Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical supplies technology research, specifically relating to a two-piece intraoperative warming vest. Background Technology
[0002] Operating room temperatures are typically controlled between 20°C and 26°C. The relatively low temperature inhibits bacterial growth, effectively preventing the proliferation of bacteria in the air caused by excessive heat, which could increase the risk of infection at the patient's incision site. The moderate temperature and humidity in the operating room minimize excessive sweating for both doctors and patients, ensuring patient safety during surgery. It also helps doctors remain calm and focused, enabling them to complete the surgery more efficiently and effectively. However, because both patients and surgeons must be cared for simultaneously, the operating room temperature cannot be set too high. Furthermore, due to anesthesia, peripheral vasodilation often causes a drop in patient body temperature, which is detrimental to postoperative recovery and healing. Therefore, keeping surgical patients warm is essential.
[0003] Patent publication number CN221690170U discloses a surgical patient thermal garment, comprising: a rear thermal pad, including a rear body thermal pad and two symmetrically sewn-on rear arm thermal pads to the left and right sides of the rear body thermal pad; a right front thermal pad, fixed to the right front side of the rear thermal pad, including a right front body thermal pad and a right forearm thermal pad sewn onto the right front body thermal pad; and a left front thermal pad, fixed to the left front side of the rear thermal pad, including a left front body thermal pad and a left forearm thermal pad sewn onto the left front body thermal pad. In use, the rear thermal pad is first laid flat on the operating table and unfolded. Two arm warmers are placed on the back of the arm. The patient then lies on the arm warmers, and the positions of the arm warmers and the patient's arm are adjusted so that they overlap. Next, the right forearm warmer is attached to the right side of the arm warmer on the back of the body. The arm warmer and the right forearm warmer together form the right sleeve of the thermal garment, used to keep the patient's right arm warm. Similar to the right forearm warmer, the left forearm warmer is used to keep the patient's left arm warm. Finally, the hook-and-loop fasteners on the left and right forearms are glued together to further reinforce the connection between the two warmers.
[0004] However, during surgery, the aforementioned technical solutions require the removal of either the right or left anterior warming pad to allow for the operation. This exposes most of the patient's skin, significantly reducing the warmth provided by the warming garment. Furthermore, existing operating tables are relatively narrow to facilitate surgical procedures. While patients may lose consciousness and sensation after deep anesthesia, they may not immediately fall into a coma and could engage in unconscious activities, posing a risk of falling off the operating table. The aforementioned technical solutions only provide warmth and do not address this issue. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of poor warmth retention and limited functionality in existing thermal clothing.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical approach adopted by this utility model is as follows: a two-piece intraoperative warming vest is provided. The front warming piece of the vest has an operating opening to facilitate surgical procedures, and the rear warming piece has a protective strap to prevent the patient from falling off the bed. In use, the rear warming piece is simply laid flat on the operating table, the protective strap is wrapped around the bottom of the bed and secured, and the patient lies flat on the rear warming piece. Finally, the front and rear warming pieces are fixedly connected, providing warmth to the patient during surgery. Furthermore, the doctor can open the shielding piece above the corresponding surgical site and use the shielding pieces above other sites to cover the patient's body, thus maintaining warmth.
[0007] Based on the above technical concept, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A two-piece intraoperative thermal vest includes:
[0009] The rear insulation panel has protective strips symmetrically installed on both sides;
[0010] The front heat insulation panel is detachably connected to the rear heat insulation panel, and the front heat insulation panel has an operating port.
[0011] Three shields are located above the operating port, with one end of each shield fixedly connected to the front insulation panel and the other end detachably connected to the front insulation panel.
[0012] Further specifying the above technical solution, preferably, the shoulder of the front warming pad is also provided with a deep vein catheter passage.
[0013] To further define the above technical solution, the shoulder of the front warming pad is provided with an anti-slip band for securing the deep vein catheter.
[0014] To further define the above technical solution, the front insulation sheet is also provided with a second hook and loop fastener male surface for fixing the cover sheet, and the cover sheet is provided with a second hook and loop fastener female surface connected to the second hook and loop fastener male surface.
[0015] To further define the above technical solution, the rear heat preservation piece is provided with a first Velcro male surface on both sides for connecting with the front heat preservation piece;
[0016] The front heat preservation panel has a first hook and loop female surface on each side for connecting with the first hook and loop male surface.
[0017] Beneficial effects

[0032] The two-piece intraoperative warming vest provided in this embodiment is suitable for patients who need to undergo surgery, especially for patients who need intraoperative deep vein catheterization.
[0033] Example 1: Two-piece intraoperative thermal vest
[0034] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a two-piece intraoperative thermal vest, including a back thermal pad 1, a protective belt 2, a front thermal pad 3, and three shielding pads 4.
