Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to an electrocardiogram monitoring garment that prevents lead wires from falling off. Background Technology
[0002] In hospitals and nursing facilities, electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is an important means of monitoring patients' cardiac health. By continuously recording the heart's electrical activity, it helps doctors to detect important information about potential problems such as arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia in a timely manner, and plays an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute heart disease.
[0003] However, in actual clinical practice, the application of electrocardiogram monitoring faces many challenges, specifically in the following aspects:
[0004] 1. Traditional lead wire attachment methods usually require unbuttoning the patient's clothing and exposing the skin to attach the lead wires. This method not only lacks privacy protection, but may also make the patient feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. In addition, standard ECG monitoring usually requires 3 or 5 lead wires to be attached to the skin. These lead wires have a certain weight and are easy to fall off due to traction when turning over at night, affecting the accuracy and integrity of ECG data.
[0005] 2. Some patients may remove the leads from the ECG monitor themselves due to discomfort, anxiety, or misoperation. However, due to a lack of professional knowledge and skills, patients are unable to correctly reinstall the leads, resulting in interruption of monitoring data and delaying the timely detection of the condition. In a busy nursing environment, nurses often cannot help each patient reinstall the leads in a timely manner, especially when multiple patients require care at the same time. This situation is even more prominent, which not only increases the workload of nurses but may also affect the treatment effect of patients.
[0006] 3. Newly hired nurses may misplace the leads due to unfamiliarity with their colors and positions, leading to incorrect monitoring data and increased medical risks. This not only affects the accuracy of ECG monitoring but may also have adverse effects on the patient's health.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an ECG monitoring gown that prevents lead wire dislodgement. This gown not only has a design to prevent lead wire dislodgement, but also helps patients or nurses to quickly install the lead wires, ensuring their correct position, while protecting the patient's privacy. Utility Model Content
[0008] In order to overcome the problems of easy detachment of lead wires, insufficient protection of patient privacy, and incorrect placement in existing electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, this utility model provides an ECG monitoring garment that prevents lead wire detachment.
[0009] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: an ECG monitoring garment designed to prevent lead wire detachment, comprising a monitoring garment with pockets on both sides of the hem. Cross-shaped lead wire inlets are located below the left and right shoulders, on the left and right lower abdomen, and slightly to the left of the center of the chest. A connecting strap is located below each cross-shaped lead wire inlet, and each connecting strap has a circular indicator plate of a different color to mark the location of different cross-shaped lead wire inlets. Each pocket is equipped with a lead wire retainer on its outer side, and a drawstring is threaded through the pocket.
[0010] Furthermore, the monitoring gown is made of an antibacterial, breathable, and skin-friendly fabric.
[0011] Furthermore, a U-shaped positioning block is provided in each cross-shaped inlet, one end of which is rotatably equipped with a rubber clamp, and the other end of which is equipped with a buckle.
[0012] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is provided on the upper outer side of the pocket, and a take-up reel is rotatably mounted on the connecting shaft.
[0013] Furthermore, each cross-shaped entry point is sewn with Velcro.
[0014] Furthermore, the cuffs of the monitoring gown are fitted with drawstrings.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. The cross-shaped inlet design on the monitoring gown allows the installation of the lead wires without fully exposing the body, effectively protecting privacy. Furthermore, the design of the wire clamping plate and the binding rope fixing mechanism provides material constraint for the lead wires, ensuring that the lead wires will not be excessively pulled when the patient moves, reducing the possibility of them falling off. In addition, the addition of circular indicator plates of different colors makes it easy to quickly identify the correct attachment position of each lead wire, reducing the risk of incorrect installation and lowering the medical risks caused by improper operation.
[0016] 2. The combination design of U-shaped positioning block, rubber clamp and buckle is used to fix the lead wire, prevent the patient from turning over or moving the body, and prevent the lead wire from swinging at will, thereby reducing the risk of electrode pads falling off due to shaking and further improving the anti-hair loss effect.
