Integrated premature infant body position auxiliary instrument

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary instruments, and particularly discloses an integrated premature infant body position auxiliary instrument. The integrated premature infant body position auxiliary instrument can be used for premature infants in neonatal wards or neonatal care rooms during hospitalization, and is a suitable tool provided for body position intervention of clinical nursing personnel; and the scope of developmental care of the premature infants is expanded. The integrated premature infant body position auxiliary instrument is particularly suitable for the premature infants during hospitalization, and the integrated component structure is beneficial for the premature infants to maintain flexion similar to intrauterine physiological flexion and support movement; apnea caused by bad body positions is avoided, and the risks of intracranial hemorrhage, gastroesophageal reflux and the like are reduced; and therefore, self-coordination and nerve development after birth are promoted.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical aids, in particular to an integrated body position aid for premature infants. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of perinatal and neonatal medical care, the survival rate of premature babies has increased significantly; the accompanying growth and development and quality of life of premature babies have also attracted more and more attention from the medical and educational circles. . The results of a longitudinal study showed that only 25% of premature infants at the age of 5 showed the normal level of neuromotor development of 5-year-old children; even preterm infants without brain damage still have mental retardation, and they are in cognitive, visual, auditory and Social life ability lags behind full-term children. The theory of developmental care for premature infants points out that the back and limbs of premature infants often assume straight, stiff, and stretched posture...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The current postural intervention devices have the following defects: 1. None of the postural aids currently available on the market can act simultaneously with light therapy. Studies have confirmed that more than 80% of premature infants will face "jaundice" after birth, especially those with ultra-low and extreme Low birth weight infants, once diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia, must receive prolonged phototherapy

For such children, the postural intervention device must be removed when double-sided phototherapy or phototherapy blankets are used for routine treatment; therefore, there is currently no postural intervention device combined with phototherapy

2. Limitations of the design of the "roll-shaped bird's nest border": most of the boundary materials of body position appliances in clinical use at present are the roll-shaped bird's nest borders formed by coatings or built-in curved foam bumpers, and such borders are all hard and solid Material; although it can help the child's limbs to show a state of central flexion in a quiet state, it cannot leave sufficient abduction space for the child's lower limbs, and there is no corresponding reaction force for the child's abducted limbs, which cannot promote Rebound flexion of the lower extremities

3. There is still no appliance with an adjustable head raising design on the base

At present, there is no postural aid in the commercially available products that has the function of raising the head and upper body for premature infants.

4. At present, the products on the market provide products of different sizes according to the weight of premature infants in kilograms. After birth to 3 months is the period of their fastest growth and development. Preterm infants during hospitalization need to be replaced every 3-4 weeks on average. Positioning equipment to ensure the proper size of the positioning equipment

5. Premature infants have less brown fat in their bodies, so it is difficult to maintain a stable body temperature; currently there is no body position aid with continuous body temperature monitoring function
