Description

i DK 172660 B1in DK 172660 B1

Opfindelsen angår en indretning til stabilisering af in-stabil bækkenfraktur ved uheldsofre.The invention relates to a device for stabilizing unstable pelvic fracture by accident victims.

En bækkenfraktur opstår i de fleste tilfælde ved et po-5 lytrauma, hvor trafikuheld er årsag til en væsentlig del af disse. Bækkenfrakturen er således i mange tilfælde forbundet med thorax- eller abdominal traumer, hvirvelsøj-lefrakturer eller kranie/hjernetraumer. Blodtabet ved en instabil bækkenfraktur er et alvorligt og uløst problem.In most cases, a pelvic fracture arises from a patient trauma, where traffic accidents cause a significant part of these. The pelvic fracture is thus often associated with thoracic or abdominal trauma, vertebral column fractures or skull / brain trauma. The blood loss from an unstable pelvic fracture is a serious and unsolved problem.

10 Blodtabet er overvejende af venøs natur, hvorved især blødningen fra plexus og den frakturerede knogleoverflade er fremtrædende.. Ved en instabil bækkenfraktur kan der således forekomme blodtab på omkring 4 liter eller mere, hvilket i sig selv er en alvorlig trussel for patientens 15 liv. I forbindelse med de ovennævnte øvrige traumer, som forekommer i forbindelse med et polytrauma, vil et sådant blodtab være af yderligere alvorlig natur. I denne forbindelse kan det nævnes, at frakturer, som ved den orienterende kliniske undersøgelse som finder sted på uhelds-20 stedet, kun i ringe grad forekommer at være instabile, kan føre til et så betydeligt blodtab, at dette i forbindelse med eventuelle øvrige beskadigelser kan være livstruende.10 The blood loss is predominantly venous in nature, whereby the bleeding from the plexus and the fractured bone surface is prominent. Thus, in an unstable pelvic fracture, blood loss of about 4 liters or more can occur, which in itself is a serious threat to the patient's 15 life. In connection with the above-mentioned other traumas that occur in connection with a polytrauma, such blood loss will be of a further serious nature. In this connection, it may be mentioned that fractures which, at the accidental clinical examination taking place at the accident site, appear to be only slightly unstable, can lead to such significant blood loss that in connection with any other injuries. can be life-threatening.

25 I mange tilfælde forsøges en sådan opstået situation afhjulpet ved gennem infusionsterapi at opnå en hæmodyna-misk stabilisering.In many cases, such a situation is attempted to be remedied by achieving hemodynamic stabilization through infusion therapy.

Der kendes en såkaldt bækkentvinge til stabilisering af 30 det frakturerede bækkenparti. Denne bækkentvinge bevirker en lateral trykpåvirkning via to i bækkenskålene inddrevne dorne. Den positive virkning på blødningen som følge af en stabilisering af bækkenet er ubestridt. Imidlertid er en væsentlig ulempe ved denne kendte indretning, at 35 denne må anbringes invasivt og derfor kun kan anvendes under kliniske forhold.A so-called pelvic mandrel is known for stabilizing the fractured pelvic portion. This pelvic forcing causes a lateral pressure effect via two mandrels driven into the pelvic bowls. The positive effect on bleeding as a result of pelvic stabilization is undisputed. However, a major disadvantage of this known device is that it must be placed invasively and therefore can only be used in clinical conditions.

# 2 DK 172660 B1# 2 DK 172660 B1

Der kendes desuden en indretning i form af en trykbeklædning, som idet denne anbringes omkring kroppens nedre ekstremiteter og her trykpåvirker disse skal forhindre en nedsynkning af blodet i benene ved en dekompenseret 5 kredsløbssituation. Kompressionen virker imidlertid kun på benene og adomen og har ikke nogen effekt på den mekaniske stabilisering af bækkenet.In addition, a device is known in the form of a pressure garment which, as it is placed around the lower extremities of the body, and here pressures them to prevent a blood soaking in the legs in a decompensated circulatory situation. However, the compression acts only on the legs and the abdomen and has no effect on the mechanical stabilization of the pelvis.

