[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The multifunctional protective pillow for neurological critical care shown includes a pillow 1, which includes an open pillow frame and a pillow skin with a zipper covering the pillow frame. The pillow skin has multiple pillow skin holes 2. The pillow 1 has detachable C-shaped pillow edges 4 on both sides. The two C-shaped pillow edges 4 are fixedly connected to a base 10 below each other. A detachable cushion is provided above one of the C-shaped pillow edges 4. The cushion is detachable from the pillow skin of the pillow 1. A transition pillow 7 is also provided on one side of the pillow 1. The transition pillow 7 has shoulder support pillows 6 that are detachable from the base 10 on both sides.

[0023] To address the inadequacy of existing medical pillows in providing adequate protection for the head and cervical spine of patients, this invention proposes a multifunctional protective pillow for neurological intensive care. The pillow 1 is designed with one side higher than the other to better support and wrap the head and cervical spine. It also includes side pads on both sides of the pillow 1, which, by placing different numbers of pads under the patient's head, create a tilted head position. This tilting provides advantages such as facilitating the connection of drainage tubes, fixing the patient's head position, protecting the bone window surface for patients with different head circumferences, and simplifying dressing changes for head wounds. A transition pillow 7 is located at the junction of the patient's head and neck, providing excellent transition and protection. Furthermore, shoulder supports 6 are located on both sides of the transition pillow 7, ensuring proper support and preventing the shoulders from being unsupported due to the transition pillow 7 being too high, thus making the patient more comfortable when lying down.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the pillow includes a first pillow 3 and a second pillow 31. Both the first pillow 3 and the second pillow 31 are trapezoidal. The top surface of the first pillow 3 is provided with a fan-shaped groove to facilitate fixing the head. The bottom surfaces of the first pillow 3 and the second pillow 31 are both fixedly connected with the male side of Velcro. The top surface of the second pillow 31 is fixedly connected with the female side of Velcro. The pillowcases of the first pillow 3 and the second pillow 31 are wrapped with the pillow frame by zippers.

[0025] The fan-shaped groove of the first pillow 3 can fix the patient's head. At the same time, the male side of the Velcro at the bottom of the first pillow 3 and the female side of the Velcro at the bottom of the second pillow 31 can be used to make the pillows detachable. In addition, the pillow cover and the pillow frame can be detached by a zipper, which makes it convenient for the patient to clean and disinfect the pillows after use.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top surface of pillow 1 is fixedly connected with two female sides of Velcro, which facilitates the adhesion of the female sides of Velcro on the top surface of pillow 1 to the male sides of Velcro on the bottom surface of the first cushion 3 and the second cushion 31.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the pillow 1 are fixedly connected with hanging rings 12, and the C-shaped pillow edge 4 is fixedly connected with two hooks 32 that are compatible with the hanging rings 12;

[0028] The hook 32 and the hanging ring 12 make it easy to remove the pillow 1, and after removal, it is easy to clean and disinfect the pillowcase.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the base 10 includes a memory foam board 103 that is adapted to the bottom surface size of the pillow 1. Both sides of the memory foam board 103 are fixedly connected to U-shaped support seats 101. One side of each of the two U-shaped support seats 101 is fixedly connected to the female side of Velcro. One side of each of the two shoulder pillows 6 is fixedly connected to the male side of Velcro.

[0030] When the pillow is fixed, the hanging ring 12 of the pillow 1 is hung on the hook 32 of the C-shaped pillow side 4. This connection, together with the memory foam board 103 at the bottom of the pillow 1, can be adjusted at a certain angle, so that the pillow 1 and the transition pillow 7 fit the patient's head and cervical spine better, increasing comfort.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, one side of each of the two shoulder pillows 6 is fixedly connected to an elastic band 8, and one side of the elastic band 8 is fixedly connected to a clothes hook 9.

[0032] The clothes hook 9 can be used to secure the patient's clothes or bedding, effectively providing fixation and protection.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the pillow frame of pillow 1 is inclined with one side higher than the other. The design of pillow 1 with one side higher than the other fits the patient's head better and increases the comfort of pillow 1.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the top surface of the first cushion 3 is a water-permeable layer, and the bottom surface of the first cushion 3 is a waterproof layer. The water-permeable layer is made of hydrogel, and the waterproof layer is made of polyurethane material.

[0035] The hydrogel material on the top surface of the first pillow 3 has excellent water absorption, which can absorb the blood overflowing from the patient's affected area. The polyurethane material on the bottom surface of the first pillow 3 can prevent the blood absorbed by the top surface of the first pillow 3 from flowing out and prevent further contamination.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, one of the C-shaped pillow edges 4 is fixedly connected to an eye mask 5, and one side of the eye mask 5 is fixedly connected to a male side of Velcro. The other C-shaped pillow edge 4 is fixedly connected to an eye mask fixing strap 51 that is compatible with the eye mask 5, and one side of the eye mask fixing strap 51 is fixedly connected to a female side of Velcro.

[0037] The eye patch 5 and the eye patch fixing strap 51 facilitate the protection of the eyes of neurosurgical patients with incomplete eyelid closure.

[0038] In practical use, the protective pillow is first placed on the medical bed. The patient lies flat on the bed with their head resting on pillow 1. The pillow is then adjusted to face upwards according to the patient's affected area. The first cushion pillow 3 is then placed under the patient's head and secured to pillow 1 with Velcro. If the patient's head is not turned at an appropriate angle, a second cushion pillow 31 is placed between pillow 1 and the first cushion pillow 3 to raise the angle of the patient's head. This facilitates the insertion of drainage tubes and dressing changes. Furthermore, cushions can be placed under the patient's head at two different locations to fix the angle of the patient's head and achieve a comfortable lying position.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
