301 of the main control device 300 displays the pressure data. Press the button 302 to start the electric inflation device of the main control device 300. The electric inflation device synchronously inflates a single hip air cushion 200 through the connecting tube 201. The patient's hips are slowly raised to observe the pressure data displayed on the display 301 until the pressure data returns to zero and the inflation is stopped. During the operation, the medical staff observes the pressure data displayed on the display 301 in real time. When the pressure data is not zero, the hip air cushion 200 is inflated through the main control device 300.

[0039] Although this specification is described according to implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0040] Therefore, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present application; that is, all equivalent modifications made according to the scope of the claims of the present application are within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
