ABSTRACT
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines emphasize that external chest compressions should be started as soon as possible when CPR is performed in patients with cardiac arrest. Moreover, those guidelines stress on fast and hard compressions to make the chest fully rebound and minimize non-pressing time. Current mechanical recovery device has several problems such as displacement of the pressing position, high price, difficult to move, and easy dislocation of piston. Because of the physical loss of high-intensity unarmed CPR, the depth and frequency of external chest compression will decrease with the extension of CPR time, leading to CPR failure. Besides, there are other problems caused by non-professional staff, such as the deviation of compression position, the inaccuracy of compression depth and the unsatisfactory rebound of the chest wall. Based on the above factors, the medical staff from the intensive care unit of the Eighth Medical Center of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital designed a portable external chest cardiac compressor based on international CPR guidelines which obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (ZL 2018 2 1173254.3). The portable external chest cardiac compressor is composed of a positioning sucker, elastic body, mounting shell, and pressing components. Rapid and accurate compression positioning, visible compression depth and full chest rebound can be achieved. This device is mobile, easy to operate, and suitable for a broad crowd and various occasions.
ABSTRACT
Patient position management is an important work in clinical treatment. In clinic, it is necessary to adjust the corresponding patient's position according to the characteristics of the patient's condition. The appropriate patient's position plays an important role in treating the disease, alleviating the severity of symptoms and preventing the complications in the critical patients. A medical bedside angle measuring device and medical bed was designed. The measuring device was convenient for the clinicians to read the raised angle in time, improving the working efficiency, and the structure was simple and the operation was convenient. The whole device mainly included panel, unfolding device and medical bed with bed angle measuring device on the panel. There was an angle display area, with the range of display angle was 0°to 75°, which was adjusted to the corresponding angle according to the needs of the patient's condition under usage. The angle corresponding to the horizontal measurement line was the angle of elevating the head of the bed. The newly invented medical bedside angle measuring device and the medical bed could help the clinical medical staff know the patient's position at a glance, raising the bed head accurately, and making it convenient to use. It provided a good solution for clinical application and it was worth to popularize.
ABSTRACT
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a severe respiratory disease characterized by airway obstruction with high mortality and rate of recurrence. Rehabilitation exercise can lessen the possibility of the progressive exacerbation of the patient's condition, exerting an active role in improving their lung function and the quality of the patients' life. Therefore, we have designed a lung function exercise bottle, which is capable of adjusting the pressure according to the patient's needs. It is easy to operate and apply in practice. The exercise bottle is composed of three components, including bottle body, threaded round cap and air blow pipe. The bottle body is formed in rectangle shape, and utilized to contain liquid. The filling opening is designed on the top of the bottle. Outside of the filling opening, there is a screw thread round cap, which can adjust the pressure according to the patient's tolerance, gradually increasing the training intensity,and improving the training effect thereby. The blowpipe can be inserted into the bottle body and the patient can blow the air through the tube. Compared with the traditional rehabilitation training, when the newly invented lung function exercise bottle has been used for rehabilitation exercise, the air pressure in the bottle can be adjusted, with the advantage of wider range of application, lower cost and more convenient. It provides a good solution for clinical and home-based rehabilitation and is worth of popularizing.
