Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical rehabilitation equipment technology, and in particular to a prone ventilation pillow for pulmonary rehabilitation patients. Background Technology

[0002] Prone positioning ventilation is a treatment method that improves lung ventilation by having the patient lie prone. It plays a crucial role in the acute treatment and pulmonary rehabilitation of critically ill patients through multiple mechanisms, including improved oxygenation, enhanced expectoration, and reduced lung injury. However, traditional prone positioning ventilation requires patients to maintain specific head, neck, chest, and abdomen positions for extended periods, which can easily lead to pressure sores, respiratory restriction, and positional slippage. Currently used support pillows often employ a single-plane structure, lacking zonal design for different body parts (head, neck, chest, abdomen), and thus failing to adapt to varying patient body shapes.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese utility model patent application number CN201720227574.1 discloses a positioning pad for prone ventilation therapy. This positioning pad is divided into a headrest, a chest and hip rest, and a leg rest, which provide support for the head, upper body, and lower legs respectively during prone ventilation therapy, thus adapting to differences in patient body shape. However, the positioning pad uses safety belts to fix the headrest, chest and hip rest, and leg rest to the patient's head, upper body, and lower legs respectively. The parts of the positioning pad that come into contact with the body remain in close contact, resulting in insufficient breathability. Prolonged use can easily lead to problems such as local skin dampness and increased temperature. In addition, although the positioning pad has grooves at the head end of the inflatable mattress for the patient to breathe through their mouth and nose, the abdomen also rises and falls during breathing. The positioning pad's close contact with the abdomen can affect the patient's breathing and reduce the effectiveness of ventilation therapy.

[0004] How to solve the above problems has become an urgent technical issue. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a breathable, ventilated pillow for lung rehabilitation patients in a prone position that can be adapted to patients of different body types.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a prone ventilation pillow for pulmonary rehabilitation patients, including a head pillow, a chest pillow, and an abdominal pillow. The head pillow and the chest pillow, as well as the chest pillow and the abdominal pillow, are detachably connected by connecting components. The abdominal pillow is provided with a height-adjustable auxiliary breathing mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the assisted breathing mechanism includes an air bladder, which is fixedly mounted on top of the abdominal cushion and is connected to an inflation / deflation device via a pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the inflation / deflation device is an inflatable balloon with an exhaust valve.

[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the airbag is provided with an anti-slip texture.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a first hook and loop fastener and a second hook and loop fastener, which are bonded together. The first hook and loop fastener is fixedly connected to one end of the head cushion or chest cushion near the abdomen cushion, and the second hook and loop fastener is fixedly connected to one end of the chest cushion or abdomen cushion near the head cushion.

[0012] Furthermore, the chest cushion includes a soft cushion body, in which several elastic ribs arranged in a wave pattern are embedded, and a mesh area is provided at one end of the cushion body near the head.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body of the cushion is made of high-resilience memory foam.

[0014] Furthermore, the headrest is provided with a recessed groove, and a perforated area is provided in the middle of the recessed groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the head cushion includes a bottom pad layer, and a gel pad layer is provided on the top surface of the bottom pad layer.

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above structure, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention provides support for the head, chest, and abdomen by incorporating head, chest, and abdominal cushions. During treatment, patients can move their bodies appropriately, preventing the cushions from remaining in constant contact with the body, thus improving breathability, reducing breathing resistance, and enhancing the effectiveness of ventilation therapy. Furthermore, the head, chest, and abdominal cushions are detachably connected via connecting components, allowing for adjustment of their positions and distances to accommodate patients of different body types. The abdominal cushion also features a height-adjustable auxiliary breathing mechanism, further adapting to patients of varying body types, particularly obese patients with excess abdominal fat.

[0018] The present invention will become clearer from the following description and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are used to explain the embodiments of the present invention. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a prone ventilation pillow for pulmonary rehabilitation patients, including a head cushion 1, a chest cushion 2, and an abdominal cushion 3, which are used to support the head, chest, and abdomen, respectively. The head cushion 1 and the chest cushion 2, as well as the chest cushion 2 and the abdominal cushion 3, are detachably connected by connecting components 4, which facilitates handling and reduces loss. The positions and distances between the head cushion 1, chest cushion 2, and abdominal cushion 3 can be adjusted to suit patients of different body types. Furthermore, the abdominal cushion 3 is equipped with a height-adjustable auxiliary breathing mechanism 5, which can assist the patient in breathing and improve ventilation. By adjusting the height of the auxiliary breathing mechanism 5, it can further adapt to patients of different body types, especially obese patients with more abdominal fat.

