TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of prone position surgery, in particular, to a headrest for prone position surgery. BACKGROUND
[0002] During prone position surgery, the neck of the patient is in a relaxed state after general anesthesia, and a headrest needs to be used for assistance. The existing headrest for prone position surgery does not have a corresponding design in the eye area, resulting in pressure on the patient's eyes. After a long time of prone position surgery, the patient's eyes will have obvious discomfort after the surgery.
[0003] Considering the reasons of tracheal intubation after general anesthesia and the pressure on the eyes, the existing prone position surgery usually adopts a posture of tilting the patient's head to one side when using such a headrest for prone position surgery. However, this makes it impossible to maintain the normal physiological curve of the cervical spine, which can cause discomfort and negative damage to the patient, and thus the patient will have cervical pain after the surgery.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a more suitable headrest for prone position surgery is a problem to be solved in the field. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a headrest for prone position surgery, which can minimize the pressure on the patient's eyes during prone position surgery and maintain the normal physiological curve of the neck, thereby reducing the patient's postoperative eye discomfort or neck discomfort.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiments of the present application are implemented in the following way:
[0007] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a headrest for prone position surgery, comprising: a headrest main body formed integrally, comprising a first protruding part and a second protruding part arranged at intervals along a first direction, a valley region extending along a second direction formed between the first protruding part and the second protruding part, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction; a first arc groove with a first depth is formed on the top surface of the first protruding part towards one side of the second protruding part, the recessed area of the first arc groove is used to carry the eye and above parts of the patient in prone position surgery; a second arc groove with a second depth is formed on the top surface of the second protruding part towards one side of the first protruding part, the recessed area of the second arc groove is used to carry the jaw of the patient in prone position surgery; a groove is formed at the center of the valley region for drainage and collection of oral secretions of the patient in prone position surgery.
[0008] In combination with the first aspect, in a first possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the height of the first protruding part is higher than the height of the second protruding part.
[0009] With reference to the first possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in a second possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a bottom height of the first arc groove is higher than a bottom height of the second arc groove.
[0010] With reference to the second possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in a third possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first arc groove is provided with a deep recess region towards a side bottom edge region of the second protruding portion.
[0011] With reference to the first aspect, in a fourth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a top width of the first protruding portion along the first direction is smaller than a bottom width, and a top width of the second protruding portion along the first direction is smaller than a bottom width.
[0012] With reference to the fourth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in a fifth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a height of two sides of the valley region along the second direction is higher than a center height.
[0013] With reference to the fourth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in a sixth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, an upper edge of the groove meets two side walls of the valley region.
[0014] With reference to the fourth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in a seventh possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a cannula passage is provided on the second protruding portion along the first direction, for a gas tube cannula to pass through.
[0015] Beneficial effects: The integrally formed headrest body includes a first protruding part and a second protruding part arranged at intervals along a first direction (understood as the length direction), and a valley region extending along a second direction (understood as the width direction) formed between the first protruding part and the second protruding part, the first direction and the second direction being perpendicular to each other. The top surface of the first protruding part is provided with a first arc groove of a first depth on the side facing the second protruding part, and the recessed region of the first arc groove is used to carry the eye and above parts of the prone position surgery patient; and the top surface of the second protruding part is provided with a second arc groove of a second depth on the side facing the first protruding part, and the recessed region of the second arc groove is used to carry the jaw of the prone position surgery patient; and a groove is provided at the center of the valley region for draining and collecting the oral secretion of the prone position surgery patient. Thus, when the patient is performing prone position surgery, the patient's jaw (chin position) can be placed in the second arc groove of the second protruding part, and the patient's forehead can be placed in the first arc groove of the first protruding part. Due to the existence of the deep recessed region (the first arc groove is provided on the side bottom edge region facing the second protruding part), even if the heads of different patients are different, the eyes of the patient almost do not need to be pressed, and the patient's mouth and nose can be unaffected in the valley region. The height of the first protruding part is higher than the height of the second protruding part, and the bottom height of the first arc groove is higher than the bottom height of the second arc groove, so that the cervical spine of the patient can maintain a normal physiological curve, avoiding the negative damage to the neck of the patient during the prone position surgery. The second protruding part is provided with a tracheal tube channel along the first direction for the tracheal tube to pass through, which is very convenient and will not cause the patient's head to deviate to one side due to the tracheal tube. A groove is provided at the center of the valley region for draining and collecting the oral secretion of the prone position surgery patient. The height of the two sides of the valley region in the second direction is higher than the center height, which is convenient for draining the oral secretion (or vomit). The upper edge of the groove meets the two side walls of the valley region, which is convenient for drainage, cleaning and disinfection, and prevents the oral secretion (or vomit) from remaining. Therefore, the headrest for prone position surgery is more suitable for patients, and can be more suitable for different patients (the distance between the jaw and the eye of different patients' heads may be different), and is more friendly to prone position surgery patients.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] Please refer to Figs. 1-3In the present embodiment, the headrest 10 for prone position surgery can be designed as an integrally formed headrest body, comprising a first protruding portion 11 and a second protruding portion 12 arranged at intervals along a first direction, a valley region extending along a second direction formed between the first protruding portion 11 and the second protruding portion 12, and the height of the first protruding portion 11 is higher than the height of the second protruding portion 12. The top width of the first protruding portion 11 in the first direction is smaller than the bottom width, and the top width of the second protruding portion 12 in the first direction is smaller than the bottom width. That is, both the first protruding portion 11 and the second protruding portion 12 exhibit a structure feature of being large at the bottom and small at the top, one of which is to ensure stability and the other of which is to facilitate drainage. Here, the first direction is understood as the length direction, and the second direction is understood as the width direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0026] A first arc groove 111 with a first depth is formed on the top surface of the first protruding portion 11 towards the second protruding portion 12, and the recessed area of the first arc groove 111 is used to carry the eye and above parts of the patient in prone position surgery. A second arc groove 121 with a second depth is formed on the top surface of the second protruding portion 12 towards the first protruding portion 11, and the recessed area of the second arc groove 121 is used to carry the jaw of the patient in prone position surgery. The bottom height of the first arc groove 111 is higher than the bottom height of the second arc groove 121.
