DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a medical table apparatus,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a medical table apparatus including a medical table and a stretcher that can be used as an obstetrics and gynecology examination table or a delivery table.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, in addition to the conventional delivery table for performing delivery in a supine position, a medical table for performing delivery in a so-called sitting position has been proposed. In this type of medical table, as shown in FIG. 11, the apparatus may be constituted by a medical table a and a stretcher b having a structure connectable to the medical table a as shown in FIG. Such a combination is collectively referred to as a medical table device).

The medical table a is provided integrally with the back plate c for supporting the waist from the head of the patient (not shown), the buttocks receiving portion d for supporting the buttocks of the patient, and the buttocks piece d. The thigh fixing piece e and the footrest f supporting the toe of the patient are configured as main parts. That is, in the medical table a, the patient sits down on the buttocks receiving part d while holding the inner side of the thigh at the thigh fixing piece e at the time of delivery,
It has been assumed that the participant takes a parturition posture while placing his toes on the footrest part f to make it more effective.

On the other hand, before delivery starts (so-called first delivery).
In, the buttocks receiving part d is removed or this part is retracted downward, and in this state, the stretcher b is connected to the position of the buttocks receiving part d. That is,
Prior to the start of labor, the patient can relax by sitting on the stretcher b and leaning against the backboard c.

[0005] Since the conventional general medical stretcher supports the whole body of a patient, the overall length of the stretcher is long and the mobility is not good. Relatedly, a stretcher in which the patient rides with his knees upright (flexed),
We have proposed a stretcher shorter in length than general medical stretchers.

[0006]

However, such a conventional medical table apparatus has the following problems, and its improvement has been desired.

(1) That is, in a conventional medical table,
The patient will take the delivery position described above at birth,
In order to make the toe work on the toe placed on the footrest, it is necessary to correctly adjust the position of the footrest in advance. For this reason, the conventional sitting delivery table is provided with such an adjustment mechanism, but there is considerable variation in the length of the patient's feet, and performing such adjustment work is a burden on doctors and nurses. Was.

(2) In the conventional medical table apparatus,
When connecting the stretcher, it is necessary to remove the buttocks receiving part or to retract the buttocks downward, which is not only complicated, but also when performing this work after childbirth, on a medical table (particularly on the buttocks receiving part). ), It was difficult to remove the buttocks receiving part.

(3) Further, in the above-described conventional stretcher having a short overall length, since the head and the toes are on the same plane, the knees are bent there and supine, so that the blood pressure of the head is reduced. Tended to rise. Therefore, such stretchers are excellent in mobility, but there is also a problem that riding comfort is not good.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and its object is to provide a doctor,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a medical table apparatus which can reduce the burden on nurses and is easy to use for patients.

[0011]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a medical table, comprising: a back plate for supporting a patient from the head to the waist from behind; and a buttock of the patient connected to the back plate. And a buttocks receiving portion for supporting the vicinity of the base of the thigh, a leg receiving portion for supporting the vicinity of the back of the patient's knee at a position in front of the buttocks receiving portion via an arm, and A tilting means for tilting the arm to approximately vertical, a turning means for turning the arm substantially vertically, a control unit for controlling the operation of the tilting means and the turning means, and a linking means for linking the buttocks receiving portion and the arm. The leg receiver is configured to move between a lower retracted position and an upper stop position at least in accordance with the turning of the arm, and the tip of the buttocks receiver is interlocked with the elevation of the leg receiver. Was configured to cause And it features.

In the medical table according to a second aspect of the present invention, the linking means releases the link from the substantially horizontal state of the buttocks receiving portion downward, and the arm alone pivots downward alone.
The buttock receiving portion is turned upward from substantially horizontal in conjunction with the upward turning of the arm.

