Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of health care technology, and in particular relates to an automatic bathing device for paralyzed patients and a multifunctional nursing bed. Background Technology

[0002] Current situation: Patients suffer from injuries (such as sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage and stroke, hemiplegia or total paralysis, limb sprains or even fractures, etc.) that affect normal limb movement and require long-term bed rest. All eating, drinking and relieving themselves are done in bed. For patients, the inconvenience of movement leads to the pollution of their body and environment by urine and feces. Over time, this can easily lead to bedsores and other secondary illnesses, causing great caregiving pain for their families. The lack of opportunities for patients to sit up, eat, wash their hair and bathe, avoid air pollution, and have a spiritual life can easily lead to irritability and a deterioration in mental state. The interaction between bed rest, urination and defecation, and diet can result in a loss of dignity and a significant decline in quality of life during bed rest.

[0003] For paralyzed patients, regular bathing is essential. However, due to the many inconveniences involved in bathing paralyzed patients, caregivers often resort to wiping their bodies instead of bathing. This is far from meeting the basic skin cleanliness needs of paralyzed patients. Currently, the most effective solution to the difficulty of bathing paralyzed patients is to transfer them from their nursing beds to the bathroom. However, the process of moving paralyzed patients is quite complicated, causing them great pain and increasing the risk of accidental injury, while also increasing the workload of caregivers.
