Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of neonatal medical testing technology, and in particular to a special cap for neonatal head ultrasound. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some hospitals are seeing premature infants born. Maintaining a stable body temperature is crucial for premature infants after birth, so they wear caps to keep warm, regardless of whether they are in an incubator. These premature infants transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit are all in critical condition, and a large proportion require respiratory support. Clinically, bandages or strips are used to secure the ventilator nasal plug over the cap. Due to the critical condition, cranial ultrasound is the preferred method to determine if there is any neurological damage, as it can be performed at the bedside and is radiation-free. However, currently, cranial ultrasounds are performed through the newborn's anterior fontanelle. Before the ultrasound, the cap and ventilator nasal plug securing bandages must be removed. This means that the ventilator nasal plug cannot be properly secured during the ultrasound examination, and the respiratory support pressure cannot be maintained. Furthermore, repeatedly removing and putting on the cap increases the workload of clinical medical staff. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the current practice of performing cranial ultrasounds through the anterior fontanelle of newborns. However, before the ultrasound, all the pre-fixed caps, nasal plugs, and other support bandages for the ventilator need to be removed. This makes it difficult to properly secure the nasal plugs during the ultrasound examination, and the respiratory support pressure cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, repeatedly removing and putting on the cap increases the workload of clinical medical staff. Therefore, this invention proposes a special cap for neonatal head ultrasounds.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a special cap for ultrasound on the head of newborns, including a cap body worn on the anterior fontanelle of the newborn's head and a nasal plug for the newborn's face, and further including: a detection window opened on the cap body to expose the anterior fontanelle of the newborn's head, the inside of the detection window is provided with a curtain to fold the detection window, and the detection window and the curtain are provided with an adhesive mechanism; a fixing mechanism is provided on both sides of the outer wall of the cap body to tighten the nasal plug.

[0005] Optionally, the adhesive mechanism includes a first button-type Velcro fastener fixedly connected to the curtain, and a second button-type Velcro fastener that adheres to the first button-type Velcro fastener is externally fixedly connected to the hat body.

[0006] Optionally, the fixing mechanism includes support blocks fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the hat body, and a pair of fixing rods are fixedly connected to the end of each support block away from the hat body. A pair of protruding plates are fixedly connected to the nasal plug of the ventilator, and fixing holes for inserting the fixing rods are provided on the protruding plates.

[0007] Optionally, a spherical head is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod rope away from the support block.

[0008] Optionally, the outer wall of the hat body is provided with ear openings on both sides, and a first tensioning strap is fixedly connected inside each ear opening.

[0009] Optionally, a pair of air supply tubes are fixedly connected to the nasal plug of the ventilator, and a fixing strap for fixing the air supply tubes is attached to the outer wall of the cap body.

[0010] Optionally, a second tension strap is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hat body, and both the second tension strap and the first tension strap are made of elastic band.

[0011] Optionally, the pair of gas pipes, support blocks, protrusions and latches are symmetrically arranged with the first button-type Velcro as the center.

[0012] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] This invention utilizes a combination of a detection window, a curtain, an adhesive mechanism, and a fixing mechanism. A detection window is installed at the anterior fontanelle of the newborn's cap, which can be opened and closed as needed. This not only effectively ensures the ultrasound probe's contact with the skull and maintains image quality but also does not interfere with the wearing of the cap or the use of other equipment, thus significantly reducing operational complexity and time. Furthermore, the design of fixing straps on both sides of the cap for securing the ventilator nasal cannula ensures that the ventilator nasal cannula and tubing are not interfered with during the examination, effectively maintaining the newborn's respiratory support pressure and reducing the risk of respiratory instability caused by the examination.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the newborn head ultrasound cap proposed in this utility model includes a cap body 1 worn on the anterior fontanelle of the newborn's head and a nasal prosthesis 2 for the newborn's face. The cap body 1 has ear loops 15 on both sides of its outer wall, and a first tension strap 151 is fixedly connected inside each ear loop 15. A second tension strap 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cap body 1. The first tension strap 151 and the second tension strap 19 are collectively referred to as tension straps. Because the newborn's head and ears are small and easily affected by external factors, the tension straps help the cap fit the head and ears more tightly, preventing changes in the device's position due to head movement or cap loosening, ensuring the smooth conduct of ultrasound examinations or other treatment procedures. Both the second tension strap 19 and the first tension strap 151 are made of elastic bands. Elastic bands are elastic and stretchable bands, usually made of materials such as rubber and synthetic fibers. Due to their elasticity, elastic bands can stretch and return to their original shape, and are therefore commonly used in various applications requiring support, fixation, or enhanced flexibility. It also includes: a detection window 11 on the cap body 1 to expose the anterior fontanelle of the newborn's head. The detection window 11 reduces the number of times the cap body 1, ventilator nasal mask 2, and fixing strap 24 are repeatedly removed and put on, ensuring that the child can receive more stable respiratory support, especially for critically ill children who require constant ventilator pressure. Inside the detection window 11, there is a folding curtain 12 to ensure that the detection window 11 is closed when not in use, preventing the newborn's head from getting too cold and causing illness. The detection window 11 and the curtain 12 are equipped with an adhesive mechanism; a fixing mechanism is set on both sides of the outer wall of the cap body 1 to tighten the ventilator nasal mask 2. A pair of air delivery tubes 23 are fixedly connected to the ventilator nasal mask 2. The outer wall of the cap body 1 is attached with fixing straps 24 to fix the air delivery tubes 23. The pair of air delivery tubes 23, the support block 16, the protruding plate 21, and the ear loops 15 are all symmetrically arranged with the first button-type Velcro closure 13 as the center.

