Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical obstetric and gynecological equipment technology, and more specifically, to a postpartum hemorrhage metering device that can generate heat. Background Technology

[0002] Postpartum hemorrhage is defined as vaginal bleeding ≥500ml within 24 hours postpartum. It is a serious complication of childbirth and the leading cause of maternal mortality in my country. The most common cause of postpartum hemorrhage is uterine atony (accounting for 70%), while other factors include placental factors, soft tissue lacerations of the birth canal, and coagulation disorders. Once postpartum hemorrhage occurs, it should be taken very seriously. Close monitoring of the mother's condition and prompt, effective treatment measures should be taken to safeguard the safety of both mother and baby.

[0003] Currently, commonly used methods for measuring postpartum hemorrhage include: area method, volume method, weighing method, shock index, etc. The methods used sometimes require calculation or judgment based on experience. During the postpartum hemorrhage process, the amount of bleeding cannot be directly, quickly, and accurately determined. The volume method may result in inaccurate measurement when using a hemostatic agent. Once postpartum hemorrhage occurs, the patient's condition needs to be closely monitored. Among these measures, warming measures are often overlooked. Effective warming measures can promote vasodilation, improve blood circulation, and enhance treatment effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a postpartum hemorrhage measuring device that can be heated. This device is used during vaginal delivery. On the one hand, it can keep the mother's abdominal area warm, and on the other hand, it can facilitate doctors and nurses to collect postpartum bleeding in a timely manner. The amount of bleeding can be directly measured through a collection bottle with graduations, and the risk of vaginal delivery can be accurately assessed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A postpartum hemorrhage measuring device with heating capability includes a perforated drape. Both upper sides of the drape are connected upwards to heating blankets via buckles, and both lower sides of the drape are connected backwards to a base pad via buckles. The base pad is laid on a delivery bed. The heating blankets are filled with surrounding heating wires, and a control panel is fixed to the outer side of the heating blankets. The control panel is connected to an external power source via wiring. Liquid funnels are also connected downwards to the buckles on both lower sides of the drape.

[0007] As a further optimization of this solution, the lower end of the liquid funnel is connected to a three-way valve, and the outlet ports on both sides of the three-way valve are connected to L-shaped pipes. The L-shaped pipes extend downward into the amniotic fluid testing bottle and the blood volume testing bottle, respectively. The amniotic fluid testing bottle and the blood volume testing bottle are both transparent measuring bottles with graduation lines machined on their outer surfaces. The blood volume testing bottle has a liquid level sensor and a buzzer installed on the side of the bottle body.

[0008] As a further optimization of this solution, the three-way valve is fitted with collars on both sides, and the rear end of the collars is connected downward to the base plate via an L-shaped telescopic connecting rod. A threaded guide rod is provided at the middle position of the front end of the upper surface of the base plate, and a lifting plate is installed on the threaded guide rod by means of a nut.

[0009] As a further optimization of this solution, both sides of the upper surface of the lifting plate are provided with arc-shaped slots, and amniotic fluid testing bottles and blood volume testing bottles are embedded in the slots.

[0010] As a further optimization of this solution, the three-way valve is provided with a reversing handle on its outer side.

[0011] As a further optimization of this solution, the liquid funnel and the three-way valve are both height-adjustable by extending or lowering the telescopic section of the L-shaped telescopic connecting rod, so that the upper end of the liquid funnel is flush with the edge of the delivery bed.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] In this invention, by connecting a heating blanket and a base pad structure at the upper and lower ends of the drape, combined with a control panel, doctors and nurses can easily place the heating blanket on the mother's abdomen before delivery, while placing the base pad under the mother's buttocks to help keep the mother warm during childbirth, improve blood circulation, and prevent the mother from catching a cold.

[0014] This invention incorporates a liquid funnel, a three-way valve, an L-shaped pipeline, an amniotic fluid testing bottle, and a blood volume testing bottle. Doctors and nurses can activate a reversing handle to open one side of the L-shaped pipeline when the amniotic sac ruptures before delivery, collecting amniotic fluid through the amniotic fluid testing bottle. After delivery, the reversing handle is activated to open the other side of the L-shaped pipeline, collecting postpartum bleeding into the blood volume testing bottle. The blood volume is then visually measured using graduation lines, allowing for accurate assessment of postpartum hemorrhage.

