Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a nurse call device for high-level paraplegic tracheostomy patients. Background Technology

[0002] High-level paraplegia refers to paraplegia caused by a transverse spinal cord lesion occurring above the second thoracic vertebra. Patients with high-level paraplegia are prone to lung infections due to respiratory muscle weakness and a weakened or absent cough reflex, generally requiring early tracheotomy. These patients are unable to move their bodies or speak, but remain conscious and often experience a range of psychological changes, including denial, frustration, anxiety, anger, and depression. Coupled with the inability to effectively communicate with family members and the inability to call for help from nurses, these negative emotions can be amplified and may even trigger a breakdown.

[0003] Current nurse call systems can only be activated by pressing a button, typically placed to the side of the patient's head. The patient needs to twist their head to activate it. If the patient accidentally pushes the button out of their head's range of motion, they can no longer press it. If no one notices the patient, they can only try to attract the attention of nurses and family members by making soft, whistling sounds, but these sounds are often weak and easily overlooked. To ensure that the needs of high-level paraplegic tracheostomy patients are addressed promptly and effectively by nurses, preventing them from being neglected due to their immobility and inability to speak, and reducing the negative emotional impact on them, we have proposed this nurse call system specifically designed for high-level paraplegic tracheostomy patients. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a nurse call device for high-level paraplegic tracheostomy patients. The nurse call device does not require pressing to start, and does not have the disadvantage of patients being unable to press the button. It can reduce the cost of caregivers and provide an immediate, effective and portable means of calling for help when the patient's caregiver is not around, reducing the negative emotions caused by the patient being ignored. In addition, the headgear is detachable and replaceable, and the patient can change to different headgear according to different weather conditions.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:

[0024] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses a nurse call device for a high-level paraplegic tracheostomy patient, including a shaking signal transmitting device 3, a shaking signal receiving alarm device 4, Velcro (not shown in the figure), and a cap 1; the shaking signal transmitting device 3 includes a shaking sensor 5 and a Bluetooth signal transmitter 6, the shaking sensor 5 and the Bluetooth signal transmitter 6 are connected; the shaking signal transmitting device 3 is detachably mounted on the cap 1 via the Velcro; the shaking signal receiving alarm device 4 includes a buzzer 7, a Bluetooth signal receiver 8, a mute button 9, and a rechargeable battery 10, the Bluetooth signal receiver 8 is wirelessly connected to the Bluetooth signal transmitter 6; the buzzer 7 is connected to the Bluetooth signal receiver 8, the mute button 9 is connected to the buzzer 7, and the rechargeable battery 10 is connected to the buzzer 7, the Bluetooth signal receiver 8, and the mute button 9. When a patient calls out and shakes their head violently, it triggers a signal from the shaking sensor 5. The Bluetooth signal transmitter 6 sends the signal to the Bluetooth signal receiver 8, which processes the signal and transmits it to the buzzer 7, converting it into sound energy to attract the nurse's attention. Once the nurse notices the alarm, they can press the mute button 9 to deactivate it and then come to the bedside to patiently inquire about the patient's needs.

[0025] The shaking signal transmitting device 3 also includes a shaking sensitivity adjustment knob 11 (this knob is existing technology and has the same structure as the volume adjustment knob), and the shaking sensor 5 is connected to the shaking sensitivity adjustment knob 11. Rotating the shaking sensitivity adjustment knob 11 clockwise increases the sensitivity, and rotating it counterclockwise decreases the sensitivity. The optimal sensitivity can be adjusted according to different patients to improve the success rate of calls and reduce the false call rate.

[0026] The shaking signal receiving alarm device 4 also includes a power indicator light 12 and a Type-C interface 13. The power indicator light 12 can switch between red and green. When the power indicator light 12 is green, it means that the power is sufficient; when the power indicator light 12 is red, it means that the power is insufficient and needs to be charged, which can be done through the Type-C interface 13.

[0027] In this embodiment, the shaking signal transmitting device 3 is fixed to the cap 1 with Velcro. The sensor sensitivity is adjusted by shaking the head to find the optimal sensitivity for triggering the alarm. After the shaking signal receiving alarm device 4 is successfully paired with the shaking signal transmitting device 3 via Bluetooth, it can be placed on the bedside table or nurse station, labeled with the bed number for patient identification. When the patient needs to call the nurse, they can trigger the shaking sensor 5 signal by shaking their head vigorously. The Bluetooth signal transmitter 6 sends the signal to the Bluetooth signal receiver 8, which processes the signal and transmits it to the buzzer 7, which then sounds an alarm. The nurse can then receive the signal from the patient, identify the bed number, press the mute button 9, and come to the bedside to handle the situation. If the battery indicator light 12 is red, it can be charged in time to prevent the patient from failing to call due to insufficient battery. This nurse call device is inexpensive, easy to manufacture, and can reduce the cost of accompanying care. It provides an immediate, effective, and portable means of calling when the patient's caregiver is not present, reducing the negative emotions caused by the patient feeling neglected. This device is suitable for patients who are unable to move or speak, such as those with high-level paraplegia requiring tracheotomy, and is easy to promote. A future app could be developed to link the device to the patient's family members' phones, allowing them to be notified when the patient needs assistance, even if the family members are not physically present, and to arrive immediately.
