Description

The present invention relates to a hyperbaric oxygen therapy device.

[Conventional technology]

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy devices are widely used today to treat cerebral thrombosis, senile dementia, burns, altitude sickness, diving sickness, and the like.

This hyperbaric oxygen therapy apparatus is used in a case where a patient is accommodated in a state of being laid down in a box, the inside of the box is maintained at a predetermined oxygen concentration, and the inside pressure of the box is raised to a predetermined pressure. In some cases, infusion treatment is performed in parallel with such hyperbaric oxygen treatment. When performing infusion treatment in parallel, an infusion bottle is suspended in the box.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, the space inside the box is kept as small as possible so that the inside of the box can be efficiently pressurized or depressurized to the atmospheric pressure within a range in which the patient's anxiety can be suppressed. Therefore, when performing hyperbaric oxygen therapy and infusion therapy in parallel, there are the following difficulties, and performing infusion therapy in parallel has not yet become widespread.

In other words, a. Since only a small drop is required for the infusion from the infusion bottle to the patient, an appropriate infusion rate cannot be obtained.

b. Since the parts necessary for infusion are packed in a narrow box, such as an infusion bottle, it is difficult to observe the falling state of the liquid in the infusion, in other words, the infusion state.

c. Even when the infusion should be interrupted during the infusion treatment, it was difficult to immediately stop the infusion because the high pressure treatment was in progress, and it was extremely difficult to actually stop the infusion.

Therefore, the present invention, when performing hyperbaric oxygen therapy and intravenous therapy in parallel, eliminates the difficulties in the intravenous therapy, facilitates and ensures parallel therapy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and intravenous therapy, It is an object of the present invention to provide a hyperbaric oxygen therapy device capable of improving the parallel therapy effect.

A drip bottle hanging rod 24 is provided inside the container body 20, and the drip bottle 3 can be hung on the rod 24.

The door 21 is provided with airtight windows 25, 25 through which the suspended bottle 3 can be easily observed from outside the container.

To hang the bottle on the bottle hanging rod 24, put the bottle into the box from the front end of the box 1, and from the box,
It can be done by inserting into 20. In hanging the bottle, the door 21 is opened, and the hand can be inserted into the container from the opened front end of the container to operate the bottle 3.

The drip bottle 3 hung on the hanger 24 is communicated to the patient P by the drip tube 26.

A trap 27 for observing a drip rate or the like is provided in the middle of the drip tube, and an airtight window 28 for observing the trap 27 is provided in the container 2.

A drip speed adjusting valve 29 is connected in the drip tube 26 in the box 1 as shown in FIG.

A pneumatically driven pinch valve 5 is provided in the box 1 at a position where it does not interfere with the patient P, and the drip tube passes through the pinch valve.

A pipe 6 for supplying compressed air to the pinch valve so as to close the valve is connected to the container 2 from the pinch valve.
It is guided inside and is connected to a pinch valve opening / closing operation cock 7 provided outside the container wall via the container wall.

The operation cock is a three-way cock, and can supply compressed air supplied from a compressed air source (not shown) to the pinch valve to close the pinch valve, or cut off the supply of compressed air from the compressed air source. The compressed air acting on the pinch valve 5 can be released to the atmosphere to open the pinch valve.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 81 denotes an observation airtight window for observing the vicinity of the face of the patient P.

The box 1 is provided with a means necessary for a known hyperbaric oxygen therapy apparatus capable of increasing the pressure to a predetermined pressure while maintaining the inside of the box at a predetermined oxygen concentration or reducing the pressure to the atmospheric pressure. ing.

According to the hyperbaric oxygen therapy apparatus, the patient P is placed on the pull-out bed 12 and laid in the box 1. After or before accommodating the patient P in the box 1, an infusion bottle 3 for infusion treatment to be performed in parallel with the hyperbaric oxygen treatment is inserted from the box 1 into the container 2,
It is hung on a bottle hanging rod 24. Then, infusion from the infusion bottle to the patient P is started. At this stage, the door 11 of the container 1 is still open, and in this open state, the drip speed adjusting valve 29 in the container 1 is operated, and the drip trap window 27 of the drip trap 27 is moved from the drip observation window 28 of the container 2.

According to this embodiment, when the patient is accommodated in the case, the drip bottle is moved to a lower position than the patient, and in order to prevent the drip liquid from flowing back to the bottle side, the drip bottle is conventionally used for safety. Although two people, a supporting worker and a worker inserting the patient into the box, were necessary, the infusion device can be set at a predetermined position before or after the patient is accommodated in the box 1, One operator can accommodate the patient in the housing and set the infusion device.

Thus, the patient P can receive intravenous therapy while receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the housing 1.

During the infusion treatment, the amount of liquid remaining in the infusion bottle can be observed from the bottle observation windows 25 and 25 of the container 2. Can be obtained by observing.

When the infusion treatment is to be interrupted during the hyperbaric oxygen treatment, by operating the cock 7 provided on the outer wall of the container,
By sending compressed air from a compressed air source (not shown) to the pinch valve 5, the drip tube 6 from the drip bottle 3 to the patient can be closed to stop the drip, and the pinch valve can be operated by operating the cock. The supply of compressed air to the pinch valve is stopped, and the compressed air is released from the pinch valve to the atmosphere, the valve is opened, and the drip can be resumed.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be implemented in various other modes.

For example, the valve 5 for opening and closing the drip tube 26 may be arranged in the container 2.

If it is safe to use in the presence of therapeutic oxygen, another valve may be used instead of the pinch valve.

Further, the opening / closing mechanism of the door 21 of the container 2 can adopt another mode as appropriate. Further, when the operation of the drip bottle in the container 2 can be easily performed from the inside of the box 1, the door 21 is not necessarily required.

〔The invention's effect〕

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the hyperbaric oxygen therapy apparatus which can perform hyperbaric oxygen therapy and infusion therapy in parallel, and can provide the apparatus which has the following advantages.

A sufficient drop can be taken from the drip bottle to the patient's drip site, and the pressure difference generated during the drip facilitates drip infusion.In addition, the drip speed adjustment range can be expanded, and in addition, the drip speed adjustment accuracy Also improve.

Compared to a conventional case in which an infusion device, particularly an infusion bottle, is installed in the case, the remaining amount of liquid in the infusion bottle can be easily observed from the bottle observation window.

Since the drip observation trap in the middle of the drip tube can be directly viewed from the drip observation window provided in the container, before increasing the pressure in the box, the drip speed adjustment valve in the box is adjusted, and the trap from the observation window is adjusted. The infusion rate can be very easily adjusted while observing the infusion state. Further, after the inside of the container is pressurized, the drip rate can be continuously observed from the observation window.
