Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of neonatal technology, specifically to a body positioning device for neonatal X-ray lateral view radiographs. Background Technology
[0002] In the medical field, X-ray examination is a commonly used medical diagnostic technique. Newborns also need X-ray examination to obtain relevant medical diagnoses, providing high-quality chest or abdominal X-ray images, which are of great significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. In X-ray diagnosis, newborns can be taken in a supine position on a radiation table or in a lateral position in an incubator to take lateral X-ray images of the chest and abdomen. If the X-ray is taken in an incubator, the newborn's body temperature can be maintained, avoiding some accidents, and there is no need to carry the newborn in and out, which can save the workload of medical staff. Therefore, when taking X-rays in a lateral position in an incubator, sandbags are usually used to press down on the newborn's hands and feet, and cloth is used to bind them. However, this method is generally not very comfortable for the newborn and does not have a calming effect. The newborn feels less secure, and for more fussy newborns, they are prone to restlessness and have difficulty calming down, which will affect the X-ray results. If the X-ray quality is poor and a retake is required, it will also increase the radiation exposure to the newborn and increase the workload of medical staff. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a body positioning device for neonatal X-ray lateral view radiography that has a better soothing effect, makes newborns feel more secure, less restless, and easier to calm down, with better overall comfort, and allows newborns to maintain the lateral lying position for X-ray lateral view radiography for a longer period of time, so as to better ensure the radiographic effect.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A body positioning fixation device for neonatal X-ray lateral view radiography includes a flexible pillow, a comfort swaddle, an upper limb restraint sleeve, and a lower limb restraint sleeve. The upper left and right sides of the upper part of the flexible pillow are fixedly provided with upper limb restraint sleeves for restraining the newborn's upper limbs, and the lower left and right sides of the lower part of the flexible pillow are fixedly provided with lower limb restraint sleeves for restraining the newborn's lower limbs. The flexible pillow includes a linear embracing section, the bottom end of which bends downward and forward to form a buttock support section that can pass between the newborn's two lower limbs and is used to support the newborn's buttocks. One end of the comfort swaddle is fixedly connected to the front surface of the middle part of the flexible pillow, and the other end of the comfort swaddle can wrap around and wrap the newborn's back and buttocks and be inserted between the flexible pillow and the radiography plate. The comfort swaddle is used to wrap and restrain the newborn to the front side of the flexible pillow and to place the newborn in a lateral position during X-ray lateral view radiography.
[0005] Furthermore, the hip support section is linear, with an arc-shaped transition section between the hip support section and the embracing section, and the angle between the embracing section and the hip support section is 110-140 degrees.
[0006] Furthermore, the flexible pillow is flat and its thickness on the left and right sides is less than that on the front and back sides.
[0007] Furthermore, the top of the flexible pillow faces forward and is tilted downward, forming a relief slope to avoid the mouth and nose of a newborn.
[0008] Furthermore, the angle of inclination of the avoidance ramp is 30-40 degrees.
[0009] Furthermore, both the upper limb restraint and the lower limb restraint include a restraint body, a drawstring, and an elastic limiting ring. The restraint body is fixedly connected to the flexible pillow. Drawstrings are threaded through the edges of the openings at both ends of the restraint body, and both ends of the drawstrings pass through the elastic limiting ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the openings at both ends of the restraint sleeve face the front and back sides of the flexible pillow, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the other end of the comforting wrap is detachably connected to the flexible pillow via Velcro.
[0012] Furthermore, the comforting wrap is rectangular in shape, and its width is 0.3-0.5 times the length of the flexible pillow.
[0013] Furthermore, the flexible pillow includes a cotton cover and a flexible inner core inside the cotton cover, the soothing wrap is a cotton strip, and the upper limb restraint sleeve and lower limb restraint sleeve are both cotton covers.