That is, in this medical table, the patient's thigh is fixed at two places, a leg support supporting the vicinity of the patient's back of the knee and a hip support supporting the vicinity of the base of the thigh. It can be fixed more securely than a configuration in which the buttocks are fixed at one place. Therefore, the patient can be stomped on by the leg receiving portion, so that the conventional footrest portion is not required. In addition, the buttocks receiving portion can be made more compact than before.
In addition, the buttocks are raised in conjunction with the elevation of the legs, so that the thighs can be fixed stably. In addition, since the leg receiving portion can be moved to the retracted position below according to the turning of the arm, the leg receiving portion does not hinder the connection of the stretcher. Also, the linking means is
When the buttocks are lowered and the buttocks are almost horizontal, the link is released, so that the buttocks do not tilt down due to the lowering of the legs and the seated patient slips down. Not even. In the case of emergency delivery, the patient can walk from the second stage of delivery and sit on the delivery table from the front. After sitting, the leg support is raised and the knees are held down, so that the child is ready for immediate delivery, so that the labor for the patient to put a leg on the leg support can be saved.

In the medical table according to the third aspect of the present invention, when the arm is pivoted to the lowest position, the lowermost upper surface height of the buttocks support is the uppermost upper surface height of the leg support. It is characterized by being higher. With this configuration, the patient can easily get on and off the medical table even when the medical table is used as an obstetrics and gynecology examination table. That is, in the conventional delivery table or examination table, even if the leg support is lowered to the lowermost position, the lowermost upper surface of the buttocks support can be located at a position lower than the uppermost upper surface of the leg support, so that the back of the knee is the leg. You can sit on the buttocks support without touching the cradle.

The medical table according to a fourth aspect of the present invention includes a sensor for detecting an angle between the back plate and the buttocks receiving portion, and the angle detected by the sensor is a predetermined angle. When the distance is smaller, the control unit is provided with a control structure for retracting at least one of the tilting unit and the turning unit.

Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the inclination of the backboard is too tight or the height of the leg support is too high by mistake during the adjustment of the sitting posture of the patient, the backboard and the buttocks support can be used. When the angle formed by the part is smaller than the predetermined angle, at least one of the tilting means and the turning means performs the retreating operation, so that the angle between the back plate part and the buttocks receiving part becomes too narrow, and the patient takes an unnatural posture. There is no strength.

The stretcher according to the fifth aspect of the present invention includes a body support for supporting the patient from the head to the waist, and a toe when the knee is bent and the patient is supine. A stretcher provided with a foot supporting portion for supporting, wherein a height position of the foot supporting portion is set lower than a height position of the body supporting portion. Further, in the stretcher according to claim 6 of the present invention, the foot support portion includes a slide mechanism, and can be stored below the body support portion.

That is, this stretcher is a stretcher of the type in which the knees are bent and supine, in which a supporting plate portion for lying down the body is supported by a body supporting portion for supporting the patient from the head to the waist and a foot. By dividing into a foot support part and a height position of the foot support part being set lower than a height position of the body support part, the height position of the head is made higher than the height position of the toe. I do. for that reason,
According to this stretcher, a rise in blood pressure at the head is suppressed even when the patient is in the supine position, and deterioration of mood caused by a rise in blood pressure at the head is avoided. The foot support is provided with a slide mechanism that slides in the longitudinal direction and can be stored below the body support, so that when the foot support is not used, it is stored. The overall length of the stretcher can be further reduced.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided a medical table apparatus comprising the above-mentioned medical table and a stretcher connected to the medical table, wherein the stretcher supports the body. The part is divided into a main body support member and side support members located on both sides thereof, and
A slide mechanism is provided so that the side support member can be retracted in the longitudinal direction rearward of the stretcher, and when connected to the medical table, the leg support is moved up and down by retracting the side support member rearward. Characterized by being able to form a space that allows

That is, in this medical table apparatus, the stretcher connected to the medical table is divided into a main body support member and side support members on both sides of the stretcher, and the side support member is positioned rearward in the longitudinal direction of the stretcher. Since the retraction is possible, the side support member is retracted when the medical table apparatus is connected, so that the leg receiving portion of the medical table can be easily moved up and down.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the delivery table apparatus is provided with sensor means for monitoring a connection state between the delivery table and the stretcher, and the connection detection result of the sensor means is provided. The control unit disables a predetermined operation based on the control configuration.

