Description

  The present invention relates to a nosocomial infection prevention tool for enabling movement without worrying about nosocomial infection when moving in a hospital during infusion.

  Conventionally, there are many opportunities to move in hospitals, such as moving from a hospital room to an examination room, moving to a counter for accounting, and moving to a waiting room for chatting with visitors. In the course of these movements, there was a risk of so-called nosocomial infections that would lead to colds and other illnesses based on contact with other patients and outpatients.

Conventionally, it has been customary to wear preventive clothing as a means for preventing such infection (see, for example, the first patent document).
However, when moving while receiving an infusion, it must move with an infusion stand (see, for example, the second patent document), and there is also an infusion tube connected to the infusion stand. It was inevitably difficult to take off and put on clothes.

  When the arm portion is exposed and the drip tube is inserted into the arm, the preventive garment cannot be worn as described above. It was assumed that there was a relatively high probability. Furthermore, the fact that the patient is receiving an intravenous drip is often caused by a decrease in physical strength. Therefore, the resistance to pathogenic bacteria is weak, and the risk of nosocomial infection is further increased.

  The present invention avoids the fear of nosocomial infection by moving the whole body including the drip stand while covering with the cover body during the movement while receiving the drip. It is intended to provide a novel nosocomial infection prevention device configured to eliminate problems.

According to the present invention, the casters 3 and 3 are provided at the lower ends of the support columns 1 and 1 which are opposed to the left and right sides with an interval enough for the patient to enter and which are taller than the patient's height. The first frame ring 4 for attaching the moving legs 2 and 2 and supporting the portion near the center of the sheet-like cover body 6 which will be described later, and a position slightly below the upper end of the support columns 1 and 1 And a second frame ring 5 for supporting the outer edge portion of the sheet-like cover body 6, and an opening / closing portion 6 b for allowing the patient to enter and exit from the rear and from above the patient's head. By covering the first frame ring 4 and the second frame ring 5 with the sheet-like cover body 6 for covering up to the height of the knee, the sheet cover body 6 is suspended over the entire circumference of the second frame ring 5. The front upward bent portion 5a is provided at the front portion of the second frame ring 5, and the rear upward bent portion 5b is provided at the rear portion thereof. According to the configuration the nosocomial infection prevention tool as respectively provided.

According to the present invention, as described in claim 2, the first frame ring 4 and the second frame ring 5 are fixed in a state of being shifted rearward with respect to the support columns 1 and 1. The nosocomial infection prevention device of the present invention is an embodiment.

  According to the present invention, as described in claim 3, the support columns 1, 1 are formed by integrally forming a single pipe member by bending it in an inverted U shape. The nosocomial infection prevention device described in any of the embodiments is used as an embodiment.

  According to the present invention, as described in claim 4, the support columns 1 and 1 are attached to the moving legs 2 and 2 so as to be adjustable in height. The nosocomial infection prevention device of the present invention is an embodiment.

  The present invention is configured as described in claim 1, that is, the casters 3 are formed at the lower ends of the support columns 1, 1 that are opposed to the left and right sides with an interval enough for a patient to enter and that are taller than the patient's height. The first frame ring 4 for attaching a moving leg 2, 2 comprising 3 and supporting the portion near the center of the sheet-like cover body 6, which will be described later, near the upper end of the column 1, 1, A second frame ring 5 for supporting the outer edge portion of the sheet-like cover body 6 is fixed at a slightly lower position, and an opening / closing portion 6b for allowing the patient to enter and exit is provided rearward and the patient's head. By covering the first frame ring 4 and the second frame ring 5 with the sheet-like cover body 6 for covering from the top to the knee height, the sheet frame cover body 6 is suspended over the entire circumference of the second frame ring 5. Since it is configured so that the patient is injured, including the infusion stand, when moving while instilling. Since the entire body is covered with the cover member 6, it is prevented well-germs to the body is attached, thereby avoiding a situation occurs like so-called nosocomial infections from occurring. At the same time, for example, when the cover body is made of an opaque material, the patient in the cover body is shielded from the eyes of the people around it, so even if it is confused with the general public, it is a kind of embarrassment based on being a drip patient. You can move without feeling.

  And since the said cover body 6 will be supported by the 1st frame ring 4 in the part near the center and the 2nd frame ring 5 in the peripheral part, the said cover body 6 will hang down in the center part. There is no such thing.

  Further, since the front upward bent portion 5a is provided in the front portion of the second frame ring 5, and the rear upward bent portion 5b is provided in the rear portion thereof, the presence of the bent portion 5b in the rear portion is When the patient enters the sheet-like cover body 6, it is prevented that the head is bumped. And presence of the bending part 5a of a front part will have the escape action which does not become a hindrance of the front part visual field of the patient who is in it. That is, when the second frame ring 5 is simply in a horizontal state, the mounting height of the second frame ring 5 is made sufficiently higher than the height of the patient so as not to disturb the patient. There must be. However, if such a form is adopted, the overall height becomes remarkable, and there is a risk of impairing the stability in movement. However, the present invention is based on the adoption of the above-described configuration. Such problems will be prevented in advance.

The present invention is configured to fix the first frame ring 4 and the second frame ring 5 in a state of being shifted rearward with respect to the columns 1, 1. Therefore, a large patient space can be taken.

  The present invention has a structure as described in claim 3, that is, as the support columns 1, 1, by using a single tube material formed integrally by bending in an inverted U shape, the manufacturing cost is reduced. It is possible to reduce the cost, facilitate the manufacturing work, and improve the strength.

