Description

  The present invention relates to an examination table used in an examination at a medical facility or the like.

  In general, when an examination (especially ultrasonic examination) is performed in a medical facility, the subject is placed on an examination table and undergoes the examination. There are various types of ultrasonic examinations such as echocardiography, abdominal echo examination, transvaginal echo examination, transabdominal echo examination, and varicose vein echo examination in obstetrics and gynecology. The inspection posture of the inspector and the person to be inspected is different for each inspection. Therefore, the shape and structure of the inspection table to be used are different depending on the inspection posture. For example, the following Patent Documents 1 to 3 are disclosed as the inspection table.

  The measuring device described in Patent Document 1 below is used for breast examination, for example, and an insertion opening is formed in the bed into which a breast of a lying subject is inserted, and the breast is compressed while compressing the breast with a compression plate. The composition of the tissue is photographed.

  The ultrasonic diagnostic bed described in the following Patent Document 2 has an L-shaped notch formed in the corner of the bed, and the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is disposed in the notch, so that the bed is laid down on the bed. The distance between the patient and the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is reduced, making it easier for doctors and technicians to inspect.

  The diagnostic table for ultrasonic diagnosis described in the following Patent Document 3 is such that a part of the patient's body is exposed, for example, by dropping a part of the upper plate on which the patient lies down, and a probe on the chest and abdomen of the patient. By hitting, it can be examined in the state where the patient is lying.

  On the other hand, in the varicose vein echo test, the test subject is seated on the test bed or test table to reduce the physical burden on the test subject. In this case, the examiner applies the probe with one hand to the lower limb of the examinee who is suspended below the examination table, and at the same time, the operation unit of the echo device installed at a position higher than the examination table is already installed. It will be operated with one hand. Accordingly, since the inspector is inspected in a posture in which the body is twisted and the body is raised, a burden is imposed on the inspector. Under such circumstances, an examination table that moves up and down in the varicose vein echo examination has been proposed. According to such an examination table, by raising the examination table, the position of the lower limb of the person to be inspected can be moved to an appropriate position according to the operation unit, and the examination can be performed.

  However, each of the inspection tables described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 has a unique use and is not suitable for other types of inspections other than the inspection intended by each inspection table. That is, the measuring device described in Patent Document 1 described above is suitable for examining breasts and the like, and the ultrasonic diagnostic bed described in Patent Document 2 described above and the ultrasonic diagnostic device described in Patent Document 3 are described. The examination table is suitable for cardiac echo and abdominal echo, but neither examination table is suitable for lower limb varices echo. Further, the examination table that moves up and down in the lower limb varicose vein echo examination can raise and lower the position of the lower limb of the examinee, but it is difficult for the examinee to stabilize the posture of the upper body.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide an examination table that can prompt the subject to take a posture suitable for the lower limb varices echo examination.

  In order to achieve the above object, an examination table according to the present invention comprises an examination table main body on which an inspected person to be examined is placed, a back side of a thigh on the edge of the examination table main body, and a lower leg And a first support portion disposed at a position at which the upper body is supported in this posture.

  The examination table according to the present invention includes a lower limb support portion that supports a lower limb to be examined, and the lower limb support portion is movable.

  The examination table according to the present invention is the first state in which the inspected person who is sitting is supported by the first support part, the second state in which the upper part of the inspected person who is lying up is raised, and the lying down state. The inspection window part which is a part of the inspection table main body part facing the person to be inspected opens and deforms to any of the third state in which a part of the body of the person to be inspected is exposed. Features.

  The inspection table according to the present invention includes a second support part that raises and supports the upper body of the person to be inspected lying on the inspection body part, and a part of the inspection table body part that faces the person to be inspected. And an opening piece that exposes a part of the body of the subject to be inspected by opening the inspection window.

  The examination table according to the present invention is characterized in that the support surface of the first support part facing the upper body of the subject is oriented in the width direction of the examination table body part.

  The examination table according to the present invention includes a lower limb support portion that supports a lower limb to be examined, and the lower limb support portion is movable. Therefore, the lower limb of the subject can be stabilized in an appropriate posture. When the examinee is seated on the examination table and the foot is not touching, the blood flow inductivity of the lower limb is deteriorated. When performing an echo test while blood flow inductivity is poor, it is difficult to check the blood flow in the affected area, and the test efficiency is low. In the varicose vein echo examination, the affected area is observed by echo from various directions and angles. Therefore, it is necessary to perform inspection not only in a state where the lower limb of the subject is suspended, but also in a state where the lower limb is extended or bent from the suspension. Therefore, when the lower limb of the subject is not in contact with the ground, the examiner restrains the angle of the lower limb with his / her finger while using the lower limb of the subject as a pedestal. Performing the inspection in the above posture places a great burden on the inspector and the inspected person. By providing the lower limb support part and making it movable, the examiner can stabilize the lower limb of the subject to be examined in an appropriate posture. Moreover, since it is not necessary for the inspector to support the lower limbs of the inspected person, the physical, mental, and hygienic burden on the inspector can be reduced.

  The examination table according to the present invention includes a first state in which a subject to be seated is supported by a first support portion, a second state in which the upper half of the subject to be laid is supported, and a subject to be laid The inspection window part, which is a part of the inspection table main body part that faces, opens, and is deformed into any of the third states in which a part of the body of the subject is exposed. With this configuration, the subject is supported in a posture suitable for various ultrasonic examinations by urging the subject to be in a posture corresponding to the three states of the first state, the second state, and the third state. Therefore, it is possible to realize multipurpose use with a single unit, especially for inspected persons such as elderly people who have a large physical load even when moving over a short distance. There is no need for assistance, improving inspection efficiency.

  The inspection table according to the present invention includes a second support portion that supports and raises the upper body of the inspected person lying on the inspection table main body, and an inspection window that is a part of the inspection table main body facing the inspected person lying And an opening piece that exposes a part of the body of the subject to be examined. With this configuration, the examinee is in a posture in which the upper body is supported by the first support portion, a posture in which the inspection window portion is opened and the abdomen or chest is exposed, and the lower leg is suspended. The posture in which the upper body is supported is encouraged. Therefore, it is possible to promote a posture suitable for various ultrasonic examinations with one unit.

  In the examination table according to the present invention, the support surface of the first support part facing the upper body of the person to be inspected is oriented in the width direction of the examination table main body part. With this configuration, the upper body is supported from the width direction of the inspection table main body in a state where the subject is sitting on the inspection table. Therefore, the examinee can easily take a posture suitable for the examination, and the posture can be stabilized.