[0015] This invention, through the design of a lifting plate and an L-shaped telescopic linkage structure, allows for the adjustment of the height of the liquid funnel, amniotic fluid testing bottle, and blood volume testing bottle according to the height of different delivery beds. This ensures that the upper end of the liquid funnel is flush with the edge of the delivery bed, facilitating the collection of amniotic fluid and blood flowing from the perianal opening.

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0022] To address the issue of blood loss during vaginal delivery, the current method of visual estimation is generally used, where doctors estimate the amount of blood loss by eye. This is mostly based on experience, and in reality, the estimated amount of blood loss is usually only about half of the actual amount, which is not very accurate and often leads to assessment errors. Secondly, during vaginal delivery, doctors and nurses pay most attention to the baby and sometimes neglect to keep the mother warm, or forget to keep her warm, which can cause the mother's abdominal area to get cold and affect the mother's health during delivery.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this application includes a drape 2, with a heating blanket 3 connected upwards on both sides of the upper end of the drape 2 via buckles 8, and a base pad 4 connected backwards on both sides of the lower end of the drape 2 via buckles 8. The base pad 4 is laid on the delivery bed 1.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heating blanket 3 is filled with a surrounding heating wire 5 and a control panel 6 is fixed on the outer side of the heating blanket 5. The control panel 6 is connected to an external power supply through a line 7. Liquid funnels 9 are also connected downwards to the buckles 8 on both sides of the lower end of the drape 2.

[0025] like Figure 4As shown, the lower end of the liquid funnel 9 is connected to a three-way valve 10. The outlet ports on both sides of the three-way valve 10 are connected to L-shaped pipes 15. The L-shaped pipes 15 extend downward into the amniotic fluid testing bottle 16 and the blood volume testing bottle 17, respectively. Both the amniotic fluid testing bottle 16 and the blood volume testing bottle 17 are transparent measuring bottles with scale lines machined on their outer surfaces.

[0026] Both sides of the three-way valve 10 are fitted with collars 12. The rear end of the collars 12 is connected downward to the base plate 14 via an L-shaped telescopic connecting rod 13. A threaded guide rod 20 is provided at the middle position of the front end of the upper surface of the base plate 14. A lifting plate 19 is installed on the rod of the threaded guide rod 20 by a nut 21. Both sides of the upper surface of the lifting plate 19 are provided with arc-shaped slots 18. Amniotic fluid testing bottle 16 and blood volume testing bottle 17 are embedded in the slots 18. A reversing handle 11 is provided on the outer side of the three-way valve 10.

[0027] Specifically, during use, the height of the liquid funnel 9, amniotic fluid testing bottle 16, and blood volume testing bottle 17 are adjusted according to the height of the delivery bed 1, so that the upper end of the liquid funnel 9 is flush with the edge of the delivery bed 1. The height of the liquid funnel 9 is adjusted by the L-shaped telescopic connecting rod 13 and limited by the locking nut of the non-telescopic section of the L-shaped telescopic connecting rod 13. The amniotic fluid testing bottle 16 and blood volume testing bottle 17 are embedded in the slot 18 and fixed, and their height is adjusted by the lifting plate 19, so that the L-shaped tubes 15 on both sides extend into the amniotic fluid testing bottle 16 and blood volume testing bottle 17. The height of the lifting plate 19 is limited by the nut 21 on the guide thread rod 20.

[0028] When in use, the upper heating blanket 3 is placed on the mother's abdomen, while the bottom pad 4 is placed under the mother's buttocks to help keep her warm during childbirth, improve blood circulation, and prevent her from catching a cold. After connecting the power, the heating temperature of the heating wire 5 can be adjusted through the control panel 6 to prioritize the mother's comfort. The perforated drape 2 is placed over the mother's vulva. Doctors and nurses can turn the reversing handle 11 to open one side of the L-shaped tube 15 when the amniotic sac ruptures before delivery, and collect amniotic fluid through the amniotic fluid testing bottle 16. After the baby is delivered, the reversing handle 11 is turned to open the other side of the L-shaped tube 15, and the postpartum bleeding is collected into the blood volume testing bottle 17 and measured visually through the scale lines to accurately assess postpartum hemorrhage, providing a basis for the evaluation data in the subsequent surgical summary report issued by the doctor.

[0029] A liquid level sensor and a buzzer can be fixed to the side of the blood volume detection bottle 17. When the blood volume exceeds the height of the liquid level sensor, an alarm will be triggered in time to remind medical staff to handle the emergency.
