Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to a chest surgery position pad. Background Art

[0002] Thoracic surgery is a surgery that requires the patient to be placed in the lateral position for general thoracic surgery. During thoracic surgery, it is often necessary to use a positioning pad to raise the patient's chest for easier surgery. Because ordinary chest pads are fixed in height and inconvenient to adjust, they can easily cause pressure damage to the skin in the compressed area. There are also problems that when the chest cavity is opened, the patient's core temperature drops significantly, often fluctuating around 35°C. The main reason is that the ordinary chest pad blocks the contact between the warming blanket and the patient, and the use of the lower limb support pad makes it difficult for the skin of both lower limbs to contact the warming blanket, which makes it difficult for the patient to maintain the core temperature during surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem of local skin pressure damage caused by ordinary chest pads during thoracic surgery, while at the same time meeting the problem of effectively maintaining the patient's core temperature during surgery.

[0003] The utility model patent with announcement number CN218607247U discloses an inflatable heated side-lying cushion, including a cushion body and an air pump. The surface of the cushion body is provided with a headrest, a concave shoulder pad and a chest pad in sequence. The interior of the cushion body is provided with a first airbag and a second airbag at positions directly opposite to the headrest and the chest pad, respectively. A carbon fiber far-infrared heating pad is attached to the surface of the cushion body, and a plurality of temperature sensors are fixed between the waterproof cotton cloth and the carbon fiber far-infrared heating pad. The utility model can inflate and deflate the airbag in the cushion through the air pump provided, and has strong application convenience and little impact on the operation time. Moreover, the inflated position cushion fits the curvature of the human chest. When applied to the operation, it can effectively reduce the pressure, shear force and friction force of the bone protrusion, effectively improve the patient's comfort during the operation, and reduce the incidence of pressure injury (pressure sore). It can also effectively improve the intraoperative visual field of chest surgery, improve the convenience of the operator's operation and the satisfaction of nurses and operators. However, in the above scheme, the contact area between the patient and the positioning pad is small, the heat preservation effect is poor, and the patient is still prone to hypothermia. In addition, the airbag used to raise the chest is an integrated airbag, and the pad body compresses the patient as a whole, which is not convenient for adjusting the compression position. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing chest positioning pad. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a thoracic surgery position pad in view of the above problems, so as to solve the technical problem that the traditional position pad is not convenient for effectively keeping the patient warm and reducing the occurrence of acquired pressure injuries during surgery.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A thoracic surgery position pad comprises a chest pad, an extension pad and a controller, wherein a plurality of airbags are arranged in parallel on the chest pad, the airbags are connected to the controller and the air pressure of each airbag can be adjusted individually, a plurality of fixing belts are arranged on both sides of the lower part of the chest pad, and a first heating pad layer is arranged on the upper end surface of the airbag; the extension pad is connected to one end of the chest pad, and a second heating pad layer is arranged on the upper end surface of the extension pad, the first heating pad layer and the second heating pad layer are both connected to the controller, and the controller can individually control the temperature of the first heating pad layer and the temperature of the second heating pad.

[0007] Furthermore, the first heating pad layer is an integral structure, and the first heating pad layer covers the upper end surfaces of all the airbags.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing belt is fixed by a strap type or a Velcro type.

[0009] Furthermore, limb restraint enclosures are provided on both sides of the extension pad, and the ends of the restraint enclosures on both sides are detachably connected.

[0010] Furthermore, a third heating pad layer is provided on the constraining enclosure, and the third heating pad layer is connected to the controller, and the controller can independently control the temperature of the third heating pad layer.

[0011] Furthermore, the first heating pad layer, the second heating pad layer and the third heating pad layer are all carbon fiber far-infrared heating pads.

[0012] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. When the utility model is used, the chest pad and the extension pad are placed on the operating table. When the thoracic lateral position is completed, the airbag group is used by the controller to lift and support the patient's chest. The airbag is alternately inflated and deflated to alternately compress the patient's chest in different time periods and regions, thereby reducing the probability of acquired pressure injuries during surgery. The first heating pad layer can be used to warm the patient's chest skin and reduce the patient's hypothermia. The extension pad can be used to heat and keep the patient's lower chest warm, further reducing the possibility of hypothermia. Based on the above, the utility model can solve the technical problem that traditional body positioning pads are not convenient for effectively keeping patients warm and reducing the occurrence of acquired pressure injuries during surgery.

[0014] 2. The utility model is provided with a restraining enclosure, which can wrap the patient's body and restrain the patient during surgery; and the third heating pad layer provided on the restraining enclosure can further heat and keep the patient warm, thereby achieving a multifunctional effect.
