Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to an injured limb support frame for axillary brachial plexus anesthesia. Background Art

[0002] Brachial plexus block is the most widely used, simplest and most feasible anesthesia method for orthopedic upper limb surgery, and it also has the least impact on the systemic condition. Patients with fresh fractures or injuries to the upper limbs require axillary brachial plexus anesthesia before further surgical treatment. During the axillary brachial plexus anesthesia procedure, the patient's upper limb must be abducted 90 degrees, the elbow flexed 90 degrees, and the forearm externally rotated, thereby exposing the highest point of the axillary artery in the axilla as the location for the anesthetic needle. Clinically, medical staff generally manually grasp the patient's injured limb and swing it to form the required posture, and maintain the grasping state until the anesthesia operation is completed. During the above process, the lower part of the patient's injured limb is not supported, which increases the pain caused by bending and moving. At the same time, the medical staff's poor control of the strength of the patient's injured limb will also increase the patient's pain. Maintaining the state of grasping the patient's injured limb will also cause medical staff hand fatigue and shaking problems. This operation also wastes manpower. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the existing problems in the art of axillary brachial plexus anesthesia, where medical staff have to grasp the patient's injured limb and hold it in an appropriate position, which increases the patient's pain, causes hand fatigue to the medical staff, and wastes manpower. This utility model patent can assist in supporting the patient's injured limb, eliminating the need for manual labor to maintain the injured limb's position, alleviating the patient's pain, eliminating medical staff's hand fatigue, and reducing manpower waste.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A support frame for an injured limb during axillary brachial plexus anesthesia comprises a support base, a telescopic connecting bending plate, a vertical plate and an upper limb support frame; one end of the support base is provided with a bed frame fixing device, and the other end is provided with a telescopic connecting bending plate which is telescopic and movably arranged; the middle part of the telescopic connecting bending plate is bent upward and a rotating shaft is provided at the top; the bottom of the vertical plate is rotatably connected to the telescopic connecting bending plate via a rotating shaft; a vertical movable groove is provided on the vertical plate; the upper limb support frame is movably arranged in the vertical movable groove; the upper limb support frame is provided with a telescopic extension plate.

[0006] The support base is used to support the entire device; the bed frame fixing device is used to fix the entire device to the edge of the operating bed; the telescopic connecting bending plate can be extended and retracted in the support base, so that the extension length of the vertical plate and the upper limb support frame can be adjusted; the rotating shaft can allow the vertical plate to rotate, so that the angle of the upper limb support frame can be adjusted, which can better adapt to different patient conditions; the rotating shaft has a certain damping, so that the vertical plate maintains the current rotation angle state after rotating through a certain angle; the upper limb support frame can move up and down through the movable slot, so as to adjust the height position of the upper limb support frame to make it more suitable for the current patient's needs; the extension plate can further support the patient's injured limb after being extended; a cotton pad can be placed on the upper limb support frame to further reduce the patient's pain.

[0007] As a further technical improvement, the interiors of the support base and the upper limb support frame are both hollowed out and have one side opening. The lower portion of the telescopic connecting bent plate can be movably inserted into the support base, and the extension plate can be movably inserted into the upper limb support frame. The telescopic connecting bent plate extends through the side opening of the support base and extends and retracts within the hollowed-out portion of the support base; the extension plate extends through the side opening of the upper limb support frame and extends and retracts within the hollowed-out portion of the upper limb support frame.
