[0030] The utility model provides a kind of forearm pillow for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after operation as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a kind of forearm pillow for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after operation as shown in

[0031] The forearm pillow for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after operation mainly includes: a pillow body 100 and a height adjusting module 200.

[0032] The pillow body 100 has a receiving cavity and opposite support surfaces 131a and mounting surfaces 131b, the mounting surfaces 131b are arranged on the bed 410, and the support surfaces 131a are used to support the forearms.

[0033] Specifically, the pillow body 100 can be fixed on the bed 410 through the mounting surface 131b to limit the patient on the bed 410 to a certain extent, and reduce the risk of falling off the bed. The support surface 131a and the mounting surface 131b have a preset interval, the patient's forearm can be raised, and the support surface 131a is preferably horizontally arranged to support the patient's forearm to maintain a horizontal posture, which facilitates the medical staff to perform blood drawing, blood pressure measurement and other operations on the patient, and can improve the accuracy of blood pressure measurement.

[0034] The height adjustment module 200 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and is used to adjust the interval between the support surface 131a and the mounting surface 131b.

[0035] Specifically, the interval between the support surface 131a and the mounting surface 131b can be changed through the height adjustment module 200, so as to adjust the height of the patient's forearm. In actual operation, the support surface 131a can be raised through the height adjustment module 200, so that the patient's upper arm is flush with the heart, thereby increasing the accuracy of blood pressure measurement.

[0036] In order to alleviate obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, the bed head is usually raised for postoperative routine nursing, which can prevent and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications and greatly improve the success rate of surgery. However, after the bed head is raised, the risk of falling off the bed of the patient is increased, especially for some patients with special needs, the bed head needs to be raised to an angle of 70 to 90 degrees to feel comfortable, which greatly increases the risk of falling off the bed of the patient. In addition, due to the raised bed head, the patient's forearm cannot be maintained in a horizontal posture, which causes the medical staff to be disturbed when blood pressure measurement, blood drawing and other operations are performed on the patient's forearm.

[0037] The pillow body 100 can limit the patient on the bed 410 to a certain extent, and reduce the risk of falling off the bed. The pillow body 100 can maintain the patient's forearm in a horizontal posture, which facilitates the medical staff to perform blood drawing and other operations on the patient's forearm. The height adjustment module 200 can raise the patient's forearm to different heights, and improve the comfort of the patient.

[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The area of the mounting surface 131b is greater than the area of the support surface 131a. The stability of the pillow body 100 can be improved.

[0039] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The pillow body 100 has a first direction 150 perpendicular to the direction of the bed tail, and the first direction 150 is parallel to the support surface 131a. The middle part of the support surface 131a in the first direction 150 is recessed to form a support groove.

[0040] In actual use, the first direction 150 is the left-right direction of the patient. Through the above structure, when the forearm of the patient is placed in the support groove, the forearm will tend to move towards the middle part of the support groove (the middle part of the support surface 131a in the first direction 150), thereby avoiding the patient's arm from sliding off the pillow body 100.

[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The forearm pillow further comprises a storage bag 140, which is arranged on the outer surface of the pillow body 100 and is used to store articles.

[0042] Specifically, after the operation, the patient's oropharyngeal part will secrete more. The medical staff will encourage the patient to spit it out, but the patient's oropharyngeal part is easy to leave the secretion around the mouth, and the patient needs to wipe the mouth with a tissue frequently. Since there is no storage rack for placing the tissue, the tissue is usually placed on the bedside table, which is not convenient for the patient to take. By arranging the storage bag 140, the tissue can be placed, and the patient can take it conveniently. The storage bag 140 is preferably arranged on the surface of the end of the pillow body 100 facing the patient.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The pillow body 100 comprises a contact layer 110, a buffer layer 120 and a structure layer 130. The contact layer 110 is used to contact the patient, and the buffer layer 120 is arranged in the contact layer 110. The structure layer 130 comprises two support plates 131, which are arranged oppositely. The support surface 131a and the mounting surface 131b are arranged on the two support plates 131, respectively.

[0044] Preferably, the contact layer 110 is made of a composite fabric of SBR fabric and T fabric, which has the advantages of fine softness, comfortable hand feeling, sweat absorption, air permeability, strong resilience, high tensile strength, shock resistance, antibacterial property, anti-static property, flame resistance and the like, thereby improving the comfort of the user. The buffer layer 120 is made of silica gel cotton, which has a soft Q elastic feeling, is durable and not easy to change, and has hydrophobicity. The structure layer 130 is made of a hard material such as wood, which is used to maintain the shape of the pillow body 100.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The height adjustment module 200 comprises a gas bag 210, which is arranged between the two support plates 131.

[0046] A gas pump 220 is in communication with the gas bag 210. The volume of the gas bag 210 is reduced or expanded by the driving of the gas pump 220, so as to change the distance between the two support plates 131.

[0047] Preferably, the height adjustment module 200 further comprises an electric air valve. When the gas pump 220 is not working, the electric air valve can be used to maintain the air pressure of the gas bag 210, so as to maintain the distance between the two support plates 131.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 2 The height adjustment module 200 further comprises a height adjustment button 230, which is electrically connected with the air pump 220 and is arranged on the outer surface of the pillow body 100.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 to 3 The forearm pillow further comprises a mounting base 310, which is arranged under the mattress 420 and is detachably connected with the bed 410.

[0050] A rotating shaft 320 is arranged on the mounting base 310, and the rotating shaft 320 is used to connect the pillow body 100 with the mattress 420, and the pillow body 100 is rotatably arranged on the rotating shaft 320.

[0051] In actual use, the pillow body 100 can be rotated around the rotating shaft 320, so that part of the pillow body 100 is located outside the bed 410, reducing the restriction on the patient and facilitating the patient to get out of bed.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 to 3 The end of the pillow body 100 away from the bed tail is rotatably connected with the rotating shaft 320.

[0053] In actual use, the end of the pillow body 100 away from the bed tail can be rotated 90 degrees away from the bed 410, so that the end of the pillow body 100 away from the bed tail is located outside the bed 410, and at this time, the pillow body 100 has less restriction on the patient, facilitating the patient to get out of bed.

[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The pillow body 100 and the rotating shaft 320 are both arranged in two, and the two pillow bodies 100 are rotatably arranged on the opposite ends of the mounting base 310 through the two rotating shafts 320.

[0055] Specifically, when the patient rests after the operation by lifting the head of the bed, the pillow body 100 is placed flat on both sides of the body, and the patient is located between the two pillow bodies 100. At this time, the patient can place the bilateral forearms in the supporting grooves, and at the same time, the height of the supporting surface 131a can be adjusted according to the height characteristics of the patient through the height adjustment module 200, preventing the patient from falling out of bed while improving the comfort of the patient.

[0056] In conclusion, a kind of forearm pillow for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome postoperative is provided, including pillow body and height adjustment module, the pillow body has accommodating cavity and opposite support surface and installation surface, installation surface is set on bed, and support surface is used to support forearm;Height adjustment module is set in accommodating cavity, and height adjustment module is used to adjust the distance between support surface and installation surface.The utility model discloses by setting up pillow body, can limit patient to a certain extent on bed, reduce the risk of patient falling off bed, and the forearm of patient can be maintained to horizontal posture by pillow body, and it is convenient for medical staff to carry out blood sampling operation to the forearm of patient, and the forearm of patient can be lifted to different height by height adjustment module, and the comfort of patient can be improved.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating, and not limit the embodiments. For ordinary skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, all embodiments need not and can not be exhausted. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the utility model.
