[0002] In clinical work, patients infected with pneumonia such as COVID-19 or acute respiratory distress often use prone ventilation to improve lung ventilation and improve treatment effects. However, after long-term prone ventilation treatment, the patient's face is prone to pressure sores due to long-term pressure, and even the head is deformed. The traditional method is to put a soft pillow under the patient's head. Practice has shown that this simple treatment method cannot effectively improve the occurrence of pressure sores, and the patient's ears are often not protected and deformed. The tracheal tube installed in the patient's mouth and nose often falls off or is folded due to the lack of special placement space, affecting the patient's ventilation and seriously affecting the treatment effect. At the same time, due to the different body shapes of different patients, the thickness of the pillow may not be suitable for the patient, which leads to neck discomfort in patients who lie prone for a long time.

[0010] Preferably, the lower plate is made of a lightweight material with a certain rigidity to ensure that the overall structural shape has a certain rigidity.

[0011] Preferably, at least one air chamber is provided in the headrest body.

[0012] Preferably, the interior of the headrest body is divided into several air chambers, and each air chamber is connected to an air filling and discharging valve, so that the amount of air in the air chamber can be independently controlled, thereby adjusting the height and shape of the headrest. For example, if the headrest needs to be higher as a whole, each air chamber is filled with more air; if the forehead position needs to be higher, the air chamber at the forehead position is filled with more air, and other air chambers are filled with relatively less air.

[0013] Preferably, the air chamber can be filled with air manually or electrically through an air filling and discharging valve.

[0014] Preferably, at least one ventilation groove is provided above the headrest body.
