Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical care products, and in particular to a novel water pillow for preventing pressure injuries. Background Art

[0002] Pressure injury is a localized injury to the skin and / or subcutaneous tissue caused by pressure or pressure combined with shear force. It is often located at bony prominences, but may also be related to medical devices or other items. It was once called pressure sores, pressure ulcers, and bedsores. In 2016, the U.S. Pressure Injury Advisory Committee renamed pressure sores as pressure injuries, which are also called skin sores in traditional Chinese medicine. Pressure injury patients often occur in groups with critical conditions, the elderly and frail, poor nutrition, impaired consciousness, long-term bedridden, mattresses or wheelchairs that cannot move on their own. Any part that supports the body but lacks the protection of fat tissue is prone to pressure injuries. The occurrence of pressure injuries is related to the patient's long-term bed rest position. For example, patients who often lie on their backs are prone to pressure injuries in the sacrum and coccyx, patients who often lie on their sides are prone to pressure injuries in the inner and outer ankles, and patients after surgery may also suffer from pressure injuries on the ear edge and occipital region of the head.

[0003] Pressure injury is a common problem in rehabilitation treatment and nursing, and is one of the key challenges faced by medical institutions. It not only threatens the life and health of patients, but also brings heavy economic pressure and medical burden to society. According to relevant literature reports, about 60,000 people die from complications of pressure injuries each year.

[0004] There are multiple commonly used pressure injury classification systems. The classification system adopted by the "Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers / Injuries (International Guidelines 2019 Edition)" divides pressure injuries into stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, stage 4, unstageable pressure injuries, deep tissue injuries, mucosal pressure injuries, and device-related pressure injuries.

[0005] The key to preventing pressure injuries is early detection to prevent patients from suffering from stage 1 pressure injuries, or to take effective measures to prevent the transformation to stage 2 pressure injuries when patients suffer from stage 1 pressure injuries, so that the skin improves and the pressure injuries disappear. The main way to prevent pressure injuries in the sacrum and coccyx is to turn over and pat the back regularly. Generally speaking, turning over once every two hours can effectively prevent pressure injuries in the sacrum and coccyx. At present, most critically ill patients use soft pillows or buckwheat pillows as back support materials to turn over once every two hours. When soft pillows or buckwheat pillows are used, the patient's back and sacrum and coccyx often become red after turning over, and the patient's comfort is low; the surface of the soft pillow or buckwheat pillow supporting the human body is flat, which causes uneven force on the patient's buttocks and back, resulting in pressure injuries. In addition, long-term assistance in turning over nursing work for patients will cause nursing staff to suffer from low back pain, lumbar muscle strain, and lumbar disc herniation, which greatly increases the probability of occupational diseases in nurses. Therefore, we need a new water pillow to prevent pressure injuries, which can not only effectively prevent and avoid pressure injuries in patients, but also effectively reduce the occurrence of occupational diseases in nursing staff.

[0028] like Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, the present embodiment provides a novel pressure-injury-proof water pillow, comprising:

[0029] A water pillow first body 1 is provided, wherein the water pillow first body 1 is spliced ​​with the water pillow second body 2 to form a water pillow body 3, wherein fillers are arranged inside the water pillow first body 1 and the water pillow second body 2, wherein a first groove 4 is arranged at the lower part of the water pillow first body 1, and a second groove 5 is arranged at the lower part of the water pillow second body 2, wherein the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 are spliced ​​to form a complete groove 6, which matches the shape of the human buttocks so that the force on the buttocks and the back is evenly distributed when the human body lies flat, wherein a support pad 7 is laid on the surface of the groove 6, and the patient's legs and head are padded with other pillows.

[0030] like Figure 1 to Figure 5As shown, in the first embodiment of the utility model, the first body 1 of the water pillow and the second body 2 of the water pillow have the same structure, which is a rectangular structure, 90 cm long, 35 cm wide, and 15 cm high. This size is designed based on the statistical data of the patient's back length and hip length, and is also designed to facilitate the nursing staff to carry the water pillow. A water pillow that is too large is difficult to carry. The first body 1 of the water pillow and the second body 2 of the water pillow are spliced ​​together to form a rectangular water pillow body 3 that is 90 cm long, 70 cm wide, and 15 cm high. A first rounded structure 8 is arranged around the upper surface of the water pillow body 3 to help reduce the friction between the patient's skin and the water pillow. The internal filling of the first body 1 of the water pillow and the second body 2 of the water pillow is water or ice crystal hydrate. Its characteristics make the water pillow soft and comfortable, with strong fluidity and uniform pressure distribution. The patient or nurse can change the changes in the pressure site with a slight movement, thereby reducing the local pressure time.

[0031] like Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, in the second embodiment of the present utility model, the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 have the same structure, one end of the groove 6 is semicircular and gradually narrows to the other side, the maximum width of the groove 6 is 32 cm, and the depth is 10 cm. The second fillet structure 9 is arranged around the groove 6 where it borders the upper surface of the water pillow body 3, the upper surface of the water pillow body 3 forms a comfortable plane, and the structure of the groove 6 is similar to the shape of the patient's buttocks. When the patient lies down, his back is completely in contact with the upper surface of the water pillow body 3, and the buttocks are completely in contact with the groove 6, so that the pressure is evenly distributed. The support pad 7 is a hip-shaped structure. After being laid on the groove 6, it covers the entire upper surface of the groove 6 and is completely consistent with the groove 6. The support pad 7 is disposable and made of latex material with good air permeability. It can increase the breathing of the patient's skin and reduce skin problems caused by moisture. The design of the utility model lengthens the turning interval every two hours, improves the comfort of the patient's skin, and reduces the probability of pressure injury. For patients who have already had stage 1 pressure injury skin, the improvement speed is fast and the pain of the patient is relieved. For some patients who need less activity, the longer turning time interval not only protects the disease but also prevents the occurrence of pressure injury, and reduces the infection and cost caused by the pressure injury of the patient. It reduces the reduction of nurses' daily turning work, thereby reducing the probability of occupational diseases such as low back pain, lumbar muscle strain, and lumbar disc herniation, reduces the pressure of nursing staff due to the difficulty of preventing pressure injury, reduces occupational stress, and improves happiness. It also allows nursing staff to have more time to observe other problems of patients, making intensive care more precise. The design of the groove 6 increases the pressure area of ​​the patient's buttocks corresponding to the water pillow, reduces the pressure on the patient's buttocks, and evenly distributes the pressure on the compressed part, which can effectively protect the patient's compressed skin and is a better decompression tool. Decompression is the most basic measure to prevent pressure injuries, which can avoid the occurrence of pressure injuries and promote the outcome.
