[0002] In emergency medical situations, such as cardiac arrest, suffocation, or drowning, patients may be unable to breathe normally due to airway obstruction, leading to a sharp drop in blood oxygen saturation and threatening their lives. In such cases, rapidly and effectively opening the airway is crucial. It ensures that oxygen can smoothly enter the lungs, maintaining the patient's basic vital signs and buying valuable time for subsequent treatment.

[0003] When rescuing a person in distress, the first step is to keep the person or patient in an open airway position before administering oxygen. It is often difficult for a rescuer to simultaneously fix the patient's position and administer oxygen. Therefore, a pillow that can fix the patient in an open position is needed. However, different patients have different neck lengths and head heights, and existing pillows that fix the patient's position are of fixed height and cannot better adapt to different patients.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-4This embodiment provides an airway opening and fixing pillow support, which includes: a base 1, the upper surface of which is inclined; a neck support assembly 2, which includes an arc-shaped neck support 21 and a lifting device 22, the lifting device 22 being installed at the high point of the inclined surface of the upper surface of the base 1, the arc-shaped neck support 21 being installed on the lifting device 22, and the lifting device 22 driving the arc-shaped neck support 21 to move up and down; and a head fixing assembly 3, which is installed on both sides at the low point of the inclined surface of the upper surface of the base 1.

[0032] Specifically, in the event of an emergency of respiratory obstruction, the patient's head is placed on the base 1 of the device. Because the upper surface of the base 1 is sloping, the patient's head is tilted back, and the neck rests on the curved neck brace 21. The patient's head is fixed to the base 1 by the head fixation component 3. Then, the lifting device 22 is adjusted according to the height of the patient's head and neck to raise the curved neck brace 21 until the patient's head reaches the required tilt angle for treatment, keeping the airway open. Then, the exhalation bag is used to ventilate the patient for resuscitation. The adjustable height curved neck brace 21 of the device can fix the patient in a suitable resuscitation position according to different patients' neck height or head shape. At the same time, the support of the curved neck brace 21 provides a certain degree of protection for the patient's neck.

[0033] In some possible embodiments, the upper surface of the arc-shaped neck support 21 is arc-shaped, and the lower surface of the arc-shaped neck support 21 is an inclined surface adapted to the upper surface of the base 1. The lifting device 22 includes two electric push rods 221, one end of which is installed side by side at a distance on the inclined surface of the upper surface of the base 1; the electric push rods 221 are fitted onto the bottom of the arc-shaped neck support 21, and the bottom of the arc-shaped neck support 21 is provided with two grooves corresponding to the two electric push rods 221, and the other end of the two electric push rods 221 is respectively connected to the two grooves, the depth of the two grooves being the same as the height of the two electric push rods 221. A switch is provided on the base 1, and the switch is electrically connected to the two electric push rods 221.

[0034] Specifically, the curved shape of the upper surface of the curved neck brace 21 makes it more comfortable for the patient's neck to rest on the curved surface. The electric push rod 221 raises and lowers the curved neck brace 21. When the electric push rod 221 is retracted, the two electric push rods 221 are respectively fitted into the two grooves at the bottom of the curved neck brace 21. When it is lowered to its lowest position, because the lower surface of the curved neck brace 21 is an inclined structure adapted to the base 1, the bottom surface of the curved neck brace 21 and the upper surface of the base 1 fit together tightly, and the height of the curved neck brace 21 is relatively low. When the electric push rod 221 is extended, the movable end of the electric push rod 221 supports the curved neck brace 21, increasing the height of the curved neck brace 21. The electric push rod 221 is easy to control and simple to operate. In an emergency, the raising and lowering can be completed simply by flipping a switch.

[0035] In some possible implementations, the head fixing assembly 3 includes an adjustable strap 31, one end of which is fixedly installed on one side of the lower slope of the base 1, and the other end of which is detachably installed on the other side of the lower slope of the base 1 via a buckle; the head fixing assembly 3 also includes a net bag 32, with a loop on each side of the net bag 32, and the two loops are looped onto the adjustable strap 31.

[0036] Specifically, the adjustable strap 31 can be adjusted according to the head size of different patients. When in use, the patient's head is first placed on the base 1, the adjustable strap 31 is wrapped around the patient's forehead and connected to the other side of the base 1 through the insertion port to fix the patient's head. The net bag 32 is attached to the adjustable strap 31 by two loops. When the adjustable strap 31 fixes the patient's head, the net bag 32 can fix the patient's forehead to further prevent the patient's head from tilting.

[0037] In some possible implementations, two fixing straps 4 are arranged crosswise on both sides of the middle part of the base 1. Both fixing straps 4 are elastic straps. One end of the two fixing straps 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the middle part of the base 1, and the other end of the two fixing straps 4 is detachably connected to the other side of the middle part of the base 1 by Velcro.

[0038] Specifically, when the patient lies down on the device, a breathing bag needs to be worn for resuscitation. During this period, the rescuer needs to continuously press the breathing bag close to the patient's mouth and nose, which increases the rescuer's workload. Two adjustable fixing straps 4 are arranged in a cross pattern to fix the breathing bag. When the breathing bag is attached to the patient's mouth and nose, the other end of the two fixing straps 4 is wrapped around the breathing bag and then fixed to the base 1 with Velcro. Velcro is more convenient to install and use.

[0039] In some possible implementations, the curved neck brace 21 is made of a rigid material, and the curved upper surface of the curved neck brace 21 is covered with a rubber pad.

[0040] Specifically, the rigid, curved neck brace 21 will not deform after repeated use, providing better support. The rubber pad covering the upper surface of the curved neck brace 21 increases softness and comfort during use.

[0041] In some possible implementations, an arc-shaped groove is provided at the lower part of the upper surface of the base 1. A soft padding layer is provided on the upper surface of the base 1.

[0042] Specifically, when using the device, the patient's head lies on the lower part of the upper surface of the base 1. An arc-shaped groove is provided at the lower part of the upper surface of the base 1, and the patient's head is recessed in the arc-shaped groove, which provides simple positional restriction for the patient's head. At the same time, the contact area with the patient's head is larger. The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a soft padding layer, which makes the patient's head more comfortable.