I US patentskrifterne 4.576.154 og 5.407.422 er vist bæk-10 kenstøttebælter til brug hos personer, som lider af ustabilitet ved bækkenledene under bevægelse. En sådan ustabilitet fremkommer eksempelvis som følge af ledbåndssvækkelse. Bæltet har i den forbindelse til formål at modvirke udadgående kræfter på bækkenskålene. Sådanne udadgåen-15 de kræfter kan medføre bevægelser i ledene og det svækkede væv under en rehabiliteringsperiode og herved forlænge denne periode. Der er altså udelukkende tale om en anordning til støtte af et intakt bækkenparti med henblik på at hindre udadgående bevægelse i bækkenledene.US Patents 4,576,154 and 5,407,422 disclose pelvic support belts for use in persons suffering from pelvic joint instability during movement. Such instability occurs, for example, as a result of ligament weakening. In this connection, the belt aims to counteract outward forces on the pelvic bowls. Such outward forces may cause movement of the joints and weakened tissue during a rehabilitation period, thereby prolonging this period. Thus, it is merely a device for supporting an intact pelvic portion to prevent outward movement of the pelvic joints.

20 WO 90/09155 beskriver et korset til støtte af den neder-ste del af rygsøjlen. Anordningen omfatter en oppustelig del for tilpasning af korsettet til konturerne af brugerens ryg. Korsettet er således ikke tiltænkt anvendelse i 25 forbindelse med støtte af et fraktureret bækken og den i konstruktive opbygning af bæltet gør at dette heller ikke er egnet hertil idet den oppustelige del er anbragt centralt på rygstykket..20 WO 90/09155 discloses a corset to support the lower part of the spine. The device comprises an inflatable portion for adapting the corset to the contours of the user's back. Thus, the corset is not intended to be used in connection with the support of a fractured pelvis and in the constructive construction of the belt, this is also not suitable for this since the inflatable part is placed centrally on the back.

30 Endelig kendes fra SU patent nr. 584861 en anordning til anvendelse i forbindelse med støtte af en tilskadekommen med bækkenfrakturer. Anordningen fungerer derved, at en dråbeformet skål fastgøres under den ene side af bækkenpartiet og mod den tilskadekomnes ryg. Der sker herved 35 ikke en fastspænding af anordningen omkring bækkenpartiet men udelukkende omkring den tilskadekomnes overkrop og 3 DK 172660 B1 omkring dennes ene ben. Anordningen sigter således mod at hindre bevægelse af den ene bækkenskåls halvdel i forhold til patientens ryg og ene ben. Anordningen ifølge det russiske patent er selv sagt yderst kompliceret, og både 5 vanskelig og tidskrævende at anbringe på den tilskadekomne. Derudover vil denne ikke i alle tilfælde yde en ønskelig stabilisering af en bækkenfraktur, idet denne ikke sigter mod at skabe et tryk af frakturens flader mod hinanden .30 Finally, from US Patent No. 584861, a device for use in support of an injury with pelvic fractures is known. The device works by attaching a drop-shaped bowl under one side of the pelvic portion and against the back of the injured person. Thereby, there is not a clamping of the device around the pelvic portion but solely around the upper body of the injured person and around one leg. The device thus aims to prevent movement of one half of the pelvic bowl relative to the patient's back and one leg. The device according to the Russian patent is itself said to be extremely complicated and both difficult and time-consuming to place on the injured person. In addition, it will not in all cases provide a desirable stabilization of a pelvic fracture, since it does not aim to create a pressure of the fracture's surfaces against each other.

Den nærmest kendte teknik inden for området er vist i SU 584861. De i skriftene US 4 576 154, US 5 407 422 og WO 90/09155 viste indretninger er ikke egnede til brug i forbindelse med stabilisering af en bækkenfraktur og er 15 da heller ikke tiltænkt anvendt til dette formål.The most well-known technique in the art is shown in SU 584861. The devices disclosed in US 4 576 154, US 5 407 422 and WO 90/09155 are not suitable for use in stabilizing a pelvic fracture and are therefore not intended for this purpose.

Formålet med den foreliggende opfindelse er således at angive en indretning til stabilisering af instabil bækkenfraktur ved uheldsofre, hvor denne indretning også kan 20 anvendes under ikke-kliniske forhold som eksempelvis på uheldsstedet.The object of the present invention is thus to provide a device for stabilizing unstable pelvic fracture in accident victims, where this device can also be used in non-clinical conditions such as at the accident site, for example.

