Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital supplies, and in particular to a prone ventilation head support frame. Background Technology

[0002] Mechanical ventilation in the prone position is an adjunct therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome. Its mechanism involves utilizing gravity to increase blood flow to the anterior chest and ventilation in the back, thus improving gas exchange. These patients often undergo tracheotomy, with an endotracheal tube inserted into the larynx and connected to a ventilator. If they are placed prone on the bed, the bed will compress the endotracheal tube and ventilator tubing, and procedures such as suctioning will be difficult due to the obstruction of the bed.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned problems with mechanical ventilation in the prone position, the commonly used solution is to remove the front panel of the bed, move the patient so that their head and neck protrude from the bed, and place a small table under the patient's head, with the patient's neck facing the gap between the table and the bed. This creates an open space under the patient's neck, preventing compression of the endotracheal tube and ventilator tubing, and allowing for nursing procedures such as suctioning. Patents with application numbers 201821583733.2, 202120633462.2, and 202020727392.2 all disclose head support frames for prone ventilation.

[0004] The aforementioned small table-style prone ventilation head support frame is placed on the ground without any other fixation. If it is accidentally bumped, it is easy to move, causing the patient's head to move or even move out of the support frame, which poses a certain safety hazard.

[0005] Furthermore, prolonged placement of the patient's head on a prone ventilation head support can cause pressure sores due to prolonged pressure on the local skin. A prone ventilation head support that improves this situation would greatly benefit patient recovery. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a more secure prone ventilation head support frame.

[0007] The technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problems is as follows: the prone ventilation head support frame includes a mounting frame, a crossbeam, a support plate, and a head pad; there are two mounting frames, each including a vertical insert rod and a horizontal rod, with the rear end of the horizontal rod connected to the vertical insert rod to form an L-shaped structure; the two mounting frames are parallel and spaced apart in the left and right directions; the crossbeam is arranged in the left and right directions, with both ends of the crossbeam mounted on the two horizontal rods respectively; the support plate is horizontally arranged in the middle of the crossbeam, with the front end of the support plate mounted on the crossbeam, and the support plate has a through groove extending forward from the rear edge of the support plate, with the head pad arranged around the through groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the front and rear positions of the crossbeam are adjustable.

[0009] Furthermore, the crossbeam includes a crossbeam body, a crossbeam sleeve, and crossbeam positioning screws. There are two crossbeam sleeves, which are connected to both ends of the crossbeam respectively. The two crossbeam sleeves are respectively fitted onto two horizontal bars. The crossbeam positioning screws are set one-to-one with the crossbeam sleeves. The crossbeam positioning screws are threadedly connected to the crossbeam sleeves and can tighten against the horizontal bars.

[0010] Furthermore, the horizontal bar has a circular cross-sectional shape.

[0011] Furthermore, it includes a support plate sleeve and a support plate positioning screw. The support plate sleeve is fitted onto the crossbeam, and the support plate positioning screw is threadedly connected to the support plate sleeve and tightens against the crossbeam. The support plate is connected to the support plate sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the beam is rectangular.

[0013] Furthermore, the head pad includes a forehead pad and two face pads. The forehead pad is located in front of the groove, and the two face pads are located on the left and right sides of the groove, respectively. The height of both the forehead pad and the face pads is adjustable.

[0014] Furthermore, the prone ventilation head support frame includes three adjusting bolts; the support plate has three mounting grooves, which are respectively used to accommodate the forehead pad and two face pads; the forehead pad includes a forehead pad slider and a flexible forehead pad surface layer connected to the forehead pad slider, with the forehead pad slider inserted into the mounting groove; the face pad includes a face pad slider and a flexible face pad surface layer connected to the face pad slider, with the face pad slider inserted into the mounting groove; the adjusting bolts are threaded to the base plate of the mounting grooves, and the adjusting bolts are used to support the forehead pad or face pad.

[0015] Furthermore, the adjusting bolt includes a flat head, a screw, and a knob arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The screw is threadedly connected to the base plate of the mounting groove. When the flat head is in contact with the base plate of the mounting groove, the forehead pad or face pad is at its lowest position. When the knob is in contact with the base plate of the mounting groove, the forehead pad or face pad is at its highest position.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the mounting frame is designed according to the structure of common hospital beds, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a common hospital bed has two pins on its front panel, which are inserted into sockets on the bed frame for connection. These two sockets are restricted when the front panel is removed. This invention utilizes two sockets for installation.

[0017] like Figure 6As shown, two vertical inserts are inserted into the holes in the main body of the bed, and the invention is then installed. The support plate is located at the front of the bed. Moving the patient so that their head protrudes from the bed and rests on the headrest provides head support; the neck is supported by the groove, preventing pressure on the endotracheal tube and ventilator tubing, and also allowing for nursing procedures such as suctioning.

[0018] Compared to existing technologies, this invention is fixed to the hospital bed and will not move even if touched, preventing the patient's head from moving or slipping out of the support. Therefore, this invention is safer to use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, the prone ventilation head support frame includes a mounting frame 1, a crossbeam 2, a support plate 4, and a head pad 5. There are two mounting frames 1, each including a vertical insert rod 11 and a horizontal rod 12. The rear end of the horizontal rod 12 is connected to the vertical insert rod 11 to form an L-shaped structure. The two mounting frames 1 are parallel and spaced apart in the left and right directions. The crossbeam 2 is arranged in the left and right directions, with both ends of the crossbeam mounted on the two horizontal rods 12 respectively. The support plate 4 is horizontally arranged in the middle of the crossbeam 2, with the front end of the support plate 4 mounted on the crossbeam 2. The support plate 4 has a through groove 41 extending forward from the rear edge of the support plate 4, and the head pad 5 is arranged around the through groove 41.

