Eye closure aid for patients in intensive care unit (ICU)

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of ICU nursing techniques, and particularly relates to an eye closure aid for patients in an intensive care unit (ICU). The eye closure aid comprises an eyeclosure aid outer frame of which both sides are fixedly connected with a binding belt. The adjustable eye closure aid outer frame has a rectangular hollow structure, and a silicone eye protection padis fixedly attached on the rear side edge of the adjustable eye closure aid outer frame. The hollow part of the adjustable eye closure aid frame is slidably connected with an eye closure aid togglingmechanism. The eye closure aid can help the patient to close eyes, so as to prevent accelerated moisture evaporation in eyes of the patient and damage due to dust, sands in the air and bugs entering the eyes since the eyes can not close. During wearing, the eye closure aid of the invention does not injure human skin, and is more humanistic.

Problems solved by technology

[0002] Most of the patients in the ICU intensive care unit are in a state of brain death. Most of the patients rely on infusion to maintain their basic vital signs. The patients themselves are unconscious and do not know how to cooperate, which also brings a lot of inconvenience to the care of medical staff.

[0003] The most common situation in the intensive care unit of the ICU is that the patient cannot close his eyes, which will accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the patient's eyes; when dust, sand, and flying insects in the air enter the eyes, the patient cannot remove them without consciousness, and the medical staff will not The person involved is not clear about the patient's personal feelings. The accumulation of foreign objects for a long time will cause greater damage to the eyes; and the patient lying on the bed keeps the eyes open without consciousness, which will also cause trouble to others.

[0004] In this case, the nurses generally rely on adhesive tape to assist the closure of the patient's eyes, but the adhesive needs to stick the patient's upper eyelid and lower eyelid to each other, which will cause the colloid on the adhesive tape to overflow into the patient's eyes, and will still be harmful to the patient. Eyes are injured; moreover, the method of pasting up and down to close the eyes will damage the patient's eyelashes, and when the long-term pasting needs to be torn off, it will cause greater damage to the patient's skin
