Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of nausea and vomiting assessment technology for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients, and more particularly to a device for assessing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. Background Technology

[0002] Assessing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients requires considering the patient's subjective feelings, so the assessment should be visually clear, easy for nurses to carry, and readily available for evaluation. Once the score reaches 4 points or higher, medication intervention should be initiated.

[0003] Therefore, there is currently no corresponding standard for the traditional assessment of nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. Medical staff primarily assess nausea and vomiting through a combination of facial expression scores, numerical scores, verbal description scores, and visual analog scales to facilitate on-the-spot evaluation. However, traditional scoring methods have the following drawbacks: 1. The lack of established standards or regulations makes it difficult for medical staff to determine a rating based on the patient's condition; 2. The combination of multiple assessment criteria can easily interfere with the selection or judgment process by either the patient or the medical staff. Therefore, designing a more convenient and intuitive simulation assessment device is a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a device for assessing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. The device incorporates a facial expression scoring scale within a digital scoring scale, making it convenient for medical staff to carry and select the most suitable assessment tool for the patient.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A device for assessing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients includes a digital scoring scale and a facial expression scoring scale. The bottom of the digital scoring scale is provided with a cavity adapted for sliding insertion of the facial expression scoring scale. The side of the facial expression scoring scale is provided with a receiving groove, in which a roller is rotatably installed. The roller rolls in cooperation with the side wall of the cavity.

[0007] The addition of rollers on the side of the facial expression scoring scale makes it easier for medical staff to remove the scale from its slot on the digital scoring scale.

[0008] Preferably, the side end of the facial expression scoring scale is connected to a sliding protrusion via a connecting rod. The sliding protrusion is located at the opposite end of the roller. The side end of the cavity is provided with a sliding groove, and the connecting rod passes through the sliding groove and is fixed to the sliding protrusion.

[0009] By applying an upward or downward pushing force to the sliding protrusion, the facial expression scoring scale can be smoothly pulled out or pushed in from the receiving slot of the digital scoring scale.

[0010] Preferably, the sliding protrusion is provided with a friction-enhancing rack.

[0011] Preferably, the digital scoring scale is flipped up and connected to a visual analog scoring scale, and a visual analog scoring indicator color bar is installed in the middle of the visual analog scoring scale.

[0012] Preferably, the digital scoring scale has digital indicator graduations.

[0013] Preferably, the facial expression scoring scale includes an indication of nausea and vomiting.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages or beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application include:

[0015] 1. By adding rollers to the side of the facial expression scoring scale, medical staff can more easily remove the scale from its slot on the digital scoring scale. This avoids the possibility of the scale getting stuck due to uneven force at both ends when being removed.

[0016] 2. Staff can choose to use either the facial expression scoring scale or the digital scoring scale according to their actual needs. If the facial expression scoring scale is needed, it can be pulled out from the storage slot at the bottom of the digital scoring scale. This makes it more convenient for staff to store and use, and easier to carry. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following detailed description of the embodiments of this application, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a thorough understanding of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve corresponding technical effects, enabling its implementation. The embodiments of this application and the various features within them can be combined with each other without conflict, and all resulting technical solutions are within the protection scope of this application.

[0021] It should be clearly stated that the embodiments described below are merely some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Example 1

[0022] A device for assessing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients includes a digital scoring ruler 4 and a facial expression scoring ruler 5. The bottom of the digital scoring ruler 4 is provided with a cavity 7 adapted to slide into the facial expression scoring ruler 5. The side of the facial expression scoring ruler 5 is provided with a receiving groove, in which a roller 8 is rotatably installed. The roller 8 rolls in cooperation with the side wall of the cavity 7.

[0023] The advantages of roller 8 are:

[0024] When staff need to display the facial expression scoring scale 5, they can pull it out from the bottom of the digital scoring scale 4 by pulling its lower end. One side of the facial expression scoring scale 5 is connected to the wall of the receiving groove via rollers 8, which reduces resistance to its sliding and facilitates its up-and-down movement. However, if rollers 8 were installed on both sides of the facial expression scoring scale 5, the friction between it and the digital scoring scale 4 would be too low, potentially causing the facial expression scoring scale 5 to slide out on its own.

[0025] In the diagram: 1. Visual analog scoring scale, 2. Visual analog scoring indicator color bar, 4. Numerical scoring scale, 5. Facial expression scoring scale, 6. Sliding protrusion, 7. Cavity, 8. Roller, 9. Friction-enhancing rack.

[0026] The side end of the facial expression scoring ruler 5 is connected to a sliding protrusion 6 via a connecting rod. The sliding protrusion 6 is located at the opposite end of the roller 8. The side end of the cavity 7 is provided with a sliding groove, and the connecting rod passes through the sliding groove and is fixed to the sliding protrusion 6.

[0027] The facial expression scoring scale 5 is driven by pushing the sliding protrusion 6 up and down, which makes it easier to apply force.

[0028] In this embodiment, the sliding protrusion 6 is provided with a friction-enhancing rack 9.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the digital scoring ruler 4 is flipped and connected to a visual simulation scoring ruler 1 at its upper end, and a visual simulation scoring indicator color bar 2 is installed in the middle of the visual simulation scoring ruler 1.

[0030] When staff need to use the visual simulation rating indicator color bar 2, they can flip the visual simulation rating ruler 1 upwards, and then use the visual simulation rating indicator color bar as the basis for evaluation.

[0031] In this embodiment, the digital scoring ruler 4 is provided with digital indicator scales.

[0032] In this embodiment, the facial expression scoring ruler 5 is equipped with a nausea and vomiting indicator expression. Example 2

[0033] This embodiment provides a detailed description of the definition and classification of nausea and vomiting:

[0034] For nausea symptoms:

[0035] Level 1: Decreased appetite, without changes in eating habits.

[0036] Grade 2: Reduced oral intake without significant weight loss, dehydration, or malnutrition.

[0037] Level 3: Insufficient oral intake of energy and water, requiring nasogastric feeding, total parenteral nutrition, or hospitalization.

[0038] For vomiting symptoms:

[0039] Level 1: 1-2 times within 24 hours (with an interval of more than 5 minutes between each time).

[0040] Level 2: 3-5 times within 24 hours (with an interval of more than 5 minutes between each time).

[0041] Grade 3: ≥6 episodes within 24 hours (with intervals greater than 5 minutes between each episode).

[0042] Level 4: Life-threatening, requires urgent treatment.

[0043] Medical staff classify nausea and vomiting based on the different reactions of patients, thereby determining whether medication should be used for intervention.
