[0002] Tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy is a common treatment for tonsillar hypertrophy and adenoid hyperplasia. With the increasing number of patients, the operating room places great emphasis on high-quality nursing care for this type of surgery. Tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy requires a specific surgical position: the patient must lie supine with the neck hyperextended and the head tilted back and down. During the procedure, the tonsils and adenoids are exposed inside the mouth using an oral gag. Positioning aids include a shoulder pillow, a head-stabilizing pillow, and a neck pad with varying thicknesses of drape depending on the patient's weight.

[0003] Currently, operating room positioning equipment is standardized and not differentiated based on weight, failing to meet the needs of patients of varying weights. For smaller, lighter children, such as those weighing 14-20kg, suitable positioning pads are unavailable, necessitating the creation of custom-made shoulder and neck pillows to ensure proper head and shoulder contact, thus maximizing surgical exposure while protecting the cervical spine. Preoperatively, these children are often anxious and prone to movement. After anesthesia, the assembled positioning pads easily deform, requiring frequent readjustment of the shoulder and neck pads and repositioning the child's upper body, increasing the risk of unplanned extubation and cervical spine injury.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides an integrated positioning pad for tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy, which includes: a shoulder pad assembly 1, which includes a first shoulder pad 11 and a second shoulder pad 12, the second shoulder pad 12 being detachably mounted on the upper surface of the first shoulder pad 11, and both the first shoulder pad 11 and the second shoulder pad 12 having a first Velcro surface 13 facing the same side in the width direction; a neck inflatable pillow 2, which has a first Velcro hook surface 21 mounted on one side, and the neck inflatable pillow 2 being detachably mounted on any one of the first Velcro surfaces 13 via the first Velcro hook surface 21; and a head fixation assembly 3, which includes two crescent-shaped pillows 31, which are movably mounted on the side of the neck inflatable pillow 2 away from the shoulder pad assembly 1 at intervals.

[0035] Specifically, when a tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy is required, shoulder pads are first selected according to the child's body size. When the child is large, the first shoulder pad 11 and the second shoulder pad 12 are stacked and installed. The neck inflatable pillow 2 is then attached to the first Velcro hook side 13 in the width direction of the second shoulder pad 12 via the first Velcro hook side 21. The neck inflatable pillow 2 is then inflated, with the child's shoulders resting on the second shoulder pad 12 and the child's neck resting on the neck inflatable pillow 2. The two crescent-shaped pillows 31 are adjusted and placed under the child's head, with the child's head resting on the crescent-shaped pillows 31. The curvatures of the two crescent-shaped pillows 31 are set opposite each other, so that the child's head is properly positioned when lying on the crescent-shaped pillows. The lower part is recessed into the arc-shaped grooves formed by the two crescent-shaped pillows 31, providing support for the child's head and helping the child maintain a hyperextended neck and head tilted back and down posture to facilitate surgery. When the child is small, the second shoulder pad 12 can be removed, and the neck inflatable pillow 2 can be installed on the first Velcro surface 13 on the first shoulder pad 11, with a lower lifting height, suitable for small children. This device selects shoulder pads according to the different body sizes of the children, and supports the neck and head at the same time, ensuring that the child is in a position that is conducive to surgery and comfortable during the operation, ensuring the smooth progress of the operation, and avoiding the risk of unplanned extubation and cervical spine injury caused by adjusting the posture.

[0036] In some possible implementations, the upper surface of the neck inflatable pillow 2 is arc-shaped, and the side of the neck inflatable pillow 2 away from the crescent pillow 31 is flat.

[0037] Specifically, the curved neck inflatable pillow 2 is adapted to the curvature of the child's neck, making the child more comfortable and fit when lying on it. It also limits the movement of the child's neck and prevents it from shaking. The side of the pillow that is close to the shoulder pad is more tightly connected to the shoulder pad and is less likely to loosen or fall off.

[0038] In some possible implementations, the neck inflatable pillow 2 is connected to an air tube 22, the end of the air tube 22 away from the neck inflatable pillow 2 is connected to an inflatable balloon 23, the air tube 22 is provided with a one-way valve 24, the neck inflatable pillow 2 is provided with a vent hole 25, and the vent hole 25 is provided with an air plug 26.

[0039] Specifically, during use, medical staff squeeze the inflatable bag 23, and the gas inside the inflatable bag 23 inflates the neck inflatable pillow 2 through the one-way valve 24 and the trachea 22. The air inlet of the traditional inflatable bag 23 is also a one-way port. When the inflatable bag 23 is squeezed and deformed, gas is drawn in through the one-way port of the inflatable bag 23. When the inflatable bag 23 is squeezed, the gas flows again from the one-way valve 24 and the trachea 22 to the neck inflatable pillow 2, completing the continuous inflation. When the use is finished, the air plug 26 can be removed, and the neck inflatable pillow 2 can be deflated through the vent 25.

