Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, and specifically relates to a prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties. Background Technology
[0002] Prone ventilation, as an adjunctive therapy, has been widely used in clinical practice, especially in the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), where it has shown significant efficacy. However, prone ventilation faces a series of challenges in practical application, one of which is the adjustment and support of the prone patient's body posture. In the prone position, the patient's body weight is unevenly distributed, especially on prominent areas such as the chest, pelvis, elbows, and knees. Prolonged pressure on these areas can easily lead to ischemia and hypoxia in the skin tissues, resulting in pressure sores. Pressure sores not only cause significant pain for patients but can also lead to serious complications such as infection, prolonging hospital stays and increasing medical costs. During prone oxygen therapy, patients often experience discomfort due to difficulty in adjusting their body posture and the lack of effective support. Traditionally, simple pillows or blankets are used for support while the patient is prone, but this method often fails to adequately meet the individualized needs of patients, particularly in terms of limited support and pressure relief for different parts of the body. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties.
[0004] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties, characterized in that it includes a body pad and a pillow pad connected to the body pad, the pillow pad is provided with a through groove, and multiple additional support pads are detachably provided on the body pad.
[0005] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the patient lies prone with their body and head aligned with the body pad and pillow pad respectively. The groove on the pillow pad allows treatment tools such as breathing tubes to pass through, so as not to affect the patient. Furthermore, multiple additional support pads can support multiple parts of the patient's body, avoiding pressure sores during prolonged prone lying.
[0006] In the aforementioned prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties, the pillow pad is configured as a ring.
[0007] In the aforementioned prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties, two channels are provided, with the two channels located on both sides of the pillow pad and close to the body pad.
[0008] In the aforementioned prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties, both of the aforementioned channels are provided with Velcro.
[0009] In the aforementioned prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties, the bottom of the pillow pad is provided with multiple support feet.
[0010] In the aforementioned prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties, the additional support pad includes a support pad body and a cover pad body for being fitted onto the body pad.
[0011] In the aforementioned prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties, multiple handles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the body pad.
[0012] In the aforementioned prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties, at least four additional support pads are provided, and each additional support pad is provided with two handles on both sides.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. The overall design of the air cushion provides a comfortable prone environment for patients, and the air cushion also provides flexible support for patients, making it less likely to form pressure sores.
[0015] 2. A groove is made in the pillow pad to allow treatment tools such as breathing tubes to pass through. With the addition of Velcro, the breathing tubes and other tools can be kept in the groove so as not to affect the patient.
[0016] 3. By setting up detachable additional support pads, key areas can be supported, and the number of additional support pads can be adjusted to meet the different support needs of patients. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-3As shown, the prone ventilation pillow for patients with breathing difficulties includes a body pad 1 and a pillow pad 2 connected to the body pad 1. The pillow pad 2 is provided with a through groove 3, and multiple additional support pads 4 are detachably provided on the body pad 1.
[0022] To elaborate further, the pillow pad 2 is designed as a ring; the center of the ring pillow pad 2 is hollowed out for the patient's head to rest on, the outer ring of the face rests on the pillow pad 2, and the mouth and nose are located in the hollowed-out part and will not be compressed, which can provide the patient with a comfortable prone position.
[0023] To elaborate further, there are two channels 3, which are located on both sides of the pillow pad 2 and close to the body pad 1. After the patient lies prone, the two channels 3 are located on both sides of the patient's neck. This layout is ergonomic and facilitates the placement of treatment tools such as breathing tubes.
[0024] To elaborate further, both channels 3 are equipped with Velcro 5; Velcro 5 can seal the channels 3 to prevent breathing tubes and other components inside the channels 3 from popping out.
[0025] To elaborate further, the pillow pad 2 has multiple support feet 6 at its bottom; the support feet 6 can raise the pillow pad 2 to a certain height, leaving a gap between the patient and the bed board for treatment tools such as ventilators, which can prevent the ventilator from pressing against the bed and causing pressure on the patient.
[0026] To elaborate further, the additional support pad 4 includes a support pad body 7 and a sleeve pad body 8 for fitting onto the body pad 1. When the body pad 1 is not inflated, the sleeve pad body 8 can be moved back and forth on the pad body for adjustment. When the body pad 1 is inflated to 70% to 80%, the sleeve pad body 8 will be tightened to fix the position of the additional support pad 4.
[0027] To elaborate further, multiple handles 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the body pad 1; the handles 9 adopt a sheet-like design, so that there are no large protrusions that would affect the movement of the additional support pad 4.
[0028] To elaborate further, at least four additional support pads 4 are provided, each with a handle 2 10 on both sides; the four additional support pads 4 are placed on four key areas of the patient: chest, hips, knees, and ankles / feet. During normal use, the additional support pads 4 are only slightly inflated to keep them relatively soft and prevent pressure sores from developing during prolonged prone positions; a total of six handles 1 9 are provided, and handles 2 10 can be used together with handles 1 9. In case of patient transfer, six people can work together to transfer the patient and the air cushion together.
[0029] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims. Although this document uses a large number of technical terms, the use of other terms is not excluded.
