Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing tools, and in particular to a tool for positioning infants and young children for sedative enemas. Background Technology

[0002] In pediatric clinical practice, imaging examinations such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) have become core technologies for accurate disease diagnosis, crucial for the early identification, assessment, and treatment planning of complex childhood illnesses. However, infants and young children, due to their young age and incomplete cognitive development, often experience strong fear and resistance when facing unfamiliar medical environments and large-scale examination equipment. Simultaneously, discomfort from physical illness can easily lead to crying and struggling during examinations, making it difficult to maintain the required resting position, thus affecting the clarity of image acquisition and diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, inducing children into a quiet sleep state through chloral hydrate retention enemas has become a necessary means to ensure the smooth implementation of imaging examinations, and is of great significance for achieving accurate diagnosis and treatment and promoting the recovery of children.

[0003] Currently, commonly used enema procedures in clinical practice mainly include the left lateral decubitus enema method (the child lies directly on the bed, with a family member leaning over and holding the child in place, or with the assistance of an assistant nurse), the prone elevated position method (suitable for preschool children), and the parent-supported prone position method (for infants and young children). Although these methods assist in the enema procedure to some extent, many problems still need to be solved in practical application. Infants and young children, due to their young age and low tolerance, are highly sensitive to invasive procedures. During the enema process, they often cry and struggle violently due to tension and fear, making it extremely difficult to maintain a fixed position. Furthermore, the uneven development of their various body parts makes it difficult to maintain a standard position for extended periods, further increasing the risk and difficulty of the procedure. In addition, when faced with a crying child, parents often pick them up prematurely to comfort them due to excessive anxiety, forcing the enema to be interrupted. This not only delays the treatment process but also subjects the child to repeated procedures and increases the psychological burden on the parents. Meanwhile, the traditional operating mode requires the full cooperation of two family members or one assistant nurse, which has drawbacks such as high labor costs, long operation time and low nursing efficiency, making it difficult to meet the clinical needs for efficient and safe work. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this invention provides a positioning tool for infant sedation enemas, which can quickly locate the infant's position for a sedation enema and also facilitates the nurse's sedation enema procedure.

[0005] This utility model discloses a positioning tool for infant sedation enema, including a shaped pad with arc-shaped protrusions at both the front and rear ends. The arc-shaped protrusion at the front is a neck support protrusion, and the arc-shaped protrusion at the rear is a buttock support protrusion. An arc-shaped concave structure is provided on the shaped pad between the neck support protrusion and the buttock support protrusion. An inner cavity is provided in the middle of the buttock support protrusion and the arc-shaped concave structure. The inner cavity is used to accommodate the chest and abdomen of the infant. The height of the buttock support protrusion is higher than that of the neck support protrusion. Leg support frames are provided on both sides of the shaped pad between the buttock support protrusion and the arc-shaped concave structure.

[0006] Several inner grooves are provided at intervals from the front to the back in the middle part of the neck support protrusion, and the inner grooves are used to support the chin of infants and young children.

[0007] A first airbag is provided on the neck support protrusions on both sides of the concave cavity, a second airbag is provided on the arc-shaped concave structure on both sides of the concave cavity, and a third airbag is provided on both sides of the hip support protrusions on both sides of the concave cavity.

[0008] Two handles are provided at the front of the irregularly shaped mat for infants and toddlers to hold.

[0009] A doll is attached to the handle.

[0010] The support portion of the leg support frame is tilted, with the front higher than the back.

[0011] A vertically recessed cavity is provided at the corresponding position of the buttock support protrusion at the rear end of the irregularly shaped pad, and a waste container is placed in the cavity.

[0012] A vertically upward baffle is provided on one side of the rear end of the waste bin, and the baffle is higher than the buttock support protrusion.

[0017] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0018] Example 1:

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a positioning tool for infant sedation enema, including a shaped pad 1. The front and rear ends of the shaped pad 1 are provided with arc-shaped protrusions. The arc-shaped protrusion at the front end is a neck support protrusion 2, and the arc-shaped protrusion at the rear end is a buttock support protrusion 3. An arc-shaped concave structure 4 is provided on the shaped pad 1 between the neck support protrusion 2 and the buttock support protrusion 3. An inner cavity 10 is provided in the middle part of the buttock support protrusion 3 and the arc-shaped concave structure 4. The inner cavity 10 is used to accommodate the chest and abdomen of the infant. The height of the buttock support protrusion 3 is higher than that of the neck support protrusion 2. Leg support frames 5 are provided on both sides of the shaped pad 1 between the buttock support protrusion 3 and the arc-shaped inner structure 4.

[0020] The irregularly shaped pad 1 can be made of materials such as latex. Placed on the operating table, the pad is stable. The neck support protrusion 2 at the front, the hip support protrusion 3 at the rear, and the arc-shaped concave structure 4 in the middle create a prone position for the infant. The relatively high hip support protrusion 3 allows the infant's buttocks to be raised, facilitating the nurse's administration of sedative enemas. The leg supports 5 on both sides can be made of materials such as latex, ensuring support strength while maintaining a comfortable feel. Due to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of infants, whose abdomens are relatively large, a concave cavity 10 is provided in the irregularly shaped pad 1 to avoid compression of the infant's chest and abdomen. The concave cavity 10 can accommodate the infant's chest and abdomen, reducing compression. To ensure the concave cavity 10 corresponds to the position of the infant's chest and abdomen, it is positioned between the neck support protrusion 2 and the hip support protrusion 3. Furthermore, the planar shape of the concave cavity 10 is gourd-shaped, which accommodates the large abdomen and relatively small chest of infants and young children, thereby reducing pressure on the chest and abdomen of infants and young children while maintaining stable support for their bodies.

