TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to medical instrument technical field, concretely relates to infant postoperative restraint belt of general anesthesia. BACKGROUND
[0002] Infants may be unconscious or have a blurred consciousness after general anesthesia due to the effects of medication. At this time, they may make some unconscious actions such as moving around, scratching, etc. These actions may interfere with the healing of the surgical wound, and even lead to serious consequences such as wound dehiscence and bleeding. Therefore, using a restraint belt can effectively limit the physical activity of the child and avoid these potential risks.
[0003] The existing infant postoperative restraint belt after general anesthesia is mostly composed of several belt bodies and corresponding buckle mechanisms, which are used to bind and restrain the limbs or torso of the infant. During binding and restraint, the infant's limbs are generally allowed to move within a small range of space. At this time, a nurse or family member is needed to provide constant care to respond to any sudden situations of the infant and ensure their health. However, it is inevitable that there will be no one to watch over the infant, and at this time, if the infant's limbs continuously pull the restraint belt, the infant's skin may be damaged due to the prolonged pressure of the restraint belt. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an infant postoperative restraint belt after general anesthesia that can timely remind the caregiver when the infant's limbs continuously pull the restraint belt without supervision, thereby reducing the likelihood of secondary injury to the infant and improving safety. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides an infant postoperative restraint belt after general anesthesia that can timely remind the caregiver when the infant's limbs continuously pull the restraint belt without supervision, thereby reducing the likelihood of secondary injury to the infant and improving safety.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows: an infant postoperative restraint belt after general anesthesia, comprising a first belt body, a sound emitting assembly is fixedly connected to one end of the first belt body, a first fixing assembly for fixing the first belt body on the edge of a hospital bed is fixedly connected to the other end of the first belt body, a second belt body is fixedly connected to one end of the sound emitting assembly, a second fixing assembly for fixing the second belt body on the limbs of an infant is arranged on the second belt body.
[0006] The sound emitting assembly comprises a hollow elastic ball and a flute piece. One side of the hollow elastic ball is fixedly connected to the first belt body, the other side of the hollow elastic ball is fixedly connected to the second belt body, and the flute piece is arranged on the surface of the hollow elastic ball and communicates with the inside of the hollow elastic ball.
[0007] The technical principle of the above solution is as follows: One end of the first belt is fixed to the bed frame by the first fixing component. When the child moves his / her limbs and pulls the second belt, the hollow elastic ball between the second belt and the first belt is stretched and deformed, which in turn squeezes its internal space and expels the air inside through the whistle, so that the whistle makes a sound to alert the caregiver. When the pulling force on the hollow elastic ball weakens, it will return to its original shape to facilitate continuous monitoring of the child's movements.
[0008] The above approach has the following beneficial effects:
[0009] 1. In this solution, the sound-emitting component can immediately emit a sound when a child moves erratically after general anesthesia and restraint, alerting caregivers to pay attention and take timely action. This effectively reduces the potential risks caused by continuous pulling of the restraint straps by the limbs. Furthermore, utilizing the elasticity of the hollow elastic ball, it deforms accordingly based on the instantaneous pulling force when the child moves erratically after restraint. The greater the pulling force, the greater the deformation, resulting in a louder sound, thus promptly alerting caregivers. Simultaneously, the hollow elastic ball can recover its shape after being stretched, allowing for continuous monitoring of the child's movements and ensuring caregivers can keep track of the child's status at all times. By combining the restraint straps with the sound-emitting component, excessive movement by the child is limited while avoiding discomfort and injury that may result from excessive restraint, thus improving safety.
[0010] 2. In this solution, the design of the first and second fixing components allows the restraint straps to be easily fixed to the hospital bed and the child's limbs, making the operation simple and quick.
[0011] Furthermore, the first fixing component includes a first card holder and a plurality of first buckles that match the first card holder. The first card holder is disposed on one side of the first belt body, and the first buckles are all disposed on the same side of the first belt body. The first buckles and the first card holder are both located on the same side of the first belt body.
[0012] Beneficial effects: The matching and engaging of the first retainer and the first buckle securely fixes the first restraint strap to the edge of the hospital bed, preventing it from loosening or falling off when the child moves around. Depending on the size and shape of the hospital bed, the position and number of the first buckles can be adjusted to meet different fixation needs, ensuring the restraint strap fits snugly against the bed edge and improving the fixation effect. Since the first buckle and the first retainer are located on the same side, users do not need to find corresponding fixing points on both sides of the strap during installation; they only need to engage on the same side, greatly simplifying the installation process. The same-side buckle design allows users to quickly fix the first strap to the edge of the hospital bed without complex adjustments or alignment, improving fixation efficiency.
[0013] Furthermore, there are at least three first buckles, and all the first buckles are equally spaced along the length of the first belt.
[0014] Beneficial effects: The design with at least three first buckles allows the first strap to be more securely fixed to the edge of the bed, while providing multiple fixing positions to adapt to different beds and the actual conditions of young children. Furthermore, it facilitates a tight and easy-to-operate fit between the first buckle and the first seat, ensuring the safety and convenience of the restraint strap during use.