That is, in this case, since the medical table is provided with the sensor means for monitoring the connection state with the stretcher, for example, an operation of inadvertently raising (or lowering) the medical table during the connection state is performed. In this case, disconnection can be detected in advance. Further, when such a situation is detected, the control unit executes control for disabling a predetermined operation (specifically, both or one operation of raising and lowering the medical table). This can prevent the stretcher from falling off and falling down.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a medical table apparatus according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS.

A medical table apparatus according to the present invention comprises a medical table 1 such as a sitting delivery table and a stretcher 10, similarly to the above-mentioned conventional medical table apparatus. Therefore, the medical table 1 will be described first.

A: Medical Table FIG. 1A is a plan view of a medical table 1 according to the present invention and FIG.
(B) shows a side view. The sitting position delivery table 1 is a delivery table for delivering the patient S in a so-called sitting position (see FIG. 6), and at least a back plate portion 2 that supports the patient S from the head to the waist from behind. A buttocks receiving portion 3 provided continuously on the back plate portion 2 and supporting the vicinity of the buttocks and thighs of the patient S, and a portion near the back of the knee of the patient S at a position in front of the buttocks receiving portion 3 via the arm 4 Leg support 5 for supporting
A tilting means (not shown) for tilting the back plate 2 from a horizontal position to a predetermined angle; a turning means 6 for turning the arm 4 substantially vertically; and controlling operations of the tilting means and the turning means 6. It comprises a control unit (not shown) and a linking means 7 for linking the buttocks receiving part 3 and the arm 4.

The back plate portion 2 is a backrest for supporting the patient's back from behind as described above, and is linked to tilting means (not shown) provided on the base 8 to set the horizontal position to 0. In this case, it is possible to incline from about −10 ° to a predetermined angle (see arrow x in FIG. 1). Also,
An elastic member (not shown) serving as a cushion is inserted into the back plate 2, and a synthetic resin sheet having water resistance and chemical resistance is mounted on the surface 21 thereof. In addition, as the elastic material used here, a foam material having elasticity is used, and more preferably, elasticity is slightly weak, and the elastic material is depressed according to the body shape of the patient at the sitting position. , A so-called boundless cushion is employed.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the buttocks receiving portion 3 is formed such that the tip 3a is slightly depressed as shown in FIG. 1 (a), and the left and right ends 32, 32 are located at the positions indicated by alternate long and short dash lines. Each is inclined upward at a predetermined angle (for example, about 45 °). That is, the buttocks receiving portion 3 has a shape in which the left and right ends 32, 32 are inclined upward obliquely forward with the central portion 33 as a bottom surface.
The support 3 supports the buttocks of the patient S, and the left and right ends 32 and 32 support the vicinity of the base of the thigh of the patient S.

The base 3b of the buttocks receiving portion 3 is connected to the back plate 2 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction.
The base end 3b is a front end 8 of the upper surface of the base 8.
By being disposed on the base a, the upper surface portion of the base 8 is regulated in a substantially horizontal position so that the buttocks receiving portion 3 cannot rotate downward (see FIG. 1B).

A pair of leg receivers 5 are provided on the left and right sides of the arm 4 extending from the base 8 via the arm 4 so as to correspond to both feet of the patient S. This leg receiving part 5 is
The patient S is provided independently of the buttocks receiving portion 3 and can support the vicinity of the back of the knee of the patient S, specifically, around the knee joint of the patient S from the rear. For this reason, the leg receiving portion 5 is provided with a concave depression at the center portion 5a thereof so as to be able to support the vicinity of the back of the knee of the patient S (see FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b)).

Specifically, the leg receiving portion 5 is attached and fixed such that the central portion 5a faces upward.
Further, the base end side of the arm 4 is connected to a turning member 61 described later.

