[0022] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a postpartum hemorrhage monitoring device, comprising: a mattress 5 and a sensing component. The mattress 5 has a cavity 6, and the sensing component is disposed within the cavity 6. A support component is disposed on the sensing end of the sensing component, serving to collect the blood flowing from the mother. The sensing component measures the pressure of the support component. A hole communicating with the cavity 6 is opened at the top of the mattress 5, and one end of the support component passes through the hole and is detachably connected to the mattress 5. A drainage component is disposed at the top of the support component. The sensing component is electrically connected to a digital converter 9, and the digital converter 9 is electrically connected to a display screen. Specifically, the signal receiving end of the digital converter 9 is electrically connected to the signal output end of the sensing component, and the signal output end of the digital converter 9 is electrically connected to the signal receiving end of the display screen. In use, the support component is first installed on the mattress 5, and then the mother lies on the mattress 5. Blood flows onto the support component, and pressure is applied to the sensing component, achieving real-time monitoring of the amount of postpartum bleeding. After the sensing component measures the amount of postpartum bleeding, the specific value is transmitted to the display screen via the digital converter 9, achieving an immediate and intuitive reflection of the blood volume. This allows medical staff to view the data in real time. The entire process is simple and quick, not only highly efficient but also reducing the workload of medical staff. In practical use, the digital converter 9 can be an A / D converter, and the display screen can be either LCD or LED.

[0023] In this embodiment, a protective cover 1 is fitted onto the mattress 5 to maintain cleanliness, prevent infection, improve comfort, and facilitate replacement and washing. In actual use, the protective cover 1 can be made of a skin-friendly material to further enhance the comfort of the mother.

[0024] In this embodiment, the sensing component includes a pressure sensor 7 and a placement plate 8. The pressure sensor 7 is fixedly installed inside the cavity 6, and the placement plate 8 is fixedly installed on the pressure sensor 7. The pressure sensor 7 is electrically connected to a digital converter 9, and the carrier component abuts against the placement plate 8. That is, the signal receiving end of the digital converter 9 is electrically connected to the signal output end of the pressure sensor 7. When blood flows into the carrier component, the carrier component applies pressure to the pressure sensor 7 through the placement plate 8, thereby achieving the effect of real-time monitoring of the postpartum hemorrhage, enabling medical personnel to make timely judgments. In actual use, the pressure sensor 7 can be an MPX4250.

[0025] In this embodiment, the support assembly includes a support chamber 10 and a padding pad 2. The support chamber 10 abuts against a placement plate 8, and the open end of the support chamber 10 is located at the bottom of the padding pad 2. The padding pad 2 is detachably connected to the mattress 5, and a drainage component is disposed on the padding pad 2. In use, the support chamber 10 is placed on the placement plate 8, and then the padding pad 2 is placed on the mattress 5 and secured to prevent it from sliding freely and causing blood to flow to other areas. Simultaneously, the drainage component guides the blood into the support chamber 10, preventing turbulent blood flow. This avoids contamination of surrounding equipment and the environment and improves the accuracy of blood loss calculation. In practical use, the support assembly can be designed as a disposable product, ensuring cleanliness, hygiene, and ease of use.

[0026] In actual use, the pad 2 is designed with a skin-friendly and highly permeable structure, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and its modified materials, cotton, linen, etc., to enhance the breathability, skin-friendliness, and permeability of the pad, providing postpartum women with better comfort. The bearing chamber 10 can be coated with a waterproof layer, or a waterproof partition sleeve can be fixedly fitted on the outside of the bearing chamber 10 to prevent blood from penetrating the bearing chamber and contaminating the cavity 6.

[0027] In this embodiment, a water-absorbing block 11 is provided inside the carrying chamber 10. The water-absorbing block 11 can quickly absorb and lock the blood, preventing the blood from flowing or splashing around inside the carrying chamber 10, thereby improving the efficiency of blood collection and reducing the risk of contamination.

[0028] In this embodiment, the drainage component is configured as multiple waterproof drainage strips 3, which are fixedly installed on the laying pad 2 to guide blood into the carrying chamber 10 and prevent blood from flowing erratically.

[0029] In actual use, the location and size of the cavity 6 and the hole are set according to the actual situation. The pad 2 is laid on top of the hole and is taut and fixed on the mattress 5, which can effectively reduce the weight exerted by the mother on the pressure sensor 7, thereby reducing the impact on the pressure sensor 7. During use, the weight that the mother may exert on the pressure sensor 7 can also be removed beforehand to make the results more accurate.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] In this embodiment, hook-and-loop fasteners are fixedly connected to the pad 2, and loop fasteners are fixedly connected to the mattress 5. The loop fasteners and hook-and-loop fasteners are bonded together, allowing the pad 2 to be quickly laid on the mattress 5 during use, and also making disassembly and reassembly relatively convenient and quick. In actual use, hook-and-loop fasteners can be fixedly connected to all four sides of the pad 2, and loop fasteners can be fixedly connected to the corresponding positions on the mattress 5, thereby making the pad 2 more securely fixed.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] In this embodiment, the two ends of the pad 2 are symmetrically fixedly connected with straps 4. The pad 2 is fixedly installed on the mattress 5 by the straps 4, achieving the effect of quick installation and removal. In actual use, the straps 4 can be fixedly connected by going around the mattress 5, or they can be fixedly tied to both sides of the delivery bed to achieve a fixing effect.

[0034] The specific usage method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0035] In use, first, the laying pad 2 is fixedly installed on the mattress 5. Then, the mother lies on the mattress 5. Under the guidance of the waterproof drainage strip 3, the blood flows through the laying pad 2 into the support chamber 10 and is absorbed by the absorbent block 11. As the weight of the support chamber 10 increases, it applies pressure to the pressure sensor 7. The pressure sensor 7 measures the weight and then transmits the specific value to the display screen via the digital converter 9.

[0036] In summary, this invention achieves real-time monitoring of postpartum bleeding by sensing the pressure applied by the load-bearing component through a measuring component, providing an immediate and intuitive reflection of the blood volume. Furthermore, the entire operation is simple and quick. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features.
