[0009] In some embodiments, the prone turning air cushion further includes a third air cushion assembly, which includes a third air cushion body and third connectors disposed at opposite ends of the third air cushion body; wherein the third connectors are detachably connected to the first connectors and / or the second connectors, and / or the third connectors are detachably connected to the first air cushion body and / or the second air cushion body, so that the third air cushion body corresponds to the position of the patient's head; the air pump assembly further includes a third independent inflation channel communicating with the air pump body, and the third independent inflation channel is detachably connected to the inflation port of the third air cushion body.
[0010] In some embodiments, the third air cushion body is annular or U-shaped.
[0011] In some embodiments, the prone turning air cushion further includes an insertion tube fixing component, which is disposed at any one or more of the first air cushion body, the second air cushion body, and the third air cushion body.
[0012] In some embodiments, the prone turning air cushion further includes a fourth air cushion assembly, which includes a fourth air cushion body and fourth connectors disposed at opposite ends of the fourth air cushion body; wherein the fourth connector is detachably connected to the first connector and / or the second connector, and / or the fourth connector is detachably connected to the first air cushion body and / or the second air cushion body, so that the fourth connector corresponds to the patient's abdominal position; the air pump assembly further includes a fourth independent inflation channel communicating with the air pump body, and the fourth independent inflation channel is detachably connected to the inflation port of the four air cushion bodies.
[0013] In some embodiments, the first air cushion assembly further includes a plurality of first hooks and barbs disposed on the side of the first air cushion body closer to the patient; the second air cushion assembly further includes a plurality of second hooks and barbs disposed on the side of the second air cushion body closer to the patient.

[0017] The aforementioned prone-position turning air mattress has an air pump body that is detachably connected to the inflation port of the first air mattress body through a first independent inflation channel and to the inflation port of the second air mattress body through a second independent inflation channel. This allows the first and second air mattress bodies to remain relatively thin when uninflated, making them easy to place under the patient's back for turning the patient into a prone position on top of the first and second air mattress bodies. Alternatively, the first and second air mattress bodies can be placed in front of the patient's chest and rolled over with the patient to ensure a prone position on top of the first and second air mattress bodies. Then, the patient can be positioned according to their prone position... The prone positioning system allows for the separate inflation of the first and second air cushion units to provide support to the patient's body, improving ventilation and relieving prolonged pressure on the head, face, chest, and perineum. This significantly reduces the difficulty of turning over and the risk of pressure injury during prone ventilation. Furthermore, the first and second air cushion units can be inflated and deflated independently, allowing for independent adjustment of their inflation pressure. This ensures that pressure points on the patient's body are rotated, further reducing the risk of pressure injury. The detachable connection between the first and second air cushion units via first and second connectors allows for adjustment of their relative position. This allows for adjustments to the distance between the first and second air cushion units based on the patient's body size, ensuring a better fit and providing superior support.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0025] Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples in this application. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity purposes and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, this application provides examples of various specific processes and materials; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0026] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0027] Prone ventilation refers to ventilation performed by manually manipulating the patient or using methods such as turning devices or turning beds to induce a prone position. However, prolonged prone ventilation can easily cause pressure injury, requiring proactive nursing care. Early implementation of proactive nursing care can prevent mild cases from progressing to severe and critical conditions. As an important lung-protective strategy, prone ventilation is widely used in intensive care units. Its main principles are to effectively improve the ventilation-perfusion ratio, re-expand collapsed alveoli on the dorsal side, allow for better drainage of secretions from the lungs and trachea under the influence of gravity, and reduce pressure on the drooping lung areas from the heart and mediastinum. It can improve hypoxemia, hypercapnia, lung expandability, and hemodynamic parameters.
[0028] In related techniques, performing prone ventilation on a critically ill patient often requires the assistance of at least six people, and at least four soft pillows need to be placed under the patient's prone position. The preparation is complex and strenuous, and turning the patient over during prone ventilation is quite difficult. In addition, soft pillows are unlikely to provide effective support, which can easily lead to pressure injuries to the patient's head, face, chest, and perineum.
[0029] To address the technical problems of difficulty in turning patients over during prone ventilation and the high risk of pressure injuries, this application provides a prone turning air mattress, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the prone rolling air mattress includes a first air mattress assembly 100, a second air mattress assembly 200, and an air pump assembly 300. The first air cushion assembly 100 includes a first air cushion body 110 and at least two first connectors 120 spaced apart on the first air cushion body 110; the second air cushion assembly 200 includes a second air cushion body 210 and at least two second connectors 220 spaced apart on the second air cushion body 210, the second air cushion body 210 is symmetrically arranged with the first air cushion body 110, and the second connectors 220 are detachably connected to the first connectors 120 so that the first air cushion body 110 corresponds to the left half of the patient's body and the second air cushion body 210 corresponds to the right half of the patient's body; the air pump assembly 300 includes an air pump body, a first independent inflation channel 310 communicating with the air pump body, and a second independent inflation channel 320 communicating with the air pump body, the first independent inflation channel 310 is detachably connected to the inflation port of the first air cushion body 110, and the second independent inflation channel 320 is detachably connected to the inflation port of the second air cushion body 210.
