Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to postoperative rehabilitation nursing technical field, especially a chest band for rehabilitation training after chest operation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Median sternotomy is a classic surgical approach in cardiothoracic surgery, which can also be applied to many neck and internal organ surgeries. The skin incision is from 12 cm below the suprasternal fossa to 1 cm below the xiphoid process. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are incised, and the sternum is split longitudinally. Therefore, after chest surgery, a chest band is usually used to fix the wound to control the thoracic movement. In actual clinical nursing, the therapists and nurses find that a part of patients cannot maintain the correct body position during rehabilitation exercise because of postoperative pain and weakness, which leads to accidental pulling of the incision, aggravates the pain and affects healing. A small part of patients have delirium after surgery, and when they sit up for rehabilitation exercise, they will resist or move the tube randomly, which leads to accidents. Therefore, the therapists and nurses need to support the back and help the patients fix the correct body position with their hands during the whole rehabilitation process, which is very tiring.
