Stroke is a common disease in the elderly now, and stroke has serious sequelae, such as paralysis. According to clinical practice, most of the paralysis caused by stroke is hemiplegia, or one-limb paralysis, and two episodes involving bilateral limb paralysis.
Nursing paralyzed patients is a matter of physical and mental exhaustion for both family members and patients. Due to the motor and sensory disturbances of the paralyzed limbs, the local blood vessels and nerves are poorly nourished. If the compression time is long, bedsores are prone to occur. Therefore, attention should be paid to changing the body position, usually turning over once every 2 hours to improve local blood circulation, and inappropriate turning posture or turning action will cause distortion and harm to the body of the care recipient. For example, when turning over again, the back only pushes the back. , and the legs do not move, causing the body to be twisted in an S shape. The bones of the elderly are inherently fragile, and it is easy to cause lumbar sprains, which are extremely painful. This is what we often call secondary injuries. How to effectively avoid this kind of injury? When you turn over again, you need to understand that those actions will cause secondary damage.
Before the appearance of the nursing bed, turning over was completely manual. By applying force on the patient’s shoulders and back, the patient was turned over. The entire turning process was laborious, and it was easy to cause the upper body to turn over and the lower body to move, causing secondary injuries.
It was not until the emergence of the home nursing bed that a series of problems in their daily life, such as urination and defecation, personal cleaning, reading and learning, communicating with others, self-turning, self-moving, and self-activity training, were solved. The correct and scientific selection of nursing beds has a good effect on improving the nursing quality of paralyzed patients. Therefore, when choosing nursing beds, we must consider whether these phenomena exist. When turning over, the center of gravity will not be in the middle. When a person pushes to one side, it will cause crushing injury, if the turning angle is too large, it will cause a turning buckle, when turning over, only the upper body will be turned over, and the lower body will not move, causing sprains, etc. These situations will cause secondary damage to the user, which needs to be avoided in time.
