Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical appliances, in particular to a prone position auxiliary tool for premature infants. Background Art
[0002] Medically recommended body positions for premature infants include supine, prone and lateral positions. The prone position, as an alternative to the supine position for premature infants, helps improve ventilation, reduce gastroesophageal reflux, promote gastric emptying, and reduce the metabolic rate. However, premature infants, especially extremely premature / very premature infants, have immature body systems and lack muscle tone to control body movements. They are often unable to maintain a suitable prone position independently and require positioning aids to help them support themselves.
[0003] Currently, there is a lack of suitable tools to assist premature infants in prone positioning in clinical practice. Nurses mostly use towels or blankets made by themselves based on experience. Their shape, size, and dimensions have no evidence-based medical basis and do not match the body shape of premature infants. It is difficult for premature infants to achieve an ideal prone position. Long-term improper prone position can lead to abnormal postural development such as shoulder abduction, hip abduction and external rotation in premature infants, which will have an adverse effect on the long-term development of motor function and may even increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop targeted prone positioning assistance tools for premature infants to overcome the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] Purpose of the utility model: In view of the shortcomings and defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a prone position assist tool for premature infants. The use of the prone position assist tool can make premature infants safer and more comfortable, promote the development of the physical and nervous systems of premature infants, and reduce the occurrence of related adverse events.
[0006] Technical solution: The utility model is a prone position auxiliary tool for premature infants, characterized in that it includes a prone pillow and a simulated hand, the prone pillow includes a head area, a body area and a lower limb area, the middle of the head area is an elliptical middle sunken structure, the body area is a concave structure on both sides, and the lower limb area is located on both sides of the bottom of the body area; the simulated hand includes a hand area and an arm area.
[0007] Wherein, the arm area surrounds one side of the prone pillow.
[0008] The vertical length of the head area is 7 cm, and the horizontal length is 20 cm; the horizontal length of the middle sunken area of the head area is 14 cm, and the distance between the middle sunken area and the side edge of the head area is 3 cm.
[0009] The bottom of the body region corresponds to the umbilicus of a premature infant, the vertical length of the body region and the lower limb region is 16 cm, and the distance between the two lower limb regions is 3 cm.
[0010] Wherein, the width of each finger portion of the hand area is 2 cm.
[0011] Wherein, the width of the arm region is 6 cm and the length is 50 cm.
[0012] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following significant advantages: The utility model uses the prone position auxiliary tool to make premature infants safer and more comfortable, promote the physical and nervous system development of premature infants, reduce the occurrence of related adverse events, shorten the length of hospital stay, and improve the prognosis of the disease. It has a great guiding significance for clinical nursing, helping nursing staff to better manage the body position of premature infants. The body position placement in clinical practice will be more convenient, and the appropriate body position also ensures the safety of nursing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0018] The utility model provides a prone position auxiliary tool for premature infants, comprising a prone pillow 1 and a simulated hand 2. The prone pillow 1 comprises a head region 3, a body region 4 and a lower limb region 5. The middle of the head region 3 is an elliptical middle indented structure, the body region 4 is a two-side indented structure, and the lower limb region 5 is located on both sides of the bottom of the body region 4; the simulated hand 2 comprises a hand region 6 and an arm region 7. Among them, the arm region 7 surrounds one side of the prone pillow 1. The vertical length of the head region 3 is 7 cm and the horizontal length is 20 cm; the horizontal length of the middle indented area of the head region 3 is 14 cm, and the distance between the middle indented area and the side edge of the head region 3 is 3 cm. The bottom of the body region 4 corresponds to the umbilical position of the premature infant, the vertical length of the body region 4 and the lower limb region 5 is 16 cm, and the distance between the two lower limb regions 5 is 3 cm. The width of each finger part of the hand region 6 is 2 cm. The width of the arm region 7 is 6 cm and the length is 50 cm.
[0019] When in use, the nurse changes the premature infant to a prone position, selects a sterilized prone position assistive tool, places it in the middle of the bird's nest, gently turns the infant over, places the infant's head prone in head area 3, which can be turned left and right, and the body prone in body area 4. The bottom of body area 4 is near the infant's navel, both upper limbs are in the depressions on both sides of the assistive device, both hands are placed beside the mouth, both lower limbs are flexed and straddle lower limb area 5, hand area 6 gently wraps the infant's head, and arm area 7 gently wraps one side of the infant's body to establish a sense of boundaries.
[0020] The utility model of the premature infant prone position auxiliary tool is divided into two parts:
[0021] Part I: Prone pillow. ① This tool can stabilize the head of premature infants and prevent the head from rotating too much, which may affect the development of the spine and brain tissue; ② According to the guidelines, the tail of the tool is stabilized around the umbilicus of premature infants, which can maintain a stable position and make premature infants more comfortable; ③ The width of the tool is smaller than the transverse diameter of the premature infant's body, which can prevent premature infants from shoulder and hip abduction, and the limbs can be stretched freely to avoid affecting joint dysplasia. ④ Premature infants can straddle the tool to effectively prevent premature infants from sliding down and causing poor position; ⑤ The tool is relatively light, and the outer cover can be removed for cleaning or disinfection, which can meet the requirements of hospital infection for extremely premature / very premature infants; ⑥ Premature infants have delicate skin, and the tool is filled with memory foam, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of pressure injuries.
[0022] Part 2: Simulated Hand. ① The tool simulates the mother's hand, gently placed on the baby's head, weighing less than 450g, as if the mother's hand is stroking the baby's head, which has a soothing effect; ② The arm of the simulated hand is placed on the side of the premature baby's body to help establish a sense of boundary, so that the premature baby feels like being in the mother's arms; ③ The tool is filled with granules to facilitate shaping. The "fingers" of the simulated hand can be selected according to the size of the premature baby's head, which can better soothe the baby.
