Description

defensive equipment

The present invention relates to a protective device, in particular, it is a protective device that provides a safe protective space and can be stored and folded for easy portability.

The nature of the invention:

In a generation with frequent natural and man-made disasters, trauma is a common phenomenon. In areas with scarce medical resources and emergency medical care, effective and correct wound care or surgical treatment is often impossible due to the lack of clean or even sterile protective space, resulting in wound deterioration and interaction. Infection can even be life-threatening. Furthermore, the spread of respiratory infectious diseases (such as SARS, MERS, COVID-19) requires safe protective equipment for testing and treatment.

In addition, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Taiwan remains high. In addition to receiving dialysis treatment for long-term resistance, kidney patients must also face various impacts of dialysis on the quality of life. During the fluid change process, peritoneal dialysis patients are easily infected with peritonitis because they do not change fluids in a closed, clean space or wear a mask. In order to avoid cross-infection to save lives for the needs of emergency care, and considering that peritoneal dialysis kidney patients can easily change fluids at home or when going out, reduce the risk of infection, and improve home care and quality of life, the inventor has undergone numerous experiments and tests. , is the result of the present invention.

Motivation for creation:

With the development of science and technology industry, the environment is full of many harmful substances, including suspended particles, microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc., dust, etc. It is pointed out in some literature that poor air quality can lead to the occurrence of diseases, while bacteria and fungi , The virus can spread through the air to the human body and cause infection, just as the world is facing the new coronavirus (COVID-19) raging. Disasters are serious, sudden and difficult-to-prevent events that result in loss of human, material, economic or environmental damage and loss of functioning of individuals, communities or societies. When a disaster occurs, the functions of medical professional organizations need to be exerted to provide medical care needs, and the system readiness of medical professional organizations is proportional to the proportion of casualties. The hospital's response to disasters should be based on "simplification" and "accessibility" as the highest guiding principles. The uncertainty of disaster makes everyone have the opportunity to be a first-line rescuer, so the principle of "simplification" and "accessible" should be extended to any environment outside the medical institution.

According to the survey, the proportion of uremic patients receiving dialysis treatment in Taiwan ranks first in the world, which brings a heavy burden to the family and society. Since 2004, the National Health Administration, the Ministry of Health and Welfare and related units have successively put forward chronic kidney disease care and prevention plans. In addition to developing strategies to delay the entry into the dialysis stage, they have also actively promoted the increase in the number of peritoneal dialysis patients. Compared with hemodialysis patients, peritoneal dialysis patients are not limited by the need to regularly visit medical institutions for dialysis, so they are more autonomous and have looser dietary restrictions, so they enjoy a higher degree of freedom in diet and travel. However, peritonitis is the most common and serious complication. According to the literature, it is found that external factors that cause peritonitis account for more than 80%, and the main cause is the contamination of the fluid exchange technology. In a further analysis, the reasons are not wearing a mask, and there are many sundries in the home environment. Therefore, it is indeed an urgent problem to improve the environment for kidney friends to change the fluid and change the fluid without wearing a mask.

Literature verification and academic basis:

1. Emergency rescue:

Since 2003, a total of three new coronaviruses have emerged and caused serious human diseases, including SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. Emerging infectious diseases are unpredictable and potentially lethal quickly, posing a major challenge to global infectious disease control. When emerging infectious diseases occur, medical staff are at high risk of infection. Therefore, infection control measures in medical institutions are essential to protect medical staff and prevent the spread of the epidemic to protect the safety of patients. The number of microorganisms in the air is one of the important risk factors for surgical site infection. Therefore, the hospital infection control inspection and hospital evaluation have clearly standardized the number of microbial colonies in the operating room air. Basic infection control measures and standard personal protection measures should be implemented for every patient caring for each patient at all times in a medical facility. For droplets and respiratory infectious diseases, when performing high-risk medical treatments, such as placing endotracheal tubes, nasopharyngeal/throat test strips, etc., medical institutions should strengthen or add additional infection control protection devices as appropriate. In addition, according to CDC statistics, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are the most common diseases caused by occupational exposure of health care workers. In order to reduce the infection caused by the exposure of blood-borne pathogens (blood-borne pathogens) to the staff of medical institutions in the process of caring for patients, and to enable medical staff to take appropriate measures immediately in the event of exposure to blood and body fluids. Handling and taking necessary protective measures is a part that cannot be ignored. In addition to hospital ownership and acute care needs, larger disasters often occur outside medical institutions, such as earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes, mountain disasters, etc. The occurrence of disasters represents huge destruction, loss of disease or death, and the government has nothing to do It is not necessary to minimize the damage at the moment of the disaster, so disaster medical treatment and disaster nursing came into being. In the scene of disaster treatment, immediate surgery and medical treatment are common and necessary. At this time, it is necessary to Seamless communication and close cooperation to maintain patient safety and life. In addition to the importance of team communication, good rescue tools and aids can avoid the infection or injury of medical staff, rescuers, and caregivers or rescuers in the process.