[0015] Furthermore, the second fixing component includes a second retainer and a plurality of second buckles that match the second retainer. The second retainer is disposed on one side of the first belt body, and the second buckles are all disposed on one side of the second belt body. The second retainer and the second buckles are both located on the same side of the second belt body.
[0016] Beneficial Effects: The matching design of the second buckle and the second seat ensures that the second restraint is securely fixed to the child's limbs, preventing the restraint from loosening or falling off due to the child's unconscious movement after anesthesia, thus improving the stability and safety of the fixation. The secure fixation method effectively prevents the child from colliding with the bed or other hard objects when moving, reducing the risk of accidental injury. The buckle design allows the second restraint to be quickly and easily fixed to the child's limbs, and also facilitates quick removal when needed, improving ease of use. Depending on the size and shape of the child's limbs, the position and number of the second buckles can be adjusted to adapt to different fixation needs, ensuring the restraint fits snugly against the child's limbs and improving the fixation effect. Users do not need to find corresponding fixing points on both sides of the second restraint; they only need to engage or disengage on the same side, greatly simplifying the installation and disassembly process. The buckle and buckle seat designed on the same side make installation and disassembly easier, especially when a rapid response to the child's situation is required; this convenience is particularly important.
[0017] Furthermore, there are at least three second buckles, all of which are equally spaced along the length of the second belt.
[0018] Beneficial effects: The design with at least three second buckles allows the second strap to be more flexibly secured to the child's limbs, while ensuring stability and comfort. Furthermore, the distance between the second buckle and the second seat is carefully designed to ensure a secure fit without being too tight or too loose, thus protecting the child's skin and limbs.
[0019] Furthermore, buffer layers are provided on both sides of the second belt.
[0020] Beneficial effects: The buffer layer effectively reduces the pressure of the second restraint on the child's limbs, minimizing unnecessary injury when the child struggles or moves. While the buffer layer increases softness, it also provides additional support and stability for the second restraint, making the restraint more secure in fixing the child's limbs and less likely for the child to easily break free, thus ensuring the child gets sufficient rest and recovery after surgery.
[0021] Furthermore, the surface of the second belt is provided with several through holes.
[0022] Beneficial effects: The perforated design makes the surface of the second strap more breathable, helping to reduce discomfort caused by close contact between the skin and the strap during prolonged wear in young children. Especially in hot weather or warm indoor environments, the perforations effectively dissipate heat from the strap surface, keeping the child's skin dry and reducing sweat buildup, thus preventing skin inflammation or infection. The perforations also make the strap softer and lighter when fitting against the child's skin, reducing pressure and tightness, improving wearing comfort, and helping the child remain relaxed and comfortable during postoperative recovery, which is beneficial for both physical recovery and psychological well-being.
[0023] Furthermore, a timer is provided on the first belt.
[0024] Beneficial effects: The timer can be set to specific time intervals. When the time is up, the timer will emit an audible or visual signal to alert caregivers to check on the child's condition. This helps ensure that caregivers can conduct rounds and checks at the predetermined intervals, thereby promptly identifying and addressing any abnormalities.
[0025] Furthermore, the distance between the first card holder and the first buckle is 15-30cm.
[0026] Beneficial effects: An appropriate distance ensures that the connection between the buckle and the buckle seat is both secure and not easily broken by a young child. Setting this distance range allows caregivers to flexibly adjust the position between the buckle and the buckle seat according to the child's body size and needs. This helps ensure that the restraint strap fits snugly against the child's limbs while avoiding being too tight or too loose.
[0027] Furthermore, the distance between the second card holder and the second buckle is 10-20cm.
[0028] Beneficial effects: This distance range accommodates children of different ages and body types, making the restraint belt more flexible and versatile. By adjusting the position between the second buckle and the second seat, caregivers can personalize the fastening according to the child's actual situation, improving the applicability of the restraint belt. The appropriate distance design makes it easier and faster for caregivers to fix and adjust the restraint belt, which helps reduce their workload and improve their work efficiency and quality.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0037] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0038] Example 1:
[0039] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown: a restraint belt for children after general anesthesia, including a first belt body 1, a sound-generating component fixedly connected to one end of the first belt body 1, a first fixing component for fixing the first belt body 1 to the edge of the bed fixedly connected to the other end of the first belt body 1, a second belt body 7 fixedly connected to one end of the sound-generating component, and a second fixing component for fixing the second belt body 7 to the limbs of the child.
[0040] The sound-producing component includes a hollow elastic ball 5 and a reed 6. One side of the hollow elastic ball 5 is bonded to the first belt 1, and the other side of the hollow elastic ball 5 is bonded to the second belt 7. The reed 6 is embedded in the surface of the hollow elastic ball 5 and communicates with the interior of the hollow elastic ball 5.
