Abstract:
Patient position management is an important work in clinical treatment. In clinic, it is necessary to adjust the corresponding patient's position according to the characteristics of the patient's condition. The appropriate patient's position plays an important role in treating the disease, alleviating the severity of symptoms and preventing the complications in the critical patients. A medical bedside angle measuring device and medical bed was designed. The measuring device was convenient for the clinicians to read the raised angle in time, improving the working efficiency, and the structure was simple and the operation was convenient. The whole device mainly included panel, unfolding device and medical bed with bed angle measuring device on the panel. There was an angle display area, with the range of display angle was 0°to 75°, which was adjusted to the corresponding angle according to the needs of the patient's condition under usage. The angle corresponding to the horizontal measurement line was the angle of elevating the head of the bed. The newly invented medical bedside angle measuring device and the medical bed could help the clinical medical staff know the patient's position at a glance, raising the bed head accurately, and making it convenient to use. It provided a good solution for clinical application and it was worth to popularize.