[0026] Furthermore, the adhesive mechanism includes a first button-type hook and loop fastener 13 fixedly connected to the curtain 12, and a second button-type hook and loop fastener 14 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hat body 1, which adheres to the first button-type hook and loop fastener 13. The first button-type hook and loop fastener 13 and the second button-type hook and loop fastener 14 work together. The first button-type hook and loop fastener 13 (hook side): The hook side is composed of many tiny hook-like structures. When it comes into contact with the loop side of the second button-type hook and loop fastener, the hooks hook onto the fibers on the loop side, forming a tight bond. The second button-type hook and loop fastener 14 (loop side): The loop side is composed of many small loop-like fibers, which can interlock with the hooks on the hook side. The hooks on the hook side pass through the small loops on the loop side, thereby achieving adhesion and fixation. When the first button-type hook and loop fastener 13 and the second button-type hook and loop fastener 14 are used together, the hook side and the loop side interact, and the hooks hook onto the loop-like fibers, making the two parts firmly stuck together. This adhesive force can effectively resist external forces and provide a strong fixing effect.

[0027] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes support blocks 16 fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the cap body 1. A pair of fixing rods 17 are fixedly connected to the end of each support block 16 away from the cap body 1. The fixing rods 17 (or medical bandages) are widely used tools in the medical field, typically for fixation, bandaging, hemostasis, support, and other therapeutic purposes. A spherical head 18 is fixedly connected to the end of each fixing rod 17 away from the support block 16, allowing the end of the fixing rod 17 to be easily inserted into the fixing hole 22. A pair of protruding plates 21 are fixedly connected to the ventilator nasal prosthesis 2, and the protruding plates 21 have fixing holes 22 for inserting the fixing rods 17.

[0028] In this embodiment, when a special ultrasound cap for newborn heads is required, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the cap body 1 is placed on the newborn's head, with the curtain 12 positioned at the anterior fontanelle. The ventilator nasal mask 2 is then placed on the newborn's face. A pair of air tubes 23 are secured to the outer wall of the cap body 1 using the fixing straps 24, ensuring the straps do not obstruct the opening and closing of the curtain 12. The ear loops 15 on both sides of the cap body 1 are then positioned to secure the newborn's ears, with the first tightening strap 151 within the ear loops 15 tightening to ensure the ear loops 15 fit snugly around the newborn's ears. The ends of the fixing rods 17 on the support blocks 16 on both sides of the cap body 1 are then inserted into the fixing holes 22 on the ends of the protruding plates 21, and the ends of the fixing rods 17 are knotted, thus ensuring the taut fixing rods 17 support the ventilator nasal mask 2 stably on the newborn's face. Finally, the first button-type Velcro 13 can be manually lifted upwards, moving it away from the second button-type Velcro 14 on the cap body 1, thus exposing the newborn's anterior fontanelle through the detection window 11. Medical staff use ultrasound equipment to examine the newborn's anterior fontanelle through the detection window 11. After the examination is completed, the curtain 12 can be placed over the detection window 11, and the first button-type Velcro 13 can be attached to the second button-type Velcro 14, thereby securing the curtain 12 to the detection window 11. This process is quick and convenient.
