Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a person in a hospital, a nursing home, or a home who has a physical disability and is difficult to move by himself (referred to as "patient" in this specification) from a medical bed on a wheelchair. Or, it relates to a method of moving a patient to move to a simple toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wheelchairs and simple toilets for which handrails can be tilted have been put on the market for people who have difficulty walking. When using such a wheelchair or a simple toilet, the patient is placed by setting the wheelchair or a simple toilet on the side of the medical bed, tilting the handrail, and moving the patient laterally on the bed. You can transfer from a bed to a wheelchair or a simple toilet.

However, in the case of a physically handicapped patient, it is impossible to perform the above-mentioned lateral movement by itself. Therefore, the caregiver moves the patient laterally, but when the caregiver is a weak child or an elderly person, this work is not easy.

For this reason, there has been proposed an apparatus for moving a patient by installing a winch lift on the ceiling and hoisting the patient with a belt or the like.

[0005]

When a patient is hoisted by a belt or the like, there is a problem in that the hoisted patient gives an extremely strong sense of anxiety.

Further, a large amount of work is required to install the winch lift on the ceiling, and the equipment cost is extremely high.

Further, when a medical bed is installed in a general home, not in a hospital or a nursing home, it is not realistic to install a winch lift or the like.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of moving a patient in a medical bed, which has a very simple structure and can easily move the patient without giving the patient anxiety.

[0009]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following constitution.

That is, in the method for moving a patient in the medical bed according to the first aspect, at least the upper surface of the first sheet is made of a material having a small friction coefficient and is detachably fixed to the upper surface of the medical bed. , A second sheet, at least the lower surface of which is made of a material having a small coefficient of friction, is movable on the first sheet in a state where the patient is placed, and the height of the patient placing surface is equal to that of the medical bed. A method for moving a patient using a wheelchair or a simple toilet having a height substantially the same as a floor upper surface, which is installed in contact with a side surface of the bed, wherein the patient is seated on a second seat. It is characterized in that it is moved on the first seat together with the second seat, and is moved from the bed onto the wheelchair or the simple toilet.

In the method of moving a patient in the medical bed according to the second aspect of the present invention, the second sheet having a grip portion at its side portion is used.

In the method for moving a patient in the medical bed according to the third aspect, a second sheet having a hole for defecation, particularly in the center thereof, is used.

[0013]

Since the first sheet and the second sheet are in contact with each other on the surfaces having a low coefficient of friction, the second sheet easily moves on the first sheet together with the patient, and the patient is placed on the bed. It can be moved from surface to wheelchair or a simple toilet installed in contact with the side surface.

In the invention described in claim 2,
The gripper allows the caregiver to easily grip the second sheet.

Further, in the invention described in claim 3,
After the patient moves to the simple toilet, it is possible to defecate without removing the second seat.

[0016]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A patient moving method according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a medical bed 2 to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof.

In these figures, 4 is a fixed sliding cloth (first sheet) arranged on the upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2.
And 6 is a moving sliding cloth (second sheet) used on the upper surface of the fixed sliding cloth 4, as will be described later.

The fixed sliding cloth 4 has a width a which is about one fifth of the length L of the medical bed 2 in the longitudinal direction.
It is made of cloth having a length about 1.5 times the length M in the width direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, the fixed sliding cloth 4 has the holes 10 formed at both ends thereof engaged with the projections 12 provided on the side surface 14 of the medical bed 2. ,
It is removably arranged on the medical bed 2.

Therefore, when replacing the bedding or sheets of the medical bed 2, the fixed sliding cloth 4 can be easily attached and detached.

Since the fixed sliding cloth 4 is fixed on the side surface 14 of the medical bed 2, a general blanket or the like is used instead of a special blanket or sheets for fixing the fixed sliding cloth 4. Even in such a case, the fixed sliding cloth 4 can be securely fixed.

