1 TARIFF AIR MATTRESS SYSTEM CONTAINING PULSE MAGNETIC FIELD Technical Area 5 The invention provides both therapeutic treatment for existing decubitus ulcers (pressure sores) and... Pulsed homogeneous magnetic field prevents the formation of new decubitus ulcers (prophylaxis) It relates to an air mattress system that includes... State of the Art According to the latest definition in the International Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Decubitus Ulcers Decubitus ulcer is an epidermal, dermal, or subcutaneous ulcer resulting from pressure force. It is defined as a localized damage response occurring in the tissue. This damage is internal hard tissue. the soft tissue between anatomical structures (bone, cartilage, and tendons) and external rigid support levels as a result of mechanical deformation of tissues or contact with medical devices (patient bed, etc.) This can occur. Decubitus ulcers (pressure sores) are caused by the body weight of long-term hospitalized patients. due to the vascular structures, especially in the parts of the body that come into contact with the mattress. These are wounds that develop secondary to narrowing. In these ischemic areas, hypoxia triggers the development of these wounds. Tissue ulceration occurs due to mechanisms such as inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and necrosis. It is happening and cannot be cured. 25 Decubitus ulcers are a concern for patients, healthcare facilities, and home care professionals. This is among the undesirable situations frequently encountered by these services. Especially considering the geriatric population and the presence of comorbid diseases in our country It can be said that the incidence of these wounds is high when they are taken. This etiological 30 When individuals experiencing mobility difficulties due to trauma or other reasons are added to the list, the decubitus ulcer becomes more pronounced. The incidence of ulcers is increasing in our country. Specifically, it requires monitoring during the care and treatment process, and is a painful and infection-prone structure. because it reduces and threatens the quality of life, requires long, difficult and costly treatment, 35 Decubitus ulcers are considered one of the quality indicators of the healthcare system. It is a process in which prophylaxis and early therapeutic approach are gaining more importance. 2 It is known that the number of patients per healthcare professional in healthcare institutions is increasing every day. The amount of care that can be given to these patients is increasing with each passing day, along with the increase in demand. The number of days is decreasing. Also, with the increase in home-based patient monitoring systems, patients and informal care are benefiting. Donors meet their healthcare needs at home, except in emergency or acute situations. However, All of these situations mentioned above help in the detection of decubitus ulcers and the appropriate implementation of prophylactic measures. This can prevent it from being performed in this way. Moreover, the existing stages of decubitus ulcers As the disease progresses, managing individuals' health becomes increasingly difficult. Care and treatment of decubitus ulcers involves removing the necrotic area from the wound site. This includes cleaning the wound and applying appropriate dressing. Stage I and II decubitus ulcers 10 Hydrocolloid dressings are generally applied to ulcers in Stages III and IV, which are more serious. Absorptive hydrofiber dressings and hydrocolloid or oxulfic transparent dressings for decubitus ulcers. The dressings are used in combination. Also foams, transparent films, hydrogels, silver dressings and as ordered by the physician 15 Personalized cream mixtures are also preferred in the treatment of decubitus ulcers. These are among the methods. Regardless of the method used, the main goal here is to create a wound. absorbing drainage in the area, preventing wound contamination and mechanical damage. to prevent injury, to stop bleeding, to apply pressure around the wound It is clear that the goal is to maintain humidity and ensure the patient's comfort. 20 There are many different methods for treating decubitus ulcers (for example; growth factors, hyperbaric therapy). oxygen applications, negative pressure applications, therapeutic USG applications, ultraviolet (It is used in surgical treatment, graft application, debridement, etc.). As can be seen... Many methods used in the treatment of decubitus ulcers have a 25% impact on the wound healing process. It is becoming more concentrated. However, as stated in the literature, the most common cause of decubitus ulcers is... The effectiveness of the relevant methods on the pressure factor appears to be low. However, Achieving optimal wound healing process and timing without controlling the primary cause It does not seem possible. The most important factor in the formation of decubitus ulcers is pressure. Sufficient blood circulation to this area is also crucial. arterial, venous and capillary due to inability to provide or obstruction of existing circulation With the suppression of circulation, the region's oxygen and nutrient needs cannot be met, and necessary The cells that are present cannot reach the relevant area. The duration and intensity of the pressure, along with the tissue... Tolerance determines the effect of pressure on the skin. Capillary circulation (15-32 mmHg) 35 The pressure that will cause the obstruction should not exceed 32 mmHg. 3 An individual in a seated position may be exposed to pressure exceeding 75 mmHg, In the supine position, the pressure should be between 40 and 60 mmHg, and in the prone position, 50 mmHg. It can be subjected to pressure. This situation is relevant in the prophylaxis and therapeutic treatment of decubitus ulcers. This serves as proof that pressure must be managed effectively throughout the process. In this regard... Methods to control pressure factors are needed for decubitus ulcers. 