Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to postoperative recovery appliance equipment technical field, concretely relates to a pillow for preventing head pressure sore of brain surgery postoperative patient. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pressure sore, also known as bed sore, is caused by long-term compression of local tissue, affecting blood circulation, leading to persistent ischemia, hypoxia and malnutrition of local skin and subcutaneous tissue, and tissue ulceration and necrosis. After brain surgery, patients often need to lie in bed for a long time. Due to factors such as consciousness disorder, incision pain and malnutrition, patients are in a passive position, and the head is under pressure for a long time, especially the occipital and ear parts, which are prone to pressure sores. This not only increases the patient's pain and the family's economic burden, but also increases the workload of nursing staff. The traditional pillow design often directly contacts the patient's head, which cannot effectively disperse the pressure, resulting in long-term compression of local tissue and increasing the risk of pressure sores. Especially after brain surgery, the presence of surgical incisions on the patient's head further increases the risk of pressure sores. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a pillow that can effectively reduce the risk of head pressure sores in brain surgery patients. At present, there are some pillow designs on the market that aim to prevent pressure sores, but these pillows mostly focus on overall pressure reduction and do not consider the specific needs of brain surgery patients. For example, some turning pillows can help maintain the patient's effective position and prevent pressure sores, but their design is mainly aimed at other parts of the body and has limited effect on preventing head pressure sores. In addition, some head protection pillows consider head support and pressure reduction, but often have complex structures, are inconvenient to use, and do not consider the specific needs of brain surgery patients, such as surgical incision location and head shape. SUMMARY

[0003] To solve the above problems, the utility model embodiment provides a pillow for preventing head pressure sores in brain surgery patients by designing a support body to replace the conventional pillow that directly contacts the patient's head, reducing the risk of pressure sores when the patient lies in bed for a long time after surgery.
