Definitions

• the invention relates to an assistant for stabilizing, mobilizing and securing a patient.
• patient mobilization is part of everyday therapy applications and treatments.
• the patients In order to be able to perform the physiotherapeutic movement exercises, circulatory training and breathing training necessary for patient mobilization, the patients often have to be moved from a position in the patient bed to the sitting position.
• Particular attention should be paid to the safety of the patients since the often weakened, injured or otherwise impaired patients cannot assume a stable sitting position by their own strength.
• the patient To avoid accidents, the patient must be supported or secured in the sitting position during patient mobilization. From the edge of the bed, many patients can not only be brought into the sitting position. In many cases it is also possible that the patient can be stabilized in a standing position.
• U1 describes an alternative device for securing the sitting position of a patient sitting in the edge region of a bed, in which an essentially rectangular holding bracket can be detachably connected to the frame of the bed by means of fastening means.
• the bracket of the device is pivotally mounted on the fastening means, so that by means of a simple pivoting movement over the head of a patient sitting on the edge of the bed, the bracket can be guided up to the chest area of the patient and thus sufficiently secures the patient.
• DE 10 2011 052 839 A1 discloses a seating aid for patient beds for attachment to a bed frame, which has at least one support element which can be detachably connected to the bed frame and has a main axis and at least two arm supports arranged on the support element and at least one between the arm supports on the support element arranged backrest.
• the armrests and the backrest can be positioned independently of one another along the main axis on the support element and can be fastened to the support element with the aid of a fastening means.
• the independently positionable arrangement of the backrest and the armrests on the support element is intended to offer the possibility of individually adapting the seat aid to a patient's body size and needs.
• the positionable backrest can be attached to the support element at any desired position.
• an assistant for mobilizing patients with a support part for laying on a bed and a backrest is known, the support part comprising a first side member and a second side member offset laterally to the first side member, the backrest being a frame Construction that is connected at one end to the first and second side members, and wherein the first and / or second side members can be fixed to a bed edge of the bed.
• Bedridden patients should be mobilized into the seat as early as possible, preferably also into the stand, especially at the edge of the bed, in order to effectively promote their participation on the one hand, shorten ventilation times and accelerate the recovery of everyday functions, and on the other hand to have negative effects of early mobilization To prevent immobility such as pulmonary, dermatological, neuromuscular, psychiatric and cognitive complications.
• the assistant according to the invention is mainly designed for the admission of a seated patient, but nevertheless also enables a patient to straighten up with his help in the standing position, which happens in particular at the edge of the bed, but is not limited to the edge of the bed, but from any sitting position can happen, for example from an ordinary chair or from a toilet seat.
• the patient therefore benefits from the use of the assistant according to the invention in two ways: the above-mentioned negative effects of immobility are reduced.
• Patient mobilization that starts as early as possible has a positive and healing effect with regard to alertness and patient participation, shorter ventilation times and faster recovery of independence.
• the patient's recovery process is optimally supported by the early replaceable mobilization option. In this way, the risk of complications resulting from bedriddenness and immobility of a patient is considerably reduced.
• the assistant also relieves the nursing staff. Without an assistant, another person would have to support the patient in the assisted seat for the entire duration of the sitting. Last but not least, the time and effort saved by the staff and the expected faster patient throughput due to the shorter length of stay of the individual patient in the ward are expected to provide financial benefits for the hospital.
• an assistant which has a clear, easy-to-use construction method and can also be used in intensive care units.
• the assistant according to the invention supports the patient on all sides, insofar as this is necessary in the respective case, and at the same time allows various forms of mobilization of the patient, for example the upper body, arms, legs, shoulders, head, etc.
• the invention thus provides a technical aid to enable a patient to be mobilized on the edge of the bed.
• the assistant can therefore be used both for outpatient care and for early mobilization in intensive care units and for long-term care in nursing homes, in handicapped facilities and in home care. Even in narrow patient rooms the assistant can use the space efficiently, since the seat attached to the assistant can be comfortably positioned in a position at bed height and lying height of the patient by adjusting the height of the seat accordingly and pivoting it into the patient's position .
• the assistant helps to strengthen the musculature of the musculoskeletal system, for circulatory training, for breathing training, for pneumonia prophylaxis, i.e. i.e., to prevent pneumonia, to strengthen the perception of a patient, to change the visual environment, to train a physiologically desired sitting position, to shorten the stay in an intensive care unit or the hospital stay overall.
• the elimination of a transfer of the patient from the bed due to a multitude of movement processes and the presence of supports and seat belts improve the patient's safety.
• the mobilization of people in need of very long-term care is also made possible. Thanks to the stepless adjustment of the backrest, a comfortable sitting position is achieved.
• the individual adaptability to the anatomical conditions of the patient ensures the best possible usability for all patients.
• the workload of the nursing staff is greatly reduced. Because there is no transfer from the bed, the occurrence of dislocations of the venous access, drainage, tubes and other leads is reduced.
• the assistant has a torque support, which is arranged substantially below the seat and is connected or connectable to the rolling frame, for example in the form of a further arm, which is arranged at least essentially below the support arm.
