Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of neonatal care equipment technology, and in particular to a prone positioning pad for assisting ventilation of premature infants. Background Technology

[0002] The prone position is widely recommended in newborn care, especially for premature infants, due to its close resemblance to the position of a newborn in the womb. When premature infants are in the prone position, the coordination of chest and abdominal movements is better, the diaphragm is less affected by abdominal contents, and respiratory efficiency is increased. This significantly improves oxygenation and lung function. The prone position also promotes quiet sleep in premature infants, improves lung capacity, and reduces the occurrence of apnea. Furthermore, the prone position is beneficial in several ways, including enhancing gastrointestinal motility, improving digestive function, increasing feelings of security, and enhancing comfort.

[0003] Because premature infants have weak breathing, they need to be assisted with ventilators during the early stages of care. To prevent gastroesophageal reflux during neonatal feeding, inclined prone positioning pads are commonly used clinically. For example, Chinese patent CN220735648U, entitled "A Prone Infant Nest Pad," includes a three-tiered pad consisting of a head pad, a chest and abdomen pad, and a lower limb pad, arranged in descending steps. The three-tiered pad is surrounded by a covering. This prior art can effectively restrict and fix the infant's trunk and limbs in a prone position, allowing the infant to lie more comfortably.

[0004] However, the existing technology is not suitable for premature infants. Since premature infants need to use ventilators, there is a risk that the ventilator tubing may tilt to one side or fall off when the infant is on the existing positioning pad. This may affect the ventilation effect and compress the infant's nasal septum. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to design a prone positioning pad for newborns, especially premature infants, that is breathable and allows space for the ventilator tubing, so as not to compress the infant's nose and cause ventilation problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model aims to provide a prone positioning pad for assisted ventilation of premature infants. By setting a face receiving groove with an inclined arc surface at the front end of the pad body, the newborn's side face is pressed tightly against the inclined arc surface when prone, so that the ventilator worn by the newborn is located in the cavity, which will not cause the ventilator to tilt or fall off. At the same time, it can also prevent the ventilator from compressing the newborn's nasal septum, thereby solving the problems existing in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A prone positioning pad for assisted ventilation of premature infants includes a pad body and a protective part. The pad body is located inside the protective part, and the height of the pad body is lower than the height of the protective part. The pad body is provided with a face receiving groove, which corresponds to the head position of the newborn when in a prone position.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution: the pad body includes a head section, an abdominal section and a leg section formed in one piece, and the height of the head section decreases sequentially from the leg section to the head section. The abdominal section is connected with an elastic bandage, and the rear end of the leg section is provided with a foot support pad.

[0009] A further preferred option is that the upper surface of the pad body has an arc-shaped structure.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution: the face receiving groove has a U-shaped structure and is located in the middle of the head segment.

[0011] A further preferred embodiment is that the interior of the face receiving groove is an inclined arc surface, which is formed by extending vertically downward from the surface of the head segment.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, further, a cavity is formed downward in the middle of the face receiving groove. The cavity is arranged along the length direction of the pad body and is connected to the front end of the head section.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution: the protective part includes two symmetrically distributed protective enclosures, a connecting tail plate and a bottom plate. The rear ends of the two protective enclosures are respectively connected to the connecting tail plate, the connecting tail plate abuts against the support foot pad, and the bottom plate is connected to the bottom of the protective enclosures and the connecting tail plate.

[0014] A further preferred option is to set an opening at the front end of the two protective panels, with the opening positioned directly opposite the cavity.

[0015] The present invention, through the above technical solution, produces the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. By setting up a pad and a protective part, the protective part fully wraps around the pad, enhancing the newborn's sense of security. The upper surface of the pad has a gradually decreasing arc structure, which improves the newborn's comfort when lying prone, and plays a good role in preventing gastroesophageal reflux and assisting ventilation.

[0017] 2. By setting a face receiving groove and cavity at the front end of the pad body, the newborn's side face fits against the inclined arc surface in the face receiving groove, providing better support for the newborn's head. Under the support of the inclined arc surface, the ventilator worn by the premature newborn is located in the cavity, and the ventilator will not compress the newborn's nasal septum, avoiding the situation of the ventilator tubing tilting or falling off. Moreover, the ventilator tubing extends outward through the cavity and the opening, which greatly facilitates the use of the ventilator. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments, not all embodiments. For those skilled in the art, other embodiments can be obtained without creative effort.