[0014] As described above, the positioning device for neonatal lateral X-ray imaging provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: During use, the flexible pillow allows the newborn to lie on their side in front of it, with both hands and feet resting on the support section. The hip support section effectively supports the newborn's buttocks. Upper and lower limb restraints are used to restrain the newborn's upper and lower limbs respectively. Combined with the use of a swaddle blanket, the newborn's back and buttocks are further restrained, thus ensuring the newborn is stably positioned on their left or right side during lateral X-ray imaging. The swaddle, by wrapping around the newborn's back and buttocks, makes the newborn feel held, providing a good soothing effect. It also helps to stabilize the newborn. The hip support holds the newborn's buttocks, a feeling that newborns enjoy and find more secure, making them less restless and more likely to calm down. The overall comfort of the restraint is good, allowing the newborn to maintain the lateral position for X-ray lateral radiographs for a longer period, ensuring better imaging results and facilitating direct X-ray lateral radiographs inside the incubator.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention discloses a positioning device for neonatal X-ray lateral view imaging, comprising a flexible pillow 1, a comfort swaddle 2, an upper limb restraint sleeve 3, and a lower limb restraint sleeve 4. Upper limb restraint sleeves 3 for restraining the upper limbs 61 of the newborn 6 are fixedly mounted on both the left and right sides of the upper part of the flexible pillow 1, and lower limb restraint sleeves 4 for restraining the lower limbs 62 of the newborn 6 are fixedly mounted on both the left and right sides of the lower part of the flexible pillow 1. The flexible pillow 1 includes a linear embracing section 11, the bottom end of which... The hip support section 12 extends downward and forward, forming a section that can pass between the lower limbs 62 of the newborn 6 and is used to support the buttocks of the newborn 6. One end of the comfort wrap 2 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the middle part of the flexible pillow 1. The other end of the comfort wrap 2 can wrap around and wrap the back and buttocks of the newborn 6 and be inserted between the flexible pillow 1 and the X-ray plate. The comfort wrap 2 is used to wrap and restrain the newborn 6 to the front side of the flexible pillow 1 and to place the newborn 6 in a lateral position when taking X-ray lateral views.
[0021] In use, the flexible pillow 1 allows the newborn 6 to lie on its side in front of it, with both hands and feet held in the embracing section 11. The hip support section 12 effectively supports the newborn 6's buttocks. The upper limb restraint sleeve 3 and lower limb restraint sleeve 4 restrain the newborn 6's upper limbs 61 and lower limbs 62 respectively. Simultaneously, the swaddle strap 2 further restrains the newborn 6's back and buttocks, ensuring the newborn 6 remains stably positioned in the left or right lateral decubitus position for X-ray lateral radiographs. The swaddle strap 2 then wraps around the newborn's body. The back and buttocks of the newborn 6 provide a feeling of being held, which has a good soothing effect. At the same time, it also helps to fix the newborn 6 in place. The buttock support section 12 supports the buttocks of the newborn 6. The newborn 6 likes this feeling of having his buttocks supported, which makes him feel more secure. The newborn 6 is less likely to be restless and is easier to calm down. The overall comfort of restraint is good, which allows the newborn 6 to maintain the lateral position for X-ray lateral radiography for a longer period of time, so as to better ensure the radiographic effect and facilitate the direct X-ray lateral radiography of the newborn in the incubator.
[0022] Preferably, the hip support section 12 is linear, and an arc-shaped transition section 13 is provided between the hip support section 12 and the embracing section 11. The angle between the embracing section 11 and the hip support section 12 is 110-140 degrees to further ensure comfort.
[0023] Preferably, the flexible pillow 1 is flat and the thickness of its left and right sides is less than the thickness of its front and back sides.
[0024] Furthermore, the top of the flexible pillow 1 is positioned facing forward and tilted downward, forming a relief slope 111 to avoid obstructing the mouth and nose of the newborn 6. Since medical staff will temporarily leave the newborn 6 during X-ray imaging, the relief slope 111 is positioned on the side closest to the face of the newborn 6 during use. The relief slope 111 avoids obstructing the mouth and nose of the newborn 6, effectively preventing the top of the flexible pillow 1 from accidentally blocking the mouth and nose of the newborn 6 during the X-ray imaging process and causing suffocation, thereby further improving the safety of X-ray imaging. Preferably, the tilt angle of the relief slope 111 is 30-40 degrees.
[0025] Correspondingly, both the upper limb restraint sleeve 3 and the lower limb restraint sleeve 4 include a restraint sleeve body 51, a drawstring 52, and an elastic limiting ring 53. The restraint sleeve body 51 is fixedly connected to the flexible pillow 1. The drawstring 52 is threaded through the edges of the openings at both ends of the restraint sleeve body 51. Both ends of the drawstring 52 pass through the elastic limiting ring 53. Preferably, the elastic limiting ring 53 can be made of silicone or rubber. In this way, the elasticity of the elastic limiting ring 53 can stably clamp onto the drawstring 52. By adjusting the limiting position of the elastic limiting ring 53 on the drawstring 52, the size of the openings at both ends of the restraint sleeve body 51 can be adjusted, and the upper limbs 61 and lower limbs 62 of the newborn 6 can be better restrained.
