Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a neck protection pillow for patients with cervical spinal cord injury. Background Technology

[0002] Cervical spinal cord injury is a common and severe traumatic disease characterized by high disability and mortality rates, significantly impacting patients' quality of life and the socioeconomic burden. Globally, the incidence of spinal cord injury is approximately 10-83 cases per million people annually, with cervical spinal cord injury accounting for over 50%. Major causes include traffic accidents (such as whiplash injuries from rear-end collisions), falls from heights, sports injuries, and violent injuries. Traditional neck support pillows are mostly statically designed and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the patient's cervical anatomy, injury severity, or rehabilitation stage, easily leading to pressure injuries or insecure fixation. Furthermore, patients may toss and turn in their sleep, and prolonged incorrect sleeping posture can hinder effective cervical and spinal rehabilitation. Medical staff need to check on patients every 1-2 hours to determine and correct their sleeping posture, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also carries the risk of undetected abnormal sleeping postures during the intervals between checkups. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a neck protection pillow to solve the problems of existing neck protection pillows not being able to adjust height and lacking reminder functions.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: It includes a pillow body, a controller, and an alarm. The pillow body has an arc-shaped support block, a memory foam U-shaped pillow support, two pressure sensors, and multiple air chambers. The center of the pillow body is concave, and the multiple air chambers are located in the concave area. The memory foam U-shaped pillow support partially surrounds the multiple air chambers. The controller has a built-in power supply and is connected to the multiple air chambers via an air pump. The controller is used to control the air pump to inflate and de-inflate the air chambers. The two pressure sensors are connected to the controller, and the controller is remotely connected to the alarm. The alarm has a warning light. The arc-shaped support block is located at the opening of the memory foam U-shaped pillow support, and the two pressure sensors are located on both sides of the arc-shaped support block. The patient's head rests on the multiple air chambers. The arc-shaped support block supports the patient's neck, and the memory foam U-shaped pillow support protects the patient's head. When the patient presses on a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the warning light of the alarm to illuminate to alert medical personnel.

[0005] A more specific technical solution than the above-mentioned technical solution is that the recessed part of the pillow body is provided with three air chambers.

[0006] Furthermore, the alarm is also equipped with a buzzer.

[0007] Furthermore, the pillow body is made of sponge material.

[0008] Furthermore, the pillow body is covered with a breathable fabric.

[0009] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: The height of the pillow body is adjusted by controlling the air pump to inflate and de-inflate multiple air chambers via a controller. Firstly, it adapts to the cervical anatomy of different patients. By independently adjusting the air chamber volume, it can address the differences in the physiological curvature of the neck, avoiding neck muscle tension caused by incorrect support positioning. Secondly, it adapts to different degrees of injury. Patients in the acute phase can choose a rigid fixation mode, with the air chamber pressure adjusted to a higher value to limit neck displacement and reduce the risk of secondary spinal cord injury. Thirdly, it adapts to the entire rehabilitation cycle. From the acute phase to the later rehabilitation phase, the support strength and pressure threshold can be gradually adjusted via the controller to achieve a smooth transition, conforming to clinical rehabilitation principles. Furthermore, pressure sensors monitor in real time. When the pressure sensor is pressed by the patient, an alarm sounds, indicating that the patient's incorrect sleeping posture has caused the neck protection to fail. Medical staff can then correct the patient's sleeping posture, eliminating the need for regular bed checks. Attached Figure Description

[0012] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples: like Figure 1 The neck support pillow shown includes a pillow body, a controller, and an alarm. The pillow body has an arc-shaped support block, a memory foam U-shaped pillow base, two pressure sensors, and three air chambers. The center of the pillow body is concave, and the three air chambers are distributed from top to bottom in the concave area. The memory foam U-shaped pillow base partially surrounds the three air chambers. The controller has a built-in power supply and is connected to the three air chambers through an air pump. The power supply powers the controller, air pump, and two pressure sensors. The two pressure sensors are connected to the controller. In this example, the controller and the alarm are remotely connected via Bluetooth. The alarm is labeled and placed at the nurses' station. The alarm has an indicator light and a buzzer. The arc-shaped support block is located at the opening of the memory foam U-shaped pillow base, and the two pressure sensors are located on both sides of the arc-shaped support block. The pillow body is made of sponge material, and the outside of the pillow body is covered with breathable fabric.

[0013] In use, the height of the pillow's central indentation can be adjusted by controlling the volume of the three air chambers according to the patient's neck anatomy, degree of injury, or recovery stage via a preset controller. Using this neck support pillow, 24-hour continuous monitoring is achieved. When a patient exhibits abnormal sleeping posture, the alarm light illuminates and a buzzer sounds, allowing medical staff to correct the patient's posture. This eliminates the need for regular bed checks; intervention is only required upon receiving an alarm. Daily nursing time can be reduced by more than 60%, significantly improving nursing efficiency.

[0014] It should be noted that the controller and alarm mentioned in this utility model, as well as their remote connection methods, are all common devices and connection methods in the prior art. The technical solution of this utility model can be obtained simply by connecting them according to the connection relationships given in the embodiments of this utility model, without involving any improvements to control methods or software. As for the usage of the controller and alarm and their remote connection methods, those skilled in the art can implement this by purchasing the controller and alarm and referring to the accompanying instruction manual; therefore, it will not be described in detail here.
