Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a prone position pad for infant ECMO, belonging to the field of medical supplies. Background Art

[0002] In the medical field, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology for infants is an important treatment option, providing essential life support, especially for infants with severely impaired cardiopulmonary function. However, during ECMO treatment, infants must remain in the prone position for extended periods, keeping the chest cage suspended and the lungs fully inflated to facilitate lung function recovery and improved oxygenation. Therefore, designing a prone position pad for infant ECMO is particularly important. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a prone position pad for infant ECMO to solve the problem.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a prone position pad for infant ECMO, comprising a headrest, a body pillow, an opening, and a leg support; the opening is arranged in the middle of the body pillow, and the body pillow is used to support the edge of the infant's torso so that the infant's chest corresponds to the opening; the headrest is arranged on one side of the head of the body pillow to support the infant's head; the leg support is arranged at the bottom edge of the body pillow to support the infant's thighs.

[0005] Preferably, the headrest, body pillow and leg support are all wrapped with soft materials on the side corresponding to the baby.

[0006] Preferably, a ligament is provided between the headrest and the bodyrest so that the headrest can be folded into the opening.

[0007] Preferably, the body pillow is provided with an extended pad corresponding to the position of the baby's shoulder, and the extended pad faces the opening.

[0008] Preferably, at least one fixing belt is provided on any one side or both sides of the body pillow for fixing the baby's back.

[0009] Preferably, the length of the leg support is not less than 10 cm.

[0010] Preferably, the exposure depth is not less than 5 cm.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the extension pad is 3 to 5 cm.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] The headrest, body pillow and leg support of this utility model are all wrapped with soft materials on the side corresponding to the baby, which increases the comfort of contact with the baby's skin and reduces the discomfort caused by lying prone for a long time; the opening in the middle of the body pillow is concave, so that the baby's chest corresponds to the opening, providing enough space for the baby's lungs to fully expand, which is conducive to the recovery of lung function and improvement of oxygenation, and is also conducive to promoting the drainage of secretions, significantly improving the control rate of lung infection, and helping to enhance the treatment effect of ECMO. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Other features, objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the non-limiting embodiments with reference to the following drawings:

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a prone position pad for infant ECMO in the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0017] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a technical solution for a prone position pad for infant ECMO, comprising a headrest 2, a body pillow 1, an opening 3, and a leg support 4.

[0018] Preferably, in order to improve the comfort of the baby, the headrest 2, body pillow 1 and leg support 4 corresponding to the baby are all wrapped with soft materials.

[0019] The opening 3 is arranged in the middle of the body pillow 1. The body pillow 1 is used to support the edge of the baby's torso so that the baby's chest corresponds to the opening 3. The opening 3 is concave. Furthermore, the depth of the opening is 5 cm, so that the baby is in an overhead state. There is enough space to keep the baby's chest in a suspended state, and the lungs are fully expanded, which is conducive to the recovery of lung function and improvement of oxygenation.

[0020] Furthermore, in order to enable the baby to maintain a good prone posture, the headrest 2 is arranged on the side of the head of the body pillow 1 to support the baby's head.

[0021] The leg support 4 is arranged at the bottom edge of the body pillow 1, and the length of the leg support is 10 cm; it is used to support the baby's thigh root.

[0022] Because infants lack independent ability, in one embodiment, fixing belts 5 are provided on both sides of the body pillow 1 to fix the infant's back; wherein two wide cloth ropes are fixed on one side of the fixing belt 5 .

[0023] Furthermore, to facilitate carrying and storage, a ligament 21 is provided between the headrest 2 and the body pillow 1 , so that the headrest 2 can be folded into the opening 3 , and then the headrest 2 is fixed by a fixing belt 5 .

[0024] Furthermore, in order to enhance the supporting effect, the body pillow 1 is provided with an extension pad 11 corresponding to the baby's shoulder position. Furthermore, the length of the extension pad is 3 to 5 cm, and the extension pad 11 faces the opening 3. The extension pad 11 is utilized to increase the supporting area for the baby's shoulders to obtain a good overhead effect; wherein the side of the extension pad 11 corresponding to the baby is also wrapped with soft material.

[0025] Working principle: When in use, unfasten the fixing belt 5, take out the headrest 2, and then place the baby prone on the body pillow 1, with the baby's chest corresponding to the opening 3, the shoulders corresponding to the extended pad 11, and the head corresponding to the headrest 2; after the medical staff adjusts the baby's posture, use the fixing belt 5 and tie the knot to fix the baby.