Dette opnås ifølge opfindelsen ved, at indretningen omfatter et bælte til anbringelse omkring uheldsofrets bæk-25 ken/hofteparti, i forbindelse med bæltet midler til at fastholde dette i en tilstrammet tilstand mod uheldsofret samt i det mindste to første ekspanderbare organer, som er anbragt på en sådan måde, at disse i den for bæltet på uheldsofret anbragte position ved deres ekspansion tryk-30 ker mod uheldsofret på bækkenets bagside ud for bækkenskålene og strammer bæltet yderligere.This is achieved according to the invention in that the device comprises a belt for positioning around the pelvis / hip portion of the accident victim, in connection with the belt means for holding it in a tightened condition against the accident victim and at least two first expandable members which are arranged on the in such a way that in the position of the accident victim's belt, during their expansion, they press against the accident victim on the back of the pelvis outside the pelvic bowls and further tighten the belt.

Ved hjælp af en sådan indretning er det muligt at opnå en effektiv stabilisering af det frakturerede bækken, og som 35 følge deraf en effektiv kontrol med venøse blødninger. Indretningen er ukompliceret at håndtere og kan monteres 4 DK 172660 B1 hurtigt, idet der udelukkende er tale om en ekstern anbringelse. Som følge af denne ukomplicerede og hurtige anbringelsesmulighed er en tidlig anbringelse af denne eksempelvis på uheldstedet mulig idet indretningen kan 5 betjenes af redningsmandskabet. Den målrettede anbringelse af systemet bevirker, at der kun er ringe påvirkning I af andre organsystemer, og det er desuden muligt ved hjælp af indretningen at undgå en infusionsterapi.By means of such a device it is possible to achieve an effective stabilization of the fractured pelvis, and consequently an effective control of venous bleeding. The device is easy to handle and can be mounted quickly, since it is only an external arrangement. As a result of this uncomplicated and quick placement possibility, an early placement of this, for example, at the accident site is possible as the device can be operated by the rescue crew. The targeted placement of the system causes little effect on other organ systems, and it is also possible to avoid infusion therapy by means of the device.

10 I det mindste et ydre lag af indretningen er ifølge en foretrukken udførelsesfonn for opfindelsen tildannet af et i alt væsentligt ikke strækbart materiale. Herved bliver trykudøvelsen entydig især ved anvendelse af ekspanderbare organer med en overtryksventil med en forudbe-15 stemt overtryksindstilling.At least one outer layer of the device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is formed of a substantially non-stretchable material. Hereby, the exertion of pressure becomes unique, particularly by the use of expandable means with a pressure valve with a predetermined pressure setting.

* I en yderligere foretrukken udførelsesform er de ekspan derbare organer flytbart fastholdt på bæltet for herved f at kunne tilpasse indretningen til forskellige kropsstør-20 reiser og former.In a further preferred embodiment, the expandable members are removably secured to the belt so as to be able to adapt the device to various body sizes and shapes.

For at hindre at indretningen forskydes fra sin stilling omkring bækkenpartiet i retningen mod uheldsofrets overkrop, er der hensigtsmæssigt anbragt holdeorganer ved en 25 side af bæltet, hvor disse holdeorganer har en længde, £ der muliggør, at disse kan føres ind mellem uheldsofrets ben og fastgøres i forhold til bæltet på den modstående side af patienten, idet der er tilvejebragt fastgørelsesmidler på henholdsvis bælte og holdeorganer.In order to prevent the device from shifting from its position around the pelvic portion in the direction towards the upper body of the casualty, holding means are conveniently arranged at a side of the belt, these holding means having a length which allows them to be inserted between the legs of the casualty and secured. relative to the belt on the opposite side of the patient, providing fasteners on the belt and retaining means, respectively.

3030

Der er yderligere hensigtsmæssigt anbragt et tredje ekspanderbart organ på bæltet, hvor dette organ er placeret således, at dette trykker mod uheldsofret på bækkenets forside. Herved opnås en yderligere målrettet stabilise-35 ring af bækkenfrakturen.Further, a third expandable member is conveniently arranged on the belt where this member is positioned so that it presses against the accident victim on the front of the pelvis. Hereby, further targeted stabilization of the pelvic fracture is achieved.

5 DK 172660 B15 DK 172660 B1

Hensigtsmæssigt er de to første og eventuelt det tredje yderligere ekspanderbare organ ved hjælp af en fælles trykmedietilledning tilsluttet til en trykmedieforsyning.Conveniently, the two first and optionally the third further expandable means are connected to a print media supply by means of a common pressure medium supply.

