[0002] Most patients with severe neurological diseases have impaired consciousness, coma, and restlessness. When lying down, the patient's head cannot be in a neutral position, which is not conducive to the return of the jugular vein. Studies have shown that due to the disease, restless patients are obviously agitated and their heads are twisted, which seriously affects the drainage effect. In addition, the involuntary restlessness of the patient's head can easily damage the surgical incision and the patient himself. Therefore, it is very important to protect the patient's head.

[0003] The existing patent with announcement number CN213911026U discloses a postoperative protective pillow for the head of a neurosurgery patient, including a pillow body, the pillow body including an airbag and a hollow gasket, the hollow gasket protrudes upward, a protective cover body is placed on the hollow gasket, the protective cover body is connected to the airbag, and a receiving cavity for receiving the head of the user is formed between the protective cover body and the hollow gasket, and the protective cover body is also connected to a head massage device. By integrating the head massage device into the postoperative protective pillow for the head of a neurosurgery patient, it is convenient to massage the user's head through the head massage device, thereby alleviating the user's head discomfort, and the user's head can be raised by the hollow gasket, thereby reducing the probability of the user's neck contacting the airbag, thereby reducing the pressure on the skin of the back of the head, and reducing the possibility of pressure sores.

[0027] The hollow area 2 is provided with two wave-like inflatable airbags 3 which can independently adjust the inflation height, and are symmetrically distributed on the side walls on both sides of the hollow area 2, that is, the wave-like inflatable airbags 3 are connected to the edge of the inner wall of the hollow area 2, and the specific connection method can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; the wave-like inflatable airbag 3 has two peaks, one peak is used to resist the patient's auricle, and the other peak is used to resist the patient's lower jaw, and the peaks and troughs of the wave-like inflatable airbag 3 are determined based on the direction from the edge to the middle of the hollow area 2; the setting of the wave-like inflatable airbag 3 can effectively fix the patient's head, thereby preventing the patient's head from sliding down and tilting left and right, the wave-like inflatable airbag 3 can adjust the height, so that it can be dynamically adjusted according to the size of the patient's head, and the inner curvature of the wave-like inflatable airbag 3 conforms to the anatomical characteristics of the human body.

[0028] Furthermore, in the thickness direction of the pillow body 1, the height of the wave crest of the wave-like inflatable airbag 3 used to resist the patient's auricle is lower than the height of the wave crest used to resist the patient's lower jaw; in the use surface direction of the pillow body 1, the extended length of the wave crest of the wave-like inflatable airbag 3 used to resist the patient's auricle is shorter than the extended length of the wave crest used to resist the patient's lower jaw, thereby avoiding pressure on the patient's ears, and the wave crest at the lower jaw can effectively support the patient's head and neck; a blockage is provided on the inflation nozzle 8 of the wave-like inflatable airbag 3, and the inflation nozzle 8 of the wave-like inflatable airbag 3 can extend from the thickness direction of the pillow body 1 to the side of the pillow body 1, and the inflation nozzles 8 of the two wave-like inflatable airbags 3 are respectively located on both sides of the pillow body 1.

[0029] In some other embodiments, a neck recessed area 4 extending to the hollow area 2 is provided on the edge side of the pillow body 1, and the setting of the neck recessed area 4 can limit the patient's neck; the thickness of the neck recessed area 4 gradually becomes thinner from the edge of the pillow body 1 to the hollow area 2, so that the neck recessed area 4 conforms to the anatomical characteristics of the human body.

[0030] Furthermore, a neck inflatable airbag 5 with adjustable inflation height is provided in the neck recessed area 4; in the use surface direction of the pillow body 1, the cross-sectional area of ​​the neck inflatable airbag 5 is adapted to the cross-sectional area of ​​the neck recessed area 4, that is, the neck inflatable airbag 5 can be completely filled in the neck recessed area 4, and by adjusting the height of the neck inflatable airbag 5, the height of the neck pillow can be adjusted, thereby effectively supporting the patient's head and neck and avoiding damage to the patient's spinal pressure.

[0031] Specifically, the inflation nozzle 8 of the neck inflatable airbag 5 also extends to the side of the pillow body 1; the inflation nozzle 8 is also provided with an openable and closable plug; the inflation nozzle 8 of the neck inflatable airbag 5 and the inflation nozzle 8 of the wave-type inflatable airbag 3 are of the same model, thereby realizing that one inflation device can inflate multiple inflation nozzles 8.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the edge of the pillow is provided with a mesh head elastic fixing sleeve 6 covering the head of the hollow area 2; the mesh head elastic fixing sleeve 6 can fix the patient's postoperative head dressing, and the mesh structure can allow the patient's drainage tube to pass through and be fixed, thereby avoiding the risk of the drainage tube being compressed and bent and pulled out.

[0033] Furthermore, the mesh head elastic fixing sleeve 6 includes a first mesh structure and a second mesh structure which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right; the first mesh structure and the second mesh structure can be used crosswise and overlappingly, and first mating surfaces of Velcro 7 are provided at the ends of the first mesh structure and the second mesh structure, that is, the first mating surfaces of the Velcro 7 of the first mesh structure and the second mesh structure are both located on the surface facing the hollow area 2; second mating surfaces of Velcro 7 are provided on the contact surfaces of the first mesh structure and the second mesh structure; the first mating surface and the second mating surface of Velcro 7 are used in combination, and the first mating surface and the second mating surface of Velcro 7 can be staggered and connected, so that the head circumference of the mesh head elastic sleeve can have an adjustment range of 3-5cm, and at the same time can play a pressurizing role, which promotes the absorption of subcutaneous fluid in patients to a certain extent.

[0034] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the use plane of the pillow body 1 is wavy and extends along the length direction of the hollow area 2, and the wave crest on one side of the pillow body 1 is higher than the wave crest on the other side of the pillow body 1; the length direction of the hollow area 2 is the height direction of the patient when the pillow body 1 is in use; the wavy use surface of the pillow body 1 can better fit the human body curve.

[0035] Working process: When in use, place the pillow body 1 under the patient's head to ensure that the hollow area 2 is located at the patient's pillow, and adjust the bonding position of the Velcro 7 of the first mesh structure and the second mesh structure according to the size of the patient's head circumference, so that the mesh head elastic fixing sleeve 6 fits tightly on the patient's head; according to the individual differences of the patient, inflate the wave-type inflatable airbag 3 and the neck inflatable airbag 5 to a suitable state in turn, so that the patient's head and neck are always in a neutral position.

[0036] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
