14 patents for the dignity and needs of patients in rehabilitation

Release date: 2016-11-10

Nursing patients during the day, going home to work on a patent plan, sleeping at 1 am every day, starting at 6 am, from the end of August last year to May this year, this day became the norm in nurse Yang Xiangying, and made her a "net red" . Behind the 14 national utility model patent certificates, she was concerned about the 32 patients in the rehabilitation department of the city hospital.

“Hangzhou has a nurse inventor.” This is everyone’s evaluation of her. She has been engaged in nursing work for 13 years, including 9 years in the rehabilitation department of the city hospital. During her nursing career, she deeply felt the pain of the patient's body and mind, hoping to exchange her invention for the dignity and smile of the patient.

Inspiration when caring for a 7-year-old boy

Yang Xiangying is the supervisor of the rehabilitation department of the First Hospital of the city. In addition to nursing, he also teaches work. It is a good helper for the head nurse Xu Yuehua.

"We have 32 beds in the department, 13 nurses, usually full of patients, most of them are dysfunctional patients." Yang Xiangying said that more than 80% of patients with stroke, followed by elderly patients, over 60 years old Most of them can only lie on the bed all day.

In June last year, Yang Xiangying, the backbone of the department, went to the two national rehabilitation specialist nurse training base hospitals in Jiaxing and Wuhan. During this period, she sprouted a thought, whether she could make some nursing inventions to alleviate the rehabilitation patients. The pain? In the end, how did she slap 14 patents?

"Relying on clinical nursing and knowledge accumulation. When I have problems in nursing, I will write it down. I want to solve it when I go home, eat, and go to the toilet." Yang Xiangying is also the mother of two children. She said that she was taking care of her. A 7-year-old boy triggered her inspiration.

This boy is the youngest patient in the rehabilitation department. Because the cerebral infarction has a hemiplegia on one side, he is hospitalized for rehabilitation. Hemiplegia time is long, the muscles of the upper and lower limbs are paralyzed, the shoulder joint on the hemiplegia side is prone to subluxation, and the arm will be swollen and painful. Yang Xiangying thought at the time that if an anti-biased shoulder device could be invented and the shoulder on one side would be lifted up, the incidence of shoulder-hand syndrome could be reduced.

This initial inspiration later made one of her 14 nursing invention patents.

Her invention is also patient dignity

Combining nursing experience, using rehabilitation techniques and mechanics principles, Yang Xiangying draws pictures and writes improved methods. By the Spring Festival of 2016, she had invented 11 patents and won three invention patents this year.

Yang Xiangying’s earliest invention was called “Back Cleansing Massage Device for Upper Limb Activity Disorders”. Washing the back, normal people also feel tired, not to mention the upper limb mobility disorder patients.

"Bathing is about the dignity of the patient." With this idea, Yang Xiangying designed this "bath artifact" for patients with hemiplegia and breast cancer. As long as the patient's arm can move slightly, you can use this "bath artifact" to complete the back bath. From the perspective of rehabilitation, the swing of one arm can also drive the muscles of the other arm.

In her invention, the most heart-warming is the “anti-clogging device”. This invention was because Yang Xiangying noticed the general problem of paralyzed patients. Most patients with sputum have swallowing dysfunction, and it is generally necessary to insert a stomach tube through the nasal cavity to inject fluid food. In daily care, the family members often do not grind the food carefully, resulting in blockage of the stomach tube.

"Change a stomach tube, it costs money and increases the pain of the patient. As long as a strainer is added, the food that has not been broken will not enter the stomach tube and cause blockage." Yang Xiangying is installed at the front end of the ordinary food feeder. The temperature control device of the filter. The reason for temperature control is that the food that is overheated damages the gastric mucosa. This design was inspired by the color-changing spoon used by her children.

The wish is that patents can be put into application as soon as possible.

The 14 invention patents reflect Yang Xiangying's nuances and professional understanding of nursing as a woman. Women tend to wet the bed, causing dermatitis, so she designed a female urinary device with leakage prevention, ventilation and other functions; in order to prevent pressure sores, she invented a special bed for hemiplegia patients with massage, weighing and anti-pressure sores. In order to make the towel weakened by the patient with both hands, she invented a device that dries the towel like a rotating mop. The patient only needs to press the pedal with the elbow...

After more than a year of hard work, Yang Xiangying was overcome by a single problem, in exchange for a thick stack of dark green cover patent certificates. As the backbone of the department, Yang Xiangying bluntly said, "Inventing scientific research requires knowledge accumulation, and rehabilitation medical care inventions must integrate a variety of subject knowledge. There are many things to learn, and time is really not enough."

"I didn't really think so much when I was inventing, I was only interested in nursing inventions, I wanted to learn something, and I did something for the patients." Yang suddenly became a "celebrity", Yang Xiangying was very modest, she said, applying for a patent, the biggest The desire is to see these patents really used for clinical care and benefit patients, so that the whole society can pay attention to the cause of rehabilitation.
