Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical nursing supplies especially to an adjustable pillow. BACKGROUND

[0002] For the patient who is caused by muscle weakness, coma, paralysis and other reasons to lie in bed for a long time, due to the long-term compression of local tissues, it is easy to cause pressure ulcers or pressure injuries such as continuous ischemia, hypoxia, malnutrition and even tissue ulceration and necrosis, which affects the rehabilitation of the patient and brings the patient double blows of physical pain and economic pressure. Pressure ulcers are a common problem in rehabilitation treatment and nursing. According to relevant literature reports, about 60,000 people die of pressure ulcer complications every year. In order to reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcers, anti-pressure ulcer pillows with concave holes or annular protrusions on the top are often used in clinical practice. The patient rests on the anti-pressure ulcer pillow, which can make the back of the patient's head suspended, thereby achieving the effect of local decompression and effectively avoiding the formation of pressure ulcers. However, the ears of the human body are more prone to pressure ulcers or pressure injuries due to the lack of subcutaneous tissue buffer compared to other parts of the body, and the existing anti-pressure ulcer pillows are only suitable for supine position. When the patient is lying on one side, the ear directly contacts the pillow, which can easily cause pressure blisters or pressure ulcers in the patient's ear, which is not conducive to the rehabilitation treatment of the patient.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model with publication number CN210472466U discloses a special decompression pillow for shaped ear pillow part. The decompression pillow sets pillow part holes in the middle of the top surface of the pillow body and ear part holes on both sides of the pillow part holes corresponding to the ear part positions of the human body, thereby effectively preventing the pillow part and the external auditory meatus from being compressed when lying on one side and avoiding the occurrence of pressure ulcers. However, different patients have different needs for the height and inclination angle of the pillow. The height and inclination angle of the above-mentioned decompression pillow are not adjustable, which affects the use effect and easily reduces the sleep quality of the patient.

[0004] How to solve the above-mentioned problems has become a technical problem to be solved urgently. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
