[0028] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the utility model to achieve the predetermined utility model purposes, the following will combine the figures and the preferred embodiments, and the specific implementation, structure, features and effects according to the utility model are described in detail as follows.

[0029] Please refer to Figs. 1-3The chest compression belt with monitoring function comprises a chest belt body 1, a shoulder strap 2, an intelligent monitoring unit 3, and a control terminal. The chest belt body 1 wraps the patient's chest, the shoulder strap 2 is fixed to the upper end of the chest belt body 1, and the shoulder strap 2 is an elastic strap with adjustable length. The chest belt body 1 is provided with a compression air bag 4, the compression air bag 4 comprises a first air bag 41, a second air bag 42, and a third air bag 43. The first air bag 41 is arranged at the left front chest position of the chest belt body 1, the second air bag 42 is arranged at the right front chest position of the chest belt body 1, and the third air bag 43 is arranged at the back position of the chest belt body 1. The first air bag 41, the second air bag 42, and the third air bag 43 are respectively connected to the air pump through independent air valves. The intelligent monitoring unit 3 is used for monitoring the heart rate and breathing frequency of the patient and feeding back the monitoring data to the control terminal. The control terminal adjusts the operation of each group of air valves and air pumps according to the feedback data.

[0030] The working principle of the chest compression belt of the present application is as follows:

[0031] The chest belt body 1 is used for wrapping the patient's chest to provide necessary support and protection. The shoulder strap 2 is connected to the chest belt through an adjustable elastic strap to ensure that the device is stably and comfortably fitted to the patient's body. The compression air bag 4 is composed of three air bags located at the left front chest, right front chest, and back, respectively. These air bags are connected to the air pump through independent air valves to ensure the flexibility of control. Each air bag is adjusted individually to apply precise pressure in different chest areas. The patient's heart rate and breathing frequency are monitored in real time. The control system is provided with real-time information through data feedback. The monitoring data is received. The operation of the air valve and the air pump is adjusted according to the current physiological condition of the patient to realize dynamic adjustment of the compression strength.

[0032] The automatic adjustment mechanism can dynamically adjust the compression strength of the chest according to the real-time monitoring data of the patient. Different patients and the same patient at different time periods can obtain customized compression support, which is crucial for the patient's recovery and comfort. Through real-time adjustment of the applied pressure, discomfort or pain caused by excessive pressure can be effectively avoided, and insufficient fixation caused by pressure below the necessary level can be prevented. The comfort of the patient is enhanced, and the rehabilitation process is promoted. The design of the chest compression belt can effectively support the breathing process. Proper pressure helps to expand the lungs and improve ventilation. The combination of intelligent monitoring and pressure adjustment ensures that the pressure can be adjusted in time when the patient's breathing status changes, protecting the patient's respiratory function. When the patient's heart rate or breathing frequency is abnormal, the control system can immediately respond to adjust the compression state to prevent the patient from feeling difficult to breathe or other emergency situations. The rapid feedback mechanism greatly improves the safety and effectiveness of the device, which is particularly important for critically ill patients.

[0033] In order to better adapt to different body shapes and provide personalized care, in the embodiment, the first air bag 41 is provided with multiple groups, each group of first air bags 41 is connected to the air pump through an independent air valve, and the second air bag 42 is provided with multiple groups, each group of second air bags 42 is connected to the air pump through an independent air valve. The design of multiple groups of air bags allows independent pressure to be applied to different areas of the chest, and the partitioned pressure can be adjusted according to the different needs and injury conditions of the patient. For example, the left and right chest areas may require different pressure intensities due to different injury levels; the body types and chest anatomical structures of different patients are diverse, and the arrangement of multiple groups of air bags allows the device to better adapt to different body shapes and provide personalized care; each group of air bags is connected to the air pump through an independent air valve, so that the control system can monitor and independently adjust the pressure of each group of air bags in real time; if the pressure of a certain group of air bags is too low or too high, the system can quickly adjust to ensure that appropriate support is always provided; when breathing is difficult, painful or otherwise uncomfortable, the control system can quickly adjust the pressure of the specific air bag to provide pressure or reduce pressure in time, thereby quickly relieving the patient's discomfort; through the precise control of the pressure, complications such as atelectasis and intrathoracic fluid accumulation can be effectively prevented. When the patient's breathing rate is abnormal, the system can adjust the pressure of the related air bags to improve the patient's ventilation.

[0034] In order to allow medical staff to quickly adjust the air bag pressure through manual operation to adapt to different treatment purposes and needs, in the embodiment, the first air bag 41 is connected with a first inflation and deflation balloon, and the second air bag 42 is connected with a second inflation and deflation balloon. In some cases, patients can be educated to manage their discomfort by manually adjusting the inflation and deflation, which helps to improve patient comfort and participation; in some emergency situations, such as air pump failure, the manual inflation and deflation system can serve as an alternative to ensure that patients can still receive the necessary support, and medical staff can quickly adjust the air bag pressure through manual operation to prevent the patient from being in crisis; in different treatment stages, the needs and physical state of the patient may change, and the manual method can allow medical staff to quickly adjust the inflation and deflation process of the air bag according to the patient's feedback to adapt to different treatment purposes and needs.

