Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mattress technology, specifically to a prone ventilation mattress for critically ill children with endotracheal intubation. Background Technology

[0002] Prone positioning ventilation refers to breathing or mechanical ventilation while the patient is in a prone position. It is primarily used to improve hypoxemia, promote alveolar re-expansion, and facilitate secretion drainage, and is widely used, especially in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Currently, in pediatric intensive care, prone positioning ventilation significantly improves lung oxygenation and has the advantage of reducing mortality. Prone positioning ventilation mattresses are assistive devices specifically designed for prone positioning ventilation therapy, reducing the risk of pressure sores and improving ventilation effectiveness by optimizing postural support and pressure distribution. However, for critically ill children with endotracheal intubation, prolonged prone positioning increases the incidence of pressure injuries and the rate of unplanned extubation.

[0003] For example, the multi-functional decompression mattress for prone ventilation disclosed in patent CN208942654U, although it uses memory foam to reduce pressure on the pressure points and can be flexibly adjusted according to the individual height differences of patients, and the disassembled parts can be used for decompression in other positions, making it versatile in function; however, in actual use, the size of the decompression perforation holes is fixed. Because the head circumference of the children is different, different patients cannot fit their faces well against the side walls of the decompression perforation holes when they are prone for ventilation, resulting in uneven pressure on the patient's face and easily causing pressure injury to the face. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a prone ventilation mattress for critically ill children with endotracheal intubation, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0030] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This embodiment will be described in further detail.

[0032] Combination Figures 1-6As shown, a prone ventilation mattress for critically ill children with endotracheal intubation in this embodiment includes a mattress board 100 and a face pad 110, a hand pad 120, a chest pad 130 and a foot pad 140 disposed on the mattress board 100. The face pad 110 includes a pad body 200. The upper side of the pad body 200 is provided with outwardly protruding convex pad portions 201. The upper side of the convex pad portions 201 is provided with inflatable and deflated air cushions 210. Pressure relief perforations 202 are formed between the convex pad portions 201. The pad body 200 is installed on the mattress board 100 through a disassembly and assembly assembly.

[0033] The assembly includes a mounting housing 310 that can be detachably mounted on the mattress board 100. The mounting housing 310 has a locking component inside. The lower side of the mattress body 200 has a plug-in block 220 that extends into the mounting housing 310. The locking component is used to fix the plug-in block 220. The mounting housing 310 also has a suction component, which is used to suction saliva from the pressure-reducing perforated hole 202.

[0034] In this embodiment, the mattress board 100 supports the face pad 110, hand pad 120, chest pad 130, and foot pad 140. In actual use, the face pad 110, hand pad 120, chest pad 130, and foot pad 140 are independent components. The face pad 110 is detachably mounted to the mattress board 100 via a disassembly assembly, while the hand pad 120, chest pad 130, and foot pad 140 are fixedly mounted to the mattress board 100. This allows the child to lie prone in a ventilated position when using the prone ventilation mattress. On the mattress board 100, the child's face is placed on the opposite convex pad 201, with the mouth suspended above the pressure relief perforation 202. To avoid affecting the child's breathing, the pressure relief perforation 202 extends to form side grooves connecting to the outside. The child's arms are placed on the hand pads 120 on both sides of the mattress board 100, and the chest pad 130 supports the child's chest, while the foot pad 140 supports the child's legs and feet, thus better enabling the child to lie prone on the prone ventilation mattress.

[0035] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 As shown, the air cushion 210 is arranged in an arc shape, and multiple air cushions are distributed sequentially from the pressure relief perforation 202 to the outside of the convex pad 201. The air cushion 210 is designed so that, in actual use, the corresponding air cushion 210 can be inflated according to the size of the child's head circumference to support the child's face, so that the face can receive more comprehensive support, thereby reducing the possibility of facial pressure injury.

[0036] The gasket 210 is equipped with an air nozzle, which is connected to an air pump via an air pipe. Thus, the air pump can be used to better inflate and deflate the gasket 210.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the comfort of the hand pad 120, chest pad 130 and foot pad 140 when supporting the child, the hand pad 120, chest pad 130 and foot pad 140 are all made of memory foam, and the memory foam is covered with a layer of cotton cloth to provide better protection for the memory foam.

[0038] In this embodiment, since the child is lying prone on the air-conditioned mattress, the endotracheal intubation will cause increased saliva secretion, which will flow into the decompression hole 202 for collection. At this time, the suction component is designed to better drain the saliva from the decompression hole 202, avoiding excessive saliva accumulation in the decompression hole 202 and affecting the child's use.

[0039] In order to facilitate the removal and installation of the face pad 110 for cleaning, in this embodiment, the insertion block 220, the mounting housing 310, and the locking member are configured so that the insertion block 220 penetrates the mattress board 100 and extends into the mounting housing 310, and is locked and fixed by the locking member, thereby better realizing the removal and installation of the pad 200 on the mattress board 100.

