Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies, specifically a positioning pad for gastrointestinal endoscopy. Background Technology

[0002] Gastroscopy and colonoscopy are the most common examination methods in gastroenterology. They involve using an endoscope to enter the patient's gastrointestinal tract to observe for lesions. They allow for direct visualization of the stomach, esophagus, duodenum, colon, and rectum, and play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract diseases.

[0003] A positioning pad for gastroscopy and colonoscopy is a tool used to help patients maintain the correct position during the procedure. A correct position helps doctors observe the inside of the gastrointestinal tract more clearly, reducing the risk of prolonged examination time or misdiagnosis due to improper positioning. Using a positioning pad can also reduce patient discomfort during the examination, improving patient tolerance and satisfaction.

[0004] During gastroscopy and colonoscopy, general anesthesia is usually used to put the patient in an unconscious state. However, patients are prone to making unconscious movements and changing their position when unconscious, which can affect the process and results of the examination. Existing positioning pads cannot actively monitor patients during the examination, and medical staff still need to be present at all times, which increases the burden on medical staff. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the existing positioning pads for gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Utility Model Content

In addition, both the outer wall of the limiting block 9 and the outer wall of the anti-turning backrest 8 are equipped with magnets that attract each other, thereby better ensuring the stability of the anti-turning backrest 8.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 Multiple sets of restraint straps 5 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the anti-rollover backrest 8 to better restrain the patient and prevent the patient from moving in an unconscious state. In addition, the restraint straps 5 are elastic straps, which allow the restraint straps 5 to adapt to the body shape of different patients, thereby improving the patient's comfort during the examination process.

[0037] Please see Figure 1The bottom of the hip elevation pad 7 is attached to the pad body 2 via Velcro, allowing the position of the hip elevation pad 7 to be adjusted to suit the body shape of different patients. The top surface of the hip elevation pad 7 is sloping, which ensures good comfort for patients when they lie on the pad body 2 with their buttocks placed on the hip elevation pad 7. The hip elevation pad 7 is also equipped with a protective cover for easy regular cleaning.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the body positioning pad, the patient lies on the left side on the pad 2, with the head pressed against the curved surface of the pillow 3. The surface material of the pillow 3 is made of elastic and soft material, so that the patient is in a comfortable state during the examination. Then, the patient's back is pressed against the side of the anti-rollback board 8. At the same time, the limiting block 9 provides one-sided support to the anti-rollback board 8, so that the anti-rollback board 8 provides support for the patient's body and prevents the patient from rolling over unconsciously, thereby avoiding accidents during the examination. Then, the buttocks are placed on the buttock lifting pad 7 to raise the patient's buttocks, making it easier for medical staff to perform gastroscopy and colonoscopy. The patient's left leg is straight and placed naturally on the pad 2, and the right leg is bent so that the popliteal fossa is pressed against the popliteal fossa cushion 6. Then, the position of the popliteal fossa cushion 6 is adjusted with the fixing column 61 as the center so that the patient's legs are in a comfortable position. After the patient maintains the correct posture, multiple sets of restraint straps 5 are used to restrain the patient's body to ensure that the patient cannot move unconsciously during the examination, so that the examination can be carried out smoothly.

[0039] During use, the body position movement reminder 4 and the body position movement sensor 41 monitor the patient's behavior. If any part of the patient's body moves, the body position movement sensor 41 will detect it and send a signal to the body position movement reminder 4. Then, the body position movement reminder 4 will immediately remind medical staff to pay close attention to the patient's behavior through sound, light or other means. This is to prevent the patient from moving their body position unconsciously, which could affect the examination process and results, and reduce the possibility of accidental injury caused by the patient's lack of consciousness, thereby improving the safety of the examination process.
