Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of critical care nursing technology, specifically to a critical care patient positioning assist switching device. Background Technology
[0002] Positioning critically ill pediatric patients is a crucial aspect of nursing care. Proper positioning can help improve respiratory function, alleviate dyspnea, and prevent complications such as atelectasis. Common positions include:
[0003] 1. Supine position: Suitable for patients with milder conditions and stable breathing. It facilitates observation of facial color, oral and nasal secretions, and oxygen administration. This position helps reduce the risk of gastroesophageal reflux and vomit entering the airway.
[0004] 2. Side-lying position: Suitable for patients with difficulty breathing and excessive sputum. It helps to clear sputum and keep the airway open. This position helps to reduce pulmonary congestion and atelectasis and improve respiratory function.
[0005] 3. Prone position: Suitable for patients with severe illness and rapid breathing. It can reduce chest and abdominal pressure and increase lung ventilation. This position helps improve ventilation and oxygenation and relieve breathing difficulties.
[0006] 4. Semi-recumbent position: Suitable for patients with complications such as heart failure and pneumothorax, which can reduce the burden on the heart and improve breathing.
[0007] Currently, to reduce the workload of medical staff, position-assisting switching devices are mainly used to assist medical staff in changing the patient's position. For example, CN213373142U is a position-changing device for critically ill patients, and CN113975022A is a nursing turning device for pediatric intensive care units.
[0008] However, when using existing assistive devices to turn patients over, if the turning angle is too large, the patient may be turned over too quickly due to inertia, such as directly changing from a supine (prone) position to a prone (supine) position. This can cause a large impact between the patient's body and the bed, which may cause secondary injury to the patient. Utility Model Content

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-9 The device shown is a positional assist switching device for critically ill patients, including a base plate 1. A switching component 2 is provided on the top of the base plate 1. Switching components 3 and footrests 4 are provided on both sides of the switching component 2. When the base plate 1 is placed on the hospital bed and the patient lies on the device, the head and body are on the switching components 2 and 3, and the lower legs and feet are on the footrests 4.
[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the switching component 2 includes two flip plates 21 rotatably connected to the top of the base plate 1. Two fixing blocks 11 are provided on the side of each flip plate 21 that is close to each other. The flip plates 21 and the fixing blocks 11 on both sides are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. All four fixing blocks 11 are fixed to the top of the base plate 1. At least two electric push rods 22 are provided inside the base plate 1. The two ends of the electric push rods 22 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the base plate 1 and the flip plates 21, respectively. The two flip plates 21 are driven to flip by the electric push rods 22. The flipping of the two flip plates 21 is used to assist critically ill patients in turning over.
[0038] The switching assembly 3 includes two rotating plates 31 that are rotatably connected to two flip plates 21 respectively. A buckle is provided between the two rotating plates 31. A buckle is provided between the flip plate 21 and the rotating plate 31. The top of the rotating plate 31 on the side close to the flip plate 21 is hinged. At least two electric push rods 32 are fixedly provided inside the base plate 1 at the bottom position of the rotating plate 31. The piston rod of the electric push rod 32 is in contact with the bottom end of the rotating plate 31 but is not fixed. Both rotating plates 31 are driven to flip by the electric push rods 32. The flipping of the two rotating plates 31 is used to assist critically ill patients to switch to a semi-recumbent position.
[0039] Locking the buckle between the flipping plate 21 and the rotating plate 31, opening the buckle between the two rotating plates 31, and starting the electric push rod 22 to drive one of the flipping plates 21 to flip, which can drive the rotating plate 31 connected to it to flip, which can assist critically ill patients to turn over.
[0040] Open the latch between the flip plate 21 and the rotating plate 31, lock the latch between the two rotating plates 31, and start the electric push rod 32 to drive the two flip plates 21 to flip together, which can lift the patient's upper body and help critically ill patients switch to a semi-recumbent position.
