Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical pillows, in particular to a multifunctional medical pillow. Background Art

[0002] Patients with stroke, coma, and prolonged bed rest are highly susceptible to lung infections. If lung infections are poorly controlled, they can lead to fever and increased exhaustion, resulting in mild malnutrition and, in severe cases, acute exacerbations and prolonged hospitalization, even life-threatening conditions. Multiple injuries and multiple organ failure can cause ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), resulting in prolonged oxygenation. These conditions are common clinically. Patients in these situations require lateral decubitus drainage and prolonged prone positioning to improve oxygenation. Generally, lateral decubitus patients require two to three pillows, while prone patients require at least seven, and medical pillows are insufficient. Furthermore, conventional pillows contaminated with urine and feces in wards cannot be cleaned promptly, often resulting in insufficient pillow supplies. Upon transfer or discharge, all used pillowcases and pillow cores must be thoroughly and professionally cleaned and disinfected, resulting in a shortage of medical pillows, impacting the availability of other patients.

[0003] Based on this, it is urgent for those skilled in the art to provide a multifunctional medical pillow that is easy to clean and suitable for use by comatose patients and long-term bedridden patients. Utility Model Content

This inclination design allows the patient to raise one side of the body while undergoing prone ventilation, with the other side pressed against the bed surface. The lowest point of the trunk pillow is pressed against the patient's trunk midline, making the patient more comfortable when lying on their side.

[0010] Furthermore, a fourth rotating buckle (14) is provided at one end of the lower limb pillow (3) at a position opposite to the third rotating buckle (13) on the trunk pillow (2), the third rotating buckle (13) and the fourth rotating buckle (14) are mutually connected as snap buckles, and a third medium hole (8) is provided on the lower limb pillow (3). The design of the rotating snap buckle facilitates the lower limb pillow and the trunk pillow to be turned over at will according to the patient's needs.

[0011] Furthermore, the headrest (1), trunk pillow (2) and lower limb pillow (3) are filled with air or water, and the air or water enters the headrest (1), trunk pillow (2) and lower limb pillow (3) through the medium hole. This design can determine the degree of inflation or water injection of each part of the medical pillow according to the patient's body shape and the condition of the chest and abdominal tubes, thereby further ensuring the patient's comfort. At the same time, it can ensure that the patient's chest has enough space to allow the chest to rise and fall in an orderly manner during breathing, alleviate prone ventilation for special groups such as obese patients and patients undergoing abdominal surgery, and reduce the probability of pressure on the abdomen, chest and genitals.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a storage bag (10), which is detachably arranged at the bottom of the tail end of the lower limb pillow (3). The arrangement of the storage bag is conducive to the storage of the medical pillow.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Example

[0028] Refer to the attached Figure 1-3 The multifunctional medical pillow of this embodiment includes a headrest 1, a torso pillow 2, and a lower limb pillow 3. The headrest 1 is C-shaped, with a first medium hole 6 at one end of the headrest 1 and a first rotating buckle 11 at the other end. An inward-facing auricle portion 5 is provided on the inner side of the middle of the headrest 1, and an inward-facing forehead portion 4 is provided on the inner side of the end away from the first rotating buckle 11. The number of the inward-facing forehead portion 4 and the number of the inward-facing auricle portion 5 are both two, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the headrest 1.

[0029] The torso pillow 2 is a fan-shaped cylinder, with a second rotating buckle 12 provided at one end of the axis side of the fan-shaped cylinder, a second medium hole 7 provided on the curved side, and a third rotating buckle 13 provided on the bottom surface of the fan-shaped cylinder opposite to the second rotating buckle 12. The inclination angle of the torso pillow 2 is 0-60°;

[0030] A fourth rotating buckle 14 is provided at one end of the lower limb pillow 3 at a position opposite to the third rotating buckle 13 on the torso pillow 2, and a third medium hole 8 is provided on the lower limb pillow 3; the first rotating buckle 11 and the second rotating buckle 12, the third rotating buckle 13 and the fourth rotating buckle 14 are all mother-and-child buckles, and the headrest 1, torso pillow 2 and lower limb pillow 3 are connected in sequence through the above-mentioned rotating buckles. The headrest 1, torso pillow 2 and lower limb pillow 3 are filled with air or water, and the air or water enters the headrest 1, torso pillow 2 and lower limb pillow 3 through the medium hole.

