At the same time, those recommendations will also provide a reference for future clinical research on the application of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation technology in mechanically ventilated patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":24079,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142141194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, with the continuous updating of treatment methods, prone position ventilation has been found to have a good therapeutic effect on such diseases, and has been widely used in clinical practice. However, prone position ventilation significantly increases the workload of medical staff and the risk of accidental extubation and pressure injuries to patients, seriously affecting the safety of diagnosis and treatment. At present, various devices such as mattresses have been used for prone position ventilation, but there are few devices specifically designed to protect and fix the head and face. Therefore, the medical staff of Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University designed and developed a head support frame for prone position ventilation, and obtained a National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2018 2 0056891.6). The head support frame for prone position ventilation includes a movable chassis and rollers for easy movement and fixation. The retractable column 1 is vertically fixed on the movable chassis, and its height can be freely adjusted according to the position of the patient. A transverse bridge is fixed at the top of the retractable column 1, the two ends of the bridge are designed a bulge, and the rotating ring is fixed above the transverse bridge, so that the rotating ring can rotate along the bridge at a certain angle. The rotating ring is designed with an inner ring and an inlet and outlet which can pass through the tube is designed on the rotating ring. The inflatable air bag is designed above the rotating ring to improve the comfort of patients and reduce the pressure injury of facial skin. A sliding rod is vertically designed on the upper part of the retractable column 1, and there is a retractable column 2 at the distal end of the slide rod, and the retractable column 2 is connected with the rotating ring, so that the rotating ring adjusts the angle along the cross bridge with the contraction of the collapsible column 2. A retractable column 3 is arranged in the middle of the slide rod, and a catheter clamp is arranged at its far end to facilitate the fixation of the artificial airway and the mechanical ventilation tube. The support frame is practical and convenient, which can protect the patient's head safely in the prone position, and greatly reduce the workload of medical staff.</p>","PeriodicalId":24079,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142141189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