The turning means 6 comprises the turning member 61 and a hydraulic cylinder 62. The turning member 61 is a substantially L-shaped member rotatable about a rotation shaft 63, one end of which is rotatably mounted coaxially with the rotation shaft 63 of the back plate portion 2, and the other end of which is described above. Arm 4
Is linked to When the hydraulic cylinder 62 moves forward and backward, the other end of the turning member 61,
That is, the arm 4 can be vertically rotated about the rotation axis. And, by the turning motion of this arm 4,
The leg receiving portion 5 can be moved up and down between a lower retreat position shown by a solid line in FIG. 4 and an upper stop position shown by a dotted line.

In the medical table 1 of the present invention,
The linking means 7 is provided on the turning member 61.
As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the linking means 7 is provided below the buttocks receiving portion 3 and protrudes from the upper surface of the turning member 61. In other words, this linking means 7 is
When the butt rises, it pushes up and supports the buttocks receiving part 3 in the horizontal position, and when it descends, the downward rotation of the buttocks receiving part 3 is regulated by the upper surface portion of the base 8-
The arm 4 is supported almost to the horizontal, and then functions to release the link with the buttocks receiving portion 3 and to pivot the arm 4 alone downward.

Therefore, in the medical table 1 of the present invention,
Due to the function of the linking means 7, the buttocks receiving part 3 rotates upward about the rotation axis (not shown) of the buttocks receiving part 3 in conjunction with the leg receiving part 5 as the leg receiving part 5 rises. Thus, the vicinity of the base of the thigh of the patient S is lifted (see FIG. 6), while the buttocks receiving portion 3 is substantially horizontal when the leg receiving portion 5 is lowered until it comes into contact with the base 8.
Then, it is stopped after that, only the leg receiving portion 5 descends and stops at a predetermined position. (See FIG. 4).

In addition to the above-described tilting means and turning means 6, the base 8 has various drives for operating the respective parts of the medical table 1 such as elevation means for changing the height position of the medical table 1 (not shown). Built-in mechanism. These drive mechanisms are electrically connected to a control unit (not shown), and can be controlled based on an operation command signal from the control unit.

Thus, in the medical table 1 configured as described above, the control unit not only outputs an operation command signal to the drive unit based on the operation of the controller connected to the control unit, but also The safety operation as described below is performed.

First, the safety operation based on the angle between the back plate 2 and the buttocks receiving portion 3 will be described. That is, the safety operation is performed by the operation of the controller described above.
The angle θ between the back plate portion 2 and the buttocks receiving portion 3 becomes too narrow due to too steep inclination (see FIG. 8) or too high a height position of the leg receiving portion 5 (see FIG. 9). This is an operation for preventing the above. In this case, the sensor means for detecting the inclination angle of the back plate 2 (that is, the operation state of the tilting means) and the turning means 6 (specifically, the operation state of the hydraulic cylinder 61) are detected in the base 8. And a detection signal from these sensor means is taken into the control unit.

The controller calculates the angle θ based on the sensor detection signals, and performs a process of comparing the calculated result with a reference angle θ0 set in advance in a control program. As a result, when the angle θ obtained by the calculation becomes smaller than the reference angle θ0, the control unit executes a process of retracting at least one of the tilting unit and the turning unit 6. That is, the leg support 5
In order to retreat, the operation command signal is output to the hydraulic cylinder 61 of the turning means 6 to lower the leg receiving portion 5 as shown by the arrow in FIG. When the back plate 2 is retracted, an operation command to lower the inclination angle of the back plate 2 as shown by an arrow in FIG. Output a signal.

As a result, the angle between the back plate 2 and the buttocks receiving portion 3 does not become smaller than a predetermined angle (reference angle θ0), so that even if the controller is erroneously operated, the patient S is not able to do so. Eliminating the posture is eliminated.

The second safety operation includes a safety operation for preventing the stretcher 10 from falling off and falling, which will be described later.

