Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a support and assistance device used in rigid bronchoscopy. Background Technology
[0002] Rigid bronchoscopes are a type of modern medical equipment. With the development of medicine, rigid bronchoscopes are constantly being developed and improved. Rigid bronchoscopes maintain airway patency and have side ports at the operating end for connection to a ventilator; therefore, they are also called "ventilation bronchoscopes" and are widely used in related surgeries.
[0003] When performing rigid bronchoscopy, medical staff need to have the patient lie supine on the operating table, adjust the height and angle of the patient's head, and place a positioning pad under the patient's neck and back. The positioning pad is mainly used to adjust and fix the patient's position. The positioning of the patient during surgery is an important guarantee for the smooth progress of the operation.
[0004] When performing the aforementioned surgical procedures on patients, medical staff need to adjust the patient's position appropriately after general anesthesia, and effectively adjust the height of the patient's head, neck, and shoulders. Currently, most hospitals place several pillows under the patient's head, neck, and shoulders after general anesthesia. Since the patient is under general anesthesia, this not only easily causes unnecessary damage to the patient, but also brings great inconvenience to medical staff.
[0005] In addition, the pillow is very easy to move during the operation. After the pillow moves, the medical staff need to adjust the patient's position to the correct position in time. It is also difficult to keep the patient in a relatively stable surgical position during the operation. This method not only increases the labor intensity of medical staff, but also increases the risk of related surgeries and reduces the success rate of related surgeries. It also brings great inconvenience to the positioning and positioning of patients who need to undergo rigid bronchoscopy. Summary of the Invention

This device features a reasonable overall design, simple structure, and convenient operation. It effectively combines a headrest, backrest, and neckrest structure. During rigid bronchoscopy, medical staff simply place this device on the operating table, place the patient supine on it, and then adjust the patient's head, neck, and cervical spine to the required height and angle. This method not only reduces the workload of medical staff but also lowers the risks of the procedure and improves the success rate, significantly facilitating patient positioning and alignment for rigid bronchoscopy.
