Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage box for medical drug products and an emergency cart using the same.

Background Art

[0002] Medical drugs stored in an emergency cart have effects on circulation, respiration, nerves, etc. for the purpose of resuscitation. Some of these medical drugs are designated as highly potent drugs, and misadministration due to misidentification of the type, usage, or applicable pathological conditions has a great impact not only on patients but also on medical staff.

[0003] Administration of medical drugs in an emergency cart is carried out by oral instruction while omitting the usual processes (such as instructions, prescriptions, dispensing, etc.) while an immediate medical team proficient in multitasking such as securing the airway and route, monitoring, etc. in a critical situation of a patient's sudden change. Therefore, human error is likely to occur. In fact, even in recent years, multiple incidents and accidents have been reported in which drugs different from the scheduled drug administration were administered or administered in different ways.

[0004] The risk of such misadministration in an emergency cart also causes great anxiety to nurses and others working on the site. As reasons for the anxiety, for example, opinions such as not knowing whether the prescribed amount of an unfamiliar drug is appropriate, not immediately knowing where the prescribed drug is, and usually being locked and unable to see even if one wants to check inside the cart have been raised.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above problems, and its object is to provide a storage box for medical drug products that can be visually recognized from normal times and can immediately grasp the purpose of use, pathological conditions, and usage together with the name of the drug when actually used, and an emergency cart using the same when storing and arranging predetermined medical drugs such as in an emergency cart. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention relates to a medical drug product storage box, The medical drug product is stored according to its indication and type, and is equipped with multiple compartments that are visually identifiable according to the indication. This is a medical drug product storage box in which multiple compartments are grouped according to the applicable disease state and arranged in the order of administration of the medical drugs contained in the medical drug product.

[0007] In one embodiment, the plurality of compartments are comprised of one or more partitions surrounding the medical drug product.

[0008] In one embodiment, the plurality of compartments have the form of a container that is open at the top and can surround the medical drug product.

[0009] In one embodiment, the plurality of compartments are distinguishable by differences in color schemes applied to correspond to the indicated pathological conditions, as described in claim 1.

[0010] In one embodiment, the medical drug product storage box of the present invention further includes inclined surfaces provided within the plurality of compartments for fixing the medical drug products and improving their visibility.

[0011] The present invention also relates to an emergency cart equipped with the above-mentioned medical drug product storage box in the form of a drawer.

[0012] In one embodiment, the arrangement information of the plurality of compartments in the medical drug product storage box and the medical drug products stored within those compartments can be viewed through an external medium.

[0013] In one embodiment, the emergency cart of the present invention comprises a housing having a transparent top and one or more drawers disposed within the housing, wherein the medical drug product storage box is placed in the uppermost drawer, and the arrangement information of the plurality of compartments in the medical drug product storage box and the medical drug products stored in the plurality of compartments is visible through the top.

[0014] In one embodiment, the emergency cart of the present invention comprises a housing having a top plate and one or more drawers disposed within the housing, wherein the medical drug product storage box is placed in the uppermost drawer, and a gap is provided between the inner wall of the top plate and the medical drug product storage box, the gap communicates with an upper opening provided on the drawer handle of the uppermost drawer, and the medical drug product can be removed through the upper opening.

[0015] In a further embodiment, the upper opening is formed by opening two inverted L-shaped sliding inner lids that are arranged side by side inside the top plate. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to this invention, regardless of the experience level or expertise of medical professionals, the purpose and method of use of each medical drug can be instantly grasped according to the patient's condition at the time of use. This prevents the misadministration of medical drugs that may occur due to misidentification of drug type, method of use, or appropriate condition during emergency situations when the system is incorporated into an emergency cart. Furthermore, since the placement of the stored medical drug products can be visually confirmed at all times, it alleviates the anxiety that medical professionals may feel during emergencies, enabling safer and more efficient medical procedures within medical facilities. In addition, because a fixed number of drugs are placed in a fixed location that is easily visible to the user in each compartment, and by using an external medium that displays the placement information of medical drug products in the drawer, the remaining quantity and the number used can be easily confirmed visually, making it possible to improve the efficiency of fixed quantity management.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0018] The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In all the following drawings, the components denoted by the same reference numerals are the same as those shown in the other drawings.

[0019] (Medical agent product storage box) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the box showing an example of the medical agent storage box of the present invention.

[0020] The medical agent storage box 100 of the present invention (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "box 100") includes a plurality of compartments 102. The box 100 shown in FIG. 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape surrounded by side walls 112, 114 and a bottom (not shown), and is open at the top.