[0030] The prone turning air mattress provided in the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the air pump body is detachably connected to the inflation port of the first air cushion body 110 via the first independent inflation channel 310 and to the inflation port of the second air cushion body 210 via the second independent inflation channel 320. This allows the first and second air cushion bodies 110 and 210 to remain relatively thin when uninflated, making them easy to place under the patient's back for easy turning and lying prone on top of the first and second air cushion bodies 110 and 210. Alternatively, the first and second air cushion bodies 110 and 210 can be placed on the patient's chest and rolled over with the patient to lie prone on top of the first and second air cushion bodies 110 and 210. According to the patient's prone position requirements, the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 are inflated to provide support for the patient's body, improve the patient's ventilation, and at the same time relieve the patient's head, face, chest, perineum and other areas from pressure for a longer period of time. This can greatly reduce the difficulty of turning over when the patient is prone and reduce the risk of pressure injury. On the other hand, the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 can be inflated and deflated independently, so that the inflation pressure of the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 can be adjusted independently, so that the pressure points on the patient's body can be rotated, which can further reduce the risk of pressure injury. Meanwhile, the relative positions of the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 can be adjusted through the detachable connection of the first connector 120 and the second connector 220. This allows the distance between the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 to be adjusted according to the patient's body size, making the distance between the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 more compatible with the patient's body and providing better support for the patient.
[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the surfaces of the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 may be provided with a latex layer. The latex layer can relieve pressure on the skin, thereby reducing the risk of pressure injury to a certain extent.
[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210, after being inflated, can be in the form of a cylinder, a cuboid, a C-shaped body, etc., to support the left and right halves of the patient's body, respectively. At the same time, the inflated shapes of the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 can be adapted to the shape of the body to provide more comfortable support for the patient.
[0033] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second connector 220 is connected to the first connector 120 by a strap or Velcro.
[0034] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first connector 120 and the second connector 220 can be connected by a tie or by Velcro, which can be easily detached and also allows for easy adjustment of the distance between the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210.
[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the first connector 120 and the second connector 220 can be cloth tape, so that they can be easily connected together by tying.
[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the first connector 120 and the second connector 220 may include a fabric tape and hook and loop fasteners respectively disposed on the fabric tape, thereby enabling the first connector 120 and the second connector 220 to be connected by hook and loop fasteners. This not only makes it easy to disconnect the connection between the first connector 120 and the second connector 220, but also ensures the stability of the connected structure and prevents it from being pulled apart.
[0037] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first air cushion assembly 100 further includes a first protective connector 130 disposed on the first air cushion body 110 opposite to the first connector 120, and the second air cushion assembly 200 further includes a second protective connector 230 disposed on the second air cushion body 210 opposite to the second connector 220, and the second protective connector 230 is detachably connected to the first protective connector 130.
[0038] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first air cushion body 110 is provided with a first protective connector 130, and the second air cushion body 210 is provided with a second protective connector 230. When the patient lies prone on the prone turning air cushion, the first protective connector 130 and the second protective connector 230 are connected after passing around the patient's back, so that the relative position of the prone turning air cushion and the patient can be fixed, reducing the possibility of relative slippage and displacement between the prone turning air cushion and the patient.
[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when a prone turning air mattress is laid out before the patient is turned into a prone position, the prone turning air mattress can be temporarily fixed to the bed frame by the first protective connector 130 and the second protective connector 230 to avoid the prone turning air mattress from moving or shifting when the patient is turned into a prone position later.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first protective connector 130 and the second protective connector 230 are connected by a tie or Velcro. The structure and connection method of the first protective connector 130 and the second protective connector 230 can be the same as those of the first connector 120 and the second connector 220, and will not be described again here.
[0041] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the prone turning air cushion also includes a third air cushion assembly 400, which includes a third air cushion body 410 and third connectors 420 disposed at opposite ends of the third air cushion body 410; wherein, the third connectors 420 are detachably connected to the first connector 120 and / or the second connector 220 respectively, and / or, the third connectors 420 are detachably connected to the first air cushion body 110 and / or the second air cushion body 210 respectively, so that the third air cushion body 410 corresponds to the position of the patient's head; the air pump assembly 300 also includes a third independent inflation channel 330 communicating with the air pump body, and the third independent inflation channel 330 is detachably connected to the inflation port of the third air cushion body 410.
