Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to medical equipment technical field more particularly, relate to a urodynamic examination bed. BACKGROUND

[0002] Urodynamics is a branch of urology, mainly based on the basic principles and methods of fluid mechanics and electrophysiology, detection of pressure, flow rate and bioelectric activity of each part of the urinary tract, so as to understand the function and mechanism of the urinary tract and the pathophysiology of urinary dysfunction, that is, through the study of the physiological process of urine storage and urination to understand its dysfunction.

[0003] The clinical examination steps are usually as follows:

[0004] 1. The patient adopts lithotomy position, the two legs are separated, and the external genitalia is fully exposed.

[0005] 2. After the examiner disinfects, covers the sterile surgical drape, inserts the urethral pressure catheter into the urethra of the patient, and then inserts a rectal pressure catheter into the anus of the patient, and the insertion depth is about 10 cm.

[0006] 3. After the urethral pressure catheter enters the bladder, the residual urine in the bladder is emptied, and the urine flow dynamics tester is connected. At the same time, the rectal pressure catheter is also connected with the urine flow dynamics tester.

[0007] 4. After turning on the tester, continuously infuse sterile normal saline into the bladder, and dynamically monitor the changes of the intravesical pressure and the intrarectal pressure during the storage period.

[0008] 5. When the patient reaches the maximum urinary bladder capacity and cannot hold urine any longer, the doctor and the nurse need to be informed, and the infusion of normal saline is stopped. The patient is instructed to urinate on the examination bed, and the changes of the intravesical pressure and the intrarectal pressure during the urination period are dynamically monitored.

[0009] In the prior art, the urodynamic examination bed adopts the shape of a seat, only having a waist and back area and a hip and leg area. During the urodynamic examination process, the patient needs to maintain a sitting posture for about 20 minutes. Many patients with limb paralysis, lower limb weakness and inconvenience in movement cannot maintain a sitting posture for a long time. Moreover, the seat shape has a great obstacle to the movement of the patient, and multiple workers are needed, so that the examiner is difficult to perform urodynamic examination, and it is inconvenient to evaluate the bladder function and urination disorder of the patient, which affects the treatment process of the patient and causes serious consequences such as complications.

[0010] In addition, during the urodynamic examination process, the two pressure measuring tubes are usually fixed on the legs of the patient. When the patient is agitated due to the urge to urinate, the pressure measuring tube will slide with the limbs, which will cause inaccurate pressure measurement, so that the examiner needs to repeatedly insert the tube, which affects the examination process and brings discomfort to the patient.

[0011] CN220237266U discloses a urodynamic examination bed, comprising: a bed body; the bed body is provided with a rotating rod at one end, the rotating rod is provided with a baffle at one end, the bed body is provided with a fixed safety belt at one end, the bed body is provided with a base frame at one end, the bed body is provided with a telescopic rod at one end, the telescopic rod is provided with a sliding rod at one end, the sliding rod is provided with a sliding shaft at one end, the sliding shaft is provided with a leg holder direction adjusting rod at one end, and the leg holder direction adjusting rod is provided with a leg holder at one end. The utility model discloses a rotating rod arranged at one end of the bed body, which makes the baffle rotate and blocks the line of sight of the patient; the fixed safety belt at one end of the bed body and the elastic fixing belt on the leg holder limit the patient's body, preventing the patient from reacting excessively when the doctor checks the patient's private parts; the telescopic rod, the sliding rod, the sliding shaft and the direction adjusting rod arranged at one end of the bed body are adjusted to cope with patients of different genders and different body types.

[0012] However, the urodynamic examination bed still has the above-mentioned defects, can only maintain a sitting position for examination, and cannot be applied to patients with limb paralysis, lower limb weakness and inconvenience in movement, and the pressure measuring tube is inconvenient to fix during examination.