  According to the present invention, the structure according to claim 4, i.e., the struts 1, 1 are attached to the moving legs 2, 2 so as to be adjustable in height. The height can be adjusted and the comfort in use can be achieved.

  The figure shows an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 1 denote support columns which are erected symmetrically, and the length thereof is higher than the height of the patient. At the same time, the opposing interval between the both struts 1 and 1 is opposed to the left and right with an interval sufficient for the patient to enter. 1a, 1a is a hanging rod attached to a required portion of the support column 1, 1 for hanging an instrument such as a drip.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the support columns 1 and 1 are integrally formed by bending a single pipe material into an inverted U shape. However, the important point is that the support columns 1 and 1 are erected side by side with a required interval, and it is not an essential requirement to form them continuously at the upper end as shown in the figure.

  Reference numerals 2 and 2 denote moving legs, and casters 3 and 3 are attached to the lower surface thereof. Reference numerals 2a and 2a denote sheath tubes standing on the upper surfaces of the moving legs 2 and 2, respectively. By inserting the lower ends of the support columns 1 and 1 slidably, The purpose is to establish a target. G is a balance weight housed in the legs 2, 2, and is attached as an adjustment for equalizing the load applied to the front and rear of the support in the legs 2, 2.

  In the embodiment shown in the drawing, as shown in FIG. 4, a predetermined number of height adjusting holes 2b are formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the sheath pipes 2a, 2a. It is configured such that the height of the support columns 1 and 1 can be adjusted by collectively pinning the arbitrary holes and the locking holes formed near the lower ends of the support columns 1 and 1. However, other suitable means may be employed for the height adjustment. In some cases, the configuration for height adjustment is omitted.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes a first frame ring for achieving the purpose of supporting the portion near the center with respect to a sheet-like cover body 6 to be described later. And the said 1st frame ring 4 is fixed in the state which was made into the horizontal form and was shifted back with respect to the upper end vicinity of the support | pillars 1 and 1. As shown in FIG.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a second frame ring which is larger than the first frame ring 4 and has a shape similar to the second frame ring 4 and is for supporting an outer edge portion of a sheet-like cover body 6 which will be described later. And the front part and the rear part of the said 2nd frame ring 5 are formed the upward bending parts 5a and 5b which jump up. Then, the second frame ring 5 is positioned near the upper end of the support columns 1 and 1 and at a position slightly below the first frame ring 4 so that it is horizontal and shifted rearward in the same manner as the first frame ring. It is set up.

  The first frame ring 4 and the second frame ring 5 are fixed in a state of being shifted rearward with respect to the columns 1 and 1 in the sheet-like cover body 6 described below and behind the columns 1 and 1. This is to form a patient space for entering the part.

  Reference numeral 6 denotes a sheet-like cover body which is attached so as to hang down in a curtain shape over the entire circumference by covering the first frame ring 4 and the second frame ring 5 described above. In addition, the said sheet-like cover body 6 is provided with the height width which covers the height from the top of the patient's head who is instilling to the height of the knee, and the state of the patient inside cannot be known from the outside. It is for doing so.

  In addition, the above-described sheet-like cover body 6 is made of an opaque material, and is preferably a material suitable for antibacterial and antiseptic treatment, such as a synthetic resin sheet material, but a cloth material, a chemical fiber material, etc. It may be of a light material such as

  A transparent material window 6a is provided so as to be positioned around the patient's eyes, and serves as a fluoroscopic window for walking. That is, the patient who is in the sheet-like cover body 6 is not seen by the surrounding people when the sheet-like cover body 6 is an opaque material, but the visual field during walking is hindered. Therefore, the patient's field of view is ensured through the transparent material window 6a. In addition, when the sheet-like cover body 6 is formed with a transparent material, the formation of such a window portion 6a is unnecessary.

  In addition, an opening / closing portion 6b is formed in the rear portion of the sheet-like cover body 6 over the entire length in the height direction so that the patient can go in and out. As shown in the figure, the opening / closing portion 6b is configured such that both end edges can be freely opened and closed (winding skirt-like configuration), or configured in a slit shape, or both ends edges of the opening / closing portion are fasteners or Appropriate forms, such as those configured to be opened and closed by snapping, are acceptable.

  By the way, although it is the front bent part 5a and the rear bent part 5b provided so as to jump up to the front part and the rear part of the second frame ring 5 described above, the bent part 5b of the rear part is a sheet. In order to prevent the patient from hitting the head when the patient enters the cover 6, the bent portion 5 a of the front portion is also a front portion of the patient in which the second frame ring 5 is present. This is to prevent the view from being hindered. That is, when the second frame ring 6 is simply in a horizontal state, the mounting height of the second frame ring 5 is made sufficiently higher than the height of the patient so as not to disturb the patient. There must be. However, when such a form is adopted, the overall height becomes remarkable, and there is a risk of hindering stability in movement. The above configuration belongs to a configuration for solving such a problem.

  The present invention is used in the state shown in FIG. And in this state, the patient is in a state where the surroundings are covered, so when moving with the drip stand, the hospital does not have to worry that neighbors cough and colds will occur. Movement within is enabled. At the same time, since the patient inside the cover body is shielded from the eyes of the surrounding people, the patient can move without feeling the kind of embarrassment of being a drip patient.

It is a side view for explanation showing the use condition of the 1st example of the present invention. It is a rear view of the present invention. It is a top view of the present invention in the state where a sheet-like cover body was omitted. FIG. 4 is a partially cutaway sectional view for explaining a height adjusting portion of the support column 1.
