In the intensive care unit (ICU), the occurrence of bedsores has always been the focus of attention of medical staff and patients' families. Pressure sores, also known as pressure sores, are caused by long-term pressure on local tissues of the body, resulting in blood circulation disorders, tissue nutrition deficiency, and then the skin loses its normal physiological function, causing tissue damage and necrosis. It will not only bring physical pain to the patient, but also may cause serious consequences such as infection, sepsis, and even threaten the patient's life. Therefore, the prevention of bedsores is very important for the care of ICU patients.
In order to effectively prevent bedsores, ICU needs to adopt a series of comprehensive nursing measures. First, the frequency of turning over is the key to preventing bedsores. ICU patients should be turned over regularly to reduce prolonged pressure on the body. For patients who cannot turn themselves, the nursing staff should turn them every 2 hours, and even every 30 minutes if necessary. When turning over, special attention should be paid to reducing the pressure on the prominent parts of the bone (such as the sacrum, hip, etc.), and auxiliary tools such as soft pillows and air cushions can be used to keep these parts suspended and avoid direct contact with the bed plate.
In addition, position change is also an important means to prevent bedsores. If the condition permits, the patient's position can be appropriately changed, such as lateral lying position, semi-lying position, etc., in order to disperse the pressure and reduce the long-term pressure in the same part. Pressure relief devices such as
air mattresses, foam pads and water pads can also effectively reduce pressure on local parts of the body and promote blood circulation, which is ideal for preventing pressure sores.
In addition to position management, daily cleansing and keeping skin dry are equally important. ICU patients should have their skin cleaned daily to keep it dry and clean. When cleaning, use warm water and mild cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals. If the patient sweats excessively or contaminates the skin with excrement such as urine and feces, change the sheets and clothes in time, and use absorbent pads and other auxiliary tools to keep the skin dry.
Nutritional support is also an important part of preventing bedsores. ICU patients should take in high-calorie, high-protein, high-fiber digestible foods to enhance the body's resistance and ability to prevent pressure sores. For patients with malnutrition or dietary difficulties, nutritional supplements can be provided through intravenous nutrition or enteral nutrition.
However, although the traditional preventive measures are effective, there are often many difficulties in practice. To this end,
Xiamen Weiyou Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has launched an innovative bedsore prevention
electric hospital bed, which provides a more convenient and efficient means of prevention for intensive care patients.
This electric
medical bed has a variety of intelligent functions, which can imitate the process and posture of healthy people to turn over, and make the patient turn left or right by moving in different directions on the bed surface. In the process of turning over, through the continuous transformation and adjustment of the patient's body center of gravity, improve the blood circulation of long-term bed patients and the stress position of the muscles of the back and buttocks, so that the muscles and bones of the patient's back and buttocks can be fully rested, and effectively prevent the occurrence of bedsores.
In addition, the electric medical bed is also equipped with a human pressure sensing system, which can real-time monitor the pressure, temperature and humidity data of the parts prone to pressure sores, and automatically adjust the air bag of the corresponding part of the flexible adjustment device in combination with the position and posture of the body and the compression time, so as to realize the intelligent prevention of pressure sores. This intelligent design not only improves the effect of preventing bedsore, but also greatly reduces the labor intensity of nursing staff.
To sum up, the prevention of bedsores requires comprehensive nursing measures, including frequent turning and position management, the use of special mattresses, keeping the skin clean and dry, and strengthening nutritional support. The electric bedsore prevention medical bed of Xiamen Weiyou Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. provides more convenient and efficient prevention means for intensive care patients through intelligent design and innovative technical means. It is believed that with the joint efforts of medical staff and patients' families, we can more effectively prevent the occurrence of bedsores and escort the road to recovery of patients.If you are interested in this