[0021] The compartments 102 store medical agent products as described below based on the applicable disease states and their types (for example, in a predetermined meaningful arrangement such as the administration order of the applicable disease states of patients and the types of drugs to be administered).

[0022] Furthermore, each section 102 is distinguished by a visually identifiable mark. Examples of visually identifiable marks include color schemes, shading, characters (e.g., hiragana, katakana, kanji, alphabet, numbers, and other characters), figures, symbols, and combinations thereof. It is preferable that the marks be distinguishable by color schemes, as this allows for intuitive identification regardless of various conditions such as knowledge, skills, abilities, and years of experience in emergency medicine. In other words, in the present invention, it is preferable that the above-mentioned multiple sections 102 are designed to be visually identifiable by the user (e.g., a doctor or nurse) by differences in color schemes applied to correspond to the appropriate pathological conditions.

[0023] In this invention, each compartment 102 displays information about the medical drug product stored inside, along with the above-mentioned label, in a manner that is visible from the outside. Examples of information about the medical drug product include the name, volume, and concentration of the medical drug product; an external view of the product (e.g., a photograph); instructions for use; information regarding the undiluted solution or dilution; information regarding whether intramuscular or intravenous injection is required; and notation specified by other laws and regulations concerning potent drugs or psychotropic drugs, etc.; and combinations thereof.

[0024] Examples of medical drug products that may be stored in compartment 102 include norepinephrine, Inovan, dopamine, ephedrine (e.g., ephedrine hydrochloride), atrobin sulfate, adrenaline, amiodarone (e.g., amiodarone hydrochloride), glucose, lidocaine, magnesium sulfate, diazepam, midazolam, polaramine, famotidine, steroid preparations (e.g., hydrocortisone), electrolyte correction solutions (e.g., potassium preparations, calcicol, magnesium preparations), physiological saline, and glucose solution.

[0025] In Figure 1, compartment 102 is formed by the intersection of multiple partitions, namely, a vertical partition 116 extending in the front-to-back direction in Figure 1 and horizontal partitions 118a and 118b extending in the left-to-right direction. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the upper ends of the horizontal partitions 118a and 118b are marked with different labels (shading), suggesting that for patients with a specific indication, a medical drug product stored in one of the compartments 102 aligned with the same label (shading) representing that condition is administered to the patient.

[0026] The size of the compartments 102 formed in the box 100 of the present invention is not particularly limited. All compartments 102 may be designed to be the same size, or some or all of the compartments 102 may be designed to be different sizes from one another. Preferably, the compartments 102 are designed to have sufficient depth or height so that the medical drug products to be stored do not easily protrude from the top.

[0027] The number of compartments 102 provided within the box 100 is also not particularly limited. An appropriate number of compartments 102 can be selected by a person skilled in the art depending on the types and number of applicable medical conditions that can be handled by the box 100, the types and number of medical drug products to be contained, etc.

[0028] Alternatively, the number of vertical partitions 116 and horizontal partitions 118a, 118b arranged in box 100 is not particularly limited. The number of vertical partitions 116 and horizontal partitions 118a, 118b can be arbitrarily selected by a person skilled in the art depending on the size of box 100 and the type and number of medical drug products to be stored in box 100.

[0029] In box 100, the vertical partitions 116 and horizontal partitions 118a, 118b may be fixed in place beforehand, or they may be designed to be freely detachable so that various sizes of compartments 102 can be formed by combining them with other partitions of different lengths as needed.

[0030] The box 100 of the present invention can be designed to have various sizes. For example, if the box 100 is to be housed in a drawer of a medical cart described later, or if the box 100 itself is to be used as a drawer, the vertical length of the box 100 is preferably 20 cm to 50 cm, and more preferably 30 cm to 40 cm. The horizontal length of the box 100 is preferably 30 cm to 70 cm, and more preferably 50 cm to 60 cm. Furthermore, the depth (height) of the box 100 is preferably 4 cm to 15 cm, and more preferably 5 cm to 10 cm.

[0031] The side walls 112, 114 and bottom (not shown) of box 100, as well as the vertical partitions 116 and horizontal partitions 118a, 118b, are each independently constructed from any material. Examples of such materials include metals such as steel and aluminum; resins such as thermoplastics and thermosetting resins; paper such as cardboard and corrugated cardboard; and combinations thereof. In addition, the side walls 112, 114 and bottom (not shown) of box 100, as well as the vertical partitions 116 and horizontal partitions 118a, 118b, may have antimicrobial coatings known in the art applied to their surfaces (outer surface, inner surface, or both).

[0032] Figure 2 is a perspective view showing another example of the medical drug storage box of the present invention.

