Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical restraint belt technology, specifically a restraint belt assembly suitable for graded management of body restraints for ICU patients. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern medical care, especially in intensive care units, restraint straps are widely used as an important auxiliary tool for patient restraint management to ensure patient safety and prevent medical risks caused by accidental activities.

[0003] However, existing restraint straps usually do not have the function of real-time monitoring of patient status. For example, a medical restraint strap with publication number CN216455553U has a middle section of the strap that can be laid flat on the patient's right lower limb. The strap extension and buckle on the same side can go down around the patient's lower limb and pass through the strap hole. Another buckle can go down around the patient's lower limb and pass through the gap between the strap extension and buckle on the same side into the strap hole and out of the strap hole. Another strap extension can go down directly around the patient's lower limb. Then, the two strap extensions and two buckles are tightened respectively, so that the tightened strap extensions and buckles are located on both sides of the patient's lower limb and are tied to the railings at the side or foot of the bed respectively.

[0004] While the above-mentioned approach can immobilize the patient's limbs, the lack of real-time monitoring or alarm functions makes it difficult for medical staff to promptly grasp changes in the patient's behavior, such as whether the patient is trying to break free of restraints, or whether they are agitated or restless. This may cause medical staff to miss the best intervention opportunity, increasing the risk of the patient harming themselves or others.

[0005] While existing technologies may already offer solutions to the aforementioned problems, this case aims to provide an alternative or replacement technical solution. Utility Model Content

[0017] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] Example: Those skilled in the art shall connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case with wires, and select appropriate controllers according to actual conditions to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence shall refer to the working principle described below, in which the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, without explaining the electrical control.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 To address the problem that while some medical restraints can immobilize a patient's limbs, they often lack real-time monitoring or alarm functions, making it difficult for medical staff to promptly detect changes in the patient's behavior, such as whether the patient is trying to break free, becoming agitated, or restless. This could lead to medical staff missing the optimal intervention opportunity and increasing the risk of the patient harming themselves or others. Therefore, this technical solution was designed, and the detailed technical solution is as follows. A restraint belt assembly suitable for graded management of physical restraints for ICU patients includes a fixing belt 1, the two ends of the fixing belt 1 are movably spliced ​​by a zipper 2, the fixing belt 1 has a ring structure, and a restraint structure is provided on the fixing belt 1; It should be noted that by wrapping the fixing strap 1 around the ICU bed railing and connecting the two ends of the fixing strap 1 with the zipper 2, the device can be connected to the ICU bed. Compared with the traditional strapping method, this improves the efficiency of fixing the device to the ICU bed. Specifically, the constraint structure includes two measuring restraint sections and a processing and display section; More specifically, two measuring restraint parts are arranged side by side on the outer wall of the fixing belt 1, and the processing display part is movably arranged on the fixing belt 1; each measuring restraint part includes a first connecting rope 3, one end of the first connecting rope 3 is fixed to the outer wall of the fixing belt 1, the other end of the first connecting rope 3 is fixed with a tension sensor 4, one end of the tension sensor 4 is fixed with a second connecting rope 5, and one end of the second connecting rope 5 is equipped with a collar assembly; It should be noted that when using this device, both measuring restraints are fitted onto the limbs of the ICU patient. That is, the ring assembly is fitted onto the limbs of the ICU patient. When medical staff need to wipe and clean the area where the ring assembly is located, or when they need to maintain one of the measuring restraints, they can remove one ring assembly while the other ring assembly remains installed on the patient's limb. This avoids the risk of patient movement or self-injury that may result from the release of restraints. The two ring assemblies work alternately, improving the flexibility of nursing operations and the continuity of patient restraint management. Specifically, the processing display unit includes a ring 6, which is movably mounted on a fixing belt 1. A control panel 7 is fixedly installed on the ring 6, and multiple LED lights 8 are provided on the control panel 7. It should be noted that each tension sensor 4 in the measuring restraint unit is connected to the control panel 7 via a transmission line. Since the transmission line is existing technology, it is not shown in the figure. The tension sensor 4 monitors the tension generated by the patient's limb movement in real time. When the limb of the ICU patient wearing the collar assembly moves, the tension sensor 4 transmits the monitored data to the control panel 7 through the connection of the first connecting rope 3 and the second connecting rope 5. The control panel 7 processes the data. The control panel 7 is set with a first threshold and a second threshold that is greater than the first threshold. Multiple LEDs 8 can be green, yellow, and red, representing different tension states. For example, a red LED 8 indicates that the tension is greater than the set second threshold, and medical staff need to check the patient immediately. A green LED 8 indicates that the tension is less than the first threshold. A yellow LED 8 indicates that the tension is between the first and second thresholds, and medical staff need to pay close attention. This achieves hierarchical management, which makes it easier for medical staff to grasp changes in the patient's behavior in a timely manner, avoid missing the best intervention time, and reduce the risk of the patient injuring themselves or others. The control panel 7 typically has a built-in microcontroller. By writing a program, it processes real-time tension data from the tension sensor 4 and controls the operation of multiple LED lights 8. The components in this device that require electricity are connected to the circuit of the ICU ward. Since the circuit connection is not the main protection content of this technical solution and is a known technology, it will not be described in detail here. At the same time, a wireless communication module can be integrated into the control panel 7. Using wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the control panel 7 can be connected to the monitoring center of the ICU ward to realize real-time transmission of tension data and instant push of alarm information. Specifically, the collar assembly includes an outer ring sleeve 9, which is fixed to one end of the second connecting rope 5. A mounting base 10 is provided on the upper wall of one end of the outer ring sleeve 9, and a screw 11 is provided on the upper wall of the mounting base 10. An adjustment hole 12 is provided at the other end of the outer ring sleeve 9. The outer ring sleeve 9 is movably fitted onto the screw 11 through the adjustment hole 12. An internal thread cap 13 is movably fitted onto the screw 11 through the thread. It should be noted that the outer ring 9 is fitted onto the patient's limb, the adjustment hole 12 is fitted onto the screw 11, and the outer ring 9 is connected to the patient's limb by installing the inner thread cap 13. Preferably, and further still, a fixed flexible pad 14 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the outer ring 9, and one end of the fixed flexible pad 14 is connected to a movable flexible pad 15. The movable flexible pad 15 is used to cover the mounting base 10 of the outer ring 9, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the fixed flexible pad 14 and the movable flexible pad 15 are used to increase the patient's wearing comfort; As a preferred and further option, the zipper 2 has a self-locking function to prevent the fixing strap 1 from falling off. The specific structure and working principle of the zipper 2 can be found in a zipper with a self-locking function published in CN107373918B. Since it is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here. Preferably, and further still, the number of adjustment holes 12 is at least two, to accommodate ICU patients of different sizes; As a preferred and further option, a clamp 16 is installed on the lower wall of the control panel 7. A bolt 17 is movably inserted into the clamp 16, and a nut 18 is threaded onto the bolt 17. When the device needs to be installed on the ICU bed, the processing display unit is removed, i.e., the ring 6 is detached from the fixing strap 1, and the clamp 16 is installed on the ICU bed railing. The bolt 17 and nut 18 are used to fix the clamp 16 to the ICU bed railing. When the device is not in use, the bolt 17 and nut 18 are operated to separate the clamp 16 from the ICU bed railing, and the ring 6 is then fitted onto the fixing strap 1. The two ends of the fixing strap 1 are then connected by a zipper 2 for easy storage of the device.

[0020] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
