Phototherapy device for the newborn

Abstract

The invention discloses a phototherapy device for the newborn. The device comprises a light source box, a light guide assembly and a fiber blanket. The fiber blanket is formed by coupling of a plurality of fibers. The light guide assembly is connected with the light source box and the fiber blanket. The light source box includes a box body assembly and an internal assembly installed inside the box body assembly. The internal assembly includes a light source module group including a light source panel and a jack panel; a plurality of LED light sources with peak bands of 440 to 460 nm are installed on the light source panel. According to the invention, on the basis of the fiber conduction and macrobend loss characteristics, treatment light in the light source box is transmitted to the surface of the fiber blanket, thereby realizing light emitting of the blanket surface and thus realizing treatment on the newborn with jaundice. The LED light source emits blue light and a few of ultraviolet and infrared rays are outputted, thereby preventing side effects on patients by phototherapy. On the basis of the fiber blanket surface design, zero-distance contact with the newborn by the light source is realized, so that energy attenuation is avoided; the blanket surface is soft; and the irradiation area increases. Therefore, the newborn with jaundice can be treated well and recover quickly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to a neonatal phototherapy device. Background technique [0002] After birth, the skin and eyes are yellow due to the high level of bilirubin in the blood and tissues; 60% of newborns will develop jaundice in the first week of life, and severe jaundice will cause damage to the nerves, brain, liver and gallbladder. Therefore, it should be treated as soon as possible. Phototherapy is one of the commonly used methods to treat neonatal jaundice. The blue light is used to irradiate the skin of the child to promote the metabolism of bilirubin, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment. Phototherapy has unique advantages due to its non-invasiveness, effectiveness, simplicity and economy. [0003] At present, domestic phototherapy equipment for neonatal jaundice mainly includes blue light lamps, blue light boxes, and blue light beds. Blue light and blue light box have good curative effec...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Blue light and blue light box have good curative effect, but they have certain side effects on children, such as fever, irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, etc.; when nursing staff observe and care for children under blue light or in the blue light box, There will be symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, which will hinder the normal nursing work; it is not suitable for mother-infant rooming, which will affect breastfeeding

The blue light bed is not easy to change the body position during the treatment of children, it is difficult to operate breastfeeding, and it is easy to spit milk. In addition, most parents are unwilling to treat children in the prone position, which affects the therapeutic effect of the instrument