[0031] This embodiment also includes a storage bag 10, which is detachably mounted on the bottom end of the lower limb pillow 3. The bag 10 has an opening and a hidden buckle 9, which is a pair of parent-child hidden buckles. The opening facilitates turning the bag 10 over when storing. The headrest 1, torso pillow 2, lower limb pillow 3, and storage bag 10 are all made of waterproof materials.

[0032] The use process and beneficial effects of the multifunctional medical pillow of this embodiment:

[0033] One of the usage states of the multifunctional medical pillow in this embodiment is shown as follows: Figure 2 As shown, this state is a schematic diagram of the use state when the patient is in the left side lying position; another use state is as shown in Figure 3 As shown, this state is a schematic diagram of the use state when the patient is in the right side lying position;

[0034] According to the patient's condition, the headrest 1, torso pillow 2 and lower limb pillow 3 are inflated or filled with water through the medium holes respectively, and the filling degree of gas and water in the headrest 1, torso pillow 2 and lower limb pillow 3 is controlled to better meet the needs of the patient. The inflation or water filling degree of each part of the medical pillow can be determined according to the patient's body shape and the condition of the chest and abdominal pipelines. Some parts can be inflated and some parts can be filled with water; thereby further ensuring the patient's comfort and ensuring that the patient's chest has enough space to allow the chest cavity to rise and fall in an orderly manner during breathing, alleviating prone ventilation for special groups such as obese / abdominal postoperative patients, and reducing the probability of compression of the abdomen, chest and genitals; by controlling the inflation or water filling degree of the torso pillow 2, the slope of the torso pillow 2 can be controlled. When the patient is undergoing prone ventilation, one side of the body will be raised and the other side will be against the bed surface. The lowest part of the torso pillow is close to the midline of the patient's torso, making the patient more comfortable when lying on his side. If the patient's condition permits standard prone ventilation, the trunk pillow 2 and lower limb pillow 3 can be disassembled to ensure that the trunk and limbs are separated from the bed surface, providing more space for breathing and abdomen.

[0035] The headrest 1, torso pillow 2, and lower limb pillow 3 of this multifunctional medical pillow are connected by rotating snap fasteners. Once connected, the components can be flipped over as needed. The storage bag 10 in this embodiment facilitates partial or complete storage of the medical pillow when not in use. Furthermore, if contaminated, the multifunctional medical pillow can be quickly cleaned, disinfected, and replaced promptly.

[0036] When the patient only needs ventilation in the side-lying position, the headrest 1 can be temporarily uninflated or unfilled with water. The headrest 1 can be removed or flipped under the trunk pillow 2 by rotating the snap fastener. Only the trunk pillow 2 and the lower limb pillow 3 remain inflated or filled with water. To ensure that the patient can remain in the high side-lying position for a long time to reduce the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia, when using a medical pillow in this state, the highest point of the sloped structure is directly against the patient's torso. When the pillow is fully inflated, it can ensure that the chest has sufficient support in the side-lying position. In this case, the quality of the patient's side-lying position is guaranteed, and the patient's back will not fall back to the bed surface in a short period of time, which will reduce the effect of side-lying.

[0037] In summary, the multifunctional medical pillow of this embodiment is easy to clean, more convenient and comfortable for patients to use, easy to disinfect, clean and replace, and easy to store. At the same time, it can reduce medical consumables and reduce the workload of medical staff.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and an explanation of the technical principles employed.
