More Information
Summary:To provide beds that cool and dry the skin of a patient to prevent bed sores.SOLUTION: A patient support apparatus may include a support surface 120 configured to conduct air along a top face of the support surface 120 so that heat and moisture from a patient lying on the support surface 120 are drawn away from the top face of the support surface 120. An opening 124 may be formed in one side of the support surface 120. A cavity 126 may extend from the opening 124 into the support surface 120. An inlet port 146 may be positioned within the cavity 126 and fluidly coupled to the top face. A blower assembly may be configured to be positioned within the cavity 126. The blower assembly may have an outlet port 152 that couples to the inlet port 146 when the blower assembly is positioned within the cavity 126. The blower assembly may conduct air through the inlet port 146 to the top face of the support surface 120.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】褥瘡を防止するため患者の皮膚を冷却、乾燥させるベッドを提供する。【解決手段】患者支持装置には、支持面１２０を含むことができ、この支持面１２０は、支持面１２０に横たわっている患者からの熱および水分が支持面１２０の上面から除去されるように、支持面１２０の上面に沿って空気を送るように構成されている。支持面１２０の一辺に、開口部１２４を形成することができる。開口部１２４から支持面１２０の中まで、空洞１２６を設けることができる。空洞１２６内に入口ポート１４６を配置して、上面と流体的に接続することができる。送風機アセンブリを、空洞１２６内に配置されるように構成することができる。送風機アセンブリには、この送風機アセンブリが空洞１２６内にあるときに、入口ポート１４６と接続される出口ポート１５２が設けられている。送風機アセンブリは、入口ポート１４６を通る空気を支持面１２０の上面まで送ることができる。【選択図】図５
