Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a prone position cushion for clinical newborns. Background Art

[0002] A neonatal prone position cushion is a cushion that can fix a neonate in a prone position, thereby helping to relieve intestinal flatulence and colic and improving ventilation in infants with NRDS. Existing neonatal prone position cushions are inflatable products, but have the following problems:

[0003] Inflatable: There is a risk of air leakage. The existing technology uses manual pressure to inflate the airbag to achieve the inflatable effect, but if the pipeline and switch valve are improperly operated or used, there will be a risk of air leakage, which may lead to failure to achieve the expected effect or even cause suffocation of the child.

[0004] Too high or too low pressure: The expected effect cannot be achieved. Each time the inflation is done manually, the inflation pressure is not easy to control, which will directly affect the effect of use: too high pressure will cause a certain resistance to the child's breathing, resulting in shallow breathing, too high pressure, reduced elasticity will also make the delicate skin of the newborn red. If the pressure is too low, the fit with the abdomen will be reduced, and the effect of prone ventilation will not be achieved.

[0005] Inflatable: No sound insulation. Sound is transmitted through air vibration, and newborns are very sensitive to sound. So when using an air cushion as a pillow, daily sounds will be transmitted into the air bag through vibration, causing sound stimulation to the newborn, thus preventing it from sleeping well.

[0006] Not suitable for clinical use: Newborns who need prone ventilation in clinical practice are mostly equipped with ventilators or umbilical vein catheters, so the cheeks and umbilicus cannot be compressed. This device is not suitable for clinical use. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a soft cushion for clinical neonates in prone position, which solves the above problems.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions: a prone position cushion for clinical newborns, comprising a head cushion, a chest cushion and a lower limb cushion, the head cushion being a C-shaped structure, and a closing structure being provided at the opening of the head cushion to adjust the diameter of the head cushion according to the size of the newborn's head, the chest cushion and the lower limb cushion being connected by a connecting structure and the distance between the two can be adjusted, a binding structure for binding the newborn's buttocks is provided in the middle of the top of the lower limb cushion, and leg supports are sewn on both sides of a section of the lower limb cushion away from the chest cushion.

[0009] Preferably, the closing structure is two first nylon buckles connected to both ends of the opening of the head cushion.

[0010] Preferably, the connection structure is provided in two groups and is disposed on both sides of the chest pad and the lower limb pad near the end, and the connection structure is two second nylon buckles respectively connected to the chest pad and the lower limb pad.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the binding structure is connected to one end of the lower limb cushion, and an umbilical vein hole for passing the umbilical vein tube is opened in the middle of the end of the binding structure, and two extension straps are provided at the other end of the binding structure to form a third nylon buckle.

[0013] Preferably, the cotton cores of the head cushion, chest cushion and lower limb cushion are respectively made of PU sponge, slow-rebound cotton and hollow cotton, and the cotton core of the leg support is also made of hollow cotton.

[0014] Beneficial Effects

[0015] The utility model provides a soft cushion for clinical newborns in prone position. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The prone position cushion for clinical newborns has a round opening on the head cushion, which can be adjusted according to the different head circumferences of newborns. It is fixed with Velcro, so that newborns can be ventilated in the prone position under the condition of endotracheal intubation. The hollow round hole can prevent the extension of the ventilator pipeline and will not cause pressure on the nose of the newborn. The connection structure is set to make the distance between the chest cushion and the lower limb cushion adjustable, and then it can be adjusted according to the different weights and heights of newborns. The binding structure can hold the buttocks of the newborn, give a certain pressure on the waist, reduce the swing range of the lower limbs, and is conducive to the fixation of the patient's body position.

[0017] 2. The prone position cushion for clinical newborns is an inverted U-shaped cushion with an angle of 15°. The head filling is PU sponge that is conducive to ventilation. When the newborn turns his head autonomously, he will not be unable to breathe smoothly due to one nostril being pressed. The strong plasticity of the sponge ensures that the skin will not be pressed red during use. The PU sponge has the characteristics of heat preservation, heat insulation, sound absorption, shock absorption, flame retardancy, anti-static and good breathability, which can reduce the impact of noise on newborns; the chest cushion is filled with slow-rebound cotton with a certain pressure. When the chest and abdomen of the newborn are in contact with the slow-rebound cotton with a certain pressure, the gas will go down along the digestive tract after encountering pressure in the abdominal wall, so that the gas can be discharged from the anus smoothly, achieving the effect of prone exhaust; the lower limb cushion corresponds to the umbilicus and lower limbs, and is filled with hollow cotton, which is fluffy and breathable. When the newborn is in a prone position, the ankles and knees are placed in this position. The raised inverted U shape and the fluffy hollow cotton prevent them from contacting the relatively hard bed surface, avoiding the risk of the skin being pressed red. By using different parts and different fillings, the following effects are achieved: the head helps ventilation, the abdominal pressure is appropriate, and the umbilical vein is not compressed in the prone position.
