Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bag with a urine meter that is usable as a urine collecting bag with a meter capable of precisely metering timed urine in an operation room, an ICU, a CCU or the like, and usable as a simple urine collecting bag from which the urine meter is removed without communication with outside air when urine metering is unnecessary after transfer to a patient's room. SOLUTION: A connecting opening has a urine inflow opening for separating the meter and the urine collecting bag from each other. A mechanism uses a shutter to close the connecting opening of the urine collecting bag and change a withdrawn urine flow direction from the urine meter to the urine collecting bag, simultaneously with a separating operation. The urine collecting bag itself has a sideways long shape turnable over ninety degrees to change the head and bottom of the product.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a urinary catheter for measuring time urine volume and storing daily urine mainly for grasping the renal function and general condition of a patient during and after surgery. The present invention relates to a bag with a urine measuring device to be connected and used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an operating room, an ICU, a CCU, a hospital room, etc., urine management of critically ill patients, for example, urine management in patients who underwent open heart surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass or in emergency patients such as traffic accidents is extremely important. It is. A conventionally used bag with a urine measuring device is composed of a urine measuring device formed of a transparent plastic bottle with a scale and a urine storage bag formed of a soft bag. The scale of the amount of urine that flows from the patient's bladder into the urine meter through the urinary catheter and is stored is read every hour, and when the amount of urine is small, it is possible to measure the amount in detail. After the measurement, the urine in the urine measuring device is transferred to the urine storage bag to store urine for the next hour, and these operations are repeated.

There are two types of structures. The first is that a urine storage bag is arranged under a urine measuring device and connected by a connection tube provided with a three-way cock. The urine is transferred from the urine measuring device to the urine storage bag and urine is collected by switching the flow path at.
And the second place the urine meter on the front of the urine bag,
The urine is transferred to the urine storage bag by lifting the urine meter up and dropping the urine into the bag from the upper inlet, and urine collection is performed by the urine meter. This is performed by the sampling port provided at the bottom.

Operating rooms and ICs where accurate urine measurement is required
After the patient moves to the hospital room or the like via U and CCU, it is not always necessary to perform accurate urine measurement, and only urine collection will be performed as a simple urine bag. If the three-way cock is set so that urine flows into the urine storage bag, it can be used as it is as a urine storage bag.

[0005] However, when the latter type is used as it is, when the urine measuring device is used as it is, the urine overflows to the urine collecting bag after the urine measuring device has fully stored urine. There is a possibility that retrograde infection or the like may be caused by the contact of filthy old urine with splashing, and the urine transfer operation of lifting the urine measuring device by hand must be performed periodically.

For this reason, when precise weighing becomes unnecessary, the use of the urine measuring bag may be stopped and replaced with a mere urine storage bag. Could cause infection. Furthermore, in the sickroom, the height of the product is high and the bottom of the urine storage bag rubs against the floor of the sickroom in the low bed due to aging in recent years. There was also a problem that it was difficult to do.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the conventional problems as described above.
A bag with a urine measuring device that can be used as a simple urine collection bag after moving to a sickroom while ensuring the precise urine measurement required by the ICU and CCU, and that can be installed at a low height even in a low bed in a sickroom. Is provided.
