Abstract:
Bedridden patients mostly use the back cushion object,raise the bedside position,and other methods to obtain the semi-decumbent position.However,the existing methods have shortcomings such as insufficient execution,wrong angle estimation,weak consciousness,forgetting,decreased comfort,easy to cause pressure sore and aspiration pneumonia.To solve the shortcomings of the existing eating position placement method,the department of geriatric medicine team of Tongxiang City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine designed a bed-rest pillow for bed patients to eat or other requirements of semi-lying position,and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China(patent number:ZL 202122859891.4).This device places the pillow on a flat bed,with the back of the pillow next to the head of the bed for support and to prevent sliding.The patient was placed in a retainer slot,head in the first retainer slot,shoulder and back in the second retainer slot,waist and abdomen in the third retainer slot,and hands on the armrests on both sides of the pillow.The use of pillows for bedridden patients is simple and easy to learn,convenient,economical and practical,time-saving and labor-saving,and convenient supervision and inspection,which can reduce complications such as aspiration and pressure ulcers,thereby reducing the economic burden of the patient,improving the quality of life,and improving the satisfaction of patients and their families,and is worthy of clinical promotion and use.