[0026] Furthermore, the openings at both ends of the restraint sleeve 51 face the front and rear sides of the flexible pillow 1, respectively. Therefore, when the newborn 6 is in a side-lying position and located in front of the flexible pillow 1, the upper limb 61 and lower limb 62 of the newborn 6 can pass more easily through and be fitted into the upper limb restraint sleeve 3 and the lower limb restraint sleeve 4, respectively. In addition, the length of the sewn section between the restraint sleeve 51 and the flexible pillow 1 is less than the length of the restraint sleeve 51, and the width of the sewn section is less than the width of the restraint sleeve 51. The sewn section is located in the middle of the restraint sleeve 51. This allows both the upper limb restraint sleeve 3 and the lower limb restraint sleeve 4 to have a certain degree of flexibility, better adapting to the placement angle of the newborn 6's upper limb 61 and lower limb 62, and improving comfort during restraint.
[0027] In addition, in other embodiments, the other end of the comfort wrap 2 is detachably connected to the flexible pillow 1 via Velcro. Accordingly, the Velcro includes a hook side and a loop side that adhere to each other. One of the comfort wrap 2 and the flexible pillow 1 is fixedly provided with the hook side, and the other is fixedly provided with the loop side. This helps to further improve the stability of the connection between the other end of the comfort wrap 2 and the flexible pillow 1, and also facilitates the quick removal and separation of the other end of the comfort wrap 2 from the flexible pillow 1.
[0028] Preferably, the comfort swaddle 2 is rectangular in shape, and the width of the comfort swaddle 2 is 0.3-0.5 times the length of the flexible pillow 1, so as to better wrap the back and buttocks of the newborn 6.
[0029] Preferably, the flexible pillow 1 includes a cotton cover and a flexible inner core disposed inside the cotton cover. The flexible inner core may be made of sponge material. The comfort wrap 2 is a cotton strip. The upper limb restraint sleeve 3 and the lower limb restraint sleeve 4 are both cotton covers, which are skin-friendly and comfortable.
[0030] The method of using the positioning device for neonatal X-ray lateral radiographs described in this utility model is as follows: When a neonatal 6 needs to be taken for an X-ray lateral radiograph, firstly, place the flexible pillow 1 on the radiograph board, and unfold and lay the comfort swaddle 2 flat on the radiograph board. Then, place the neonatal 6 on the radiograph board, in front of the flexible pillow 1 and pressing it on the comfort swaddle 2. Then, turn the neonatal 6 over so that the neonatal 6 faces the flexible pillow 1 and is in a lateral position. Then, insert the upper limb 61 and lower limb 62 of the neonatal 6 in the lateral position between the flexible pillow 1 and the radiograph board to a certain extent restrain one of the upper limbs 61 and lower limb 62 of the neonatal 6. Then, insert the other upper limb 61 of the neonatal 6 in the lateral position into the upper limb restraint sleeve 3 on the corresponding side of the flexible pillow 1 and secure the two ends of the upper limb restraint sleeve 3 with the drawstring 52. The opening is narrowed to restrain the other upper limb 61 of the newborn 6. Then, the other lower limb 62 of the newborn 6, which is in a side-lying position, is inserted into the lower limb restraint sleeve 4 on the corresponding side of the flexible pillow 1. The openings of the lower limb restraint sleeve 4 are narrowed by the narrowing rope 52 to restrain the other lower limb 62 of the newborn 6. At this time, the buttock support section 12 of the flexible pillow 1 passes between the two lower limbs 62 of the newborn 6 to support the buttocks of the newborn 6. Then, the other end of the comfort wrap 2 is wrapped around and wrapped around the back and buttocks of the newborn 6 and inserted between the flexible pillow 1 and the X-ray plate to press down the other end of the comfort wrap 2 and to a certain extent fix the other end of the comfort wrap 2, thereby wrapping and restraining the newborn 6 to the front of the flexible pillow 1. In other embodiments, the other end of the comfort wrap 2 can be further stably connected to the flexible pillow 1 by Velcro.
[0031] The above are only some specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