[0029] The mounting bracket is designed according to the structure of common hospital beds, such as Figure 1 As shown, a common hospital bed has two pins on its front panel, which are inserted into sockets on the bed frame for connection. These two sockets are restricted when the front panel is removed. This invention utilizes two sockets for installation.

[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, two vertical inserts 11 are inserted into the insertion holes of the main body of the bed, and the utility model is then installed. The support plate 4 is located at the front of the bed. When the patient is moved so that the patient's head protrudes from the bed, the patient's head is placed on the headrest 5, which provides support for the patient's head; the neck faces the groove 41, so the endotracheal tube and ventilator tubing are not compressed, and nursing operations such as suctioning can also be performed through the groove 41.

[0031] Compared to existing technologies, this invention is fixed to the hospital bed and will not move even if touched, preventing the patient's head from moving or slipping out of the support. Therefore, this invention is safer to use.

[0032] Patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in the prone position are often severely ill or even comatose, making movement difficult. Moving the patient to align their head with the head support 5 is relatively challenging; ideally, the support plate 4 should be adjustable. Therefore, this invention preferably features the following configuration: the front and rear positions of the crossbeam 2 are adjustable. The crossbeam 2 includes a crossbeam body 22, a crossbeam sleeve 21, and crossbeam positioning screws 23. There are two crossbeam sleeves 21, each connected to one end of the crossbeam 2. The two crossbeam sleeves 21 are fitted onto two horizontal bars 12. The crossbeam positioning screws 23 correspond one-to-one with the crossbeam sleeves 21, and are threadedly connected to the crossbeam sleeves 21, securing them to the horizontal bars 12. The prone ventilation head support frame includes a support plate sleeve 3 and a support plate positioning screw 7. The support plate sleeve 3 is fitted onto the crossbeam 2, and the support plate positioning screw 7 is threadedly connected to the support plate sleeve 3, securing it to the crossbeam 2. The support plate 4 is connected to the support plate sleeve 3.

[0033] Loosen the crossbeam positioning screw 23, allowing the crossbeam 2 to move back and forth, which in turn moves the support plate 4 back and forth. Loosen the support plate positioning screw 7, allowing the support plate 4 to move left and right. This achieves position adjustment of the support plate 4. After the patient's head protrudes from the bed, the position of the support plate 4 can be adjusted so that the head pad 5 and the groove 41 are aligned with the patient's head and neck, respectively. This is more convenient than adjusting the patient's position. After adjusting the position, tighten the crossbeam positioning screw 23 and the support plate positioning screw 7 again to lock the position of the support plate 4.

[0034] The cross-sectional shape of the horizontal bar 12 is preferably circular. Thus... Figure 7 As shown, mounting bracket 1 can be rotated to a horizontal position, and the prone ventilation head support frame is flat for easy storage. It can also be used as... Figure 4 As shown, a flat surface is machined on the circular horizontal bar 12, and the beam positioning screw 23 is placed on this flat surface, thus improving the positioning effect of the beam 2.

[0035] The cross-sectional shape of the beam 2 is preferably rectangular. This prevents the support plate 4 from rotating and keeps it horizontal during use.

[0036] As described in the background art, when a patient's head is placed on a prone ventilation head support for a long time, the local skin is subjected to prolonged pressure, which may cause pressure sores. To improve this situation, the head pad 5 preferably includes a forehead pad 51 and two face pads 52. The forehead pad 51 is located in front of the groove 41, and the two face pads 52 are located on the left and right sides of the groove 41, respectively. The height of the forehead pad 51 and the face pads 52 are adjustable.

[0037] This adjustment allows the forehead pad 51 and face pad 52 to be level, thus applying pressure to both the patient's forehead and face. Lowering the forehead pad 51 applies pressure only to the face, while the forehead remains unaffected. Lowering the face pad 52 applies pressure only to the forehead, leaving the face unaffected. These three states can be alternated, allowing for intermittent pressure on the patient's forehead and face, preventing prolonged pressure on the scalp and thus avoiding pressure sores.

[0038] The height adjustment of the forehead pad 51 and face pad 52 can be achieved as follows: The prone ventilation head support frame includes three adjusting bolts 6; the support plate 4 has three mounting grooves 42, which are respectively used to accommodate the forehead pad 51 and the two face pads 52; the forehead pad 51 includes a forehead pad slider 511 and a flexible forehead pad surface layer 512 connected to the forehead pad slider 511, with the forehead pad slider 511 inserted into the mounting groove 42; the face pad 52 includes a face pad slider 521 and a flexible face pad surface layer 522 connected to the face pad slider 521, with the face pad slider 521 inserted into the mounting groove 42; the adjusting bolts 6 are threadedly connected to the base plate of the mounting groove 42, and the adjusting bolts 6 are used to support the forehead pad 51 or the face pad 52. By rotating the adjusting bolts 6 to move them up and down, the height adjustment of the forehead pad 51 and face pad 52 can be achieved.

[0039] The preferred adjusting bolt 6 includes a flat head 61, a screw 62, and a knob 63 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The screw 62 is threadedly connected to the base plate of the mounting groove 42. When the flat head 61 is in contact with the base plate of the mounting groove 42, the forehead pad 51 or face pad 52 is at its lowest position. When the knob 63 is in contact with the base plate of the mounting groove 42, the forehead pad 51 or face pad 52 is at its highest position.
