Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radiological examination technology, specifically to an adjustable positioning bed for pediatric radiological examinations. Background Technology

[0002] As an important auxiliary examination department in hospitals, the radiology department plays a crucial role in disease diagnosis and treatment. In pediatric radiological examinations, young children often experience limb movement and postural deviations due to their limited mobility and fear of unfamiliar environments, directly affecting image quality and diagnostic accuracy. Statistics show that approximately 30% of pediatric X-ray examinations require repeat imaging, which not only increases the risk of radiation exposure but also wastes medical resources.

[0003] Traditional fixation devices have significant drawbacks in clinical radiological examinations: The fixation methods are limited: most methods use rigid restraint straps or fixation plates, which can easily cause resistance in young children. Limb movements can lead to postural deviations, blurry examination images requiring re-examination, and repeated examinations increase radiation dose. At the same time, young children have flexible bones and a wide range of joint mobility, and traditional rigid fixation plates (such as metal braces) can easily compress the chest or limbs, restrict natural breathing or cause pain, resulting in a high rate of examination interruption.

[0004] Insufficient adaptability: It lacks modular design for different age groups (0-8 years old), cannot meet the fixed needs of differences in height and weight, requires additional operation by medical staff, and increases the examination time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable pediatric radiological examination positioning bed to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an adjustable pediatric radiological examination positioning bed, comprising a bed frame, wherein the bed frame is used to place on a radiological scanning device to support the pediatrician lying flat; The neck support belt and waist support belt are provided. The neck support belt is laid on the neck and shoulders of the child, and the waist support belt is laid on the waist of the child. Both sides of the neck support belt and waist support belt are sewn with binding straps, which are detachably connected to the long side wall of the bed. The neck brace and waist brace are each connected to a restraint pad on one side away from each other. The restraint pad connected to the neck brace is used to restrain the upper limbs of the child, and the restraint pad connected to the bottom of the waist brace is used to restrain the lower limbs of the child.

[0007] In a further embodiment, the restraint pad is divided into restraint pad one and restraint pad two. One long side wall of restraint pad one is laid on one long side wall of restraint pad two, and the two short side walls of restraint pad one and restraint pad two are sewn together.

An insertion hole is provided at the intersection of the first binding pad and the second binding strap. After the fastening strap passes through the insertion hole, it is pulled in the opposite direction and adhered to itself by Velcro.

[0008] In a further embodiment, an interlocking gap is left between two adjacent fastening straps. One of the through-slits on the restraint pad connected to the neck brace is for hand extension; One of the through-slits on the restraint pad connected to the waist belt is for foot extension.

[0009] In a further embodiment, binding straps are sewn onto the same end of both binding pad one and binding pad two, and multiple loop holes are provided on both binding straps one and binding strap two. The bed body has downwardly sloping limiting surfaces on all four sides. Multiple plugs arranged in a straight line are fixed on the limiting surfaces. The plugs are distributed perpendicular to the limiting surfaces. The holes on the binding strap one and binding strap two can fit onto the outer wall of the plug on the corresponding side.

[0010] In a further embodiment, a crotch extension extends from one long side wall of the waist belt.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the neck strap has an arc-shaped notch on one long side wall for placement on the child's neck.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the restraint pad connected to the neck strap is sewn with a cover pad that can be folded over to cover the hand extending out of the interlocking gap.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the covering pad is also connected to a connecting rope, the end of which is connected to a hand-held airbag bulb.

[0014] In a further embodiment, a chest protection pad is also included, which is used to cover the chest and abdomen of the child, and the two ends of the chest protection pad are detachably connected to a neck brace and a waist brace, respectively.

[0015] In a further embodiment, rollers are rotatably provided at the four corners of the bottom of the bed; A door-shaped handle is slidably inserted into one of the short side walls of the bed. Both ends of the door-shaped handle extend to the bottom of the bed and are fixedly connected with rubber anti-slip pads.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention is an adjustable positioning bed for pediatric radiological examinations. It is designed for children of different ages and features a structure that can restrain their arms and legs while providing radiation protection. It does not cause severe marks, discomfort, or pain to the child's limbs, ensuring that the child lies stably on the bed to receive radiological scans.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] This embodiment provides an adjustable positioning bed for pediatric radiological examinations, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the device includes a bed frame 6, which is used to support a child lying flat on a radiographic scanning device. Rollers 62 are rotatably mounted at the four corners of the bottom of the bed frame 6. These rollers 62 allow for easy lateral sliding adjustment of the bed frame 6's position on the radiographic scanning device, thus adjusting the child's examination position relative to the scanning device and preventing other parts of the body from being scanned, thus avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure. A door-shaped handle 61 is slidably inserted into one of the short side walls of the bed frame 6. Both ends of the door-shaped handle 61 extend below the bed frame 6 and are fixedly connected to rubber anti-slip pads. Lifting the door-shaped handle 61 raises the rubber anti-slip pads, and lateral force pushes the rollers 62 at the bottom of the bed frame 6 to roll laterally. After adjusting the position of the bed frame 6, releasing the lifted door-shaped handle 61 allows the rubber anti-slip pads to fall onto the radiographic scanning device, where their own friction prevents the rollers 62 from sliding laterally.