[0033] The medical drug storage box 200 shown in Figure 2 (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "box 200") is the same as the box 100 shown in Figure 1, except that multiple compartments 202 are provided by vertical partitions 116 and horizontal partitions 118a and 118b, which have the same markings (visually identifiable markings) on their upper ends and sides.

[0034] In the box 200 shown in Figure 2, the above-mentioned markings are applied to a larger area within each compartment 202. This makes it easier for doctors, nurses, etc., who view the box 200 from above or from an oblique angle to identify each compartment 202, further reducing the possibility of accidentally removing medical drug products into compartment 202.

[0035] Figure 3 shows another example of the medical drug storage box of the present invention.

[0036] In the medical drug storage box 300 shown in Figure 3 (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "box 300"), a frame 310, which is an open-topped rectangular parallelepiped composed of side walls 312, 314 and a bottom surface (not shown), contains multiple compartments 302a, 302b, 302c, 302d, and 302e of various sizes, arranged in the form of open-topped containers. The sizes of compartments 302a, 302b, 302c, 302d, and 302e are designed to conform to the size of the medical drug products to be stored.

[0037] In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the vertical and horizontal lengths of each compartment may be designed such that one length is a predetermined multiple of the other (for example, 2 and 3 times). This allows multiple compartments to be arranged within the box without creating unnecessary gaps between adjacent compartments. In this case, the size of the box itself may also be adjusted as appropriate to prevent the formation of unnecessary gaps between the inner walls of the box and each compartment.

[0038] Here, when compartments 302a, 302b, 302c, 302d, and 302e, designed according to the size of the medical drug products, are housed within the frame 310, differences in the size of the manufactured compartments may result in unwanted gaps within the frame 310. In such cases, spacers 320, which are configured in the form of any rectangular parallelepiped as shown in Figure 4, may be provided. These spacers 320 can fill the gaps and prevent the various compartments from moving irregularly within the frame 310'. Furthermore, the spacers 320 may be arranged within the box with the upper and lower parts reversed. In addition, relevant information regarding the medical drug storage box 300' of the present invention (for example, the number of medical drug products that should always be stored in the compartments, precautions to take when using all or specific medical drug products, etc.) can be written on the upper surface of the spacers 320 to draw the user's attention.

[0039] Referring again to Figure 3, in the box 300 shown in Figure 3, the inner surface of each compartment 302a, 302b, 302c, 302d, and 302e is pre-marked with a unique label (visually identifiable label) corresponding to the type of medical drug product contained in each compartment and the indications for which the product is used. Each of the compartments 302a, 302b, 302c, 302d, and 302e does not necessarily have to be completely fixed to the frame 310 and can be removed at will.

[0040] Furthermore, the upper ends of sections 302a, 302b, 302c, 302d, and 302e shown in Figure 3 may be further improved. For example, using section 302a shown in Figure 3, a horizontally extending flange-shaped edge 304a may be provided at the upper end of section 302a. In this invention, the edge 304a is also marked with the same markings (visually identifiable markings) as section 302a. The presence of the edge 304a makes it easy for users (e.g., doctors, nurses) to visually identify section 302a even if they view it from above, thanks to the markings on the edge 304a.

[0041] In the present invention, further modifications may be made to enhance the stability of the compartment having the above-mentioned container shape within the medical drug storage box.

[0042] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the fixing method between the container and the frame that constitute the medical drug storage box 300' (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "box 300'") shown in Figure 4.

[0043] As shown in Figure 5, a fixing member 332 may be attached to a part of the outer surface of compartment 302a' (for example, a part of the outer surface and / or bottom of compartment 302a', the upper or lower top, a part of the upper or lower edge, or a combination thereof). Alternatively, a fixing member 334 may be attached to a part of the inner surface of the frame 310' (for example, a part of the side wall and / or bottom). By using the fixing members 332 and 334, multiple compartments 302a' arranged inside the box 300' can be fixed in place. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in Figure 5, regardless of whether the compartments 302a' are arranged in a horizontal or vertical orientation, or in a horizontal or vertical orientation with the top and bottom reversed, the compartments 302a' can be properly positioned inside the box 300' by the fixing members 332 and 334.

[0044] Examples of fixing members 332 and 334 include magnets and strong or low-tack adhesives or bonding agents. It is preferable that the fixing members 332 and 334 be magnets and low-tack adhesives or bonding agents, as this allows for repeated attachment and detachment of the section 302a' from the frame 310'. When using magnets for the fixing members 332 and 334, it is necessary to consider the north and south poles of the magnets when arranging them to prevent repulsion from hindering the fixing.

[0045] Figure 6 shows an example of a container that makes up the medical drug storage box shown in Figure 4.

