Abstract:
Prone position ventilation(PPV)is a lung protective ventilation strategy widely used in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)to improve ventilation and oxygenation of the lungs by changing the patient's position.During PPV treatment,patients may face a variety of complications and risks,such as pressure injury,brachial plexus injury,corneal injury and unplanned extubation,which aggravate the patient's pain,increase medical costs and affect the prognosis of the disease.To this end,medical staff at Zhongda Hospital Southeast University jointly designed a PPV patient care kit pillow and obtained a National Utility Model Patent of China(patent number:ZL 202221128961.7).The PPV patient care kit pillow is composed of head pad,chest pad,hip pad and lower limb pad,with gel on its surface,which can reduce friction force and shear force;grooves are set on the middle of head pad,two sides above chest pad,middle of chest pad,middle of hip pad and lower limb pad,which can effectively avoid compression of corresponding parts and reduce the risk of pressure injury;and air bags are set on both sides below head pad,hip pad and lower limb pad,which can be inflated unilaterally or bilaterally at the same time and used for deflecting or elevating the body;in addition,a tube limiting groove is set on the outside of head pad,which can effectively fix the tracheal tube and reduce the risk of tube displacement and unplanned extubation.The overall structure of the pillow of this PPV patient care kit conforms to the angle of human mechanics and has strong versatility,which can improve the comfort,safety and effectiveness of PPV therapy for patients and reduce the work burden of medical staff,and has good application value.