[0021] After the infant lies supine on the bed, to prevent him from moving his limbs, his upper and lower limbs need to be restrained to avoid artifacts caused by large-scale limb movements, which would lead to inaccurate X-ray scan results.

[0022] Therefore, this embodiment also discloses a neck support belt 1 and a waist support belt 2, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the neck protector 1 is placed around the child's neck and shoulders, and the waist protector 2 is placed around the child's waist. The neck protector 1 has a rounded notch on one long side wall, designed to conform to the curve of the child's neck and avoid compressing the trachea. The waist protector 2 also has a crotch extension 21 extending from one long side wall, used to cover the perineum and prevent the gonads from being exposed to radiation.

[0023] Meanwhile, the neck brace 1 and the waist brace 2 are each connected to a restraint pad on one side away from each other. The restraint pad connected to the neck brace 1 is used to restrain the upper limbs of the child, and the restraint pad connected to the bottom of the waist brace 2 is used to restrain the lower limbs of the child.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the restraint pad consists of restraint pad one (3) and restraint pad two (31). One long sidewall of restraint pad one (3) is laid on one long sidewall of restraint pad two (31), and the short sidewalls of restraint pad one (3) and restraint pad two (31) are sewn together. The long sidewalls of restraint pad one (3) and restraint pad two (31) partially overlap, and the short sidewalls are sewn together with high-strength stitches to enhance tensile strength. Multiple fastening straps (33) are sewn onto restraint pad two (31) at the intersections with restraint pad one (3). Insertion holes are provided at the intersections of restraint pad one (3) and restraint strap two (31). After passing through the insertion holes, the fastening straps (33) are pulled in the opposite direction and adhered to themselves via Velcro. An insertion gap is left between adjacent fastening straps (33).

[0025] Restraint pad 1 (3) and restraint pad 2 (31) are stacked crosswise. The fastening strap 33 passes through the interlocking holes and is pulled in the opposite direction to form an adjustable closed loop. The interlocking gap width is 3-5cm, suitable for the size of a child's limbs. Here, one of the interlocking gaps on the restraint pad connected to the neck brace 1 is used for hand extension. One of the interlocking gaps on the restraint pad connected to the waist brace 2 is used for foot extension, achieving a restraining yet not rigid fixation effect.

[0026] Next, the positions of restraint pad 3 and restraint pad 31 need to be fixed to prevent the child's limbs from swinging excessively. Here, for example... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, binding strap 32 is sewn onto the same end of binding pad 3 and binding pad 31. Binding strap 5 is sewn onto both sides of neck brace 1 and waist brace 2. Binding strap 32 and binding strap 5 are provided with multiple sleeve holes. The four sides of the bed 6 are provided with inclined limiting slopes. Multiple plugs 63 are fixed on the limiting slopes in a straight line. The plugs 63 are distributed perpendicular to the limiting slopes. The sleeve holes on binding strap 32 and binding strap 5 can be fitted onto the outer wall of the plug 63 on the corresponding side.

[0027] Both the first binding strap 32 and the second binding strap 5 have 3-5 holes with a spacing of 2cm to accommodate children of different sizes. The long side wall of the bed frame 6 has two rows of downward-sloping limiting slopes at an angle of 15°. When binding, the holes are inserted into the corresponding plugs 63, and the angle of the limiting slopes prevents the holes from slipping, achieving quick fixation.

[0028] For upper limb restraint of young children: When laying the neck brace 1, place it above the child's shoulder. Connect the second binding strap 5 to the plug 63 on the long side wall of the bed 6 through the loop. Adjust the tightness so that one or two fingers can be inserted. Then, based on the length of the child's arm, select a gap closest to the wrist for hand extension, placing it on the upper side of the restraint pad. Tighten the fastening strap 33 at this position and attach it to the body using Velcro to ensure the gap is large enough for hand extension while avoiding excessive looseness that would cause the child's hand to retract from the gap, resulting in unnecessary radiation exposure. Then, the loop of the first binding strap 32 is fitted onto the outer wall of the plug 63 on the corresponding short side wall of the bed 6, thus restricting the position of the restraint pad and restraining the child's upper limb. This upper limb restraint method meets the requirement of raising both hands during the examination.

