Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary instruments, in particular to a shoulder pad device for expanding the respiratory tract of infants and young children. Background Art

[0002] Tidal lung function is detected by analyzing the tidal breathing flow-volume curve to evaluate the lung function of the subject. It mainly calculates and analyzes the chest and abdominal movements, volume, and gas flow velocity through a respiratory flow sensor that tightly fits the mask on the child during sleep. The subject needs to pad the shoulders and tilt the head back to open the respiratory tract. Adults or older children can cooperate with the detection in a waking state after listening to instructions, while younger infants can only be detected in a sedated and sleeping state. Currently, usually, the examiner folds an ordinary children's pillow to make the child reach the position of padding the shoulders and tilting the head back. The operation is cumbersome, and the examination often goes smoothly because the pillow deforms during the examination.

[0003] There is another situation where it is necessary to open the respiratory tract of a child. During the surgical treatment of a child, due to the relatively narrow respiratory tract of the child, after general anesthesia, the child is prone to continuous breathing and hypoxia, which can cause serious sequelae. Clinically, it is necessary to pad something on the shoulders of the child after anesthesia to lift the chest area of the child to make the respiratory tract fully unobstructed. Since the child's body is small, it is not suitable to place a large item on the shoulders, and the cylindrical shape formed by towels is easy to deform and inconvenient to move. Existing shoulder pads for pediatric anesthesia have some defects, being inconvenient to lift the shoulders of children with different body types and inconvenient to fix the heads of children.

[0004] In view of the above situation, the patent (authorization publication number: CN217908278U) discloses a special pillow for infant tidal lung function examination, including a support pad, and a shoulder and neck support block for supporting the shoulder and neck is connected to the top of the support pad. One side of the shoulder and neck support block is used to support the back, and the other side is used to support the head. The special examination pillow of this solution can effectively fix the head, neck and shoulders of the sleeping child, can effectively fit the curves of the head, neck and shoulders of the child, and can effectively lift the shoulders of the child, making the child's head tilt back and the neck straighten, allowing the child to fully open the airway and ensuring the accuracy of the detection.

[0005] However, for a pillow with this structure, although the distance of the limit block can be adjusted to limit the head posture, the size of the shoulder and neck support block cannot be adjusted. Children have uneven body sizes, heights, and weights. After lying down, especially for relatively obese children, or children with short and fat necks, this ordinary shoulder and neck support is often not obvious enough. As a result, the nurse still needs to use a sterile cloth to pad again, or lift the chin for manual positioning. This leads to the need for a special person to assist in positioning during the anesthesia process or lung function detection process to keep the airway fully open, which is rather troublesome. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a shoulder pad device for expanding the respiratory tract of infants and young children, which can maintain the stability of the airway (respiratory tract) of the child during anesthesia and pulmonary function testing after eliminating the need for continuous adjustment by nurses.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present utility model is as follows:

[0008] The shoulder pad device for expanding the respiratory tract of infants and young children includes a support pad and a shoulder and neck support block. The top of the shoulder and neck support block is a flat surface, the front part is a front inclined surface for supporting the back, and the rear part is a rear inclined surface for supporting the head. The support pad is cylindrical or arched and is installed at the top of the shoulder and neck support block. There is a concave pit for placing the head in the middle of the rear inclined surface. The support pad is a rubber airbag, and an air pump is provided on the rubber airbag. A sponge cloth is sleeved outside each of the rubber airbag and the shoulder and neck support block, and a detachable structure is provided on the sponge cloth at the connection between the two.

[0009] Furthermore, the support pad is divided into an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is a core pillow, and the outer layer is a rubber airbag. Generally, when the rubber airbag is not inflated, the inner layer core pillow can meet the postures of more children to keep the airway unobstructed. When adjustment is needed, the outer rubber airbag is inflated to assist in raising the chin to a certain height position, facilitating the airway to remain unobstructed and being beneficial for the operation of nurses.

[0010] Furthermore, the rubber airbag is divided into a middle pillow part and left and right pad parts with a symmetrical design on the left and right. The core pillow is located inside the middle pillow part. There are folding marks between the left and right pad parts and the middle pillow part. Mutual adhesive pieces are provided at the ends of the left and right pad parts that gather towards the chin.

[0011] Furthermore, when the left and right pad parts extend from near the middle pillow part towards the mutual adhesive pieces, their diameters gradually increase.

[0012] Furthermore, the core pillow and the shoulder and neck support block are made of memory foam or gel.