5 In general, when clinical field and scientific research are examined, the development of decubitus ulcers... and air mattresses to prevent the progression of existing decubitus ulcers. They are also used. Air mattresses reduce the pressure created at the points where they come into contact with the patient's body. accumulation of blood on bony prominences or at a specific point due to patient position 10 By blocking and distributing the support level across the entire surface, the primary purpose of these products is to reduce pressure. The goal is to prevent and manage damage. This method prevents wound formation and promotes wound healing. in addition to protecting patients from the complicated approach and financial burden of the process, care It improves its quality. Most of the time, these air mattresses are placed under the patient and used during the patient's lying down process or In addition to existing mobility impairments, it also affects the patients' life processes. Long With prolonged use of air mattresses, patients can remain in the same position and immobile. This situation is advantageous because the pressure factor is spread across the entire support level instead of a single point. on the side, all areas where the patient comes into contact with the bed are subjected to pressure 20 It concludes. In order to control decubitus ulcers due to the pressure factor. The continuous (long-term) use of these beds is the main working principle of air mattresses. This contradicts the principle of distributing pressure across the entire body to alleviate it. This situation suggests that air mattresses may be another method that can be effective in the wound healing process. This indicates that they should be used in combination. 25 It is known that short-term high pressure can cause decubitus ulcers, while long-term pressure can... Low blood pressure can also cause decubitus ulcers. Air mattress applications can help. By distributing the existing pressure, the development or universal progression of decubitus ulcers attempts are being made to prevent this. However, the patients' relationship with their own bodies and their beds continues. 30 Low and prolonged pressure reduces blood circulation to the skin and the underlying tissue. It restricts the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the tissues. Insufficient circulation to this area. arterial, venous and Suppression of capillary circulation prevents the region from receiving the necessary oxygen and nutrients. The necessary cells cannot reach the relevant area. Moreover, there is no access to the necessary oxygen and nutrient supply. Cells that cannot reach the source begin to break down, and the number of these breakdown products gradually increases. If the wound cannot be removed from the area, the condition develops and progresses rapidly. 4 In other words, the ischemic cascade resulting from the hypoxic conditions affects those who breathe oxygen. a series of biochemical processes initiated after ischemia in tissues lasting seconds to minutes It is a reaction. In this process, the first failure is the failure to produce ATP for cellular energy due to oxygen deficiency. 5 This occurs. Then the cell switches to anaerobic metabolism and produces lactic acid. ATP Due to the deficiency, ion pumps become inoperable, and this results in a lack of calcium (Ca+2) ions. This results in the influx of Ca+2 into the cell. Excessive Ca+2 inside the cell leads to free radicals (SR), reactive substances... harmful substances such as oxygen species (ROS), calpain, endonucleases, ATPases, and phospholipases. This leads to the production of molecules. As a result, 10 cells such as the cell membrane, mitochondria, and lysosomes are formed. The integrity of the structures is disrupted, initiating processes that lead to cell death. Additionally, prolonged use of these mattresses can increase skin moisture levels. This This situation is an additional factor contributing to the disruption of skin integrity. This leads us to consider the use of air mattresses. Trying to control only the pressure factor is not effective in the prophylaxis of decubitus ulcers and 15 This shows that it is not sufficient on its own in the therapeutic process. In conclusion, the disadvantages of the known techniques described above and the subject matter are as follows: due to shortcomings, it will eliminate the disadvantages of the known technique and the existing Automatic sliding systems are needed to provide solutions for these systems. 20 Purpose of the Invention The present invention meets the aforementioned requirements and eliminates all disadvantages. 25 with an air mattress system that includes a pulsed magnetic field, which provides a boost and some additional advantages.
