Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of prone ventilation technology, and in particular relates to a newborn prone ventilation fixation device. Background Technology

[0002] Prone ventilation refers to the use of a turning bed, turning device, or manual turning to allow the patient to breathe or receive mechanical ventilation in a prone position. Its main principle is to effectively improve the imbalance between ventilation and blood flow in the lungs, re-expand collapsed alveoli on the dorsal side, and allow secretions in the lungs and trachea to be drained well under the action of gravity. It can also reduce the pressure of the heart and mediastinum on the drooping lung area. For patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, it is a simple, economical and effective treatment method.

[0003] When performing prone ventilation on a newborn, the caregiver needs to move the newborn to one side of the bed, keep the newborn in a prone position with the head turned to one side, place a soft pillow on the newborn's chest and abdomen, a second soft pillow on the lower limbs, and a third pillow on the head. During this process, the newborn needs to maintain its functional position. However, newborns may resist, and when performing prone ventilation, they tend to roll over and cannot maintain the prone position for a long time, thus making prone ventilation impossible. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issue that when performing prone ventilation on newborns, caregivers need to move the newborn to one side of the bed to maintain a prone position with their head turned to one side, placing a soft pillow on the newborn's chest and abdomen, a second soft pillow on their lower limbs, and a third pillow on their head. During this process, the newborn needs to maintain their functional position, but they often resist and tend to roll over, making it impossible to maintain the prone position for an extended period, thus hindering prone ventilation. The purpose of this invention is to provide a newborn prone ventilation fixation device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a neonatal prone ventilation and fixation device, including a prone bed, three movable pillows slidably disposed on the prone bed, and a fixing component above the prone bed for fixing the neonate.

[0006] In one example, a protective plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the prone bed, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective plate. The two sides of the support plate are arc-shaped, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the support plate. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate, and a first servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame. The main shaft of the first servo motor is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and the fixing assembly is located on the rotating rod.

[0007] In one example, the support plate has a square notch for avoiding the fixing component.

[0008] In one example, there are two fixing components. Each fixing component includes a support rod, which is fixedly connected to a rotating rod. One end of the support rod is fixedly connected to a fixing plate, and both ends of the fixing plate are fixedly connected to mounting plates. A round rod is fixedly connected between the two mounting plates, and two sliding blocks are slidably connected to the round rod. The lower ends of the two sliding blocks are fixedly connected to an arc-shaped pressure plate.

[0009] In one example, a rubber sleeve is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the arc-shaped pressure plate, and an inflation device is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate. A hose is connected between the inflation device and the two rubber sleeves.

[0010] In one example, a threaded rod is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates. The threaded rod has two sets of opposite threads. The threaded rod passes through a sliding block and is threadedly connected to the sliding block. A second servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of one of the fixed plates. The spindle of the second servo motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod.

[0011] In one example, the movable pillow includes a base plate and a pillow. A square through groove is provided on one side of the protective plate, and three sliding seats are slidably connected in the square through groove. The sliding seats are respectively fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0012] In one example, a handle is fixedly connected to one side of each of the three sliding seats.

[0013] The newborn prone ventilation and fixation device proposed in this utility model can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Firstly, by setting up a rubber sleeve, the first servo motor drives the support rod to rotate, causing the arc-shaped pressure plate to rotate to a horizontal state. The inflation device inflates the rubber sleeve downwards, making it bulge and cover the newborn's body from above. The rubber sleeve only contacts the newborn, restricting the newborn's rolling and keeping the newborn in a prone position, which facilitates prone ventilation. At the same time, the softness of the rubber sleeve can avoid excessive pressure on the newborn, preventing compression that could lead to breathing difficulties. In addition, this device has a total of four rubber sleeves, which fix the newborn from four different positions. As long as one of the rubber sleeves can be attached to the newborn's body, the newborn can be fixed, and it is not necessary for all the rubber sleeves to be attached to the newborn, thus improving the device's fault tolerance.