That is, since the medical table 1 according to the present invention is used in cooperation with the stretcher 10 as described later, the stretcher 10 is used similarly to the conventional medical table apparatus.
(Not shown in detail). As an example, for example, the connecting protrusion 11a (FIG. 3) is projected downward at a predetermined position below the distal end of the stretcher 10.
), A connection hole (not shown) that can be fitted to the connection protrusion is drilled facing upward on the side of the medical table 1, and the stretcher 10 is advanced to a predetermined connection position. In this state, the medical table 1 may be raised, and the connection hole may be fitted to the connection protrusion of the stretcher 10 to connect the two.

However, with such a connection method, the medical table 1 cannot be raised during the connection. Therefore, in this safe operation, for example, the connection projection 1 is inserted into the connection hole.
A sensor means (for example, a limit switch) for detecting the fitted state of 1a is provided, and the connected state of the connecting hole and the connecting projection 11a is monitored by the sensor means.
When detecting a state in which the connection between the two is likely to be released, the control unit executes a process of disabling a predetermined operation. That is, in this case, the operation of the elevating means is stopped so as not to receive the operation of the controller.

As described above, in the medical table 1 of the present invention, the control section monitors the operation of the medical table 1 based on the sensor detection signals from the various sensor means provided in each section of the medical table 1, and also performs the dangerous operation. A safety operation is performed to prevent an accident from occurring so that no accident occurs.

B: Stretcher Next, a stretcher 10 which can be connected to the above-mentioned medical table apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 7.

As shown in FIG. 7, the stretcher 10 has a body support portion 11 for supporting the patient S from the head to the waist, and a toe when the knee is bent and the patient S is supine. , A frame 13 for horizontally holding the supports 11 and 12 at a predetermined height, and a transport caster 14 as main components.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the body supporting portion 11 is formed by a main body supporting member 111 and side supporting members 112, 112 located on both sides thereof. Both are configured so that their upper surfaces are substantially flush as shown in the figure. In the present embodiment, a slide mechanism such as a slide bearing (not shown) is provided on both of the side support members 112, 112, and the slide mechanism is used to move the stretcher 10 rearward in the longitudinal direction as shown in the figure. Can be evacuated. In connection with the retreating operation of the side support member 112, the width of the main body support member 111 is set to a width that allows both feet of the patient S to be placed even when the side support member 112 is retracted as described later. Set to dimensions.

Here, the retreat range (retreat distance) of the side support member 112 allows the leg support portion 5 to move up and down in a state where the stretcher 10 is connected to the medical table 1 as described later. Set as possible. That is,
The retreat distance of the side support member 112 is relatively determined in relation to the turning radius of the leg receiving portion 5.

On the other hand, the foot support section 12 is disposed behind the foot support section 11 and its height is set lower than the height of the body support 11. This is when the knee is bent on the stretcher 10 and supine,
This is because the height position of the toe is lower than the height position of the head. Therefore, the setting of the height position of the foot support portion 12 is performed so that the height position of the body support portion 11 can be achieved. Is relatively determined in relation to

Since the height of the foot support 12 is lower than that of the body support 11, the gap at this height is used to slide the body support 11 using a slide mechanism (not shown). It can be stored in the lower part (the stored state is shown in FIG. 3 (b)). Although not shown, the foot support 12 may be configured to be folded downward and retracted.

Each of the body holding portion 11 (specifically, the main body supporting member 111 and the side supporting member 112) and the foot supporting portion 12 has an elastic member (specifically, a cushion) inside thereof. Is a bound dress cushion)
Is inserted, and a sheet made of a synthetic resin having water resistance and chemical resistance is mounted on the surface thereof, as in the case of the back plate portion 2 described above.

At a predetermined position on the distal end side (head side) of the main body supporting member 111, a connecting projection 11a used for connecting to the medical table 1 is provided as described above (FIG. 3 (a)). reference). The casters 14 are each provided with a brake mechanism 14a.

C: Medical Table Device Thus, such a medical table 1 and a stretcher 1
The cooperative action of the two is described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7.