[0027] In order to avoid the eye of the patient in prone position surgery being pressed when keeping face down, a deep recessed area 112 is provided at the bottom edge area of the first arc groove 111 towards the second protruding portion 12.
[0028] A groove 13 is formed at the center of the valley region, which is used to drain and collect the oral secretions of the patient in prone position surgery. The height of the two sides of the valley region in the second direction is higher than the center height, so that the bottom of the valley region exhibits a structure feature of being high outside and low inside, facilitating drainage. The upper edge of the groove 13 meets the two side walls of the valley region, facilitating drainage, cleaning and disinfection, and preventing the residual of oral secretions (or vomit).
[0029] In order to facilitate the passage of tracheal intubation, a tracheal intubation passage 14 (a rigid tube is embedded inside the tracheal intubation passage 14) is formed on the second protruding portion 12 along the first direction, which is used for the tracheal intubation to pass through, and can avoid the intubation being pressed and occluded in the tracheal intubation passage 14 in accidental situations. The integrally formed headrest body can be made of high molecular gel (prepared by medical gel), which is convenient for cleaning and disinfection.
[0030] Please refer to Fig. 3The size of the headrest 10 for prone position surgery can be designed as follows: the overall size is designed to be 32cm x 26cm x 20cm, the height of the first protruding part 11 is 16cm, the height of the second protruding part 12 is 14cm, the bottom height of the first arc groove 111 is 12cm, the bottom height of the second arc groove 121 is 10cm, the depth of the deep recess area 112 opened on the side bottom edge area of the first arc groove 111 towards the second protruding part 12 is 2-3cm (gradual depth design), the width is about 12cm, and the distance from the edge is about 3cm, the top width (maximum width) of the first protruding part 11 in the first direction is about 10cm, the bottom width (maximum width) is 16cm, the top width (maximum width) of the second protruding part 12 in the first direction is about 6cm, and the bottom width (maximum width) is 10cm. The height of the valley area on both sides in the second direction is 6cm, and the center height is 4cm. The height of the cannula channel 14 opened in the first direction on the second protruding part 12 is about 8cm, and the diameter is designed to be 2cm (the outer diameter of the rigid pipe is 2cm, and the thickness is at least 2mm), through which the gas supply pipe is inserted.
[0031] It should be noted that the design size given here is only an example, and other sizes can also be selected, for example, multiple different sizes of headrests 10 for prone position surgery can be produced to adapt to different patient groups, and should not be considered as limiting the present application. In addition, the edges of the headrest 10 for prone position surgery are all designed with an arc.
[0032] In addition, for the multiple edge designs appearing in the headrest 10 for prone position surgery in the present embodiment, Figs. 1-3 The actual design of this area is an arc surface, resulting in the emergence of multiple edges, which should not be considered as limiting the present application. In order to facilitate the intuitive understanding of the headrest 10 for prone position surgery in the present scheme, an Fig. 4 is provided here for reference.
[0033] In summary, the headrest 10 for prone position surgery provided by the embodiments of the present application can place the jaw (chin position) of the patient in the second arc groove 121 of the second protruding part 12 and the forehead of the patient in the first arc groove 111 of the first protruding part 11 when the patient is in prone position surgery. Due to the existence of the deep recess area 112 (the first arc groove 111 is opened on the side bottom edge area of the second protruding part 12), even if the head of different patients is different, the eyes of the patient almost do not need to be pressed, and the mouth and nose of the patient can be unaffected in the valley area. The height of the first protruding part 11 is higher than the height of the second protruding part 12, and the bottom height of the first arc groove 111 is higher than the bottom height of the second arc groove 121. Therefore, the cervical spine of the patient can maintain the normal physiological curve, and the neck injury of the patient in prone position surgery is avoided. The intubation channel 14 is opened on the second protruding part 12 in the first direction, and the tracheal tube passes through the intubation channel 14, which is very convenient, and the head of the patient will not be deviated to one side due to the tracheal tube. The groove 13 is opened in the center of the valley area, which is used for drainage and collection of oral secretions of the patient in prone position surgery. The height of the two sides of the valley area in the second direction is higher than the center height, which is convenient for drainage of oral secretions (or vomit). The upper edge of the groove 13 meets the two side walls of the valley area, which is convenient for drainage, cleaning and disinfection, and prevents the oral secretions (or vomit) from remaining. Therefore, the headrest 10 for prone position surgery is more suitable for patients, and can be more suitable for different patients (the distance between the head, jaw and eyes of different patients may be different), and is more friendly to patients in prone position surgery.
[0034] The above only describes the embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