[0040] Specifically, in order to better realize the assembly and disassembly of the mounting housing 310 on the lower side of the mattress board 100, in this embodiment, the two ends of the mounting housing 310 extend outward to form mounting portions 404. The mounting portions 404 are fixedly mounted on the mattress board 100 by screws, thereby better realizing the assembly and disassembly of the mounting housing 310. The mounting housing 310 is also used for the installation of the suction component, making the structure of the ventilated mattress more compact.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the prone ventilation mattress is used in conjunction with a bed frame. The bed frame has a hollow design so that when the mattress board 100 is attached to the bed frame, the mounting housing 310 can extend into the bed frame, allowing the mattress board 100 to be laid flat on the bed frame so that the child can lie prone on the prone ventilation mattress.

[0042] Combination Figures 4-6As shown, in this embodiment, slots 221 are provided on opposite sidewalls of the plug-in block 220, and the upper end of the mounting housing 310 is provided with a socket 401 for the plug-in block 220 to extend into. Mounting cavities 402 are provided on opposite sides of the socket 401 inside the mounting housing 310. The locking member includes a sliding block 610 slidably disposed in the corresponding mounting cavity 402. The sliding block 610 is provided with a tongue 611 that can extend into the socket 401. A driving member is provided in the mounting cavity 402 for driving the sliding block 610 to move relative to each other. The driving member drives the sliding block 610 to move closer to each other and causes the tongue 611 to extend into the corresponding slot 221, so as to fix the plug-in block 220 in the socket 401.

[0043] In actual use, this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the socket 401 is a square hole. The shape of the plug block 220 is adapted to the shape of the socket 401, so that when the plug block 220 is inserted into the socket 401, the pad 200 is restricted and will not shake on the mattress board 100, that is, the face pad 110 will not shake and affect the use of the child.

[0044] With the structure in this embodiment, when the plug block 220 is inserted into the plug hole 401, the driving member drives the sliding blocks 610 to move closer to each other, thereby causing the tongue 611 to extend into the corresponding slot 221, so that the locking member locks and fixes the plug block 220. When the driving member drives the sliding blocks 610 to move away from each other, that is, causes the tongue 611 to retract, releasing the fixation of the plug block 220, so that the face pad 110 can be removed and installed.

[0045] In this embodiment, the driving component includes a driving block 630 slidably disposed in the mounting cavity 402 via a spring 620. The driving block 630 is provided with a pushing part 631, and the pushing part 631 is provided with a first inclined surface. The sliding block 610 is provided with a pressing part 612, and the pressing part 612 is provided with a second inclined surface that cooperates with the first inclined surface. The spring 620 is used to push the driving block 630 to move, thereby causing the first inclined surface to press the second inclined surface to extend the tongue 611 into the insertion hole 401. The mounting cavity 402 is provided with a tension spring 640 for pulling the sliding block 610 to retract the tongue 611.

[0046] In actual use, the opening of the mounting cavity 402 is set towards the outer side of the mounting housing 310. A removable plug is provided at the opening of the mounting cavity 402 by screws, thereby better realizing the installation and removal of the locking member in the mounting cavity 402.

[0047] Specifically, a sliding cavity 501 penetrating the mounting housing 310 is provided on one side wall of the mounting cavity 402. One end of the driving block 630 extends through the corresponding sliding cavity 501, thereby allowing the driving block 630 to be slidably mounted within the mounting cavity 402. The elastic force of the spring 620 is greater than the tension force of the tension spring 640, so that in the initial state, the spring 620 pushes the driving block 630 to move, causing the first inclined surface to press against the second inclined surface, so that the sliding block 610 drives the tongue 611 to extend into the insertion hole 401. At this time, the tension spring 640 is stretched. When the driving block 630 is pushed into the mounting cavity 402, it can drive the first inclined surface away from the second inclined surface. At this time, the stretched tension spring 640 returns to its original position, causing the sliding block 610 to slide and the tongue 611 to retract, thereby enabling the insertion block 220 to extend into or detach from the insertion hole 401.

[0048] In actual use, in order to facilitate the operator to push the two drive blocks 630 to move synchronously from the outside, in this embodiment, the mounting housing 310 is provided with a handle 410. The two ends of the handle 410 pass through the mounting housing 310 and are connected to the corresponding drive block 630. By pressing the handle 410, the drive block 630 is moved to realize the retraction of the tongue 611, which makes the operation simple and convenient and is conducive to actual use.

[0049] In this embodiment, the plug block 220 is provided with a flow channel 222 that passes through and connects to the pressure relief hollow hole 202; the mounting housing 310 is provided with a cavity 403, and the suction assembly includes a collection tank 420 disposed in the cavity 403. The collection tank 420 is connected to the flow channel 222 through a suction pipe 430, and a suction device 431 is connected to the suction pipe 430.

[0050] In actual use, the cavity 403 has an opening on one side, and an openable side door 311 is provided at the opening, thereby better realizing the installation of the suction component in the mounting housing 310.

[0051] The insertion end of the plug block 220 forms an installation tube that communicates with the flow channel 222. Thus, in actual use, the upper end of the suction tube 430 is inserted into the installation tube, and the other end is connected to the collection tank 420. This allows the saliva in the decompression hole 202 to be collected in the collection tank 420 under the action of gravity through the flow channel 222 and the suction tube 430, thereby reducing the accumulation of saliva in the decompression hole 202 and affecting the child's use.

[0052] The suction device 431 employs an existing low-negative-pressure suction device, which, under its action, can further promote the flow of saliva, thereby promoting its collection in the collection tank 420.

[0053] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