[0041] The first fixing component includes a first retainer 3 and several first buckles 2 that match the first retainer 3. The first retainer 3 is adhered to one side of the first belt body 1, and the first buckles 2 are all adhered to one side of the first belt body 1. Both the first buckles 2 and the first retainer 3 are located on the same side of the first belt body 1. There are at least three first buckles 2, and they are evenly spaced along the length of the first belt body 1. This simplifies the fixing process, eliminating the need for caregivers to cross both sides of the belt body when fixing it. Furthermore, the distance between the first retainer 3 and the first buckles 2 is 15-30cm, allowing caregivers to flexibly adjust the position of the first buckles 2 and the first retainer 3 according to the child's size and needs, and to adjust the position according to the bed structure, thus securing it firmly to the bed frame.
[0042] The second fixing component includes a second retainer 8 and several second buckles 10 that match the second retainer 8. The second retainer 8 is located on one side of the first strap 1, and the second buckles 10 are all located on one side of the second strap 7. Furthermore, the second retainer 8 and the second buckles 10 are both located on the same side of the second strap 7. There are at least three second buckles 10, and they are evenly spaced along the length of the second strap 7. This allows caregivers to operate more intuitively and conveniently when putting on and fixing the second strap 7 for the child, without having to frequently cross the strap or make complex adjustments, reducing safety hazards caused by improper operation. Moreover, the distance between the second retainer 8 and the second buckles 10 is 10-20cm, which makes it easier and faster for caregivers to fix and adjust the restraint strap.
[0043] The specific implementation process is as follows: First, based on the child's body shape and the structure of the hospital bed, estimate and adjust the distance between the first seat 3 and the first buckle 2, and between the second seat 8 and the second buckle 10. Then, wrap one end of the first strap 1 around the edge of the hospital bed so that the first seat 3 is located on one side of the hospital bed. Next, select a suitable first buckle 2 as needed and fasten it to the first seat 3 to fix the first strap 1 to the edge of the hospital bed. Check to ensure that the first strap 1 is firmly fixed and not easy to loosen. Wrap the second strap 7 around the child's limbs (such as wrists or ankles) so that the second seat 8 is located on one side of the strap. Select a suitable second buckle 10 according to the thickness of the child's limbs and fasten it to the second seat 8 to fix the second strap 7 to the child's limbs. Check to ensure that the second strap 7 is comfortably fixed and not easy to fall off, while avoiding excessive tightness that may cause discomfort.
[0044] Meanwhile, when unattended, if the child unconsciously moves their limbs due to general anesthesia, and if the range of motion is small (i.e., within the permissible range), the pulling force of their limbs on the second band 7 will not be sufficient to deform the hollow elastic ball, thus preventing the air inside from being squeezed out through the flute 6 and producing sound. However, when the child's limbs move more, they will tighten the second band 7 and the first band 1, which will then pull the hollow elastic ball 5 between them, causing it to deform (compress), thereby squeezing out the air inside and producing sound through the flute 6. This alerts the caregiver to return to monitor the child. Furthermore, due to the elasticity of the hollow elastic ball 5, it can return to its original position when not being pulled, facilitating continuous monitoring.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] The difference from Example 2 is that buffer layers are bonded to both sides of the second belt 7.
[0047] The specific implementation process is as follows: When using the second strap 7 to fix the child's limbs, in order to ensure the restraint of the child's limbs, it is necessary to appropriately increase the tightness of the second strap 7 on the child's limbs, which will increase the pressure of the second strap 7 on the child's limbs. Generally, the restraint time is relatively long, and long-term pressure will affect the blood circulation of the child's limbs. Therefore, a buffer layer is set on both sides of the second strap 7. The buffer layer can preferably be a sponge layer, which reduces the pressure of the second strap 7 on the child's limbs through its high softness and elasticity, thereby improving the overall safety.
[0048] Example 3:
[0049] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 2 is that the surface of the second belt 7 has several through holes 9.
[0050] The specific implementation process is as follows: Generally, the restraint time after general anesthesia for young children is relatively long. Therefore, the through holes 9 on the surface of the second belt 7 are used to enhance the ventilation and heat dissipation efficiency of the restraint area, keep the child's skin dry, reduce the accumulation of sweat, and thus prevent skin inflammation or infection.
[0051] Example 4:
[0052] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 3 is that a timer 4 is attached to the first tape 1, wherein the timer 4 is preferably a JQS-1111 Tufman timer 4.
[0053] The specific implementation process is as follows: Based on actual needs, select a timer 4 suitable for the medical environment. Timer 4 should have a precise time setting function and be able to emit clear sound or light signals for reminders. Simultaneously, timer 4 should be installed in a conspicuous position on the first belt unit 1, allowing caregivers to easily view and set the time. Furthermore, considering the need for a quiet environment after surgery for young children, timer 4 should ideally have adjustable volume or a silent mode selection function. Based on the child's recovery progress and care needs, set an appropriate time interval; for example, it can be set to remind once per hour, or set according to the doctor's specific instructions. Select a reminder method suitable for the hospital environment; if the environment requires quiet, a light signal reminder can be selected; if the environment permits, a sound reminder can be selected.
[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