[0042] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the prone turning air cushion also includes a third air cushion assembly 400. The third air cushion body 410 is detachably connected to any one or more of the first connecting member 120, the second connecting member 220, the first air cushion body 110, and the second air cushion body 210 via a third connecting member 420. This allows the third air cushion body 410 to correspond to the patient's head position. After the air pump body inflates the third air cushion body 410 through the third independent inflation channel 330, the third air cushion body 410 can provide a certain degree of support for the patient's head, which can reduce discomfort caused by the patient's head being suspended. At the same time, the third air cushion body 410 can be inflated and deflated independently, thereby allowing the inflation pressure of the third air cushion body 410 to be adjusted independently. This allows the pressure on the patient's head to be reduced or eliminated intermittently, thereby reducing the risk of discomfort and pressure injury caused by prolonged pressure on the patient's head. In addition, the third air cushion assembly 400 adopts a modular assembly method with the first air cushion assembly 100 and the second air cushion assembly 200, so that the prone rolling air cushion structure can be adjusted as needed, improving the versatility and convenience of the prone rolling air cushion in use.
[0043] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the third air cushion assembly 400 may also be provided with a binding strap 430 connected to the third air cushion body 410, so that the third air cushion body 410 is fixed to the patient's head by the binding strap 430 to prevent slippage.
[0044] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the third air cushion body 410 is ring-shaped or U-shaped.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the third air cushion body 410 is ring-shaped or U-shaped, so that when the third air cushion body 410 supports the patient's head, it can avoid supporting the patient's mouth, nose, eyes and other parts of the face, and support the patient's head around the perimeter, thereby improving the comfort of the support.
[0046] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the prone turning air cushion also includes an insertion tube fixing component 500, which is disposed at any one or more of the first air cushion body 110, the second air cushion body 210 and the third air cushion body 410.
[0047] Patients requiring prone ventilation, especially critically ill patients, may have intubation tubes or monitoring cables attached to their bodies, particularly deep vein catheters in the jugular vein and endotracheal tubes at the mouth and nose. These can easily slip out due to the cumbersome process of turning them over. In some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a cannula fixing component 500 is provided at any one or more of the first air cushion body 110, the second air cushion body 210 and the third air cushion body 410. The cannula fixing component 500 can initially fix the cannula or wire on the patient, so that the cannula or wire is fixed relative to the patient, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of dislodgement during the turning process.
[0048] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the prone turning air cushion also includes a fourth air cushion assembly 600, which includes a fourth air cushion body 610 and fourth connectors 620 disposed at opposite ends of the fourth air cushion body 610; wherein, the fourth connector 620 is detachably connected to the first connector 120 and / or the second connector 220, and / or, the fourth connector 620 is detachably connected to the first air cushion body 110 and / or the second air cushion body 210, so that the fourth connector 620 corresponds to the patient's abdominal position; the air pump assembly 300 also includes a fourth independent inflation channel communicating with the air pump body, and the fourth independent inflation channel is detachably connected to the inflation port of the four air cushion bodies.
[0049] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the prone turning air cushion also includes a fourth air cushion assembly 600. The fourth air cushion body 610 is detachably connected to any one or more of the first connecting member 120, the second connecting member 220, the first air cushion body 110, and the second air cushion body 210 via a fourth connecting member 620. This allows the fourth air cushion body 610 to correspond to the patient's abdominal position. After the air pump body inflates the fourth air cushion body 610 through the fourth independent inflation channel, the fourth air cushion body 610 can provide a certain degree of support for the patient's abdomen, which can reduce discomfort caused by the abdomen being suspended to a certain extent. At the same time, the fourth air cushion body 610 can be inflated and deflated independently, thereby allowing the inflation pressure of the fourth air cushion body 610 to be adjusted independently. This allows the pressure on the patient's abdomen to be reduced or eliminated intermittently, thereby reducing the risk of discomfort and pressure injury caused by prolonged pressure on the patient's abdomen. In addition, the fourth air cushion assembly 600 adopts a modular assembly method with the first air cushion assembly 100 and the second air cushion assembly 200, so that the prone rolling air cushion structure can be adjusted as needed, improving the versatility and convenience of the prone rolling air cushion in use.
[0050] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inflation shape of the third air cushion body 410 can be adapted to the usage area, such as by designing to avoid areas such as the perineum of the patient, which will not be elaborated here.
[0051] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first air cushion assembly 100 also includes a plurality of first hooks 140, which are disposed on the side of the first air cushion body 110 near the patient; the second air cushion assembly 200 also includes a plurality of second hooks 240, which are disposed on the side of the second air cushion body 210 near the patient.