[0041] To improve security, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, protective components 5 are provided in both the footrest 4 and the two flip plates 21. Receiving grooves 52 are provided on the side of the two flip plates 21 that is far apart from each other, and on the side of the footrest 4 that is far from the flip plates 21. Taking the protective component 5 on the flip plate 21 as an example, the protective component 5 includes a protective plate 51. Sliding grooves 54 are provided on both sides inside the receiving groove 52. A rotating rod 53 is provided inside the receiving groove 52, with both ends of the rotating rod 53 extending into the sliding grooves 54. The rotating rod 53 can slide and rotate within the sliding grooves 54. One end of the protective plate 51 is fixed to the rotating rod 53. Connecting blocks 55 are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the protective plate 51, and through holes 56 are provided on the connecting blocks 55. Multiple insertion holes 57 are provided on both sides inside the receiving groove 52 above the sliding grooves 54.
[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0043] 1. Driven by the electric push rod 22, one of the flip plates 21 is flipped. Medical staff flip the protective plate 51 on the other flip plate 21 out of the receiving groove 52 and into a vertical position. The connecting block 55 rotates with the receiving groove 52. Then, the protective plate 51 is moved, causing the rotating rod 53 to slide in the slide groove 54 to adjust the position of the protective plate 51. After adjustment, the through hole 56 on the connecting block 55 communicates with one of the insertion holes 57. Then, the pin 58 is inserted into the through hole 56 and the insertion hole 57 to fix the protective plate 51. Figures 6-7 As shown;
[0044] When the patient turns over, the protective panel 51 stands up to block the patient and can turn the patient 90°, changing the patient from supine (lateral) position to lateral (supine) position. The lateral position helps to reduce pulmonary congestion and atelectasis and improve respiratory function.
[0045] Alternatively, the vertical protective panel 51 can be moved to a slightly farther distance from the patient, and the patient can be rolled from a supine to a prone position onto the vertical protective panel 51 at an angle greater than 90°. Then, medical staff can support the patient, pull out the pin 58 on the protective panel 51 to flatten the panel 51, and then slowly lower the patient, changing the patient from a supine (prone) position to a prone (supine) position. The supine position helps reduce the risk of gastroesophageal reflux and vomit entering the airway, while the prone position helps improve ventilation and oxygenation and relieve breathing difficulties.
[0046] Second, by driving the two rotating plates 31 to flip via the electric push rod 32, the patient's upper body can be lifted, and the patient can lean against the tilted rotating plates 31 in a semi-recumbent position. This semi-recumbent position reduces the burden on the patient's heart and improves breathing. Then, the protective plate 51 on the footrest 4 can be flipped out and its position adjusted so that the patient's feet are against the protective plate 51 in a bent-knee position. Figure 8 As shown, bending the knees in a semi-reclining position helps reduce tension in the abdominal muscles.
[0047] In summary, this invention can prevent patients from rolling over too quickly due to inertia, causing a large impact between the patient's body and the bed, thereby preventing secondary injuries to the patient. At the same time, since the position of the protective plate 51 is adjustable, it is suitable for use on patients of different body types.
[0048] To improve patient comfort, such as Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, a mattress is provided on top of the switching assembly 1 2, the switching assembly 2 3, and the footrest 4. The mattress includes a folding mattress 6 located on top of the switching assembly 1 2 and the switching assembly 2 3, and a pad 1 7 located on top of the footrest 4. Pad 2 8 is fixed on the top of the two protective plates 51 on the flip plate 21, and the folding mattress 6 has a groove for accommodating the two pad 2 8. Pad 3 9 is fixed on the top of the protective plate 51 on the footrest 4, and a groove for accommodating pad 3 9 is provided on pad 1 7.
[0049] The folding mattress 6, pad 1 7, pad 2 8, and pad 3 9 can improve the patient's comfort when lying in bed and in contact with the protective plate 51. In addition, pad 2 8 and pad 3 9 on the protective plate 51 can also cushion the impact between the patient and the protective plate 51, further improving safety.
[0050] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
