To explore the application of adhesive elastic bandage in blood oxygen saturation monitoring, we use it to wrap the spo2 sensors on fingers, palms, wrists, forearms, ankles, back of feet, toes, and more during the monitoring. During the monitoring, the various non-cooperation from children did not affect the blood oxygen saturation detection. The effect is significantly better than the traditional fixation method. It can prevent the blood oxygen probe from falling off and affect the monitoring results. It can not only alleviate the pain of children but also reduce the workload of nurses. It also reduces the anxiety and dissatisfaction of family members and promotes the harmonious development of the nurse-patient relationship.
Continuous dynamic monitoring of SpO2 has been widely used in clinics, and SpO2, as the fifth vital sign routine monitoring in pediatrics, helps nurses detect changes in the child's condition in time and guides clinical oxygen therapy. Our Children department applies spo2 to the early detection of hypoxemia in children with pneumonia and severely ill children. The timely implementation of oxygen therapy plays a good auxiliary role. The clinical manifestations have hypoxic symptoms such as shortness of breath, cyanosis, wheezing, irritability, or malaise. Intermittent monitoring is performed before and after oxygen inhalation and during oxygen inhalation. Prolong the time appropriately for severely ill children. The children are irritable, struggling, crying, or other uncooperative reactions cause the fall off and affect SpO2 monitoring. Elastic bandages are used to ensure continuous dynamic SpO2 measurement during the surgery.
The report is as follows.
The Spo2 probes used in our department are clip-type and wrist-type, which are difficult to fix and easy to fall off during use. The children are crying or struggling during the measurement leading to inaccuracy monitoring. Most patients and relatives have a great degree of curiosity and dependence on the monitor. The improper sensor fix, sensor falling off, or inaccurate measurement would make the pediatric family is more nervous, and the slightest change in the monitor will cause anxiety and panic. It is especially true for critically ill patients.
Adhesive elastic bandages are used for continuous ECG monitoring and continuous dynamic monitoring of SpO2 in children. ECG monitoring can continuously monitor the children's ECG activity to assess the children's physiology at the time status. Because children have poor self-reporting ability of their symptoms, ECG monitoring is important for critically ill children.
Children with younger age, irritability, struggle, crying, pain, fear, and other factors affect the results of SpO2 monitoring because the monitoring of spo2 also uses the same photoelectric method to measure the sensor and pulse. When Po2 in the blood is high, the blood is bright red. When Po2 is low, the blood turns dark red. The photoelectric converter has a low-pass characteristic. When light passes through the blood of different Po2, the photoelectric transducer receives the light of different frequencies. Due to the low-pass characteristics of the photoelectric transducer, the light of different frequencies has different sensitivities through the photoelectric transducer.
The adhesive elastic bandage has high elasticity, which would not restrict movement after use. The tightness will not hinder blood circulation. The permeability is good, it is comfortable and concise, and it is not easy to cause skin damage and allergies. It avoids swelling caused by blood circulation disorder of the fingertips occurs. It is firmly fixed and not easy to fall off to avoid a collision, falling off, and damage. It causes unnecessary waste. It is convenient to obtain materials, repeatable, time-saving, low in cost, and improves work quality and efficiency. It is convenient to monitor the blood oxygen saturation and prolong its life. It makes the blood oxygen saturation monitoring of the child more accurate. It can not only alleviate the suffering of children but also reduce the workload of medical staff.