As a method of fixing the fixed sliding cloth 4,
As described above, the holes 1 formed at both ends of the fixed sliding cloth 4
0 and the convex portion 12 protruding from the side surface 14 of the medical bed 2 are engaged with each other, and flat fasteners are arranged on both end portions of the fixed sliding cloth 4 and the side surface 14 of the medical bed 2. Good. In this case, since the fixed sliding cloth can be detachably fixed only by attaching the flat fastener to the side surface of the medical bed 2 with the double-sided tape or the like, the fixed sliding cloth 4 should be installed on the normal bed. You can

The upper surface of the fixed sliding cloth 4 (the surface not contacting the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2) is made of a material having a small friction coefficient. The term "small friction coefficient" as used herein means a state in which these materials can easily slide while being in contact with each other, as described later.

The lower surface of the movable sliding cloth 6 is made of a material having a small friction coefficient like the fixed sliding cloth described above, and as shown in FIG. 4, gripping holes 16 for facilitating gripping are provided at both ends thereof. Has been drilled.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG.
Instead of the above, a grasping convex portion 18 may be provided.
In this case, since it is necessary to insert the movable sliding cloth 6 between the patient and the fixed sliding cloth 4 as described later, the grasping convex portion 18
Is provided only at one end of the moving sliding cloth 6.

The material properties required for the fixed sliding cloth 4 and the moving sliding cloth 6 are sufficient mechanical strength (tensile strength), flexibility, and the aforementioned surface having a small friction coefficient. Among these properties, the property that is essentially important for the present invention is that the coefficient of friction is small, in other words, when an object is placed on the sheet, the object is applied to the surface of the sheet with a slight force. It means that it can be moved along.

As a result of testing various sheet materials,
For example, it was found that "Tetoron Lining # 130 Tufsa" manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc. can be used.

To test the suitability of this sheet material,
As a result of measuring the force required to move the weight together with the sliding cloth on the upper side when the smooth surfaces of the sheet materials are overlapped with each other inwardly and a weight of 2 kg is placed thereon, the result is 0. It was found to be 2 kg. By simple analogy from this result, the force required to move a patient weighing 50 kg using this sheet material is only 5 k.
It means g. This is almost in agreement with the result of the experiment actually conducted using the human body.

Next, the operation of moving the patient from the medical bed 2 to the simple toilet 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.

First, in a state in which the patient 50 lies on the upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2 on which the fixed sliding cloth 4 is installed,
As shown in FIG. 7, the movable sliding cloth 6 is inserted between the buttocks of the patient 50 and the fixed sliding cloth 4.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the patient 50 is lifted up or down with the help of a caregiver.
Sit on the moving slide cloth 6.

Further, a simple toilet 20 is installed beside the medical bed 2. At this time, the sitting height of the simple toilet 20 (height of the patient mounting surface) is generally about 50 to 60 cm, and the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2 is generally about 73 cm. is there. Therefore, since the sitting height of the simple toilet 20 is considerably lower than the height of the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2, it is not easy to move the patient 50 from the floor upper surface of the medical bed 2 to the simple toilet 20.

For this reason, the simple toilet 20 is installed on a lift table 22 which can be vertically moved up and down, and by moving the lift table 22 up and down, as shown in FIG.
The height of the patient installation surface and the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2 are adjusted to be the same.

As shown in FIG. 10, the lift table 22 connects the base table 24 and the upper plate 26 with a link mechanism 28, and depresses a pedal 30 to move the upper plate 26 by a hydraulic mechanism (not shown). It is configured to move up and down. Also,
Reference numeral 32 shown in FIG. 10 is a guide plate used when the wheelchair is moved up and down by the elevator 22 and is hinged to the upper plate 26.

In the state shown in FIG. 8, the caregiver grips the grip hole 16 of the moving sliding cloth 6 and bends the patient's knee, etc., and pulls the patient 50 toward the simple toilet 20. Then, since both the upper surface of the fixed sliding cloth 4 and the lower surface of the moving sliding cloth 6 are made of a material having a small friction coefficient, the patient 50 easily moves laterally together with the moving sliding cloth 6 and the medical bed is used. It moves from the floor upper surface 8 of 2 to the patient mounting surface of the simple toilet 20.

When the patient 50 moves onto the simple toilet 20, the moving sliding cloth 6 is removed from below the patient. continue,
As shown in FIG. 9, the upper plate 26 of the lifting table 22 is lowered.

In the state shown in FIG. 9, when defecation of the patient 50 is completed, the operation of the patient 5 is reversed by the operation reverse to the above operation.
0 is moved from the simple toilet 20 onto the medical bed 2.

