Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically to a medical prone ventilation assist device. Background Art

[0002] Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious lung disease characterized by acute and widespread alveolar inflammation, which leads to severe impairment of oxygenation and a high mortality rate. Prone ventilation, as an important treatment, can significantly improve gas exchange and the ventilation / perfusion ratio in the lungs by changing the patient's body position. This position change helps reduce lung inflammation and improve oxygenation, and is often used in combination with mechanical ventilation and other supportive therapies to improve patient survival and recovery.

[0029] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application provides a medical prone position ventilation assist device, comprising a base 1 and a head support assembly 2 provided on the base 1. A through hole 11 is provided on the base 1 for providing breathing for a human body during prone position ventilation. The base 1 is an elliptical ring-shaped body;

[0032] The head support assembly 2 includes two face support airbags 21 provided on the top surface of the base 1. The top surface of the base 1 is also provided with a forehead support airbag 22. The face support airbags 21 and the forehead support airbags 22 are components of the same structure.

[0033] An inflation component 3 for inflating the face support airbag 21 and the forehead support airbag 22 is also provided on one side of the base 1;

[0034] A support base 12 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the base 1 . The support base 12 is a barrel-shaped body with an open top. A circular hole 121 is provided on the outer wall of the support base 12 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the base 1 is placed on the bed, and the head support assembly 2 is placed upward. When performing prone ventilation, the head is placed on the head support assembly 2 with the face facing downward, so that the human face is placed on the two sets of face support airbags 21, and the forehead is placed on the forehead support airbag 22. According to actual needs, the two sets of face support airbags 21 are inflated or deflated to make the heights of the two sets of face support airbags 21 different, thereby adjusting the position of the two sides of the face, and selecting one side of the face to be compressed and the other side to rest according to actual needs. The same is true for the forehead support airbag 22, which is inflated and deflated according to actual needs, so that the human head can be adjusted to tilt the head up and down, preventing facial injuries caused by prolonged pressure on the face, and also avoiding neck muscle strain caused by long-term fixed head position. When sputum drainage is performed, the suction tube can be passed through the circular hole 121 and pulled upward from the inside of the support base 12 to facilitate suctioning of the patient. At the same time, the facial support airbag 21 and the forehead support airbag 22 have a certain height, which is more suitable for suctioning and helps sputum drainage.

[0036] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the two groups of face support airbags 21 are symmetrically arranged, respectively located on both sides of the top of the base 1 , and the forehead support airbag 22 is located on the same side of the two groups of face support airbags 21 .

[0037] In this embodiment, since the two face-supporting airbags 21 are symmetrically arranged, the two face-supporting airbags 21 are inflated and deflated according to actual needs to make their heights different, thereby adjusting the positions of the two sides of the face.

[0038] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer sides of the face support airbag 21 and the forehead support airbag 22 are both provided with an air inlet pipe 25 and an exhaust pipe 26;

[0039] The inflation assembly 3 includes an air pump 31. The output end of the air pump 31 is connected to a connecting pipe 32. The air inlet pipes 25 outside the face support airbag 21 and the forehead support airbag 22 are both connected to the connecting pipe 32.

[0040] A solenoid valve 251 is installed on the outside of the intake pipe 25 , and an exhaust valve 261 is provided on the exhaust pipe 26 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the two face support airbags 21 and the forehead support airbag 22 are inflated by the air pump 31, and the solenoid valve 251 is opened or closed according to actual needs, so that the air inlet pipe 25 is opened or closed, so that when the air pump 31 is working, only one group of face support airbags 21 or forehead support airbags 22 is inflated, and the face support airbags 21 and the forehead support airbags 22 are deflated by controlling the exhaust valve 261 to open, thereby realizing the control of the gas amount of the two face support airbags 21 and the forehead support airbags 22.

[0042] Combine Figure 3 As shown, pressure detectors 27 are installed on the outside of the face support airbag 21 and the forehead support airbag 22.

[0043] In this embodiment, the pressure values ​​of the face support airbag 21 and the forehead support airbag 22 are detected by the pressure detector 27 to prevent damage caused by excessive internal pressure of the face support airbag 21 and the forehead support airbag 22, and also to prevent facial discomfort caused by excessive expansion.

[0044] Combine Figure 3 As shown, the outer sides of the face support airbag 21 and the forehead support airbag 22 are respectively wrapped with a flexible layer 23 , and the flexible layer 23 is a component made of foam material.

[0045] In this embodiment, the flexible layer 23 made of foam material can reduce the damage caused by the face contacting the airbag, further ensure the comfort of the skin, and prevent the skin from being crushed.

[0046] Combine Figure 4 As shown, the outer side of the base 1 is rounded.

[0047] In this embodiment, the base 1 with rounded corners on the outside can prevent the human head from rubbing against the edge of the base 1 when the head is placed on the top, thereby preventing the head from scratching the human skin.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
