El objeto de la invención se centra consecuentemente en una entremetida con la que se consigue una fácil movilización del enfermo, para cambio de posición sobre la cama, ya sea para evitar las escaras o úlceras por presión debidas largos períodos de permanencia en una misma postura, ya sea 20 para facilitar el cambio de la ropa de cama sin extraer al enfermo de la misma.The object of the invention is consequently focused on an entanglement with which an easy mobilization of the patient is achieved, to change position on the bed, either to avoid bedsores or pressure ulcers due to long periods of permanence in the same posture, either 20 to facilitate the change of bedding without removing the sick person from it.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
2525
Co o es sabido, cuando un enfermo tiene que permanecer durante largos períodos de tiempo en cama, la presión corporal sobre ésta última, permanentemente en las mismas zonas de su cuerpo, provoca la formación de úlceras, las denominadas escaras, obviamente indeseables.As is known, when a patient has to stay for long periods of time in bed, body pressure on the latter, permanently in the same areas of his body, causes the formation of ulcers, the so-called, obviously undesirable bedsores.
3030
Tratando de obviar este problema son conocidos colchones especiales antiescaras, pero éstos sólo son aplicables a enfermos que permanecen siempre en posición de decúbito supino.Trying to obviate this problem are known mattresses special antiescaras, but these are only applicable to patients who always remain in a supine position.
Son conocidas también camas de silicona líquida, muy sotisficadas, que constituyen una solución muy compleja para conseguir la movilidad del enfermo con la consecuente repercusión económica que ello supone.Liquid silicone beds are also known, very highly sophisticated, which constitute a very complex solution to achieve the mobility of the patient with the consequent economic impact that this implies.
Esto trae consigo que en la actualidad y en la inmensa mayoría de los casos, la movilidad de este tipo de enfermos se lleve a cabo de forma totalmente natural, concretamente mediante aplicación de fuerza física, por parte del personal de enfermería, girando al enfermo, cogiéndole por los hombros y las piernas, hasta lateralizarle, colocando en los costados, según se desee, una almohada para cambiar los puntos de presión y evitar de esta manea las úlceras citadas.This brings with it that at present and in the vast majority of cases, the mobility of this type of patients is carried out in a completely natural way, specifically through the application of physical force, by the nursing staff, turning the patient, taking him by the shoulders and legs, until lateralizing him, placing on the sides, as desired, a pillow to change the pressure points and avoid the mentioned ulcers in this way.
Esto supone, además de un considerable esfuerzo físico para el citado personal de enfermería, posibles lesiones en su espalda dadas las posturas que deben adoptarse para llevar a cabo tales esfuerzos, sobre todo cuando el enfermo es de notable corpulencia.This implies, in addition to considerable physical effort for the aforementioned nursing staff, possible back injuries given the postures that must be taken to carry out such efforts, especially when the patient is of considerable corpulence.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La entremetida que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, permitiendo cambios posturales del enfermo sin prácticamente esfuerzo físico por parte del personal de enfermería, y ello con una solución estructuralmente simple y funcionalmente eficaz.The meddling that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory manner the above-mentioned problem, allowing postural changes of the patient without practically physical effort by the nursing staff, and this with a structurally simple and functionally effective solution.
Para ello y de forma más concreta dicha entremetida consiste en un cuerpo básicamente laminar, de naturaleza textil, en el que se establecen dos recámaras, lateralmente adyacentes, en su zona central, abiertas por los extremos correspondientes al eje longitudinal de la cama y definidas por tres líneas de costura longitudinales.To that end, and more specifically, this intermission consists of a basically laminar body, of a textile nature, in which two Bedrooms, laterally adjacent, in their central area, open at the ends corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the bed and defined by three longitudinal seam lines.
5 Cada una de estas recámaras se complementa con un almohada hinchable a través de la correspondiente válvula, de manera que situada la entremetida bajo el enfermo cuando se produce el inflado de una de las almohadas hinchables el incremento de volumen de la misma provoca la basculación corporal del enfermo en sentido contrario, y viceversa. 05 Each one of these bedrooms is complemented by an inflatable pillow through the corresponding valve, so that the intermission under the patient is placed when the inflation of one of the inflatable pillows occurs, the increase in the volume of the pillows causes the body to tilt. of the patient in the opposite direction, and vice versa. 0
Para el inflado de cada almohada puede utilizarse cualquier fuente de presión adecuada, como por ejemplo aire a presión, oxígeno a presión o cualquier otro gas no inflamable, de los que habitualmente están al alcance en cualquier medio hospitalario. 5Any suitable pressure source, such as pressurized air, pressurized oxygen or any other non-flammable gas, of which they are usually available in any hospital environment, can be used for inflation of each pillow. 5
De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención se ha previsto que el citado cuerpo laminar constitutivo de la entremetida, cuya cota longitudinal se ajusta sensiblemente a la zona del tronco del enfermo, esté considerablemente sobredimensionada en anchura con respecto a la anchura de o la cama, estando dotado en sus sectores extremos, los ajenos a las citadas cámaras de medios de autofijación como por ejemplo tiras adhesivas tipo "velero" o similar, que con la colaboración de las barandillas de la cama, concretamente en cada caso con la del lado contrario, permiten retener con carácter estable al enfermo primeramente en uno de los laterales de la cama y 5 seguidamente en el otro para cambiar la ropa de la misma también con suma facilidad.In accordance with another of the characteristics of the invention, it is provided that said laminar body constituting the intermittent, whose longitudinal dimension adjusts substantially to the area of the trunk of the patient, is considerably oversized in width with respect to the width of or bed, being equipped in its extreme sectors, oblivious to the aforementioned self-fixing means cameras such as "sailboat" type adhesive strips or similar, that with the collaboration of the bed railings, specifically in each case with that of the side On the contrary, they allow the patient to be held in a stable manner first on one of the sides of the bed and then on the other side to change their clothes also very easily.

