Abnormal state detection method and device for medical container

technical field

The present invention relates to a method and device for detecting an abnormal state of a medical container, especially a method for measuring the weight and tilt state of a medical container to judge the abnormal state of the medical container, so as to notify the medical staff in real time to come and deal with it and devices.

Background technique

At present, patients who use drip bottles, urine bags and other medical containers need to rely on medical staff to regularly or irregularly observe the amount of medicine in the drip bottle, the flow rate of the medicine, or the amount of urine in the urine bag, etc. situation.

However, the above method needs to rely on manpower to walk repeatedly to check the use status of various medical containers. This not only easily disturbs the rest of the patients, but also often makes the caregivers prone to human error due to lack of time to rest and lack of energy, which affects the quality of medical care. low.

Based on the above-mentioned deficiency, the inventor once proposed the creation of Taiwan Patent No. M446636 "urine volume measurement warning device", which mainly uses a urine measurement module to detect the urine volume of the patient's urine bag to obtain a urine volume Data, and use a control module to set an expected urine volume data, and compare the two to match the situation as a basis for an alarm to output warnings, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically monitoring the urine volume of the urine bag , instead of relying on human observation, to avoid human error in urine volume data, to achieve the function of improving diagnostic accuracy, and to avoid disturbing the rest of patients due to repeated movement of nursing staff, and to improve medical quality.

The inventor further proposed the creation of Taiwan Patent No. M445446 "Drip Flow Detection and Warning Device", which uses a weight sensor to detect the weight change of the drip bottle (bag), and then uses a processing unit to detect the detected unit time. The weight change of the medicine is converted into a flow rate. When the flow rate of the medicine in the drip is abnormal, the medical staff can be notified in real time to deal with it immediately.

The inventor further found that when the patient is in a state of physical discomfort, he often turns over, trembles, and may even fall down. If the patient is elderly or infirm, he often cannot actively notify the medical staff when such a situation occurs. There are circumstances that are unfavorable to the patient's medical treatment.
