The present invention relates to a vomit collection device, and more particularly to a vomit collection device suitable for use in a bedridden patient.

About 20% to 30% of patients will have postoperative nausea and vomiting after the knife is opened. For some patients, postoperative nausea and vomiting may be more painful than wound pain, and even complications may occur, which may cause fear of surgery.

There are many risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting, which are simply divided into the following three categories: First, patient-related risk factors, such as: women, non-smokers, people who are prone to motion sickness, have migraine, and have a history of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Young people and anxious people; Second, surgical-related risk factors, such as: laparoscopic surgery, adult strabismus surgery, middle ear surgery, hernia repair surgery, tonsil surgery, uvulopalatopharyngeal pharyngeal surgery, etc.; Anesthesia-related risk factors, such as the use of opioids and the length of anesthesia. In general, general anesthesia is more prone to postoperative than half-body anesthesia or nerve block. The condition of nausea and vomiting.

Under the anesthesia, after the anesthesia, the patient often cannot sit up because of physical weakness and pain when he is in the recovery room. He can only take a semi-sitting position, and even if he is affected by anesthesia and surgery, he must rest on his back. At this time, when the patient is in bed and wants to vomit, the nursing staff will ask the patient to vomit on the side of the head or to lie on the side to avoid aspiration pneumonia.