[0017] 3. The take-up device, consisting of a connecting shaft and a take-up reel, enables quick organization and management of lead wires, avoiding tangling and confusion, and reducing the time nurses spend adjusting lead wires. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6An ECG monitoring garment designed to prevent lead wire dislodgement includes a monitoring garment 1. The monitoring garment 1 is made of antibacterial, breathable, and skin-friendly fabric, ensuring antibacterial properties, moisture absorption, and perspiration wicking to enhance wearing comfort. The monitoring garment 1 has pockets 2 on both sides of the hem. Drawstrings 14 are threaded through the cuffs of the monitoring garment 1, allowing nurses or patients to adjust the tightness of the cuffs by tightening the drawstrings 14 to improve the fit and accommodate patients of different body types. The monitoring garment 1 has 8cm long cross-shaped entry openings 3 located below the left and right shoulders, on the left and right lower abdomen, and slightly to the left of the center of the chest, facilitating lead wire insertion and attachment to the skin. Velcro 13 is sewn onto each cross-shaped entry opening 3 to close the opening, improving the aesthetics of the monitoring garment 1 and securing the lead wires to maintain their stability. A connecting strap 4 is installed 10cm below the inlet 3. Each connecting strap 4 is equipped with a circular indicator 5. Each circular indicator 5 is a different color to mark the different positions of the cross-shaped inlet 3. Specifically, the black circular indicator 5 corresponds to the cross-shaped inlet 3 below the left shoulder; the white circular indicator 5 corresponds to the cross-shaped inlet 3 below the right shoulder; the red circular indicator 5 corresponds to the cross-shaped inlet 3 slightly to the left of the lower left abdomen; the green circular indicator 5 corresponds to the cross-shaped inlet 3 slightly to the right of the lower right abdomen; and the brown circular indicator 5 corresponds to the cross-shaped inlet 3 slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Each pocket 2 is equipped with a wire retainer 9 on the outside to hold the connector at the junction of the lead wires. A binding rope 10 is threaded through the pocket 2. Tightening the binding rope 10 further secures the connector and ensures its stability and safety.
[0027] When ECG monitoring is required, the patient first changes into monitoring gown 1. The nurse locates the corresponding cross-shaped inlet 3 based on the color of the circular indicator board 5, inserts the electrode pads of the lead wire through the cross-shaped inlet 3, and accurately attaches them to the patient's skin. This process can be completed without fully exposing the patient's body, protecting the patient's privacy. After the lead wires are attached, the nurse should secure the connector at the lead wire junction to the wire retainer 9 on the outside of the pocket 2. Subsequently, the nurse can use the binding rope 10 to further secure the connector, thereby fixing the connector to the monitoring gown 1 for physical restraint, ensuring that the lead wires will not be excessively pulled during patient movement, reducing the risk of the electrode pads falling off the skin. If the patient removes the lead wires themselves later, the nurse or patient can quickly locate the corresponding cross-shaped inlet 3 based on the color of the circular indicator board 5 and correctly reattach the lead wires, avoiding the risk of incorrect installation. The entire process is simple and intuitive, helping to improve the efficiency and accuracy of ECG monitoring, while reducing the workload of nurses and the discomfort of patients.
[0028] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4Each cross-shaped inlet 3 is provided with a U-shaped positioning block 6. A rubber clamp 7 is rotatably provided on the right end of the U-shaped positioning block 6, and a buckle 8 for locking the rubber clamp 7 is provided on the left end of the U-shaped positioning block 6.
[0029] After the lead wire passes through the cross-shaped inlet 3, it is placed inside the U-shaped positioning block 6. Then, the rubber clamp 7 is rotated to clamp the lead wire, and the rubber clamp 7 is fixed by the buckle 8 to ensure that the lead wire is firmly fixed, thereby effectively reducing the shaking of the lead wire. Even if the patient turns over or moves his body, the lead wire will not swing at will, thereby reducing the risk of the electrode pad falling off due to shaking and further improving the anti-hair loss effect.
[0030] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 A connecting shaft 11 is provided on the upper outer side of the pocket 2. A take-up wheel 12 is rotatably mounted on the connecting shaft 11. The take-up wheel 12 can rotate freely to wind and release the guide wire, realizing the function of wire management and preventing the guide wire from getting tangled or messy.
[0031] Before fixing the connector at the junction of the lead wires, wrap the excess lead wires around the take-up reel 12 to prevent them from getting tangled or messy, making the lead wires neater. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the lead wires, simply rotate the take-up reel 12 to release the appropriate amount of lead wires.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
