Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical equipment for intensive care units, in particular to a prone position pad for intensive care units. Background Art

[0002] In the intensive care unit, patients who have undergone surgery on the spine, back of the brain, etc., usually take a face-down prone position to promote healing and reduce complications. For this reason, the use of a special positioning pad, based on high breathability, can provide patients with appropriate support and reduce pressure on sensitive areas (such as the chest, abdomen, breasts, and face).

[0003] Currently on the market, the prone position pads are mainly composed of a main pad at the bottom and an auxiliary pad installed on the main pad. The main pad is roughly flat, and there are multiple auxiliary pads and they are set in different shapes. For example, the head pad is generally a U-shaped structure, the chest and shoulder pads are usually thin at the middle rear edge, the groin pads are generally two square structures, the knee pads are generally long strips with a circular groove in the middle, and the sole pads are generally long strips with a circular arc protrusion in the middle. It can be seen that the current position pads mainly support the patient's head, chest and shoulders, groin, knees and soles of the feet when the patient is in a posture.

[0004] It can be seen that although the patient's prone position is supported during the use of the positioning pad, there are only a few harder parts of the body as support points. These parts will be squeezed for a long time, which will lead to blood obstruction and bruises. Combined with the heat dissipation problem, it will cause skin lesions. At the same time, the positioning pad cannot adapt well to the differences between male and female patients, nor can it adapt well to the differences between fat and thin patients. Even if the corresponding size of auxiliary pads are configured for patients of different body shapes for replacement, they cannot adapt well to the patient's body shape. Some auxiliary pads are not suitable, and it is easy to accumulate pressure in these parts, increase the patient's pain, and affect the patient's postoperative recovery. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to better illustrate the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model, the specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a prone position pad for an intensive care unit according to an embodiment of the utility model is shown. The prone position pad comprises a base plate 10, two chest and shoulder support modules 30, an abdomen support module 40 and two leg support modules 50 arranged on the base plate 10, an inner pad 60 arranged on each of the chest and shoulder support modules 30, the abdomen support module 40 and the leg support module 50, and a mask 61 arranged on the inner pad 60. The prone position pad also comprises a foot pad 70, a head pad 81 and an arm pad 82 arranged outside the base plate 10.

[0030] Specifically, the base plate 10 is made of a hard material, thereby providing support for the installation of each airbag 20 .

[0031] Specifically, two chest-shoulder support modules 30 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the upper part of the base plate 10. Each chest-shoulder support module 30 includes a chest-shoulder air cushion unit 31 composed of a plurality of air bags 20 arranged in a ring shape, and a chest-shoulder air guide pipe 32 connecting each air bag 20 in the chest-shoulder air cushion unit 31. There are three groups of chest-shoulder air cushion units 31, each of which is arranged from the center to the outside, and the end of each chest-shoulder air guide pipe 32 is respectively connected to one end of the air pressure sensor 22, and the other end of the air pressure sensor 22 is connected to the inflation and exhaust valve 21.

[0032] Specifically, the abdomen support module 40 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the base plate 10, and includes an abdomen air cushion unit 41 composed of a plurality of air bags 20 arranged in a ring shape, and an abdomen air guide pipe 42 connected to each air bag 20 in the abdomen air cushion unit 41; the abdomen air cushion unit 41 is provided with four groups, and each abdomen air cushion unit 41 is arranged from the center to the outside. The end of each abdomen air guide pipe 42 is respectively connected to one end of the air pressure sensor 22, and the other end of the air pressure sensor 22 is connected to the inflation and exhaust valve 21.

[0033] Specifically, the leg support modules 50 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the lower part of the base plate 10. Each leg support module 50 includes a leg air cushion unit 51 in which a plurality of air bags 20 are arranged in a row, and a leg air guide duct 52 connecting each air bag 20 in the leg air cushion unit 51; each leg air cushion unit 51 is provided with at least two air bags 20, and each leg air cushion unit 51 is arranged on the left and right sides. The end of each leg air guide duct 52 is connected to one end of the air pressure sensor 22, and the other end of the air pressure sensor 22 is connected to the inflation and exhaust valve 21.

[0034] For ease of understanding, the working principle of the prone position cushion of this embodiment is as follows: before use, the medical staff obtains the patient's body shape data, and according to the body shape data, inflates or deflates the inflation and exhaust valves 21 of each chest-shoulder air duct 32, abdomen air duct 42 and leg air duct 52, so that the air pressure in each chest-shoulder air cushion unit 31, abdomen air cushion unit 41 and leg air cushion unit 51 conforms to the patient's body shape characteristics. When the medical staff moves the patient to the position cushion of this embodiment in a prone position, the data of the air pressure sensors 22 of each chest-shoulder air duct 32, abdomen air duct 42 and leg air duct 52 can be observed, and the air pressure of the chest-shoulder air cushion unit 31, abdomen air cushion unit 41 and leg air cushion unit 51 can be fine-tuned. The patient's body in the prone position can be fully supported, and the supporting force is balanced and can focus on the harder parts of the patient's body, thereby obtaining a comfortable prone feeling.

[0035] It can be seen that the prone position pad of this embodiment can achieve more support points and disperse the pressure on the patient's body when lying prone. At the same time, the supporting force of each support point can be adjusted to adapt to patients of different body shapes such as men and women or fat and thin, thereby improving the comfort of patients during prone position rehabilitation.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mask 61 is made of a heat dissipation material, and the inner pad 60 is made of a soft material. A heat dissipation pipeline 62 is provided on the upper surface of the inner pad 60. The heat dissipation pipeline 62 is arranged in a serpentine shape on the upper surface of the entire inner pad 60, and the upper surface of the inner pad 60 has a corresponding installation slot. When the patient lies prone, the medical staff can introduce cooling water into the heat dissipation pipeline 62, and the cooling water quickly takes away the heat of the mask 61, thereby keeping the patient's skin dry.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the airbags 20 in the chest-shoulder air cushion unit 31, the abdomen air cushion unit 41 and the leg air cushion unit 51 are of the same size, and the difference in supporting force between the air cushion units is mainly achieved by adjusting the air pressure of the airbags 20. A spring is provided in the airbag 20 to provide basic supporting force for the airbag 20.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inflating and exhausting valves 21 of each chest and shoulder airway 32, abdomen airway 42, and leg airway 52 are arranged in the same box. Medical staff can inflate or exhaust different airways by operating the air pump at the same location, thereby facilitating the operation of medical staff.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the foot pad 70 is disposed on the rear side of the base plate 10. During use, since the heights of patients are various, the foot pad 70 can be disposed to adapt to the height differences of different patients.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the head cushion 81 is arranged at the center of the front side of the base plate 10, and two arm cushions 82 are arranged and arranged on both sides of the head cushion 81. Based on the principle similar to the foot cushion 70, the head and arm cushions are individually arranged to adapt to the differences of patients.

[0041] The above embodiments mainly describe the basic principles, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
