Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of restraint belts and nursing equipment, and in particular to a restraint belt for patients undergoing lumbar puncture. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are several approaches to restraining patients undergoing lumbar puncture. Traditional restraint devices fall into two categories: partial restraints and integrated full-body restraints. Partial restraints fix the patient's shoulders, waist, or legs, with a simple structure relying on buckles made of materials like nylon. These restraints only restrict a portion of the body and cannot effectively limit movement in other areas. During lumbar puncture, the patient's twisting motion can still cause movement at the puncture site, affecting accuracy and success. Furthermore, this partial restraint method lacks overall stability and cannot ensure the patient maintains the correct position throughout the procedure. The other type is a one-piece full-body restraint, which wraps around the neck and pulls downwards, and around the legs and pulls upwards. Adjustments to length and tension are made to restrict movement. This design places significant pressure on the cervical spine, and prolonged or improper traction can easily damage it, especially for patients with pre-existing cervical spine issues. It can also affect breathing, causing discomfort, increasing fear, reducing compliance, and further impacting the puncture outcome. Other methods of immobilization include using beds, fixation devices, and auxiliary pillows. These devices are typically equipped with adjustable clamps and straps, using mechanical mechanisms to secure the patient's body. Some instruments also have pressure sensors to monitor movement. While these devices can make the position more standard and secure, their drawbacks include their complex structure and the need for specialized skills and time to operate them. Furthermore, the purchase and maintenance costs of immobilization beds are high, which may be unaffordable for some primary healthcare institutions, limiting their applicability. Some devices also lack flexibility, with relatively fixed dimensions and fixation methods, making it difficult to personalize them to suit individual patient needs.

[0003] In summary, while the existing lumbar puncture fixation devices can stabilize patients to some extent, they all have their limitations and cannot adequately meet the clinical needs for safety, comfort, and efficiency in lumbar puncture fixation. There is an urgent need for a more advanced lumbar puncture fixation device to address these issues.

[0004] Therefore, the person skilled in the art has provided a restraint belt for patients undergoing lumbar puncture. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific embodiments described below are only used to further illustrate this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to this application based on the above application content.

[0024] See appendix Figure 1-3The connection and installation of the restraint straps involve symmetrically sewing two elastic bands 5 onto the chest strap 1, fixing the male buckle 6 and female buckle 7 to both ends of the chest strap 1, sewing two chest strap connecting straps 12 onto the upper part of the chest strap 1, connecting the back strap 2 to the chest strap connecting strap 12 via a D-shaped buckle 4, sewing the upper Y-shaped strap 3 onto the top of the back strap 2, and fixing the female buckle 7 to the end of the upper Y-shaped strap 3. Completing the above process will assemble a restraint strap for the upper body.

[0025] The leg strap 10 is sewn to the lower part of the lower Y-shaped strap 9. The Velcro 11 is fixed to both ends of the leg strap 10. The D-ring 4 and the swivel 6 are fixed to both ends of the connecting strap 8 respectively. The lower Y-shaped strap 9 is connected to the connecting strap 8 through the D-ring 4. After completing the above process, a restraint strap for the thigh is assembled.

[0026] The assembled upper body restraints and thigh restraints are sealed, sterilized, and ready for use. Example 1

[0027] Taking cesarean section patients undergoing spinal anesthesia as an example

[0028] The specific operating steps are as follows:

[0029] 1. Pre-anesthesia preparation: Prepare restraints, spinal puncture kit, and local anesthetic for later use;

[0030] 2. Put on the half-body restraint belt: Assist the mother to sit on the operating table, put the patient's head through the upper Y-shaped restraint belt 3, put the chest restraint belt 1 through the back, and then fasten the male buckle 6 and female buckle 7. Adjust the chest belt connecting strap 12 on the male buckle 4 so that the back strap 2 fits the patient's body comfortably, avoiding being too tight or too loose. While ensuring the fixation effect, try to reduce the discomfort of the mother.

[0031] 3. Assist with positioning: Help the mother to lie on her side in a suitable position for spinal anesthesia.

[0032] 4. Fix the leg restraint belt: Bring the mother's two thighs together and bend them towards the abdomen. Wrap the leg restraint belt 10 around the outside of the mother's thigh root and fix it with Velcro 11. It is necessary to ensure that the leg restraint belt 10 can effectively fix the legs, but also to avoid excessive pressure on the legs and affecting blood circulation.

[0033] 5. Adjust the connecting belt: Fasten the female buckle 7 at the end of the upper Y-shaped strap 3 and the female buckle 6 at the end of the connecting belt 8. Adjust the length of the lower Y-shaped strap 9 by using the H-shaped buckle 4 at the end of the connecting belt 8 to maintain a certain tension, thereby stabilizing the mother's position for spinal anesthesia. Finally, administer spinal anesthesia.

[0034] For mothers undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia, and for obese patients with large abdominal circumferences, positioning is difficult due to their larger abdominal circumference. Furthermore, the thickened back fat in these patients makes puncture point location challenging, affecting the success rate of the procedure. This restraint belt provides stable positional support for these special patients, ensuring the smooth execution of the spinal anesthesia, reducing the risks associated with changes in position during the puncture, and protecting the safety of both the mother and fetus.