[0040] In some possible implementations, the first Velcro hook 21 is mounted on one side of the neck inflatable pillow 2 opposite to the notch, and the two crescent-shaped pillows 31 are movably mounted on the side of the neck inflatable pillow 2 opposite to the notch away from the shoulder pad assembly 1.

[0041] Specifically, the notch of the annular neck inflatable pillow 2 faces directly upward, and the end opposite the notch is the lower end of the neck inflatable pillow 2. The first Velcro hook 21 is installed on the neck inflatable pillow 2 on one side of the end opposite the notch to ensure that one side of the lower end of the neck inflatable pillow 2 is connected to the shoulder pad assembly 1, and the other side is connected to the crescent pillow 31.

[0042] In some possible embodiments, the upper surface of the first shoulder pad 11 is provided with two second hook-and-loop fasteners 14 on both sides along its length, and the lower surface of the second shoulder pad 12 is provided with two second hook-and-loop fasteners 15 on the two sides corresponding to the upper surface of the first shoulder pad 11 along its length. The first shoulder pad 11 is detachably mounted to the second shoulder pad 12 via the two second hook-and-loop fasteners 14 and the two second hook-and-loop fasteners 15.

[0043] Specifically, the two sides of the first shoulder pad 11 and the second shoulder pad 12 along their length direction are detachably installed via the second Velcro and the second Velcro hook face 15. When the two shoulder pads are used at the same time, they are fixed more securely and will not be misaligned due to the child's movement, thus preventing the child's cervical spine or thoracic and lumbar spine from being dislocated. At the same time, the Velcro connection, installation and disassembly are both convenient.

[0044] In some possible implementations, two cloth bag ropes 32 are attached to the neck inflatable pillow 2, and two crescent-shaped pillows 31 are respectively movably installed on the side of the neck inflatable pillow 2 away from the shoulder pad assembly 1 by the two cloth bag ropes 32 at intervals; the cross-section of the cloth bag ropes 32 is flat, and the cloth bag ropes 32 are adjustable ropes.

[0045] Specifically, two cloth ropes 32 are looped around the neck inflatable pillow 2. These ropes 32 can slide on the neck inflatable pillow 2, thereby moving the two crescent-shaped pillows 31. This high degree of mobility facilitates the movement of the crescent-shaped pillows 31. The cloth ropes 32 have a flat cross-section and fit snugly against the neck inflatable pillow 2 without any protrusions that could cause discomfort to the child. The cloth ropes 32 are adjustable in tension, allowing for adjustments based on the inflation level of the neck inflatable pillow 2, thus ensuring a more secure connection between the cloth ropes 32 and the neck inflatable pillow 2.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the ends of the first shoulder pad 11 and the second shoulder pad 12 away from the neck inflatable pillow 2 are both arc-shaped; the upper surfaces of the first shoulder pad 11 and the second shoulder pad 12 are provided with grooves that fit the human shoulder.

[0047] Specifically, the child's shoulders need to lie on the first shoulder pad 11 or the second shoulder pad 12, while the child's back needs to lie on the bed. The ends of the first shoulder pad 11 and the second shoulder pad 12 that are away from the neck inflatable pillow 2 are both curved, making the transition of the pillow height for the child's shoulders smoother. The curved part provides some support for the child's shoulders and back. The second shoulder pad 12 and the second shoulder pad 12 have a groove in the middle of their length direction that can be buried in, making the child's shoulders more comfortable when lying on the shoulder pad.

[0048] In some possible implementations, the first shoulder pad 11, the second shoulder pad 12, and the crescent pillow 31 are all made of latex. The length, width, and height of the first shoulder pad 11 are 25cm, 12cm, and 4cm, respectively, and the length, width, and height of the second shoulder pad 12 are 25cm, 12cm, and 2cm, respectively.

[0049] Specifically, latex material has advantages such as high elasticity, good support, good breathability, and anti-mite and antibacterial properties, making it more comfortable to use. The first shoulder pad 11 and the second shoulder pad 12 are 25cm long and 12cm wide, which is a moderate size and suitable for most children. The patients are all children, and the size difference is not too large. The height of the second shoulder pad 12 is half that of the first shoulder pad 11, and the difference between the two shoulder pads is small, making it easier to fit most children of most body types.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of this utility model, used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and not to limit it. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features, within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model; and these modifications, changes, or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
