Description

1 TARIFF NEONATAL ABDOMINAL DISTENSION MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION BELT Technological Field: This invention is for detecting abdominal distension and tension in newborns. This relates to a belt that can be used to measure and evaluate neonatal abdominal distension. State of the Art: Today, the detection and monitoring of abdominal distension (abdominal swelling) in newborns is common. The technical methods used for this generally include manual examination (palpation), observation, and It is based on medical imaging techniques such as ultrasound, and some of these methods are 15 There are significant shortcomings. Assessments based on manual examination and observation, It can be subjective as it depends on the experience of healthcare professionals and early diagnosis. This can create reliability issues during the process. Imaging methods such as ultrasound, however... Since access is not always possible, continuous monitoring of newborns is not feasible. This is not the case. Technology-based tracking systems and sensor-supported devices have been developed. However, these solutions often present usability challenges due to their complex structures. Because it requires creation and technical infrastructure, it is not applicable in every environment. In addition, some systems indirectly detect babies' abdominal movements and gas buildup. In trying to identify them, this process provides a practical, fast, and direct means of assessment. It does not offer. For these reasons, early detection of abdominal distension in newborns and an effective 25 simpler, more reliable and easier-to-implement solutions for monitoring in this way It is needed. Utility model application number CN208524897U concerns “Medical Infant Abdominal Swelling”. The invention describes a "Detection Device". It addresses the inadequacy of time measurement and the external 30 The noise can be a difficult problem to solve by examining the baby's abdominal distension. He explains that he accomplished this. To solve the existing device, the barrel, the first guide. 2 cylinder, helical spring, sliding rod, handle, tube, second guide cylinder, second linkage tube, first connecting tube, earplug, second topper plate, lower stem, first fixed a medical device including block, horizontal post, second fixed block, mountant, cuff and suction disc This explains the baby abdominal distension detection device. The cuff has a fixed upper mounting point of 2. The coil spring, mount, and the upper end of the 2nd coil spring have a dog fixed in the mounting. 5 The lower fixed mounting of the barrel contains the first top plate. The utility model, baby a device that completely blocks out the baby's stomach and any outside noise, allowing the doctor to carefully examine the baby's abdomen. This is made possible by the sliding connection between the sliding rod and the first guide cylinder, which enables it to listen. the sound quality deteriorates over time, making it easier for someone to hit a baby in the stomach by cutting its hair. Thanks to this, the first toper plate setup determines whether the baby's tummy is swollen or not. It explains. The invention described above consists of a barrel, a helical spring, a sliding rod, connecting tubes, and a lug. It consists of many different components, such as a plug, and is used by healthcare professionals. The application can be difficult and time-consuming. Also, the system requires 15 minutes of massage to reach the baby's abdominal area. Its aim during the examination is to completely eliminate external noise, making it independent of external factors. Although it attempts to provide measurements, it can make practical use difficult. It measures the baby's abdominal movements. The process of detecting gas accumulation is based on voice analysis and subjective interpretation. Because of this, reliability issues may arise in the early diagnosis process. In addition, the components of the device that come into contact with the baby's abdomen are part of a complex mechanism. Because of this, it can be irritating to the delicate skin of a newborn and in the baby It can create unrest. Patent application number CN110236552A concerns “Neonatal Abdominal Imaging and The "Treatment System, Method and Device" is described. The invention concerns newborn abdominal monitoring and 25 It provides treatment systems, methods, and equipment. Neonatal abdominal monitoring and treatment system. The method and device involve placing an abdominal belt around the abdomen of a newborn baby and... Neonatal abdominal circumference monitoring and treatment via background management center. pairing the belt with a mobile terminal, so that the newborn's abdominal circumference can be measured real-time monitoring, tracking of the peak profit point, and data from 30 It offers synchronization to the mobile terminal; a child's age in days and body size. Based on information such as weight, it provides medical personnel with early warning for timely disposal. 3 and warnings are given; and acupressure massage is applied to newborns to relieve abdominal distension. Physical therapy such as medical hot compresses may be applied. This leads to unsuccessful clinical treatment. The problem of untimely monitoring is resolved, and monitoring efficiency is increased. The invention described above incorporates advanced technological components, but some 5 It has disadvantages. Monitoring by connecting the abdominal belt to a mobile terminal. This requires the data to be continuously synchronized through a system. This situation creates a need for both infrastructure and technical expertise. The system, only Although it aims to speed up the early diagnosis process by providing technological tracking, in reality... a practical solution that facilitates the observation of physical symptoms in a timely manner 10 It does not offer this. Furthermore, it provides notification to healthcare personnel through an early warning mechanism. While sending it might seem like an advantage, monitoring efficiency depends on internet connection and Because it depends on technological integration, it can be used effectively in any environment. It may not be possible. In addition, physical therapy methods (acupressure massage, Although it suggests (such as hot compresses), a visual 15 that directly contributes to the diagnostic process Since it does not offer an assessment opportunity, it eliminates the need for manual examination. It does not remove it. In conclusion, a new one that can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above. Technology is needed. 20 Description of the invention: This invention can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above in the neonatal abdomen. It is a distance measurement and evaluation belt, its feature is; Early diagnosis possibility, 25 providing objective assessment, reducing dependence on healthcare professionals, visual It offers ease of monitoring, eliminates the need for frequent palpation, and makes the baby comfortable. It prevents it from happening, doesn't require constant monitoring, and is hypoallergenic and safe. Made from durable materials, it supports a rapid intervention and treatment process, and offers potential health benefits. It helps prevent complications and is inexpensive. 30 4 This invention enables the early and objective detection of abdominal distension in newborns. By enabling this, it offers many important advantages. In current methods While techniques such as palpation (manual examination) and ultrasound are used, this belt helps... Abdominal bloating and tension become more clearly visible to the eye, thus improving health. Dependence on the experience of professionals decreases. The color of the dark stripes on the belt is 5 Its opening and expansion make changes in the abdominal area instantly visible. It allows for faster diagnosis and intervention. It also eliminates the need for frequent palpation. By eliminating it, it prevents the baby from being disturbed and eliminates the need for constant monitoring. It makes it easier to monitor abdominal bloating. It is made of hypoallergenic material. It provides safe use without harming the delicate skin of newborns. This innovative 10 The design accelerates the early diagnosis and treatment process, preventing potential health complications. It helps to prevent it. The invention is easy to assemble thanks to the fact that its components can be easily fastened together. It is being installed, and thanks to the short assembly time, the costs are low. 15 Furthermore, the invention has a robust structure. Explaining the Figures: The invention will be described by referring to the attached figures, so that the features of the invention are defined in 20 It will be understood and appreciated more clearly, but the purpose of this invention is this obvious It is not about limiting it with regulations.