5 REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN5 PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como la entremetida que la invención propone está constituida a partir de un cuerpo laminar (1), de anchura considerablemente mayor que la de la cama (2) a la o que ha de adaptarse, de manera que sus zonas extremas, en correspondencia con la propia referencia (1), cuelgan sustancialmente por los laterales de dicha cama (2), como se observa especialmente en la figura 2, cuerpo laminar provisto al menos en un amplio sector central, correspondiente a la anchura de la cama (2), de una doble pared que, con la colaboración de una línea de costura intermedia (3) y dos líneas de costura laterales (4), determinan dos 5 recámaras (5), abiertas hacia el cabecero y hacia el piecero de la cama (2) y destinadas a alojar en su seno a sendas almohadas hinchables (6) provistas de respectivas válvulas de inflado (7) a las que se acoplaran respectivas conducciones para introducción y extracción de un fluido apropiado, como por ejemplo aire, oxígeno u otro gas no inflamable procedente de cualquier fuente o de presión apropiada.In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be seen how the entanglement that the invention proposes is constituted from a laminar body (1), of a width considerably greater than that of the bed (2) to which it is to be adapted, so that its extreme zones, in correspondence with the reference itself (1), hang substantially on the sides of said bed (2), as seen especially in Figure 2, laminar body provided at least in a large central sector, corresponding to the width of the bed (2), of a double wall that, with the collaboration of a sewing line intermediate (3) and two lateral seam lines (4), determine two 5 bedrooms (5), open towards the headboard and towards the bed footrest (2) and intended to accommodate inflatable pillows (6) provided with respective inflation valves (7) to which respective conduits for the introduction and extraction of an appropriate fluid, such as air, oxygen or other non-flammable gas from any source or appropriate pressure, are coupled.
Las almohadas (6) se introducen deshinchadas en el interior de las recámaras correspondientes (5), y en tal situación apenas influyen en el contexto general de la cama, en el que la entremetida quedará situada debajo 5 del enfermo y éste preferentemente centrado sobe el eje longitudinal de la cama (2).The pillows (6) are introduced deflated inside the corresponding bedrooms (5), and in such a situation they hardly influence the general context of the bed, in which the intermission will be located under 5 of the patient and this one preferably centered on the longitudinal axis of the bed (2).
Cuando se pretende un cambio postural del enfermo, como por ejemplo un giro corporal hacia la parte izquierda de la cama, de acuerdo con o la representación de la figura 2 basta con inflar la almohada (6) del lado derecho tal como muestra dicha figura 2 para que automáticamente se produzca la basculación de su cuerpo hacia el lugar previsto. Seguidamente se procede al desinflado de dicha almohada (6) y para un cambio de posición en sentido contrario se actuará de forma análoga pero inflando la almohada del 5 otro lado.When a postural change of the patient is intended, such as a body turn towards the left side of the bed, according to or the representation of figure 2, just inflate the pillow (6) on the right side as shown in figure 2. so that the tilting of your body to the intended place automatically occurs. Then the deflated of said pillow (6) and for a change of position in the opposite direction will act in a similar way but inflating the pillow on the other side.
Las amplias expansiones extremas del cuerpo laminar (1) tienen como finalidad facilitar el cambio de la ropa de cama y tal efecto se ha previsto que dichas zonas extremas del cuerpo laminar incorporen en su cara o inferior o interna una pluralidad de tiras adhesivas (8), preferentemente de tipoThe wide end expansions of the sheet body (1) are intended to facilitate the change of the bedding and for this purpose it is provided that said end areas of the sheet body incorporate a plurality of adhesive strips (8) on its face or bottom or inner , preferably of type
"velero" o similar, de manera que durante dicha maniobra de cambio de la ropa de cama y tal como muestran las figuras 4 y 5, tras el inflado de una de las almohadas (6) el sector extremo y correspondiente del cuerpo laminar (1) se repliega sobre sí mismo abrazando a la barandilla contraria (9) de la cama, lo que supone que el enfermo quede desplazado en el contexto de dicha cama hacia la citada barandilla, a la vez que la entremetida queda levantada en la otra mitad de la cama, permitiendo actuar sobre la mitad de la ropa de cama existente en este lado, para realizar seguidamente una maniobra en sentido contrario, como la representada en la figura 5, que permite actuar fácilmente sobre la otra mitad de la ropa, para la total eliminación de la misma, procediéndose de análoga manera pero en sentido inverso durante la posterior incorporación de la ropa limpia."sailboat" or similar, so that during said maneuver of change of the bedding and as shown in figures 4 and 5, after inflation of one of the pillows (6) the end and corresponding sector of the laminar body (1) folds back on itself hugging the opposite railing (9) of the bed, which means that the patient is displaced in the context of said bed towards said railing, while the lining is raised in the other half of the bed, allowing to act on half of the existing bedding in this side, to then carry out a maneuver in the opposite direction, such as that shown in figure 5, which allows to easily act on the other half of the clothes, for the total elimination of the same, proceeding in an analogous way but in the opposite direction during the subsequent Incorporation of clean clothes.
Se consigue de esta manera, de acuerdo con el objetivo fundamental de la invención, que las manipulaciones corporales a realizar sobre el enfermo, tanto para cambio postural del mismo como para cambio de la ropa de cama se realicen con la mínima molestia para dicho enfermo y con esfuerzo también mínimo para el personal de enfermería. It is thus achieved, in accordance with the fundamental objective of the invention, that the body manipulations to be performed on the patient, both for postural change thereof and for changing the bedding are performed with the minimum discomfort for said patient and with minimal effort for the nursing staff.
