Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an emergency care mat used for carrying an emergency patient.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, hospitals, ambulances and the like are equipped with a trolley called a stretcher for laying down and carrying an emergency patient. The stretcher consists of a foldable frame and a bed with leather attached to the surface. When the stretcher is stored, the bed and the frame are separated and the frame is folded.

Further, when the stretcher is used, the frame is expanded and a bed is put on the bed, and an emergency patient is laid on the bed. However, since the frame is foldable, when the bed is placed on the expanded frame, a step is formed on the bed, and the step causes a large impact on the emergency patient when the stretcher is running. Further, since the leather attached to the surface of the bed is relatively cold, there is a problem that the leather deprives the body temperature of the emergency patient.

Therefore, conventionally, when an emergency patient is laid on a bed, a blanket is laid on the bed. In this case, the blanket softens the shock applied to the patient, and also heat-insulates the emergency patient by insulating the space between the emergency patient and the bed. Further, the blanket absorbs blood and sweat shed by the emergency patient.

[0005]

However, since the blanket used as described above needs to be kept clean, it must be washed when blood or sweat gets on the blanket, which is troublesome. There was a problem. Also, when a large amount of blood gets on the blanket, it may be discarded without washing,
Since the blanket is relatively expensive, there is a problem in that it is not economical.

On the other hand, in the case of a hairy blanket that hardly absorbs water, when a large amount of blood adheres to the blanket, the blood is not absorbed by the blanket and coagulates between the skin of the emergency patient and the blanket. as a result,
There is a problem in that the blanket adheres to the skin near the wound of the emergency patient due to the coagulated blood, and the skin near the wound is pulled by the blanket and the wound opens when the emergency patient is unloaded from the bed.

Further, in the case of a hairy blanket that easily absorbs blood and sweat, there is a problem that the absorbed blood and sweat exude from the surface of the bed side and the bed is soiled. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and a first object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive emergency care mat to make the emergency care mat disposable, and the labor of washing the emergency care mat. Is to omit.

The second purpose is to absorb blood and sweat that have penetrated into both sheets by a water absorbing member provided between the first and second sheets, and the sheet adheres to the skin of the emergency patient by the coagulated blood. To prevent this.

A third object is to provide the care mat at a lower cost by forming the first and second seats, the cushion member and the water absorbing member from a single material. The fourth purpose is
A waterproof layer provided on at least one surface of either one of the first and second sheets prevents the body fluid such as blood and sweat that has penetrated between the two sheets from seeping out from the sheet toward the bed. is there.

[0010]

In order to solve the above problems, in the invention according to claim 1, a cushion having a heat insulating property and a shock absorbing property is provided between the first and second sheets made of a pair of nonwoven fabrics. A member and a water absorbing member for absorbing water that has permeated through the sheet were provided, and at least the outer edge portions of the both sheets were joined.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the first and second seats, the cushion member and the water absorbing member are made of the same material. According to the invention of claim 3, a waterproof layer is formed on at least one surface of either one of the first and second sheets.

[0012]

That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the emergency care mat is manufactured at a lower cost than the blanket. Also, the first
The body fluid such as blood and sweat that has penetrated into the second sheet is absorbed by the water absorbing member provided between the both sheets. When body fluid such as blood or sweat adheres to the emergency care mat, the emergency care mat is discarded.

According to the invention of claim 2, in addition to the function of the invention of claim 1, the first and second seats, the cushion member and the water absorbing member are formed of a single material, and the care mat is further inexpensive. Manufactured to.

According to the third aspect of the invention, in addition to the action of the first or second aspect of the invention, the body fluid such as blood or sweat that has penetrated into the first and second sheets is provided on one side of the sheet. The waterproof layer prevents the sheet provided with the waterproof layer from seeping out.
