Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a supine position pulmonary ultrasound monitoring pad. Background Art

[0002] Severely ill patients are treated in the supine position due to endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation or coma. Pulmonary ultrasound examination has important clinical application value for such patients. At present, however, turning the patient over is required for dorsal ultrasound examination of the patient, and it is difficult to continuously monitor the dorsal lungs using ultrasound.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a supine position pulmonary ultrasound monitoring pad to achieve non-turning and continuous monitoring of the dorsal ultrasound of supine patients. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the above background art and provide a supine position pulmonary ultrasound monitoring pad. The ultrasound monitoring pad provides continuous and non-turning ultrasound monitoring for dorsal pulmonary ultrasound through a plurality of ultrasound detectors combined with a back soft pad.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, a supine position pulmonary ultrasound monitoring pad designed by the utility model includes a monitoring pad body. A number of ultrasound detectors are arranged inside the monitoring pad body, and the ultrasound detectors are connected to an ultrasound display device through signal cables;

[0006] The ultrasound detector includes an acoustic lens, a matching layer, a piezoelectric ceramic, a backing layer, and a base arranged in sequence from top to bottom; a number of anti-displacement buckle components are arranged on both sides of the monitoring pad body.

[0007] Further, the monitoring pad body is a flexible component made of silicone gel.

[0008] Further, the acoustic lens is a transparent component made of silicon sulfide rubber to form a focus of the ultrasonic beam on the axis. Since the acoustic impedance difference between the acoustic lens and the piezoelectric ceramic is very large, strong reflection will occur when the sound wave directly passes through the interface. Therefore, a matching layer needs to be added between the two to achieve the matching between the acoustic lens and the piezoelectric ceramic and reduce reflection.

[0009] Further, the piezoelectric ceramic is a component made of electronic ceramic material. According to its unique piezoelectric effect, the piezoelectric ceramic can realize the mutual conversion between electrical signals and acoustic signals and is the core component of the ultrasonic probe. After receiving an electrical signal, the piezoelectric ceramic vibrates in its thickness direction to generate an acoustic signal.

[0010] Further, the backing layer is a component made of a flexible material. The function of the backing layer is to absorb the acoustic energy radiated into the probe by the piezoelectric element due to vibration and prevent the reflected acoustic energy from being transmitted back to the piezoelectric ceramic to cause interference.

[0011] Further, the base is a component made of plastic and is used to reinforce the ultrasonic detector.

[0012] Further, the signal cable is composed of metal and insulating materials.

[0013] Still further, the buckle assembly includes a first strap and a second strap. One end of the first strap is fixedly connected to the monitoring pad body. A card slot is provided at the other end of the first strap. One end of the second strap is fixedly connected to the monitoring pad body. A buckle matching the card slot is provided at the other end of the second strap. The first strap and the second strap can be made of polyester or polypropylene, and the card slot and the buckle are made of metal or plastic.

[0014] Even further, 4 to 8 ultrasonic detectors are provided inside the monitoring pad body. The ultrasonic detector has a cylindrical structure.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] Firstly, the supine position lung ultrasonic monitoring pad of the present utility model enables the patient to perform ultrasonic monitoring of the dorsal lungs of the patient without changing the body position, ensuring the safety of critically ill patients, facilitating the examination, and being able to ensure accuracy.

[0017] Secondly, the supine position lung ultrasonic monitoring pad of the present utility model can continuously monitor the lungs of the patient without external force, providing more treatment information.

[0018] Thirdly, the supine position lung ultrasonic monitoring pad of the present utility model uses an anti-displacement buckle design to prevent unnecessary displacement and ensure the accuracy of the examination. Description of the Drawings

[0023] In the figure: monitoring pad body 1, ultrasonic detector 2 (acoustic lens 2.1, matching layer 2.2, piezoelectric ceramic 2.3, backing layer 2.4, base 2.5), signal cable 3, ultrasonic display device 4, buckle assembly 5 (first strap 5.1, second strap 5.2, card slot 5.3, buckle 5.4). Detailed implementation mode

[0024] The following will describe in detail the implementation of the present utility model in combination with implementation cases. However, they do not constitute a limitation to the present utility model and are only for illustration purposes. At the same time, the advantages of the present utility model will become clearer and easier to understand through the description.