[0035] In order to realize the dynamic adjustment of the air valve and the air pump through the monitoring of heart rate and respiratory rate by the intelligent monitoring unit 3, in the embodiment, the intelligent monitoring unit 3 comprises a heart rate sensor 31 and a respiratory rate sensor 32. The heart rate sensor 31 is used to monitor and record the heart rate of the patient, and the respiratory rate sensor 32 is used to detect and record the respiratory rate of the patient. According to the baseline heart rate and respiratory rate of the patient, the air valve and the air pump maintain stable airbag pressure according to the predetermined standard program; when the patient is in daily activities or at rest, the appropriate air pressure helps to provide support to the chest and enhance respiratory efficiency; when the heart rate rises significantly, the control terminal sends instructions to the air pump to reduce the pressure of the airbag, reduce the burden of the respiratory muscle, reduce the feeling of fatigue, and help the heart rate to return to the normal level; when the heart rate decreases significantly and the respiratory rate decreases abnormally, the intelligent monitoring unit 3 can command the air pump to increase the pressure of the airbag, relieve the discomfort of the patient, promote the recovery of the heart rate, and increase the airbag pressure to help guide the patient to breathe, thereby preventing hypopnea and ensuring oxygen supply. Through the monitoring of heart rate and respiratory rate, the intelligent monitoring unit 3 realizes the dynamic adjustment of the air valve and the air pump, automatically adjusts the airbag pressure according to the different physiological states of the patient, and the real-time feedback and adjustment mechanism ensures that the patient obtains the required respiratory support in different situations, not only improves the comfort, but also reduces the risk of complications, and provides strong guarantee for the rehabilitation process of the patient.

[0036] In order to ensure that the data is updated instantaneously in the control terminal, and help the doctor or nursing staff to quickly understand the state of the patient, in the embodiment, the intelligent monitoring unit 3 further comprises a pressure sensor 33 for monitoring and recording the pressure of each group of airbags on the chest of the patient. The pressure sensor 33 can monitor the pressure applied by the airbag to the chest of the patient in real time, ensure that the data is updated instantaneously in the control terminal, and help the doctor or nursing staff to quickly understand the state of the patient; by continuously detecting the pressure, the system can quickly adapt to the physiological changes of the patient, adjust the working state of the air pump and the air valve; by continuously detecting the pressure, the system can quickly adapt to the physiological changes of the patient, adjust the working state of the air pump and the air valve; monitoring the chest pressure can ensure that the airbag does not exert excessive pressure, thereby ensuring that the airway of the patient is unobstructed, and avoiding respiratory difficulty and hypoxia.

[0037] In order to alleviate the discomfort of the patient during the treatment process, and make the patient feel more comfortable when using the air bag, based on this, in the embodiment, the first air bag 41 is provided with a first pressure relief pad 5 close to the side of the patient, the second air bag 42 is provided with a second pressure relief pad 6 close to the side of the patient, and the third air bag 43 is provided with a third pressure relief pad 7 close to the side of the patient. The existence of the pressure relief pad can effectively disperse the pressure of the air bag on the patient's body, alleviate the compression of the specific parts (such as chest, back, etc.), and reduce the discomfort caused by long-term pressure; especially in the case of long-term use of the air bag device, the pressure relief pad can reduce the compression of the local skin and soft tissue, reduce the risk of pressure ulcers (chronic ulcers), and protect the skin health; the pressure relief pad is usually made of soft material, which can improve the fit of the air bag on the patient's body, thereby improving the comfort of use and avoiding the compression caused by hard material on the body.

[0038] In order to prevent dirt accumulation and prolong the service life of the air bag, based on this, in the embodiment, the first pressure relief pad 5 is detachably fixed on the first air bag 41, the second pressure relief pad 6 is detachably fixed on the second air bag 42, and the third pressure relief pad 7 is detachably fixed on the third air bag 43. The detachable design makes the pressure relief pad easy to clean and disinfect, reduces the risk of bacterial growth, and ensures the hygiene during use; regular cleaning of the pressure relief pad can prevent dirt accumulation, prolong its service life, and maintain the functionality of the equipment; different patients may have different comfort needs and body characteristics, and the detachable pressure relief pad can be replaced and adjusted according to the individual needs of the patient, providing customized support, and if a pressure relief pad is damaged or uncomfortable during use, it can be easily replaced to ensure that the performance of the air bag is not affected.

[0039] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Although the present application has been disclosed as above, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above disclosed technical content without departing from the scope of the present application, and any equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes are equivalent to the above embodiments.