[0013] Furthermore, the concave pit is in the shape of a bowl that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. In this way, heads of different volumes can be placed at different gradient positions, which can ensure that the heads of sleeping children are straightened, achieving the purpose with a simple structure and being more convenient to operate.

[0014] Furthermore, the height of the front inclined surface is lower than the height of the rear inclined surface. In this way, the chest of the child can be raised, the head can be tilted backward, and the chin can be raised, thus ensuring the unobstructed airway. It is helpful for the stability of the posture both during anesthesia and pulmonary function testing, and there is no need for continuous adjustment and fixation of the posture.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the above design compared with the prior art are as follows: The shoulder pad device in this solution can effectively fit the curve of the head, neck and shoulders of children, and can effectively raise the shoulders of children. Especially for children with short and chubby necks, the inflation function of the rubber airbag can be quickly used to finely adjust the position of the patient's chin elevation, so that the child's head is fully tilted backward and the neck is straightened. This can fully open the airway of children with different body types and ensure the accuracy of detection.

[0016] The specially designed left pad and right pad can be pasted together around the neck after inflation. This design helps to raise the chin on the one hand and helps to stabilize the patient's head on the other hand. In the general anesthesia state, the left pad and right pad can cooperate with the concave pit design points to keep the patient's head in the position with the airway open and maintain the stability of this position.

[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further elaborated below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The shoulder pad device for expanding the respiratory tract of infants shown is composed of a support pad 1 and a shoulder and neck support block 2. The top of the shoulder and neck support block 2 is a flat surface, the front part is a front inclined surface for supporting the back, and the rear part is a rear inclined surface for supporting the head. The height of the front inclined surface is lower than that of the rear inclined surface. The front inclined surface is used to support the back, and the rear inclined surface is used to support the head.

[0022] The support pad 1 is cylindrical or arched and is installed at the top position of the shoulder and neck support block 2. There is a concave pit 21 for placing the head in the middle of the rear inclined surface. The concave pit 21 is in the shape of a bowl with a wider top and a narrower bottom. The patient's back of the head is positioned in the concave pit 21, so that it will not swing left and right during the sleeping state. The back of the patient's head is usually flat or arc-shaped and varies in size. The wider top and narrower bottom enable the back of the head to act on different stress points of the concave pit 21, and the stress points are of different heights, so that the back of the head can be better framed. The shoulder and neck support block 2 can also be made of medical gel material to prevent or reduce the occurrence of pressure sores.

[0023] The support pad 1 is divided into two layers, the inner layer is the core pillow 10, and the outer layer is the rubber airbag 11. The rubber airbag 11 is provided with an air pump 2, which can be hand-kneaded or electric. A layer of sponge cloth (or non-woven fabric) is placed outside the rubber airbag 11 and the shoulder and neck support block 2, and a detachable structure is provided on the sponge cloth at the connection between the two, which can be used with a zipper or Velcro to ensure that the support pad or the shoulder and neck support block can be replaced separately. The outer sponge cloth or non-woven fabric is equivalent to a pillowcase and can be removed for cleaning and disinfection.

[0024] The rubber airbag is divided into a middle pillow part 110 and a left pad part 111 and a right pad part 112 which are symmetrically designed. The core pillow 10 is located in the middle pillow part 110. Folding marks 113 are arranged between the left pad part 111, the right pad part 112 and the middle pillow part 110. An adhesive sheet 114 is arranged at one end of the left pad part and the right pad part which gather toward the chin.

[0025] Generally, the area extending from the ear to the chin passes through the jawline. When the airway is open, the chin should be raised. We designed the left and right pads into ergonomic shapes. It is best if the diameter of the left and right pads gradually increases as they extend from the middle occipital part toward the adhesive sheet, or if they are concave close to the jawline. In addition, the end with the adhesive sheet is flat, and the two are overlapped and pasted. At this time, the overlap is in the middle of the chin, and the other parts are inflated to support the chin, so that the chin is raised and fixed.

[0026] The core pillow and the shoulder and neck support block are made of memory foam or gel.

[0027] When in use, after the child lies down, let the back of the cervical vertebrae rest on the support block and the back of the head be placed in the pit. If the height of the support block is not enough, the rubber airbag can be inflated to expand. After expansion, the neck will be lifted up, and the chin will naturally be raised, and the airway can be opened. If the child is in anesthesia, the left pad 111 and the right pad 112 can be wrapped around to support the neck position, thereby supporting the chin. When in use, ensure that there is no pressure on the neck, just gently lean against it and stick them together.

[0028] The shoulder pad device for expanding the airway of infants provided by the utility model is introduced in detail above. The description of the specific embodiment is only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, the utility model can also be improved and modified without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