First, the controller of the medical table 1 is operated to bring the back plate 2 to a horizontal position (or an appropriate inclined position as desired) and to retract the leg receiving portion 5 to the retracted position.
In this state, the stretcher 10 is connected to the medical table 1. At this time, when the patient S is lying on the stretcher 10, the medical table 1 is rubbed up after the connection. When the patient S can walk on his own, he / she gets on the medical table 1 after connecting the stretcher 10 and the medical table 1.

Then, when starting the delivery, FIG.
As shown in (2), both feet of the patient S are placed on the main body support member 111, and in this state, the side support members 112 of the stretcher 10 are retracted rearward. At this time, since the width dimension of the main body support member 111 is set to a width dimension on which both feet of the patient S can be placed as described above, the patient S can easily take this posture.

When the placing of both feet of the patient S is completed, the controller of the medical table 1 is operated to operate the leg receiving section 5.
At the same time, the inclination of the back plate portion 2 is increased, and the posture is changed to the sitting posture delivery (see FIG. 5). At this time, since the side support members 112 of the stretcher 10 are retracted rearward, a space A is formed between the medical table 1 and the side support members 112 to allow the leg receiving portion 5 to move up and down. As a result, the leg receiving portion 5 can be raised smoothly.
Further, with the elevation of the leg receiving portion 5, the linking means 7 pushes up the buttocks receiving portion 3, and the vicinity of the base of the thigh of the patient S is lifted upward.

When the leg receiving part 5 reaches a height position (the above-mentioned stop position) suitable for the delivery in the sitting position, the thigh of the patient S is raised as shown in FIG. The stretcher 10 is retracted by disconnecting the stretcher 10 from the stretcher 10. Then, in this state, the final adjustment of the positions of the back plate portion 2 and the leg receiving portion 5 is performed by the controller according to the situation of the patient S. 5b indicates left and right grips provided on the left and right leg receiving portions 5. When the patient at birth pulls the grip 5b toward the user, the buttocks receiving portion 3 is pulled together with the leg receiving portion 5 to facilitate delivery. Grip 5b
, The angle formed between the arm 4 and the turning member 61 about the axis 64 can also be changed.

When the childbirth is completed, the stretcher 10 is connected to the medical table 1 in a reverse procedure to that before the childbirth, and the leg receiver 5 is lowered to support both feet of the patient S with the main body of the stretcher 10. It is placed on the member 111. And
When the leg receiving part 5 is lowered to the retracted position, the side supporting members 112 of the stretcher 10 are advanced to return the body supporting part 11 to the initial state, and both feet are free.

After that, both feet are stretched with the stretcher 10.
In a posture in which the patient S has been thrown out onto the body supporter 11 (at this time, the tilting position of the back plate 2 can be set freely according to the preference of the patient S), and waits for the patient S to recover. Upon recovery, the stretcher 10 then rubs down from this state. At this time, the stretcher 10
The foot support 12 is pulled out, and the toe of the patient S is placed on the foot support 12 (see FIG. 7).

As described above, according to the medical table apparatus according to the present invention, a series of operations from the pre-delivery stage to the post-delivery stage can be performed quickly and safely, and the delivery to the patient S is less burdensome. Can be performed.

The above-described embodiment shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this, and various design changes can be made within the scope.
This medical table can be used as an obstetrics and gynecology examination table. That is, the configuration shown in FIG. 10 shows a configuration used as an obstetrics and gynecology examination table, and the lowermost upper surface height of the buttocks receiving table 3 when the arm is turned to the lowermost position is the leg. It is characterized in that it is higher than the uppermost upper surface of the cradle 5. With this configuration, the patient can easily get on and off the medical table even when the medical table is used as an obstetrics and gynecology examination table. That is, even if the leg support 5 is lowered to the lowest position, the buttocks support 3
Can be positioned lower than the uppermost upper surface of the leg cradle 5 so that the back of the knee can be seated on the buttocks cradle 3 without contacting the leg cradle 5. In FIG. 10, since the distance L between the upper surface of the buttocks cradle 3 and the lowest leg cradle 5 is provided, it is easy to get on and off.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which the projection provided on the upper surface of the revolving member 61 is used as the linking means 7, but the linking means 7 uses the arm 4 (in other words, the leg 4). Other forms can be adopted as long as the movement of the receiving part 5) and the movement of the buttocks receiving part 3 are linked.

