Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pillow structures for clinical nursing, in particular to a multifunctional fixed medical headrest for comatose patients. Background Art

[0002] In departments such as the ICU where critically ill patients gather and there is a lack of care due to busy medical staff and sterile requirements, patients who are unconscious or have no independent consciousness often experience head loss and shaking when they wake up, which makes the patients uncomfortable and is not conducive to their recovery of consciousness.

[0003] Patent CN221356921U provides a CT positioning aid with a fixed headrest. This headrest has a fixed shape and lacks wide adaptability, making it difficult to adapt to various patient head sizes. CN221718377U provides a car fixed headrest that has high fixation but is not suitable for clinical scenarios. Due to its small groove, it does not provide a fixed position for unconscious patients. CN221513156U provides a headrest-type suspended anesthesia device for clinical use by anesthesiologists. This device has a small groove and lacks a head-flipping function. It puts a lot of pressure on the back of the head, making it unsuitable for long-term use by patients and is also expensive.

[0004] In summary, the currently available nursing headrests cannot meet the patient's requirements for head fixation, head rotation, versatility and comfort. There is currently a lack of multifunctional fixed headrests designed and manufactured specifically for clinical comatose patients. Relevant products are urgently needed to provide head fixation and intelligent care for patients who are unable to support their heads independently. Utility Model Content

The left half groove 401 and the right half groove 402 intersect with each other, and the upper surface of the contact position between the two is an arc-shaped depression to form a groove, which is the place for the back of the patient's head to be placed; a notch is set on the left vertical 2 for the left half groove 401 to pass through, and a notch is set on the right vertical 3 for the right half groove 402 to pass through. The left half groove 401 and the right half groove 402 are respectively connected to the two side edges 101 of the headrest seat 1 through the middle groove screw 102. Rotating the middle groove screw 102 can adjust the positions of the left half groove 401 and the right half groove 402 respectively, thereby adjusting the relative distance between the two to accommodate patients with different head circumferences.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the middle groove 4 is 20-25 cm long, has a gentle arc shape, and a maximum depth of 5 cm. The middle groove has a sloped design that conforms to the patient's cervical spine morphology, which can effectively reduce the patient's neck from feeling suspended in the air.

[0037] The transverse thrust member 7 comprises two components, one on each of the left and right vertical members 2 and 3. Above the notches through which the left and right half-slots pass, the components include a thrust block 701 and a thrust screw 702. The thrust screw 702 passes through the left and right vertical members 2 and 3, its inner end connected to the thrust block 701, driving the thrust block 701 in transverse motion. The inner ends of the left and right vertical members 2 and 3 each contain a cavity 703 for accommodating the thrust block 701, which acts as a guide for its movement.

[0038] The longitudinal pushing member 8 is disposed between the middle groove 4 and the neck support block 6. When the patient needs to turn his head in the supine position, the longitudinal pushing member 8 pushes the patient's mandibular angle and temporomandibular position unilaterally, assisting the transverse pushing member 7 in turning the patient's head. The longitudinal pushing members 8 are two symmetrically arranged members, which can be a screw pushing structure. As a further optimization, this embodiment adopts a multi-layer airbag structure. Each longitudinal pushing member 8 includes several airbags 801 connected in series. The airbags are connected to an external air pump via an air tube 802. The longitudinal pushing function is achieved by adjusting the inflation and deflation of each airbag separately.

[0040] Neck support block 6 Figure 5 As shown, it is an arc-shaped protrusion filled with silicone blocks or cotton wool, and cooperates with the middle groove to support the curve of the head, shoulders and neck. It is ergonomic, avoids the cervical spine from hanging in the air, and relieves the pressure on the cervical spine.

[0041] In one embodiment, the headrest seat 1, left vertical 2, right vertical 3, and middle groove 4 are all made of hard materials, including hard plastic, etc. The headrest cover 5 is put on the outer periphery of the headrest seat 1, left vertical 2, right vertical 3, and middle groove 4, and a silicone pad or filling cotton is placed in the space between the headrest cover 5 and the headrest seat 1, left vertical 2, right vertical 3, and middle groove 4, which is the filling layer 501, which avoids hard contact and ensures breathability.

[0042] In another embodiment, the middle groove 4 is supported by silicone, and the silicone is covered with latex pressure-relieving material. The left and right vertical parts are filled with high-rebound materials such as sponge and latex to help relieve the force generated during the pushing process to improve comfort.

[0043] During use, the distance between the left half groove 401 and the right half groove 402 is adjusted by the middle groove screw 102 to accommodate patients with different head circumferences. When the patient lies on his back with his face upward and needs to turn his head over, the unilateral horizontal pushing member 7 pushes one side of the patient's head, and at the same time, the pneumatic longitudinal pushing member airbag on the same side is inflated to assist in turning over and relieve pressure on the back of the head.

[0044] This product not only effectively fixes the patient's head but also helps the patient to turn his head by pushing it up, relieving the pressure of long-term compression on the back of the head and improving the patient's comfort.