[0046] As shown in Figure 6, if the stored medical drug product is made of a material that is easily damaged by impact, such as a glass ampoule 340, it is preferable that it be properly secured within compartment 302a' to prevent such damage. Furthermore, it is preferable that the contents of compartment 302a' be as easily visible as possible when viewed from above.

[0047] Therefore, in the present invention, measures may be taken to provide inclined surfaces 344 and 346 within a section 302a' and to fix the medical drug product 342 to the inclined surfaces 344 and 346 using elastic members 348 such as rubber cushioning material. Specifically, two inclined surfaces 344 and 346 are arranged in a V-shape within a single section 302a' so that their lower ends are in contact, and preferably multiple elastic members 348 are fixed to a part of that surface. Then, the easily damaged medical drug product 342, such as a glass ampoule, is fixed on the inclined surface 344 by being sandwiched between the multiple elastic members 348.

[0048] To remove the medical drug product 342 from this state, for example, by spreading apart the clamping elastic member 348, the medical drug product 342 can be easily removed.

[0049] In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, it is preferable that the elastic member 348 is attached to the inclined surface 344 using a low-tack adhesive or bonding agent so that it can be attached and detached.

[0050] In the medical drug storage box of the present invention, one type of medical drug product is typically stored in each of the above compartments, based on various indications (e.g., shock, hypotension, cardiac arrest, anaphylaxis, bradycardia, fatal arrhythmia, convulsions, impaired consciousness, coma, hypoglycemia, hyperkalemia, etc.). Furthermore, a common (e.g., identical) label is applied to the above compartments according to the indication and type of medical drug product. This allows doctors and nurses to quickly select the necessary medical drug product from the labeled compartments based on their knowledge and experience, in addition to their own knowledge and experience, for example, in the case of a patient requiring resuscitation or emergency medical treatment. As a result, it is possible to prevent the misadministration of drugs or dosages due to human error and avoid incidents and accidents in which drugs are administered in a manner different from what was expected or drugs are administered in a manner different from what was expected.

[0051] (Emergency cart) The emergency cart of the present invention is equipped with the above-mentioned medical drug product storage box in the form of a drawer.

[0052] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the emergency cart of the present invention, which is equipped with the medical drug storage box shown in Figure 1.

[0053] The emergency cart 700 of the present invention is equipped with the above-mentioned medical drug storage box 100 in the form of a drawer.

[0054] The Emergency Cart 700 is a cart used to move patients to their location when they experience sudden changes in their condition, such as cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, arrhythmia, seizures, or shock. It stores medications and supplies to enable rapid initial response to such emergencies. Generally, it is equipped with multiple drawers. For example, the top drawer (first drawer) stores medications necessary for saving lives and supplies used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The second drawer (second drawer) from the top stores supplies used in the next stage of CPR, as well as supplies necessary for securing vascular access and blood collection. The third drawer (third drawer) from the top stores supplies necessary for securing the airway. The fourth drawer (fourth drawer) from the top stores supplies such as intravenous fluids and bag-valve masks.

[0055] In the emergency cart 700 of the present invention, the medical drug storage box 100 may be, for example, the topmost (first) drawer itself, or it may be housed inside the topmost drawer. When the medical drug storage box 100 is housed inside the topmost drawer, the height of the drawer is preferably 4 cm to 20 cm, more preferably 8 cm to 15 cm.

[0056] As mentioned above, the medical drug storage box 100 also stores drugs designated as highly toxic. For this reason, all drawers in the emergency cart 700, or the top drawer in particular, are normally locked in accordance with other laws and regulations to prevent easy access to the drugs.

[0057] In the emergency cart 700 of the present invention, if the medical drug storage box 100 is housed in the uppermost (first) drawer, a gap may be provided between the upper end of the drawer and the top plate 702 of the cart 700. The size of the gap is not necessarily limited, but is preferably 5 cm to 20 cm, more preferably 10 cm to 15 cm.

[0058] In Figure 7, an external medium 704 is placed on the top plate 702 of the emergency cart 700. In Figure 7, the external medium 704 is a printed material made of, for example, paper, or a plastic plate or sheet, and its surface displays information about the arrangement of multiple compartments within the medical drug storage box 100 and the medical drug products stored within those compartments. This allows doctors and nurses to visually recognize the arrangement information within the medical drug storage box 100 at all times through the external medium 704, even if the drawer containing the medical drug storage box 100 is normally locked and its contents cannot be directly checked.

[0059] Figure 8 shows an example of an external medium that displays information about the placement of medical drug products within a medical drug storage box incorporated into the emergency cart shown in Figure 7.