In the above embodiment, the back plate 2
Although the case where the rotation control of the buttocks receiving portion 3 rotatably connected to the vertical direction is performed by the upper surface of the base 8, the rotation control also makes the rotation of the buttocks receiving portion 3 substantially horizontal. As long as the position can be regulated, other forms can be adopted.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the slide mechanism is used as the retracting method of the side support member 112 in the stretcher 10 has been described, but this retracting is performed by moving the leg receiving portion 5 of the medical table 1 up and down. It is sufficient that an allowable space can be formed. For example, another structure such as a structure in which the space is folded back below the side support member 112 or a method in which the side support member 112 is detachable can be used.

[0063]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention,
Various effects as described below can be obtained, the burden on doctors and nurses can be reduced, and a sitting position delivery device that can be easily used by patients can be provided.

In the medical table according to the first aspect of the present invention, the lower body of the patient is supported by the buttocks receiving portion that supports the vicinity of the base of the buttocks and thighs and the leg receiving portion that supports the vicinity of the back of the knee of the patient. Therefore, since the footrest portion unlike the conventional one is not required, the height position adjustment and the like of the footrest portion are not required, and the work load on doctors and nurses is reduced.

In the medical table according to the second aspect of the present invention, the buttocks receiving part, which is inclined upward by the linking means as the leg receiving part is raised, is lowered downward as the leg receiving part descends. In this case, since the linking means is released when the buttocks receiving part is in a substantially horizontal position, there is no fear that the seated patient slips down because the buttocks receiving part is inclined downward.

In the medical table according to the third aspect of the present invention, when the arm is pivoted to the lowermost position, the lowermost upper surface height of the buttocks support is the uppermost upper surface height of the leg support. It is characterized by being higher. With this configuration, the patient can easily get on and off the medical table even when the medical table is used as an obstetrics and gynecology examination table. That is, in the conventional delivery table or examination table, even if the leg support is lowered to the lowermost position, the lowermost upper surface of the buttocks support can be located at a position lower than the uppermost upper surface of the leg support, so that the back of the knee is the leg. You can sit on the buttocks support without touching the cradle.

In the medical table according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the angle formed between the back plate and the buttocks receiving portion is detected by the sensor means, and when this angle becomes smaller than a predetermined angle. Since at least one of the tilting means and the turning means performs the retreating operation, even if the operation is mistaken during the adjustment of the sitting posture of the patient, the angle between the back plate portion and the buttocks receiving portion does not become too narrow. In addition, the patient can be provided with a safe medical table without fear of being forced into an unreasonable posture.

Further, in the stretcher according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the height of the foot support for supporting the toes is lower than the height of the body support for supporting the patient from the head to the waist. Since it is set, even when the patient is in the supine position, the blood pressure in the head does not increase, so that the user can use the device comfortably. Moreover, in the stretcher according to the sixth aspect, since the foot supporting portion can be stored, the mobility is excellent when the patient is not transported. Also, since the foot support is hardly used at the time of connection with the medical table, this stretcher, which can reduce the overall length, is suitable for a medical table apparatus.

Further, the medical table apparatus according to claim 7 of the present invention uses a medical table in which the buttocks receiving section is more compact than the conventional medical table, and allows the leg receiving section to move up and down when connected. The use of a stretcher capable of forming the above makes it unnecessary to perform the work of removing the buttocks receiving portion as in the related art, and the work load on doctors and nurses is greatly reduced. In this case, the patient can extend both feet on the main body supporting member, so that a medical table apparatus with less burden for the patient can be provided.

The medical table apparatus according to claim 8 of the present invention provides:
The medical table is provided with sensor means for monitoring a connection state with the stretcher, and the control unit disables a predetermined operation based on a connection detection result of the sensor means. Can be avoided, and the medical table apparatus can be used safely.