Herved skabes der mulighed for på en gang at ekspandere 5 alle tilsluttede ekspanderbare organer. Midlerne til fastholdelse af bæltet i dets opstrammede tilstand før ekspandering af de ekspanderbare organer samt midlerne til at fastholde de ekspanderbare organer i forhold til bæltet udgøres i en hensigtsmæssig udførelsesform af en 10 sædvanlig burrelåsemekanisme, også kaldet en krog/løkke-mekanisme (Velcro®) . Herved opnås en trinløs og hurtig indstilling. Andre lukke- og fastholdelsesmekanismer kan dog også anvendes. Blandt sådanne kan nævnes knapper, tryklåse, hægter, sædvanlige bæltespænder og ramme, der 15 fra de ekspanderbare organer strækker sig rundt om bæltet .This creates the opportunity to expand at once 5 all connected expandable organs. The means for holding the belt in its tightened state before expanding the expandable members, as well as the means for holding the expandable members relative to the belt, are in a convenient embodiment of a conventional hook-and-loop mechanism (Velcro®) (Velcro®). . This provides a stepless and quick adjustment. However, other closing and retaining mechanisms may also be used. Among these are buttons, snaps, fasteners, conventional belt buckles and frame extending from the expandable members around the belt.

På fordelagtig vis udgøres de ekspanderbare organer af luftudvidelige elastomerblærer forsynet med en udløselig 20 énvejsventil. Denne ventil kan eventuelt være forsynet med en overtryksmekanisme, således at der kun kan opnås et bestemt tryk i blæren og dermed en forudbestemt maksimal trykpåvirkning fra indretningen på uheldsofret.Advantageously, the expandable members are air expandable elastomeric bladders provided with a releasable one-way valve. This valve may optionally be provided with an overpressure mechanism so that only a certain pressure can be obtained in the bladder and thus a predetermined maximum pressure effect from the device on the accident victim.

25 Opfindelsen forklares i det følgende nærmere med henvisning til tegningen, hvorpå en udførelsesform for opfindelsen er vist skematisk, og hvorThe invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which an embodiment of the invention is shown diagrammatically and in which

Figur 4 perspektivisk viser indretningen i en for bælteenderne forbundet tilstand.Figure 4 is a perspective view of the device in a condition connected to the belt ends.

i Af Figur 1 fremgår skematisk en indretning ifølge opfin- 5 delsen. Indretningen omfatter et bælte 1, hvor der ved den ene ende af dette på den ene side er anbragt midler 2, der kan bringes til at samvirke med korresponderende midler 13 (se fig. 2-4) anbragt ved den anden ende og på den modstående side af bæltet. I forbindelse med bæltet 10 findes to ved luftindblæsning oppustelige organer 3,4, ! . der fortrinsvis udgøres af gummiblærer forsynet med udlø selig énvejsventil og en overtryksventil. Overtryksventi-! len kan eventuelt kan være sammenbygget med énvejsventi len. Dette ventilarrangement er ikke vist, eftersom dette 15 er en almindeligt kendt foranstaltning. De ekspanderbare organer 3,4 er fortrinsvis fasthold i forhold til bæltet ved en sædvanlig burrelåseanordning. Dette muliggør, at disse kan forskydes sideværts, således at bæltet kan til-' passes til forskellige kropsstørrelser og kropsformer.Figure 1 schematically shows a device according to the invention. The device comprises a belt 1, at one end of which is arranged on one side means 2 which can be made to cooperate with corresponding means 13 (see Figures 2-4) arranged at the other end and on the opposite side. side of the belt. In connection with the belt 10 there are two air-inflatable means 3,4,! . which is preferably constituted by rubber bladders provided with a releasable one-way valve and an overpressure valve. Overtryksventi-! the loan may be combined with one-way valve. This valve arrangement is not shown as this is a commonly known measure. The expandable means 3,4 are preferably held relative to the belt by a conventional latch locking device. This allows them to be laterally displaced so that the belt can be adapted to different body sizes and shapes.