[0021] Several recesses 6 are spaced out from front to back along the middle of the neck support protrusion 2. These recesses 6 are used to support the infant's chin. The recesses 6 in the middle of the neck support protrusion help to hold the chin in place when the infant is lying face down, preventing the head from sliding and making the lying position more comfortable and stable. Furthermore, the multiple recesses 6 spaced out along the front-to-back direction on the neck support protrusion 2 accommodate infants of different lengths.

[0022] A first airbag 7 is provided on the neck support protrusion 2 on both sides of the concave cavity 6, a second airbag 8 is provided on the arc-shaped concave structure 4 on both sides of the concave cavity 10, and a third airbag 9 is provided on both sides of the buttock support protrusion 3 on both sides of the concave cavity 10. The shapes of the first airbag 7, the second airbag 8, and the third airbag 9 are consistent with the surface shape of the irregularly shaped pad 1 at the installation location, so as to maintain support for the infant's prone position after inflation. Since different infants have different body shapes, some infants may not be able to fit completely with the neck support protrusion 2, buttock support protrusion 3, arc-shaped concave structure 4 on the irregularly shaped pad 1, resulting in ineffective support for certain parts of the infant's body. The reduced support area will lead to increased local support pressure and discomfort. Therefore, the first airbag 7, the second airbag 8, and the third airbag 9 are set in the corresponding parts. The first airbag 7, the second airbag 8, and the third airbag 9 are inflated individually to maintain the close support of the first airbag 7, the second airbag 8, and the third airbag 9 for the infants and young children, so that the support is more comprehensive and stable and the comfort is improved.

[0023] Two handles 11 are provided at the front end of the irregularly shaped pad 1 for infants and toddlers to hold. The handles 11 are designed for infants and toddlers to hold, so as to maintain stability in a prone position.

[0024] The handle 11 is equipped with a doll 12, which can be a hand-held doll or something similar; the specific type is not limited. Its main purpose is to allow infants and toddlers to play with it while lying down, enhancing their enjoyment and attracting their attention, thus improving their cooperation with the nurse's procedure. Of course, the fun factor of the doll 12 is very important for infants and toddlers. A doll 12 with strong fun and interactivity can be selected to distract the infant's anxiety and attention, which is crucial for the nurse to successfully complete the enema procedure.

[0025] The leg support frame 5 is tilted with the front higher than the back, which can maintain stable support for the infant's legs and support the entire lower leg, making it more comfortable and stable. Of course, restraint straps can be installed on the leg support frame 5 to restrain the infant's legs to the leg support frame 5, maintaining the stability of the infant's prone position and facilitating the nurse to perform sedative enemas.

[0026] A vertically recessed receiving cavity 13 is provided at the corresponding position of the buttock support protrusion 3 at the rear end of the irregularly shaped pad 1, and a waste container 14 is placed in the receiving cavity 13. The receiving cavity 13 is provided on the irregularly shaped pad 1 at the middle and rear part of the buttock support protrusion 3, and the waste container 14 is placed in the receiving cavity 13. In actual operation, the enema of infant sedatives will generate waste uncontrollably. In order to avoid contamination of the irregularly shaped pad 1, the waste container 14 is provided to receive waste and keep the operation process and the operating environment clean.

[0027] A vertically upward-facing baffle 15 is provided on one side of the rear end of the waste bin 14, and the baffle 15 is higher than the buttock support protrusion 3. Since the buttocks of infants and young children face upward, in practice, when waste from the anus splashes, it will not flow downward, but rather backward. Therefore, the baffle 15 is provided to block the waste and guide it into the waste bin 14, keeping the environment and operation process clean and reliable. Since anal waste splashing often occurs after enema stimulation, and to prevent the baffle 15 from affecting the nurse's enema operation, the baffle 15 can be designed as a movable, detachable structure. For example, the baffle 15 can be attached to the waste bin 14 by conventional clips, or by providing a slot on the outer wall of the waste bin 14 to insert the baffle 15 into the waste bin 14. This movable connection method is a conventional method.

[0028] Of course, in actual use, the entire device needs to be covered with an outer protective cover, such as a disposable pad. Alternatively, extension rods 17 can be provided on both sides of the waste bin 14, and a slot 16 can be provided at the rear end of the irregularly shaped pad 1 to engage the extension rods 17 in the slot 16 to ensure the stability of the waste bin 14.

[0029] Upward protective protrusions 18 can be provided on both sides of the irregularly shaped pad 1. The height of the protective protrusions 18 varies with the shape of the top surface of the irregularly shaped pad 1, that is, the protective protrusions 18 are basically kept 3-5cm higher than the corresponding surface of the irregularly shaped pad 1. This can limit the lateral movement of infants and young children and prevent them from slipping off the side.
