DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When it is necessary to lift the lower back of a patient at the time of defecation or the like, the burden on the caregiver is large, which may cause low back pain. In particular, in the current situation where elderly care is required, it is desirable that the method be easy for patients and easy for caregivers to reduce the burden of labor. It is also desired that the patient be able to defecate comfortably, to easily clean the local area after defecation, and to be able to spend the patient in a comfortable state without soiling the bedding.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, various methods have been proposed, which require high costs and make full use of technical skills. However, they are not practical for ordinary households and often rely on the labor of caregivers.
There is no proposal of a nursing care device that can be effectively treated by a simple method as in this patent.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The burden on the patient and the caregiver for lifting the patient's lower back during defecation is reduced.

[0004] It is possible to defecate as comfortably as possible without care of the patient, to easily clean the local area after defecation, and to allow the patient to spend a clean and comfortable state after defecation.

If the patient becomes bedridden for a long period of time and cannot move freely by himself, the patient tends to have bedsores. In order to keep the affected area healthy and clean, the patient is moved on the bed and the treatment is performed. However, the burden on both the patient and the caregiver is large as in the case of defecation. By effectively utilizing the air pillow-shaped nursing tool as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the burden on both can be reduced and the treatment of the affected part can be performed easily.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] An air pillow-shaped nursing care tool as shown in Figs. Can reduce the burden on both the patient and the caregiver.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An air pillow-shaped nursing care device as shown in FIG. 1 or 2 according to the present invention is evacuated and flattened in advance, and inserted under the waist of a patient. Air is fed into the nursing care equipment from the inlet pipe with a simple hand or foot pump, and the patient's waist is gradually lifted by the air pressure.

[0008] It is conceivable that merely lifting the lower back may cause a physiological obstacle to the patient's defecation. Therefore, if necessary, use a round air pillow-shaped nursing tool as shown in FIG. The abdomen and chest are easily lifted in a simple manner so that the body can be kept in a comfortable horizontal position.

The diameter of the round air pillow is somewhat larger than the height of the U-shaped and B-shaped air pillows.
(Reference numeral 11) is provided so that the height of the round air pillow can be freely adjusted individually.

An air check pipe, which is generally used for air pillows or air bladders, is attached to the air supply pipe so that the supplied air does not flow backward. In order to discharge the introduced air, a thin rod is inserted from the end of the air supply pipe as is generally performed.

In order to stabilize the position of the round air pillow (FIG. 3) between pillows, a pillow position stabilizing belt (reference numeral 5) is used. Be able to adjust the relative position. For attaching the belt to the air pillow, use Velcro (registered trademark) or the like.

The height at which the air is fed into the air pillows of FIGS. 1 and 2 and the waist of the patient is lifted is adjusted so that the upper end of the inserted toilet (FIG. 6) does not touch the patient's skin. Make and adjust so that the toilet does not touch the body and cause discomfort to the patient.

After air is blown into the air pillow and the body is lifted, a toilet bowl with front patch (FIG. 6) is inserted below the waist (FIG. 7).
So that defecation can be performed. At this time, defecation may leak out of the toilet and soil the bedding, etc.
On the bottom of the air pillow, there is a floor to prevent washing liquid from leaking (reference number 8).
Also, wash liquid leakage prevention walls (reference numerals 6 and 7) are provided at the front and rear ends. The toilet after defecation is treated in the same manner as a normal toilet.

When the patient has finished defecation and takes out the toilet bowl,
Next, insert the washing liquid pan (Fig. 8) below the waist,
Next, the local part is cleaned with the cleaning liquid stored in the cleaning liquid container (FIG. 9) so that the bedding and the like are not stained during the cleaning. Ensure that patients are always clean and comfortable.

FIG. 5 also shows a measure for bed sores of a long-term bedridden patient.
Insert the air pillow of Fig. 1 or 2 and lift the patient's body in the same way as for defecation, so that the direction of the patient's body and the air pillow are rotated 90 degrees as in After inserting the washing solution tray, the affected part is treated and treated so that the affected part can be kept healthy. Even when such a treatment is performed, the burden on both the patient and the caregiver can be reduced.

[0016]

The use of the care tool of the present invention can reduce the burden on both the patient and the caregiver in the treatment of defecation and bedsores by a simple method that can be adopted in ordinary households. In addition, patients will be able to have a healthy and exhilarating state after the fact.