[0026] In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified and limited, the directional terms such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", and "back" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the corresponding positional relationship may change.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a prone positioning pad for assisted ventilation of premature infants, including a pad body 1 and a protective part 2. The pad body 1 is made of temperature-sensitive memory foam material, which is soft and comfortable. The protective part 2 is made of wood material covered with a velvet cotton towel. The overall shape of the protective part 2 matches that of the pad body 1, so that the pad body 1 can be placed tightly inside the protective part 2. The height of the pad body 1 is lower than that of the protective part 2. The pad body 1 is provided with a face receiving groove 3, which is located at one end of the newborn's head and corresponds to the head position of the newborn when in a prone position.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the pad body 1 includes an integrally formed head section 11, abdominal section 12, and leg section 13, such that when the newborn is placed on the pad body 1, the newborn's head, chest, abdomen, and legs are located at the head section 11, abdominal section 12, and leg section 13, respectively. Preferably, the upper surface of the pad body 1 has a wavy arc structure, and the height decreases sequentially from the head section 11 to the leg section 13. An elastic bandage 4 is connected at the abdominal section 12 of the pad body 1. In this embodiment, the elastic bandage 4 can be an integrally adjustable type or a two-section joint type. The two ends of the elastic bandage 4 are respectively connected to the pad body 1. When the newborn lies prone on the pad body 1, the elastic bandage 4 is bound to the newborn's buttocks to prevent the newborn from sliding down. A foot support pad 14 is provided at the rear end of the leg section 13. The foot support pad 14 is higher than the rear end of the leg section 13, and the foot support pad 14 is integrally formed and connected to the pad body 1. The foot support pad 14 plays a protective role for the newborn's feet.

[0029] More specifically, the face receiving groove 3 is U-shaped and located in the middle of the head segment 11. The interior of the face receiving groove 3 is an inclined arc surface 31, such as... Figure 4-5 As shown, the inclined arc surface 31 is formed by extending vertically downward from the surface of the head segment 11, and the newborn's side face fits into the face receiving groove 3 when the newborn is in a prone position.

[0030] Since most premature newborns need to wear ventilators, in order to improve the situation where the ventilator tubing tilts to one side or falls off after wearing the ventilator, a cavity 5 is provided downward in the middle of the face receiving groove 3. The cavity 5 is set along the length of the pad body 1 and is connected to the front end of the head section 11. When the newborn wears the ventilator and lies prone on the pad body 1, his / her side face is in contact with the inclined arc surface 31 of the face receiving groove 3, so that the ventilator is located in the cavity 5, and the ventilator tubing is led out through the front end of the cavity 5, so as to avoid the newborn wearing the ventilator from compressing the nasal septum.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the protective part 2 includes two symmetrically distributed protective panels 21, a connecting tail plate 22, and a bottom plate. The rear ends of the two protective panels 21 are respectively connected to the connecting tail plate 22. The connecting tail plate 22 abuts against the support pad 14. The bottom plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective panels 21 and the connecting tail plate 22. When in use, a flannel cotton towel is covered on the protective panels 21, the connecting tail plate 22, and the bottom plate. An opening 6 is provided at the connection point of the front ends of the two protective panels 21. The position of the opening 6 is directly opposite the cavity 5. In this way, when the premature newborn lies prone on the pad part 1, the tubing connected to the ventilator he wears extends through the cavity 5 to the opening 6 and is then led out, which facilitates the use of the ventilator.

[0032] Example: A prone positioning mat for assisted ventilation of premature infants, in use:

[0033] Place the newborn on the positioning mat and put the premature newborn on a ventilator according to clinical standards. After putting on the ventilator, turn the newborn into a prone position so that he lies face down on the upper surface of the mat body 1, so that the side of the newborn's face is in contact with the inclined arc surface 31. Adjust the newborn's head so that the ventilator is located in the cavity 5. Extend the ventilator tubing outward through the cavity 5 and the opening 6. Finally, adjust the tightness of the elastic bandage 4 appropriately and use the elastic bandage 4 to limit the newborn's buttocks.

[0034] It should be understood that the above detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is only for further explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, any non-essential improvements and adjustments made by those skilled in the art based on the above description of the present invention are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