[0023] In this invention, the assisted breathing mechanism 5 includes an airbag 51, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the abdominal cushion 3 and connected to an inflation / deflation device 52 via a pipe. When the patient lies prone with their abdomen pressed against the airbag 51, the inflation / deflation device 52 inflates and deflates the airbag 51, adjusting its height to suit patients of different body types. This is especially beneficial for obese patients with excess abdominal fat, as lowering the inflated height of the airbag 51 improves comfort during use. Furthermore, when needed, the inflation / deflation device 52 intermittently inflates and deflates the airbag 51, causing it to repeatedly inflate and deflate, promoting diaphragmatic activity, improving ventilation efficiency, relieving respiratory muscle fatigue, and thus providing assisted breathing.

[0024] In this invention, the inflation / deflation device 52 is an inflatable balloon with an exhaust valve. Optionally, the inflatable balloon is a spindle-shaped latex balloon with one-way valves at both ends, similar to those used in cuff-type blood pressure monitors for inflation and deflation.

[0025] In this invention, the surface of the airbag 51 is provided with anti-slip texture to effectively prevent the patient from sliding.

[0026] In this utility model, the connecting component 4 includes a first hook and loop fastener 41 and a second hook and loop fastener 42, which are bonded together. The first hook and loop fastener 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the head cushion 1 or chest cushion 2 near the abdomen cushion 3, and the second hook and loop fastener 42 is fixedly connected to one end of the chest cushion 2 or abdomen cushion 3 near the head cushion 1. Specifically, the first hook and loop fastener 41 has a hook and loop surface, and the second hook and loop fastener 42 has a hook and loop surface. By changing the position of the hook and loop surfaces, the overall length of the connecting component 4 can be changed, thereby adjusting the distance between the chest cushion 2 and the head cushion 1 or the abdominal cushion 3 to accommodate patients of different body types. Optionally, there are three first hook and loop fasteners 41 and three second hook and loop fasteners 42. One second hook and loop fastener 42 is connected to the end of the chest cushion 2 near the head cushion 1, and two first hook and loop fasteners 41 are symmetrically connected to the end of the chest cushion 2 near the head cushion 1. Correspondingly, one first hook and loop fastener 41 is connected to the head cushion 1, and two second hook and loop fasteners 42 are symmetrically connected to the abdominal cushion 3.

[0027] In this invention, the chest cushion 2 includes a soft cushion body 21 that can support the patient's chest and provides high comfort. The cushion body 21 has several elastic ribs 22 arranged in a wave-like pattern, corresponding to the rib area of ​​the human body, providing good support. Furthermore, the end of the cushion body 21 near the head cushion 1 has a mesh area 23, which is a diamond-shaped perforated mesh for good breathability. Optionally, the distance between two connected elastic ribs 22 is 1-3 cm.

[0028] In this invention, the pillow body 21 is made of high-resilience memory foam.

[0029] In this invention, the head cushion 1 is provided with a recessed groove 6, and a perforated area 7 is provided in the middle of the recessed groove 6. In use, the two ends of the recessed groove 6 support the patient's forehead and chin respectively, and the patient's mouth and nose are aligned with the perforated area 7 to facilitate breathing.

[0030] In this invention, the head cushion 1 includes a bottom pad layer 11, and a gel pad layer 12 is provided on the top surface of the bottom pad layer 11. Specifically, the gel pad layer 12 is a medical-grade silicone gel layer with a thickness of 5-8 mm.

[0031] Optionally, the head pillow 1, chest pillow 2, and abdomen pillow 3 are all covered with antibacterial and breathable mesh fabric.

[0032] In use, the patient lies prone. By moving the distance between the head cushion 1, chest cushion 2, and abdominal cushion 3, and simultaneously adjusting the bonding position of the first Velcro surface 41 and the second Velcro surface 42, the head cushion 1, chest cushion 2, and abdominal cushion 3 provide support for the patient's head, chest, and abdomen, respectively, and are suitable for patients of different body types. The patient's abdomen rests on the airbag 51, and the inflation / deflation device 52 adjusts the height of the airbag 51 to further accommodate patients of different body types. Furthermore, when needed, the inflation / deflation device 52 intermittently inflates and deflates the airbag 51, repeatedly inflating and deflating it. This promotes diaphragmatic activity, improves ventilation efficiency, relieves respiratory muscle fatigue, and provides assisted breathing. The area of ​​the patient's abdomen in contact with the airbag 51 also changes with its inflation / deflation, effectively improving breathability.
