For ordinary skilled persons in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The utility model embodiment provides a pressure response prone position operation face pillow, including computer board, face pillow 1 and a plurality of pressure sensor, face pillow 1 has elasticity, the middle part of face pillow 1 is provided with the first avoiding slot 13 and the second avoiding slot 14 respectively along the thickness direction of face pillow, the length direction of first avoiding slot 13 is parallel to the width direction of face pillow, the length direction of second avoiding slot 14 is parallel to the length direction of face pillow, when the head of patient is prone on face pillow 1, first avoiding slot 13 is used to avoid eye and second avoiding slot 14 is used to avoid mouth and nose. When the patient is prone, the face pillow is placed below the patient's cheek, and the eyes, mouth and nose are in the first avoiding slot and the second avoiding slot to prevent the eyes, mouth and nose from being pressed. The face pillow 1 is provided with a groove 15 recessed along the thickness direction of the face pillow, the groove 15 communicates with the second avoiding slot 14, the groove 15 extends along the width direction of the face pillow, and the groove 15 is used to observe the mouth of the patient on the face pillow 1. Of course, the endotracheal tube can be inserted into the groove 15 and inserted into the oral cavity or nasal cavity. A plurality of pressure sensors are arranged in the face pillow 1, and a plurality of pressure sensors are arranged at intervals, and the pressure sensor is signal connected to the computer board.

[0030] In the embodiment, the thickness direction of the face pillow, the width direction of the face pillow and the length direction of the face pillow are perpendicular to each other, and in actual application, the head pillow is arranged on an operating bed or a sickbed, the thickness direction of the face pillow is the up-down direction in reality, the width direction of the face pillow is the left-right direction of the patient's body, the width direction of the face pillow is the width direction of the sickbed, and the length direction of the face pillow is the height direction of the patient, and the length direction of the face pillow is the length direction of the sickbed.

[0031] In an embodiment, the patient lies on the face pillow 1 with the face downward, and a medical staff performs surgery or nursing on the patient, the pressure sensor located in the face pillow 1 senses the pressure borne by the corresponding position of the face, and the specific value of the pressure sensor is displayed by means of a computer board, so that the medical staff can judge whether the pressure borne by the face of the patient is appropriate according to the value of the pressure sensor, and then adjust the face of the patient.

[0032] In an embodiment, the computer board in the embodiment can be a computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone or the like terminal, and the value of the pressure sensor can be reflected by software or hardware. Of course, the working time of the pressure sensor can also be reflected, and the time for the patient to lie on the face pillow 1 can be calculated, so that the medical staff can timely adjust the head of the patient according to the use time of the pressure sensor, so as to prevent the deformation of soft tissues for a long time. Specifically, the value of the pressure sensor can be combined with a virtual face in the software through the software on the terminal, and a real-time color graphic image of the pressure point of the face position of the patient is displayed in the software.