[0025] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a supine position lung ultrasound monitoring pad includes a monitoring pad body 1. A plurality of ultrasonic detectors 2 are arranged in the monitoring pad body 1. The ultrasonic detectors 2 are connected to an ultrasonic display device 4 through a signal cable 3. The monitoring pad body 1 is a flexible member made of silicone gel. The signal cable is composed of metal and insulating materials. Preferably, 4 to 8 ultrasonic detectors 2 are arranged in the monitoring pad body 1, and the ultrasonic detectors are in a cylindrical shape structure.

[0026] As Figure 3 shown, the ultrasonic detector 2 includes an acoustic lens 2.1, a matching layer 2.2, a piezoelectric ceramic 2.3, a backing layer 2.4, and a base 2.5 arranged in sequence from top to bottom; a plurality of anti-displacement buckle assemblies 5 are arranged on both sides of the monitoring pad body 1. The acoustic lens 2.1 is a transparent member made of silicon sulfide rubber to form a focus of the ultrasonic beam on the axis. Because the acoustic impedance difference between the acoustic lens and the piezoelectric ceramic is very large, strong reflection will occur when the sound wave directly passes through the interface. Therefore, a matching layer 2.2 needs to be added between the two to achieve the matching between the acoustic lens and the piezoelectric ceramic and reduce the reflection. The matching layer can use existing commercially available or publicly disclosed matching layer material products. The piezoelectric ceramic 2.3 is a member made of electronic ceramic material. According to its unique piezoelectric effect, the piezoelectric ceramic can realize the mutual conversion of electrical signals and acoustic signals and is the core component of the ultrasonic probe. After receiving an electrical signal, the piezoelectric ceramic will vibrate in its thickness direction to generate an acoustic signal. The backing layer 2.4 is a member made of flexible material. The function of the backing layer is to absorb the acoustic energy radiated by the piezoelectric element into the probe due to vibration and prevent the reflected acoustic energy from being transmitted back to the piezoelectric ceramic to cause interference. The base 2.5 is a member made of plastic and is used to strengthen the ultrasonic detector.

[0027] The buckle assembly 5 includes a first strap 5.1 and a second strap 5.2. One end of the first strap 5.1 is fixedly connected to the monitoring pad body 1, and a card slot 5.3 is arranged at the other end of the first strap 5.1. One end of the second strap 5.2 is fixedly connected to the monitoring pad body 1, and a buckle 5.4 matching the card slot 5.3 is arranged at the other end of the second strap 5.2. The first strap and the second strap can be made of polyester or polypropylene, and the card slot and the buckle are made of metal or plastic.

[0028] The usage process of the supine position lung ultrasound monitoring pad of the present utility model: As Figure 4As shown in the figure, by placing a supine lung ultrasound monitoring pad under the back of critically ill patients, four ultrasound detectors can perform lung ultrasound monitoring on four areas of the back. The monitoring pad body can ensure the comfort of patients; the anti-displacement buckle assembly can ensure the relative position stability of patients and the monitoring pad. While the patient lies on the monitoring pad for treatment, the lungs can be monitored in real time. Especially for critically ill patients, continuous monitoring can be achieved, and timely measures can be taken in response to lung changes, improving the treatment efficiency of patients.

[0029] The supine lung ultrasound monitoring pad of the present utility model provides continuous and non-turning ultrasound monitoring for dorsal lung ultrasound through multiple ultrasound detectors combined with a back soft pad, which is very convenient and practical.

[0030] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model. It should be noted that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. The rest not detailedly described is the prior art.