[0029] At the same time, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, a cover pad 4 is sewn to the end of the restraint pad connected to the neck brace 1. The cover pad 4 can be folded over to cover the hand extending out of the interlocking gap. The cover pad 4 is attached to the side of the restraint pad with Velcro. A connecting rope is also attached to the cover pad 4, and the end of the connecting rope is connected to a hand-holding airbag 41. On the restraint pad connected to the neck brace 1, the interlocking gap near the thumb side is selected as the hand exit. After the cover pad 4 is folded over to cover the hand, the child's fingers grasp the hand-holding airbag 41 to distract attention and reduce anxiety.

[0030] For lower limb restraint of young children: First, lay down the waist support belt 2, using the extended crotch section 21 to cover the perineal area of ​​the child, forcefully protecting the child's gonads from radiation. The binding strap 2 5 of the waist support belt 2 is fixed in the same way, i.e., the binding strap 2 5 is connected to the plug 63 on the long side wall of the bed frame 6 through the loop, adjusting the tightness to allow insertion of 1-2 fingers. Then, based on the length of the child's lower limbs, select a gap closest to the ankle for the foot to extend, placing it on the upper side of the restraint pad. Tighten the fastening strap 33 at this position and attach it to the body using Velcro, ensuring the gap is large enough to allow the foot to extend while avoiding excessive looseness that would cause the child's foot to retract from the gap, resulting in unnecessary radiation exposure. Then, the loop of the binding strap 32 is fitted onto the outer wall of the plug 63 on the corresponding short side wall of the bed frame 6, thus fixing the restraint pad and restraining the child's lower limbs.

[0031] The interlacing gaps in the restraint pads allow for a small range of natural bending in the upper and lower limbs of young children, reducing stiffness.

[0032] After the child's upper and lower limbs are restrained, a neck brace 1 is used to protect the child's thyroid gland, while a waist brace 2 and a crotch extension 21 are used to cover the waist and perineum to prevent the gonads from being exposed to radiation. At this time, the child's chest and abdomen are exposed, allowing for chest X-rays.

[0033] In addition to the above-mentioned measures, when a chest X-ray is not taken, but a brain CT scan is performed, a chest protection pad 7 is also included to avoid the chest and abdomen areas, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the chest protection pad 7 is placed on the chest and abdomen of the child. Both ends of the chest protection pad 7 are detachably connected to the neck brace 1 and waist brace 2, respectively. The chest protection pad 7 can be attached to the neck brace 1 and waist brace 2 via Velcro. As long as the child's upper and lower limbs are restrained, the chest protection pad 7 will not detach from the child's body, forming a closed protective area, after which a brain CT scan can be performed on the child.

[0034] Neck brace 1, waist brace 2, chest protection pad 7, restraint pad 1 3 and restraint pad 2 31, and cover pad 4 are all made of lead rubber. As a high-density metal, lead can effectively absorb and scatter X-rays, significantly reducing radiation exposure in non-examination areas, and is especially suitable for sensitive groups such as children, pregnant women and women of childbearing age.

[0035] By employing flexible restraints and an adjustable design, this system addresses the problems of traditional rigid fixation devices, such as resistance from young children, poor fit, and high radiation exposure risks. It avoids causing severe marks, discomfort, or pain to the child's limbs, ensuring the child lies stably on the bed for X-ray scanning. It prevents the child from moving around, which could lead to unclear examination results and unnecessary radiation exposure. By fixing the child's position, no assistance from family members or medical staff is required to restrain the child's limbs, thus avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure.

[0036] For example, a cranial MRI scan for infants aged 0-1 years: The neck brace 1 has a rounded notch that fits snugly against the neck, while the second binding strap 5 is loosely secured to avoid compressing the carotid artery. The child's hands extend from the gaps between the two binding pads connected by the neck brace 1, and the covering pad 4 is folded over to cover the child's hands. Simultaneously, the child's fingers grasp the hand-held airbag 41 to distract them and reduce anxiety. The feet extend from the gaps between the two binding pads connected by the waist brace 2. Finally, the loops on the first binding strap 32 and the second binding strap 5 can be fitted onto the outer wall of the corresponding plug 63, thus restraining the child's limbs. At the same time, the chest protection pad 7 covers the chest to reduce the potential impact of MRI noise on hearing, after which a cranial MRI examination can be performed.

[0037] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
