Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical pillows, and particularly relates to a pillow for airway opening. Background Art
[0002] Clinically, there are many patients who need continuous airway opening, such as comatose patients, etc. Usually, using an ordinary pillow under the shoulders will affect airway opening due to changes in body position or continuous sliding of the patient, and cannot relatively fix the position of the head and neck, resulting in ineffective airway opening. Therefore, it is necessary that the height of the shoulder and neck part of the pillow is greater than the height of the head to make the head tilt backward, open the airway and prevent the tongue root from falling backward. And clinically, the patient's head should be tilted to one side as much as possible to prevent vomitus from entering the respiratory tract and causing asphyxia.
[0003] The Chinese utility model patent "CN206062752U - A Pediatric Airway Opening Pillow" discloses a pillow for airway opening, but this pillow has no way to assist in fixing the position and orientation of the head. Therefore, it is necessary to further provide an airway opening pillow that can assist in fixing the position and orientation of the head on the basis of the existing technology. And considering the patient comfort, versatility, usage difficulty and manufacturing cost, it is not suitable to use mechanical structures containing hard materials such as metals. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution provided by the utility model is: A pillow for airway opening, at least including a head pillow and a shoulder and neck pillow connected as a whole. The height of the shoulder and neck pillow is greater than the height of the head pillow. The head pillow includes a pillowcase and a pillow core. The pillowcase is integrally composed of three independent left limiting areas, a middle pillow area and a right limiting area from left to right. The cavities formed by the left limiting area and the right limiting area are both larger than the cavity formed by the middle pillow area. Each of the cavities in the left limiting area and the right limiting area is provided with a bidirectional arc-shaped pillow core. The left and right sides of the bidirectional arc-shaped pillow core are arc-shaped concave towards the pillow core. The height of the bidirectional arc-shaped pillow cores arranged in the cavities of the left limiting area and the right limiting area is greater than the height of the pillow core arranged in the cavity of the middle pillow area. The longitudinal section of the shoulder and neck pillow is in the shape of a semi-cylinder or in a combined shape with an arc-shaped front part and a rectangular rear part.
