[0026] 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. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0027] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.
[0028] A scale for assessing postoperative pain during activity, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an assessment ruler body 1, a first slide groove 2 is provided on the top of the assessment ruler body 1, a first slider 3 that fits with the first slide groove 2 is slidably connected in the first slide groove 2, and a first indicator 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the first slider 3, which can push the first slider 3 to slide in the first slide groove 2, thereby driving the first indicator 4 to move. An NRS pain score indicator line 5 is provided on one side of the assessment ruler body 1, and the NRS pain score indicator line 5 is 10 points, and its level increases from left to right. The NRS pain index can be judged by the position of the first indicator 4, and a plurality of first lamp bodies 6 are provided on the surface of the NRS pain score indicator line 5. A plurality of first control buttons 7 that fit with the first lamp bodies 6 are provided above the NRS pain score indicator line 5, and the first indicator 4 fits with the first control button 7. Therefore, when the first indicator 4 moves to the corresponding position, the first control button 7 corresponding to the NRS pain index is pressed, and the corresponding first lamp body 6 can be lit, so that the postoperative patient and medical staff can intuitively understand the NRS pain index.
[0029] A second slide groove 8 is further provided on one side of the evaluation ruler body 1, and a second slider 9 that fits with the second slide groove 8 is slidably connected in the second slide groove 8. A second indicator mark 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the second slider 9. By pushing the second slider 9 to slide in the second slide groove 8, the second indicator mark 10 is driven to move. A FAS pain score indicator line 11 is provided on the other side of the evaluation ruler body 1, and the FAS pain score indicator line 11 is divided into 4 levels, and the levels increase from top to bottom until the second indicator mark 10 moves to the corresponding FAS pain level position. A plurality of second lamp bodies 12 are provided on the outer surface of the FAS pain score indicator line 11, and a plurality of second control buttons 13 that fit with the second lamp body 12 are provided on one side of the FAS pain score indicator line 11. The first indicator 10 and the second indicator 10 are matched with several second control buttons 13. When the second indicator 10 moves to the corresponding position, the second control button 13 will be squeezed to make the corresponding second lamp body 12 light up, so that the postoperative patient and medical staff can intuitively understand the FAS pain level. At the same time, a voice output device 15 is installed at the bottom of the assessment scale body 1. When the first indicator 4 and the second indicator 10 move to the corresponding positions, the corresponding NRS pain index content and FAS pain level content can be synchronously broadcast through the voice output device 15, which is conducive to making the patient's postoperative active pain assessment process faster and more efficient. With the intuitive visual and voice output functions, postoperative patients can express their pain feelings more accurately, reducing assessment errors caused by poor communication or misunderstanding.
[0030] A rubber layer 14 is provided in the first chute 2 and the second chute 8 to increase the friction between the first slider 3 and the first chute 2 and between the second slider 9 and the second chute 8. Therefore, when the external force is small, the first slider 3 and the second slider 9 cannot slide, thereby avoiding affecting the use of the assessment ruler body 1. The first slider 3 and the second slider 9 are both set to a "T"-shaped structure to increase their sliding stability.
[0031] Then, an electronic component placement groove 16 is provided at the bottom of the evaluation ruler body 1, and electronic components can be placed in the electronic component placement groove 16, thereby providing power support for the evaluation ruler body 1, and a card slot 17 is provided in the electronic component placement groove 16, and a card block 18 that fits with the card slot 17 is slidably connected in the card slot 17, and a damping structure is provided at the connection between the card slot 17 and the card block 18, so that the card block 18 cannot slide when the external force is small. The card block 18 fits with the electronic component placement groove 16, which can ensure the stability of the battery or electronic component and prevent loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force. In addition, a plurality of protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the card block 18, which can increase the friction between the card block 18 and the contact surface, so as to better drive it to slide in the card slot 17.
[0032] At the same time, a pain expression patch 19, a first evaluation annotation sticker 20 and a second evaluation annotation sticker 21 are adhered to the side of the assessment ruler main body 1 near the NRS pain score indicator line 5. The pain expression patch 19 is located above the first evaluation annotation sticker 20, so the pain expression patch 19 can intuitively convey the degree of pain to the postoperative patient, and the second evaluation annotation sticker 21 is located below the first evaluation annotation sticker 20. The first evaluation annotation sticker 20 is located between the pain expression patch 19 and the second evaluation annotation sticker 21. The first evaluation annotation sticker 20 and the second evaluation annotation sticker 21 can respectively clearly mark the information of different levels of NRS pain. Further, a third evaluation annotation sticker 22 is adhered to the side of the assessment ruler main body 1 near the FAS pain score indicator line 11. Therefore, the third evaluation annotation sticker 22 can clearly mark the information of different levels of FAS pain, so that postoperative patients can intuitively understand their pain conditions.
[0033] The first assessment stickers 20 are as follows from left to right: 1-3 points for mild pain, I feel pain, but I can still sleep at night; 4-7 points for moderate pain, I feel pain and cannot sleep well at night; 8-10 points for severe pain, it is too painful and I cannot sleep at all at night, and the second assessment stickers 21 are as follows from left to right: I feel good, no pain, no analgesia is needed; I feel a little pain, but it is bearable, no drug analgesia is needed; I clearly feel the pain addiction, a little bit unbearable, need psychological comfort and moderate analgesia; I feel very painful, can't eat, can't sleep well at night, need to use drug analgesia treatment regularly; it is too painful, it hurts when I move, and I can't sleep at night, need to use drug analgesia, and take combined analgesia when necessary. Drug analgesia; the pain is so severe that it is completely unbearable, and I have to maintain a certain posture to relieve the pain. NSAIDs and opioids are used for multimodal analgesia. At the same time, the third assessment indicates that the contents of sticker 22 from top to bottom are as follows: pain does not limit functional activities at all, and the patient can complete a certain functional activity as usual; pain slightly limits functional activities, and the patient can carry out functional activities normally after non-drug measures (such as relaxation therapy, psychological care, ice compress, massage); Grade III, pain severely limits functional activities, and the patient cannot try to carry out functional activities after non-drug measures (such as relaxation therapy, psychological care, ice compress, massage); pain severely limits functional activities, and the patient cannot try to carry out functional activities after non-drug measures (such as relaxation therapy, psychological care, ice compress, massage).
[0034] In this embodiment, a sticker indicating postoperative function can be affixed to the surface of the assessment ruler body 1. For example, postoperative functional activities for orthopedic surgery include muscle strength training, hip flexion and extension exercises, sitting up in bed, standing beside the bed, walking on the ground, etc. This makes it convenient for surgical patients to exercise according to the prompts on the sticker. When the patient's pain management target is within the range of FAS ≤ grade III and NRS ≤ 4 points, early functional exercise can be performed. If the pain management target is higher than the target, the patient can be reported to the nurse for treatment.