20 Placeringen af de ekspanderbare organer vælges i en anvendelsessituation således, at disse i en for bæltet omkring et uheldsoffers hofte/bækkenparti anbragt stilling trykker mod uheldsofferet på bækkenets bagside og fortrinsvis nær de ydre kanter af dette. Et yderligere eks-' 25 panderbart organ 5 er anbragt på bæltet med en placering, således at dette i en for bæltet på uheldsofferet monteret tilstand ligger an mod patienten centralt på bækkenets forside. To remme 6,7 er fastgjort til bæltet på et sted, som i en for bæltet på uheldsofferet anbragt posi-30 tion findes på patientens bagside. Ved de ydre frie ender af remmene 6,7 er der tilvejebragt den ene part 8,9 af en sædvanlig burrelåsemekanisme. I en for bæltet omkring uheldsofferet placeret tilstand føres remmene ind mellem uheldsofferets ben og fastgøres i forhold til korrespon-35 derende burrelåseindretninger 10,11, som i en for bæltet på uheldsofferet placeret tilstand findes på uheldsoffe- DK 172660 B1 7 rets forside. En pude 12 anbragt centralt mellem de ekspanderbare organer 3,4 tjener til at indikere den korrekte placering af indretningen for mandskabet, der skal betjene den.The location of the expandable members is selected in a use situation such that in a position of the belt around the hip / pelvic portion of an accident victim, they press against the accident victim on the back of the pelvis and preferably near the outer edges thereof. A further expandable member 5 is positioned on the belt with a location such that, in an accident-mounted condition for the belt, the patient abuts centrally on the front of the pelvis. Two belts 6,7 are attached to the belt at a location which is located in a casualty position for the belt on the patient's back. At the outer free ends of the belts 6.7, one portion 8.9 of a conventional latch locking mechanism is provided. In a condition for the belt around the casualty, the straps are inserted between the legs of the casualty and are fixed relative to the corresponding cage locking devices 10,11, which are located in the front of the casualty on the front of the casualty. A pad 12 located centrally between the expandable means 3,4 serves to indicate the correct location of the device for the crew to operate it.

5 På fig. 1A fremgår skematisk en slangeforbindelse, der forbinder det ene ekspanderbare organ 4 med en pumpeboldt 14. En sådan pumpemekanisme er almindeligt kendt og anvendes eksempelvis i forbindelse med blodtryksmåleudstyr.5 In FIG. 1A schematically shows a hose connection connecting one expandable member 4 to a pump bolt 14. Such a pumping mechanism is generally known and is used, for example, in connection with blood pressure measuring equipment.

Af fig. 4 fremgår skematisk en indretning ifølge opfindelsen i en for de to bælteender indbyrdes forbundet tilstand, hvor de samvirkende låsemekanismer 2,13 står i indbyrdes forbindelse. Låseindretningerne 8,9 på remmene 20 6,7 er i den viste tilstand ikke forbundne med de korre sponderende låseindretninger 10,11 på bæltet.In FIG. 4 schematically shows a device according to the invention in a state interconnected for the two belt ends where the cooperating locking mechanisms 2,13 are interconnected. The locking devices 8,9 on the belts 20, 6, in the condition shown, are not connected to the correct spawning locking devices 10,11 on the belt.

I den skematiske fremstilling, der er gennemgået i det forgående, er der kun angivet et ydre bæltelag, hvorpå de 25 ekspanderbare organer er anbragt. Det skal dog forstås, at der derudover kan være anbragt en yderligere polstring på indersiden af det ydre bæltelag, således at skarpe overgange mellem bælte og ekspanderbare organer undgås.In the schematic representation reviewed in the foregoing, only an outer belt layer is indicated on which the 25 expandable members are arranged. However, it should be understood that further padding may be provided on the inside of the outer belt layer so that sharp transitions between belt and expandable members are avoided.

En sådan foranstaltning er dog ikke af praktisk betydning 30 for indretningens vitale funktion og er derfor for tydelighedens skyld udeladt. Det ydre bæltelag er fortrinsvis et ikke-strækbart materiale, f.eks. et såkaldt Cordura-væv. Ved anvendelse af et ikke strækbart materiale opnås især i forbindelse med anvendelse af ventilindretninger, 35 som kun tillader oppustning til et forudbestemt tryk, at 8 DK 172660 B1 indretningen påvirker uheldsofferet med et derved bestemt tryk.However, such a measure is not of practical importance for the vital function of the device and has therefore been omitted for the sake of clarity. The outer belt layer is preferably a non-stretchable material, e.g. a so-called Cordura tissue. In particular, the use of a non-extensible material is achieved in connection with the use of valve devices 35 which only allow inflation to a predetermined pressure, that the device affects the accident victim with a thereby determined pressure.