[0052] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first hook 140 is located on the side of the first air cushion body 110 closest to the patient, and the second hook 240 is located on the side of the second air cushion body 210 closest to the patient. When the patient needs to be turned over in a prone position for ventilation, the first air cushion body 110 can be attached to the patient's clothing through the first hook 140, and the second air cushion body 210 can be attached to the patient's clothing through the second hook 240. Then, the patient and the prone turning air cushion can be turned over together. The prone turning air cushion can be set up at the same time as the patient is turned over in a prone position, so that the prone turning air cushion corresponds to the position of various parts of the patient's body. On the one hand, it can avoid the tedious procedure of laying the prone turning air mattress under the patient's back before turning the patient into a prone position. On the other hand, it can also avoid the situation where the patient's body position does not correspond to the position of the prone turning air mattress when turning the patient over after laying the prone turning air mattress first. It can avoid the need to frequently adjust the position of the patient or the prone turning air mattress, thereby reducing the physical burden on the patient and the manpower burden on medical staff to a certain extent.
[0053] As an alternative implementation method, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air pump assembly 300 also includes a controller connected to the air pump body, a battery connected to the air pump, and a fourth independent inflation channel 340 of the housing 340; 350, the controller, battery, and air pump body are disposed within the fourth independent inflation channel 350 of the housing 340.
[0054] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, by placing the controller, battery, and air pump body of the air pump assembly 300 inside the fourth independent inflation channel 340 of the housing 350, the air pump assembly 300 can be integrated into a single structure for easy operation and movement.
[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the controller is connected to the air pump body and can independently control the inflation and deflation of the first independent inflation channel 310, the second independent inflation channel 320, the third independent inflation channel 330, and the fourth independent inflation channel, thereby adjusting the inflation pressure of the first air cushion body 110, the second air cushion body 210, the third air cushion body 410, and the fourth air cushion body 610. This allows for rotation of pressure points on the patient's body or adjustment of pressure levels, reducing the risk of pressure injuries even when the patient is prohibited from turning over. Optionally, the controller may be pre-installed with a certain degree of pressure adjustment, enabling automatic pressure regulation of the first air cushion body 110, the second air cushion body 210, the third air cushion body 410, and the fourth air cushion body 610.
[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 340 has a fourth independent inflation channel; the housing 350 may be equipped with an operating interface and / or a display interface connected to a controller. The operating interface may be a touch panel or several control keys, allowing for the inflation, deflation, and pressure adjustment of each air cushion unit at any time. The display interface may display pressure information and / or battery power information of each air cushion unit, so that medical personnel can monitor the usage status of the prone turning air cushion at any time.
[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the air pump assembly 300 is equipped with a battery connected to the air pump body. The battery powers the air pump body, facilitating the maintenance of power on the prone turning air cushion during patient transport. This allows the first air cushion body 110, the second air cushion body 210, the third air cushion body 410, and the fourth air cushion body 610 to remain inflated, or to inflate, deflate, and adjust the pressure of any one of the first air cushion body 110, the second air cushion body 210, the third air cushion body 410, and the fourth air cushion body 610. Optionally, the battery can be a rechargeable battery, such as a lithium battery.
[0058] As an optional implementation, the housing 340 has a fourth independent inflation channel; a hanging bracket is provided on the 350.
[0059] In some embodiments of this application, by providing a hanger on the fourth independent inflation channel 350 of the housing 340, the air pump assembly 300 can be hung on a transport bed frame or other positions, and the patient can be transported using a prone turning air mattress to ensure uninterrupted measures to prevent pressure injury.
[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the prone turning air mattress can be used in the following two ways:
[0061] One method involves connecting the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 to the first connector 120 and the second connector 220, adjusting their relative positions. When head support and / or abdominal support are required, the third air cushion body 410 and / or the fourth air cushion body 610 also need to be connected. Two people stand on one side of the patient, turn the patient over, and place the connected prone turning air cushion behind the patient. Then, the patient is turned over and placed prone on the prone turning air cushion. Afterward, the first connector 120 and the second connector 220 can be untied and then reconnected after passing around the patient's back, or the first protective connector 130 and the second protective connector 230 can be reconnected after passing around the patient's back, so that the entire prone turning air cushion is fixed relative to the patient and is not prone to slippage. Finally, each air cushion body is inflated and the pressure is adjusted as needed.
[0062] Another method involves connecting the first air cushion body 110 and the second air cushion body 210 to the first connector 120 and the second connector 220 and adjusting their relative positions. When head support and / or abdominal support are required, the third air cushion body 410 and / or the fourth air cushion body 610 also need to be connected. Then, the connected prone turning air cushion is placed in front of the patient.
