Abstract:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an important cause of death in critically ill patients. Prone ventilation is one of the effective treatment methods for ARDS, but the current clinical implementation rate is not high, which is mainly due to the occurrence of serious complications such as tracheal tube and venous pipeline disconnection, pressure sores, hemodynamic instability and so on, and requires adequate personal and cooperation. The medical staff of the department of critical care medicine of Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University designed a kind of support bracket for human body carrying and turning over which can help the critically ill patients to easily complete the position conversion during prone position ventilation, and has obtained the national utility model patent (Patent Number: ZL 2017 2 1847759.9). The support bracket is simple in design, composed of stent, rotating shaft and bandage. It is reliable and easy to operate. It can significantly reduce the difficulty of prone position ventilation, avoid the occurrence of related complications, reduce the labor load of medical staff, and improve the treatment quality of patients.