Incidentally, instead of the above-mentioned movable sliding cloth 6, the movable sliding cloth 62 shown in FIG. 6 can be used.
The moving sliding cloth 62 has a round hole 64 for defecation at the center thereof.
Is different from the movable sliding cloth 6 shown in FIG.

In the case of using the movable sliding cloth 62, after the patient 50 moves on the simple toilet 20, it is possible to defecate through the round hole 64 without removing the movable sliding cloth 62.

FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a case where a wheelchair 36 is installed on the side of the medical bed 2 in place of the above-mentioned simple toilet 20.

Seat height of wheelchair 36 (height of patient mounting surface)
Is generally 40 to 50 cm, and is substantially lower than the height of the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2 as in the case of the simple toilet 20 described above. Therefore, when using the wheelchair 36 shown in FIG. 11, as in the case of the simple toilet 20,
It is necessary to use the lift 22.

When the patient 50 is moved from the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2 onto the wheelchair 36, the wheelchair 36 is placed on the lift 22 and the upper plate 26 of the lift 22 is raised to lift the patient of the wheelchair 36. Placement surface and floor surface 8 of the medical bed 2
Match the height with.

Then, the caregiver grasps the movable sliding cloth 6 on which the patient 50 is placed and pulls the fixed sliding cloth 4 laterally, so that the patient 50 can be easily placed on the wheelchair 36 from the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2. Can be moved to.

In the above-described embodiment, the height of the patient placing surface of the simple toilet 20 or the wheelchair 36 and the bed 2 for medical use.
The case of using the lifting table 22 to match the height of the floor upper surface 8 of the above has been described. However, even if the medical bed 2 itself is provided with an elevator for lifting the patient mounting surface of the medical bed 2. Good.

FIG. 12 is a side view showing the medical bed 40 constructed as described above, and FIG. 13 is a front view thereof.

By setting the floor upper surface 8 as low as possible, the medical bed 40 can be suitably used without any discomfort even when the medical bed 40 is installed in a parlor or the like.

When using the medical bed 40, the height of the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 40 is lower than the sitting height of the simple toilet 20 or the wheelchair 36 (height of the patient mounting surface). Therefore, it is necessary to raise the floor upper surface of the medical bed 40.

Therefore, in this medical bed 40, as shown in FIG. 13, the link mechanism 46 is connected to the motor 44.
The patient table 4 which is driven by the user to raise the patient table 47 of the medical bed 40 while guiding the patient table 47 with the guide member 49.
The elevator 41 of FIG. In addition, reference numeral 42 in FIG. 12 is a motor for raising and lowering the patient placement table 47 via the link mechanism 48.

When the patient 50 is moved from the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 40 to the simple toilet 20 or the wheelchair 36, the simple toilet 20 or the wheelchair 36 placed on the side of the medical bed 40 is placed on the patient. Until the height of the surface matches the height of the upper surface 8 of the medical bed 40, the motor 44
And the link mechanism 46 raises the patient table 47.

Subsequently, as in the case of FIG. 7, the movable sliding cloth 6 is inserted between the buttocks of the patient 50 and the fixed sliding cloth 4.

Next, the motor 42 is driven to drive the link mechanism 4
After raising and lowering the patient placing table 47 via 8, the caregiver pulls the moving sliding cloth 6 as in the case of FIG.
The patient 50 can be easily moved from the medical bed 40 to the simple toilet 20 or the wheelchair 36.

In the above embodiments, the width a of the fixed sliding cloth 4 is about 5 of the length L of the medical bed 2 in the longitudinal direction.
Although the case where the one-half size is adopted has been described, as the width a of the fixed sliding cloth 4, a range of one-third to one-tenth of the longitudinal length L of the medical bed 2 is particularly effective. Is.

When the width a becomes larger than this range, when the patient 50 lies down on the medical bed 2 while the fixed sliding cloth 4 is installed on the floor upper surface 8 of the medical bed 2, the patient 50 is laid down.
May slip off the medical bed 2. If the width a is smaller than this range, the buttocks and the like of the patient 50 may stick out from the fixed sliding cloth 4, and the patient 50
It becomes a hindrance when moving in the horizontal direction.
