Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a support device for ventilation of tracheotomized patients. Background Technology
[0002] Tracheotomy is primarily suitable for patients with neurological, muscular, and respiratory system diseases. Examples include neurological conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage or Guillain-Barré syndrome; respiratory failure; severe lung infections; obstructive pulmonary diseases such as COPD; and severe asthma. After tracheotomy, patients require prone ventilation. Current techniques typically use headrests or similar devices for prone support. However, because patients need to remain in a prone position for extended periods, headrests place significant pressure on the front of the patient's body, potentially causing pressure sores and affecting comfort. Therefore, the practical effectiveness is limited. Consequently, designing a ventilation support device for tracheotomy patients is essential to address this issue. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a support device for ventilation of tracheostomy patients, which solves the problem that in existing technologies, when patients need to be in a prone position for a long time, using a head pillow for support will cause the front of the patient's body to bear great pressure, which is prone to pressure sores and thus affects the patient's comfort.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a support device for ventilation of tracheostomy patients, including a connecting plate and a first vertical plate, a pair of first vertical plates are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, a plurality of lifting rings are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first vertical plate, a support mechanism is installed on the lifting rings, and an adjustment mechanism is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate;
[0005] The support mechanism includes a hook connected to a lifting ring, a hanging rope connected to the bottom end of the hook, a connecting strap fixed to the end of the hanging rope away from the hook, and a sponge pad glued to the top end of the connecting strap.
[0006] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a pair of second vertical plates fixed to the bottom end of the connecting plate, a rectangular block fixed to the outer wall of the second vertical plate, a connecting rod hinged to the rectangular block by a pin, a third vertical plate hinged to the end of the connecting rod away from the rectangular block by a pin, a sliding plate fixed to the bottom end of the third vertical plate, a base plate slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding plate, and a rotating component installed at the top end of the base plate.
[0007] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a pair of fourth vertical plates fixed to the top of the base plate, the interior of the fourth vertical plates being rotatably connected to a bidirectional screw, and the outer periphery of the bidirectional screw being connected to the internal threads of a pair of third vertical plates.
[0008] Preferably, a handle is fixed to the middle outer periphery of the bidirectional screw.
[0009] Preferably, two pairs of telescopic rods are fixedly connected inside the connecting plate, and the bottom ends of the telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the base plate.
[0010] Beneficial effects
[0011] This utility model provides a support device for ventilation of tracheostomized patients, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This device can be moved to the bed used by tracheotomized patients, and the hooks can be hung on the rings. Then, the patient can be adjusted to a prone position so that the patient's forehead is in contact with the sponge pad on the connecting strap. Then, the handle is turned, which drives the double-ended screw to rotate. The double-ended screw, together with the base plate and the sliding plate, drives the third vertical plate to move. The third vertical plate then drives the connecting rod to move. The connecting rod then drives the second vertical plate to move through the rectangular block. In this way, the second vertical plate, together with the telescopic rod, can drive the connecting plate to move. The connecting plate, through the first vertical plate, etc., drives the connecting strap to move, thus adjusting the height of the patient's head. In this way, only the forehead of the tracheotomized patient is supported, which avoids pressure sores on the face and thus increases comfort. It also facilitates subsequent ventilation.

A pair of first vertical plates 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 1. A plurality of lifting rings 3 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first vertical plate 2. A support mechanism is installed on the lifting rings 3. An adjustment mechanism is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 1.
[0020] The support mechanism includes a hook 4 connected to the lifting ring 3, a hanging rope 5 connected to the bottom end of the hook 4, a connecting strap 6 fixed to the end of the hanging rope 5 away from the hook 4, and a sponge pad 7 glued to the top end of the connecting strap 6.
[0021] Three hanging rings 3 can be set on the first vertical plate 2 to increase the applicability. A sponge pad 7 can be set on the connecting strap 6. The sponge pad 7 has sweat-absorbing properties and is more comfortable.

A rectangular block 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second vertical plate 15. A connecting rod 13 is hinged to the rectangular block 14 via a pin. A third vertical plate 12 is hinged to the end of the connecting rod 13 away from the rectangular block 14 via a pin. A sliding plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the third vertical plate 12. A base plate 9 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding plate 17. A rotating component is installed at the top end of the base plate 9.
[0023] Two grooves are machined on the top of the base 9 to facilitate the movement of the skateboard 17.