2. Chronic home care: Taking peritoneal dialysis peritonitis as an example:

Peritoneal dialysis is to use a permanent silicone tube implanted in the abdominal cavity to inject dialysate into the abdominal cavity, so that the metabolic waste and excess water in the blood can be removed through the peritoneum. The patient performs 3-5 daily at home. However, frequent or improper fluid changes can easily lead to an increased incidence of peritonitis. Once infected with peritonitis, antibiotic treatment is required. In severe cases, bacteremia may be caused, and the mortality rate is about 1% to 3%; repeated and severe infections may even lead to changes in the peritoneal structure and lead to peritoneal failure. Removal of the catheter affects the treatment of subsequent peritoneal dialysis, so the technique of fluid exchange has received great attention.

3. Peritoneal dialysis environment selection:

Peritoneal dialysis patients perform technical operations at home for a long time, and the dialysis environment is as important as nursing knowledge and operation skills. The literature points out that the incidence of peritonitis is significantly correlated with the patient's knowledge and skills and the dialysis environment. The fluid exchange environment in the hospital is very different from the home environment of kidney friends, including environmental sanitation, item decoration, lighting equipment, and moving lines. The cluttered environment and the lack of attention to the environmental preparation before the fluid change are one of the common problems faced by kidney patients when operating peritoneal dialysis at home. Ignoring the importance of the concept of sterility and the preparation of the environment can lead to pollution and peritonitis. Therefore, the ideal place for fluid exchange is an important part of infection control. The principle of selection should be taught. The environment must be clean, quiet, and brightly lit during fluid exchange. Try to choose a confined space without flowing air, and close the air conditioner and doors and windows; Inside, you need to close the air conditioner and windows when the car is not running or parked at the designated point, and other tourists get off the bus, and change the fluid when there is no airflow, such as other optional places such as the dining room, the infirmary in public places, but you must pay attention to closing doors and windows. In addition, the literature also pointed out that the nasal carrier is the strongest infection risk factor for peritoneal dialysis. Therefore, no matter where you choose to change the fluid, you need to wear a mask. If there are other people around, you should also wear a mask and avoid talking.

4. Health hazards of suspended particles:

Taiwan is located in a subtropical climate region, with an annual average temperature ranging from 20°C to 30°C and an average humidity of about 70% to 80%. The average temperature environment is very suitable for the growth of biological pollutants. Every winter, the northeast monsoon entrains the sand and dust from the Loess Plateau, which causes a large amount of air pollutants to drift to the island, and many substances harmful to the human body are also produced due to the development of industrialization. Among them, suspended particulates are the most significant for health damage. Suspended particulates in the outdoor environment include natural volcanic eruptions, rock weathering, forest fires and droplets from the ocean, as well as man-made motor vehicle emissions, street dust or fly ash and smoke from factories; and the sources of suspended particulates in indoor environments Mainly include smoking, building paint, construction site dust, asbestos in building materials, artificial mineral fibers, plant pollen, animal allergens, microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. Suspended particles have different forms of harm to the human body depending on their properties. Long-term and short-term exposure to air pollutants increases the risk of respiratory disease and death.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to design a protective device to assist in emergency disposal and to solve the liquid exchange environment, to create a clean, dust-free, sterile, clean and lightweight space and to improve safety.