[0060] The external medium 704' shown in Figure 8 contains information about the arrangement of multiple compartments within the medical drug storage box 100 shown in Figure 7, as well as the medical drug products stored within those compartments, using various colors, shapes, and photographs of the drug products. In the embodiment shown in Figure 8, the information is color-coded according to the type of indication (shock, hypotension, cardiac arrest, anaphylaxis, bradycardia, convulsions, intubation, hypoglycemia, hyperkalemia), and the drug products to be used are indicated by symbols such as arrows, showing the method of use and the order in which they are used. The external medium 704' also distinguishes between highly potent drugs and psychotropic drugs, and includes markings based on other laws and regulations (for example, markings using a white background, red frame, or red text).

[0061] While Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the case where the external media 704 and 704' display the arrangement information of medical drug products in the form of printed material, the external media in this invention are not particularly limited to such forms. For example, as shown in Figure 9, a portable electronic device (e.g., a smartphone, laptop computer, tablet computer, or other PDA) itself may be used as the external media 704''. The external media 704'' shown in Figure 9 is a tablet computer, and its screen can display the arrangement information of medical drug products in a medical drug storage box. In this case, the external media 704'' does not particularly need to be placed on the top plate 702 of the emergency cart 700 as shown in Figure 7, and may be carried individually by doctors or nurses.

[0062] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the emergency cart of the present invention, which is equipped with the medical drug storage box shown in Figure 1 in the form of a drawer.

[0063] In the emergency cart 700b shown in Figure 10, there is a housing 706 with a transparent top panel 702', and multiple drawers are arranged inside the housing 706. Here, the top panel 702' is made of a transparent material such as glass or a plastic sheet (e.g., an acrylic sheet or a polycarbonate sheet), and the topmost (first) drawer consists of a medical drug storage box 100. In the emergency cart 700b, even if the drawers are locked at all times, the arrangement information of the multiple compartments and medical drug products inside the topmost drawer, i.e., the medical drug storage box 100, can be seen through the top panel 702'.

[0064] Figure 11 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the emergency cart of the present invention, which is equipped with the medical drug storage box shown in Figure 1 in the form of a drawer.

[0065] In the emergency cart 700c shown in Figure 11, there is a housing 708 with a transparent top panel 702', and multiple drawers are arranged inside the housing 708. Here, a medical drug storage box 100 is placed in the topmost (first) drawer, and a gap 710 is provided between the inner wall 702'a of the top panel 702' and the medical drug storage box 100. This gap 710 is also connected to an upper opening 714 provided above the drawer handle 712 of the topmost drawer (medical drug storage box 100). The upper opening 714 is designed to be large enough for doctors and nurses to reach in and retrieve medical drug products from the medical drug storage box 100 without having to pull out the drawer, while visually inspecting the inside of the drawer through the transparent top panel. With this configuration, the emergency cart 700c can retrieve medical drug products stored in the medical drug storage box 100 without having to pull out the topmost drawer.

[0066] Figure 12 is a schematic diagram showing yet another example of the emergency cart of the present invention, which is equipped with the medical drug storage box shown in Figure 1 in the form of a drawer.

[0067] In the embodiment shown in Figure 12(a), the emergency cart 700d is equipped with two inverted L-shaped sliding inner lids 722 and 724 inside the transparent top plate 702'. In Figure 12, the inverted L-shaped sliding inner lids 722 and 724 are slidable from side to side, and by sliding both or at least one of the inverted L-shaped sliding inner lids 722 and 724 toward the outside of the housing 709, an upper opening 714 is formed above the top drawer (medical drug storage box 100), allowing medical drug products stored in the medical drug storage box 100 to be removed without pulling out the top drawer, similar to the embodiment shown in Figure 11. Furthermore, the inverted L-shaped sliding inner lids 722 and 724 on the left and right may also have sufficient strength to function as a workbench. Furthermore, by providing a locking mechanism (not shown) that normally prevents the inverted L-shaped sliding inner lids 722 and 724 from sliding, it is possible to obtain a state in which the inverted L-shaped sliding inner lids 722 and 724 are closed, that is, a state in which the upper open opening 714 is not formed. This makes it possible to safely store medical drug products under normal circumstances.

[0068] In the embodiment shown in Figure 12, the external medium 704, as shown in Figure 7, may be divided and arranged on the upper surfaces of the two inverted L-shaped sliding inner lids 722 and 724 (not shown). When the two inverted L-shaped sliding inner lids 722 and 724 are closed, the external medium can be seen through the transparent top plate 702', making it possible to recognize the arrangement of medical drug products stored in the medical drug storage box 100.
