Body position pad for prone position operation

Abstract

The invention discloses a prone-operative-position mattress. The prone-operative-position mattress comprises a prone-position mattress body, a head cushion, a trunk cushion and lower-limb cushions. The head cushion is arranged on the prone-position mattress body, the prone-position mattress body and the lower-limb cushions are connected with the trunk cushion, lower-limb grooves are formed at joints of the trunk cushion and the lower-limb cushions respectively, and the whole prone-operative-position mattress is of a vertical centrosymmetric structure. By the prone-operative-position mattress, patients can keep their operative positions unchanged for a long time during operations, and standard arrangement of the operative positions of the patients during prone-position operations is realized; the standard arrangement is reasonably designed on the condition that features of the prone-position operations, genders, heights and weights of the patients and different pressure bearing capabilities of limbs are fully taken into consideration, so that the limbs of the patients are reasonably supported to disperse the pressure borne by the trunks and the limbs of the patients so as to protect the patients; workload and working difficulty of medical workers are lowered; operation time of the patients is indirectly shortened, complications during and after the operations are reduced, hospital stays are shortened, and hospitalization costs are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a prone position operation body position pad for operation, in particular for spinal surgery operation, and belongs to the field of medical equipment. Background technique [0002] The prone position is one of the commonly used positions in surgical treatment, especially in back and spine surgery. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of the level of spinal surgery, many diseases that could not be treated before can now be solved. The frequent occurrence of traffic accidents accompanying the economic development of the country has caused more and more spinal trauma and spinal surgery. many. Spinal surgery is mostly performed in the prone position, and a satisfactory intraoperative posture is an important measure to ensure smooth and safe surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to use different body position pads for patients of different ages, genders, and fat or thin; at the same time, some previousl...

Problems solved by technology

Difficulties in placing an indwelling endotracheal tube in the prone position for surgical patients requiring general anesthesia

The commonly used clinical method is to use the side lying position, and then put a sponge pillow, so that the endotracheal tube is easy to fall off, and it is also easy to cause neck muscle strain and even cervical spine injury

[0006] 2. Facial damage

[0007] 3. Dysfunction of the respiratory system

[0009] 5. Digestive system: Long-term surgery causes abdominal pressure to affect the normal peristaltic function of the gastrointestinal tract, which weakens the patient's digestion and absorption function. Coupled with postoperative anxiety, patients often have no desire to eat, and insufficient intake of protein, sugar, etc. , hypoproteinemia, hypoglycemia, etc., seriously affect postoperative wound healing, prolong hospital stay, and increase hospital expenses

[0011] In addition, one point that is often overlooked is that surgery is a team work, and the adjustable body position pad is heavy and complicated to use. If a patient needs to place a urinary catheter, the urinary catheter is often in a state of compression, which is not conducive to the patient's urine extraction and surgery. Measuring urine and urine; the height of the prone pad is unreasonably designed, so that the frontal face of the patient is too close to the operating table when lying prone, causing the endotracheal tube to bend and fold, affecting the patient's breathing and not conducive to the anesthesiologist's monitoring

Therefore, most of the existing body position pads only meet the needs of the surgeon, ignoring the observation and treatment of the vital signs of the patient by the anesthetist and the nurse in the operating room, which increases the workload and difficulty of the medical workers.