[0015] Secondly, by setting up movable pillows, when adjusting the three movable pillows, hold the handle and push the sliding seat to move on the protective plate to adjust the position of the three movable pillows respectively. Through the sliding seat, the movable pillows can slide on the protective plate to prevent them from falling off the prone bed. At the same time, by moving the three movable pillows, the distance between the movable pillows can be adjusted to accommodate the different body lengths of newborns. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a neonatal prone ventilation and fixation device, including a prone bed 1, three movable pillows 2 slidably mounted on the prone bed 1, a fixing assembly 3 above the prone bed 1 for fixing the neonate, a protective plate 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the prone bed 1, a support plate 5 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective plate 4, the two sides of the support plate 5 being arc-shaped, a rotating rod 6 rotatably connected to the inner side of the support plate 5, a mounting frame 7 fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 5, a first servo motor 8 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 7, the main shaft of the first servo motor 8 being fixedly connected to the rotating rod 6, and two fixing assemblies 3 located on the rotating rod 6. Each fixing assembly 3 includes a support rod 31 fixedly connected to the rotating rod 6, a fixing plate 32 fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 31, mounting plates 33 fixedly connected to both ends of the fixing plate 32, a round rod 34 fixedly connected between the two mounting plates 33, two sliding blocks 35 slidably connected to the round rod 34, and an arc-shaped pressure plate 36 fixedly connected to the lower end of the two sliding blocks 35. A rubber sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the arc-shaped pressure plate 36, and an inflation device 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate 32. A hose 12 is connected between the inflation device 11 and the two rubber sleeves 10. The three movable pillows 2 are moved and the distance between the movable pillows 2 is adjusted to accommodate the body length of the newborn. The newborn is placed prone on the movable pillows 2. The first servo motor 8 drives the support rod 31 to rotate, so that the arc-shaped pressure plate 36 rotates to a horizontal state. The inflation device 11 inflates the rubber sleeves 10 downwards, and the rubber sleeves 10 bulge out, covering the newborn's body from above. The rubber sleeves 10 only contact the newborn, restricting the newborn's rolling and keeping the newborn in a prone position, which is convenient for prone ventilation. At the same time, the softness of the rubber sleeves can avoid excessive pressure on the newborn, avoiding compression of the newborn and causing breathing difficulties. At the same time, the surface of the rubber sleeves 10 is still relatively soft after bulging, which greatly improves the comfort of the newborn. If the material is too hard, the newborn may resist when moving, making it impossible to continue prone ventilation.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 5 has a square notch 9, which is used to avoid the fixing component 3. When not in use, the gas in the rubber sleeve 10 is released, the rubber sleeve 10 is contracted, the rotating rod 6 is reversed, which drives the support rod 31 to reverse, making the support rod 31 vertical, and the fixing component 3 enters the square notch 9. At this time, there is no obstruction above the prone bed 1, which will not cause obstruction to adults, making it convenient for adults such as medical staff to provide medical care or medical observation for newborns.

[0026] like Figure 3As shown, a threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected between two fixed plates 32. The threaded rod 13 has two sets of opposite threads. The threaded rod 13 passes through the sliding block 35 and is threadedly connected to the sliding block 35. A second servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the fixed plates 32. The main shaft of the second servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 13. In use, the two fixed components 3 are located between the three movable pillows 2. Before use, the threaded rod 13 is rotated by the second servo motor 14. The threaded rod 13 controls the sliding block 35 to slide, adjusting the position of the rubber sleeve 10. For different newborns with different body shapes, this device has four rubber sleeves 10, which fix the newborn from four different positions. As long as there is a rubber sleeve 10 that can be attached to the newborn's body, the newborn can be fixed. It is not necessary for all rubber sleeves 10 to be attached to the newborn, which improves the fault tolerance of the device. At the same time, the device can adapt to newborns of different body lengths, increasing the adaptability of the device and making it convenient to use.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the movable pillow 2 includes a base plate 21 and a pillow 15. A square through groove is provided on one side of the protective plate 4. Three sliding seats 16 are slidably connected in the square through groove. The sliding seats 16 are fixedly connected to the base plate 21 respectively. A handle 17 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the three sliding seats 16. When adjusting the three movable pillows 2, hold the handle 17 and push the sliding seat 16 to move on the protective plate 4 to adjust the position of the three movable pillows 2 respectively. Through the sliding seat 16, the movable pillow 2 can slide on the protective plate 4 to prevent the movable pillow 2 from falling off the prone bed 1.

[0028] Working principle: Hold handle 17 and push sliding seat 16 to move on protective plate 4. Adjust the position of the three movable pillows 2 to adapt to the body length of the newborn. Place the newborn prone on the movable pillows 2. The first servo motor 8 drives the support rod 31 to rotate, so that the arc-shaped pressure plate 36 rotates to a horizontal state. The second servo motor 14 drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate. The threaded rod 13 controls the sliding block 35 to slide, adjusting the position of the rubber sleeve 10. The inflation device 11 inflates the rubber sleeve 10 downwards, making the rubber sleeve 10 bulge and cover the newborn from above, restricting the newborn's movement and keeping the newborn in a prone, ventilated position. When not in use, release the gas in the rubber sleeve 10, the rubber sleeve 10 shrinks, the rotating rod 6 reverses, driving the support rod 31 to reverse, making the support rod 31 vertical, and the fixing component 3 enters the square notch 9.