[0035] In practical applications, such as Figure 1 As shown, a protective strip 2 is symmetrically provided on both sides of the rear heat insulation sheet 1, and the protective strip 2 is fixedly connected to the rear heat insulation sheet 1.
[0036] Specifically, the protective belt 2 has a trapezoidal structure, with the wider side of the protective belt 2 connected to the side of the rear warming pad 1. In this way, after the medical staff lays the rear warming pad 1 flat on the operating table, during the process of the free ends of the protective belt 2 at both ends of the rear warming pad 1 wrapping around under the operating table and binding it, the rear warming pad 1 is laid flat under the tension of the protective belt 2 so that it can be connected to the front warming pad 3.
[0037] Among them, the rear heat preservation piece 1 has a first Velcro male surface 5 on both sides.
[0038] The front heat preservation piece 3 has a first hook and loop fastener female surface 6 on each side for connecting with the first hook and loop fastener male surface 5. In use, the connection between the front heat preservation piece 3 and the rear heat preservation piece 1 can be completed through the first hook and loop fastener male surface 5 and the first hook and loop fastener female surface 6.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the front warming pad 3 is provided with an operation port 31, a deep vein catheter passage port 32, and an anti-slip strip 33;
[0040] The operating port 31 is located on the surface of the front warming plate 3 so that the doctor can perform the operation;
[0041] Multiple shielding panels 4 are provided above the operating port 31. These panels cover the patient's chest, upper abdomen, and lower abdomen to keep the patient's upper limbs warm. During the operation, the doctor can open the corresponding shielding panel 4 according to the surgical site, allowing the other panels 4 to cover the patient's skin and prevent excessive skin exposure, thus ensuring the warmth retention effect of the two-piece intraoperative thermal vest provided in this embodiment. It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the number of shielding panels 4. For example, this embodiment uses three shielding panels 4, which respectively cover the patient's chest, upper abdomen, and lower abdomen.
[0042] Specifically, one end of the shielding piece 4 is fixedly connected to the front heat preservation piece 3, and the other end is movably connected to the front heat preservation piece. It should be noted that this embodiment of the utility model does not limit the movable connection method between the shielding piece 4 and the front heat preservation piece 3. For example, the shielding piece 4 is movably connected to the front heat preservation piece 3 by a zipper or button.
[0043] To prevent the opened cover 4 from interfering with the doctor's operation, a second hook-and-loop fastener male side 7 is provided on the surface of the front warming piece 3, and correspondingly, a second hook-and-loop fastener female side 8 is provided on the side of the cover 4 away from the patient. In this way, after the doctor opens the cover 4, it can be fixed by connecting the second hook-and-loop fastener male side 7 and the second hook-and-loop fastener female side 8, preventing the cover 4 from shaking and affecting the doctor's operation.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, a deep vein catheter (DVC) port 32 is located at the shoulder position of the front warming pad 3. The DVC port 32 has a square opening, and an anti-slip band 33 is located on the side of the DVC port 32. This allows the DVC to be secured after the doctor inserts it into the patient, preventing accidental dislodgement by medical staff. One end of the anti-slip band 33 is sutured to the front warming pad 3, while the other end is detachably connected to a fixing buckle 34 on the front warming pad 3.
[0045] It should be noted that the rear insulating sheet 1, protective strip 2, front insulating sheet 3, first Velcro face 5, second connecting piece 6 and three shielding pieces 4 provided in this utility model embodiment are all made of cotton cloth, and the interior of the rear insulating sheet 1, front insulating sheet 3 and shielding pieces 4 are all filled with heat-insulating material, for example, heat-insulating cotton or down, etc.
[0046] Application examples:
[0047] Step 1: Lay the back warming pad 1 flat on the hospital bed, and then tie the free ends of the two protective straps 2 connected to the back warming pad 1 under the operating table;
[0048] Step Two: Have the patient lie flat on the operating table;
[0049] Step 3: Place the front warming pad 3 on the patient and connect the first Velcro female surface 6 on both sides of the front warming pad 3 to the first Velcro male surface 5 on both sides of the rear warming pad 1.
[0050] Step 4: After opening the cover plate 4 above the surgical site, fix the cover plate 4 to the second hook and loop fastener male side 7 of the front heat preservation plate 3 through the second hook and loop fastener female side 8 so that the doctor can perform the surgery.
[0051] Step 5: During the procedure, the deep vein catheter is inserted through the opening 32 to perform the deep vein catheterization.
[0052] Step 6: After opening the movable end of the anti-slip band 33, place the deep vein catheter into the receiving cavity formed by the anti-slip band 33 and the front warming pad 3, and then connect the movable end of the anti-slip band 33 to the fixing buckle 34 to prevent the deep vein catheter from shaking.
[0053] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
