Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical assistance, in particular to a prone position sideways adjuster for children. Background Art
[0002] Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung disease caused by intrapulmonary and / or extrapulmonary causes, characterized by persistent hypoxemia. It has attracted considerable attention due to its high mortality rate. Prone positioning is a common treatment for severe lung diseases like ARDS. It can improve oxygenation, reduce hypercapnia, promote lung-protective ventilation strategies, and improve right heart function. It is crucial for children requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. Prone positioning, in layman's terms, involves placing the patient on their stomach for ventilation. By changing the patient's position, the lung tissue is redistributed under varying gravity, allowing mechanical ventilation in the prone position. The main principle behind this ventilation is to effectively improve the ventilation-perfusion ratio, recruit dorsally collapsed alveoli, facilitate gravity-assisted drainage of lung and airway secretions, and reduce pressure from the heart and mediastinum on the sagging lung areas.
[0003] Existing technology usually uses quilts, pillows or other items to support the patient's body when adjusting the prone position, and elevates the patient's body to ensure the prone position. However, due to the low bearing capacity of these items, the patient's prone position angle is easily changed, which cannot achieve the treatment effect. When changing the body position, the quilt and items need to be taken out and placed on the other side, which is troublesome and wastes manpower. Existing prone positions usually include full prone position, semi-prone position and sitting prone position. Full prone position and semi-prone position are commonly used. Prone ventilation usually requires lying for 12 hours. Prone position for a long time may cause discomfort to the patient and easily lead to complications such as skin pressure injury, muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, etc. Therefore, the prone position needs to be changed regularly to avoid pressure injury. In addition, since child patients have strong independent activity ability, they may not be able to maintain the prone position for a long time due to restlessness, and may easily push the quilt, pillow or other items used for support away from the body and cannot maintain the prone position. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a prone position side adjuster for children, which is convenient for adjusting the prone position inclination angle, improves the patient's comfort, and ensures the patient's body position, so as to solve the technical problems that the existing technology uses quilts and other devices to keep the patient in the prone position, is difficult to adjust the body position, and is not suitable for children.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:
[0006] A prone position side adjuster for children, comprising a support plate, an adjustment device, a partition net, a fixing device, and a bracket; the support plate is groove-shaped; two adjustment devices are symmetrically mounted inside the support plate and connected to both ends of the bracket, and the bracket can be adjusted to tilt left or right by the adjustment device; the middle of the bracket is hollow; the partition net is fixedly mounted in the middle of the bracket, and tilts the partition net when the bracket tilts; the fixing device is connected to both sides of the bracket; The adjusting device includes a telescopic rod, a support rod and a slot; the slot is opened on the middle part of the inner wall of the support plate; one end of the telescopic rod is engaged with the slot, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bracket; the support rod at the left end is engaged with the slot to adjust the height of the telescopic rod, and the two ends of the telescopic rod are rotatably connected to the support plate and the bracket, and the support rod is rotatably connected to the bracket, so that the left end of the bracket can be raised to tilt the partition net to the right. When the partition net needs to be tilted to the left, the device is reset, and the telescopic rod and the support rod at the right end are adjusted to tilt the partition net to the left. The patient lies prone on the partition net, and the child patient is fixed on the partition net by a fixing device to prevent the child patient from moving independently. The body position of the child patient can be changed by adjusting the inclination angle of the partition net, so that the lung tissue can be redistributed under different gravity, thereby achieving the therapeutic effect.
[0007] Furthermore, the telescopic rod comprises an inner rod, an outer rod, and a clamping block; the top end of the outer rod is provided with a swivel, the inner diameter of the swivel being larger than that of the bracket, and the outer rod being rotatably connected to the bracket via the swivel; the bottom end of the inner rod is rotatably connected to the support plate; the inner rod and the outer rod are slidably connected; the clamping block is in an inverted "Ω" shape, fixedly mounted inside the inner rod, with both ends extending from the inner rod; the outer rod is provided with a slot that matches the clamping block. The upper end of the inverted "Ω"-shaped clamping block can be retracted into the inner rod by external pressure. To adjust the height of the telescopic rod, the clamping block on the inner rod is manually pressed in, and the outer rod is pulled up to slide. After adjusting to the appropriate height, the clamping block rebounds and extends out of the corresponding slot, limiting the position and fixing the height of the inner and outer rods. The design of the outer rod being rotatably connected to the bracket at the top end and the support plate at the bottom end facilitates adjustment of the bracket's tilt angle.
[0008] Furthermore, the securing device includes a securing cloth A, a securing cloth B, and a connecting buckle; securing cloth A and securing cloth B have a certain degree of elasticity; one end of each securing cloth A and securing cloth B is mounted on opposite ends of the bracket, respectively, and the other ends are connected to each other via the connecting buckle. The child patient is placed in a prone position on the partition net in the middle of the bracket, and the ends of securing cloth A and securing cloth B are pulled together and connected via the connecting buckle. This wraps the child and secures them to the partition net, preventing the child from being unable to maintain the prone position due to independent movement.
[0009] Furthermore, the stent is in a "mouth" shape when viewed from above, and is covered with foam cotton on the surface. The softness of the foam cotton wraps around the stent, preventing the child patient from being injured by direct contact with the stent made of hard materials.
[0010] Furthermore, the partition net is an elastic net, and the adjustment device can adjust the angle range from 0 to 60 degrees. The adaptability of the elastic net can provide comfortable support for the child, reduce pressure and discomfort on the child's chest, and make the child more relaxed when lying prone. The tilt angle of the prone position for children can be adjusted from 0 to 60 degrees, which can avoid complications such as pressure injuries caused by lying prone at a fixed angle for a long time.
[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment device is provided with two, both of which are installed in the support plate. The two adjustment devices installed side by side can increase the stability of the device.
[0012] This device can also be used to help child patients turn sideways, making it convenient for them to collect the secretions from the lungs and airways of children who are ventilated in the prone position.
[0013] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0014] During use, the child patient is placed in a prone position on the partition net in the middle of the bracket, the two ends of the fixing cloth A and the fixing cloth B are pulled together, and connected through the connecting buckles. The child patient can be wrapped and fixed on the partition net, so that the patient lies on the elastic partition net in a fully prone position. The fixing cloth A and the fixing cloth B can fix the patient to prevent the patient from being unable to maintain the prone posture due to independent movement. When the prone position angle needs to be adjusted, press the block of the telescopic rod to retract it into the inside of the inner rod, and the medical staff blocks the slot with their hands to prevent the block from popping out at non-adjusted angles. After adjusting the inclination angle of the bracket, one end of the support rod is clamped in the slot for support. The block extends to the corresponding slot to limit the inner rod and the outer rod. The telescopic rod can connect the device to the support plate to prevent the bracket from detaching from the support plate, and at the same time further stabilize the bracket.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
