Description

1 TARIFF A MOVABLE ITEM FOR USE WITH INFANTS AND NEWBORNS. AN ARTIFICIAL HAND Technical Field to Which the Invention Relates 5 The invention is used to soothe infants aged 0-2 years and newborns, and to treat lung problems. a product intended for use in reducing secretions and performing postural drainage This relates to the artificial hand used for soothing. This artificial hand is used by nurses / midwives. By effectively mimicking the function of manual soothing, it helps babies sleep peacefully. It helps him / her to go through the process. 10 State of the Art Newborn care is a delicate process designed to support a baby's health and development. This requires a specific approach. During this process, calming the babies and improving their lung function are crucial. Reducing their secretions is of great importance. Newborn babies, 15 Especially those born prematurely face various challenges in the process of adapting to the outside world. They are exposed to stress factors. This stress causes an increase in respiratory rate, can cause irregular heartbeats and even fluctuations in oxygen levels. This is possible. Calming babies involves controlling these physiological responses. to allow them to breathe more easily and minimize energy loss 20 It provides (4-6). In calmed babies, breathing becomes more regular, This also contributes to a reduction in mucus buildup in the airways. Excessive lung secretions, especially in premature babies. This can lead to airway obstruction and an increased risk of infection. This is possible. Therefore, regularly calming babies is important for their lungs. It supports more efficient functioning. Swaddling, white noise, mom Techniques such as holding and gently rocking can help calm babies. These factors can also help. Additionally, factors such as skin-to-skin contact and the mother's voice can also play a role. By reducing the baby's stress level, the airways can flow more easily. It contributes to opening and reducing the amount of secretion. Therefore, 30 Newborn care involves not only nutrition and hygiene, but also emotional and Ensuring physical relaxation also plays a critical role. 2 In newborn care, to calm babies and reduce lung secretions. Among the existing methods for this purpose is for nurses or midwives to physically examine babies. Patting the baby with their hands is a common practice. The method is a process performed manually over a specific period of time and can cause some problems. This leads to (6-8). Nurses and midwives help to soothe babies' restlessness. because he had to pat them on the back of his hand for a long time to soothe them During this period, caregivers become physically exhausted and psychologically fatigued. From this perspective, experiencing burnout is inevitable. Furthermore, this long-term... Depending on the procedure, the efficiency of healthcare personnel decreases. In addition, the personnel Having to care for babies for extended periods of time, and having to provide care for other patients and 10 This limits their ability to provide treatment. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the overall quality of care. and causes a waste of time. The traditional rocking method is for babies. Although effective, prolonged restlessness affects their eating and sleeping patterns. This can negatively affect babies' healthy weight gain. Excessive crying can hinder healthy weight gain in infants. can prevent and prolong recovery processes (9,10). 15 In premature babies, apnea is a condition affecting the development of the central nervous system and respiratory muscles. It is a serious respiratory disorder resulting from the fact that it is not yet fully completed. Premature apnea typically presents with apnea, bradycardia (decreased heart rate), and It is characterized by the triad of desaturation (decrease in blood oxygen levels). 20 Cessation of breathing lasting longer than 20 seconds or shorter periods of breathing. If the cessation of sleep is accompanied by bradycardia and hypoxemia, it is considered clinically significant apnea. This is being evaluated. Currently, nurses are assessing apnea in premature babies. Various clinical observations, monitoring systems, and early detection methods are used to identify the risk. It uses warning protocols. Infants, pulse oximeter, cardiac monitor and 25 The patient is monitored with a respiratory monitor. An apnea attack usually lasts longer than 20 seconds. prolonged respiratory arrest or shorter duration but with bradycardia (<100 bpm) and It is defined as attacks accompanied by hypoxemia (SpO₂ <85-90%). Nurses continuously monitor data from the monitors to identify abnormal breathing patterns. It detects their patterns early. In addition, babies' skin color 30 (pallor or cyanosis), chest movements, motor activity and general condition carefully These include irregular breathing patterns, short periods of apnea, and Hypotonia (loose muscle structure) is among the early signs of apnea risk. In addition, nurses assess the baby's head and neck position to identify possible It aims to prevent the risk of obstructive apnea. Respiratory support device (nasal CPAP 35 3 In infants receiving (or oxygen therapy), proper mask positioning and Accurate pressure readings are of great importance. When an apnea attack develops, Nurses provide gentle stimulation (tactile stimulation), position changes, and if necessary. They provide respiratory support. In cases where apnea attacks recur frequently, With the doctor's knowledge, pharmacological treatment (such as caffeine citrate) or mechanical therapy (5) The possibility of ventilation is evaluated (2,5,6). With these methods, nurses, By detecting the risk of apnea in premature babies at an early stage, timely intervention can be ensured. to ensure intervention and prevent long-term complications It is helpful. Nursing practices in the known state of the technique. Although it is effective in identifying the risk of apnea in premature babies, some 10 There are disadvantages and shortcomings. First of all, monitoring systems... unnecessary due to dependency, false alarms and technical errors. This can lead to interventions. Monitors sometimes react to motion or electrodes. false low heart rate or respiratory arrest due to reasons such as slippage They are able to perceive this, which means healthcare personnel have to be constantly on alert and avoid unnecessary 15 This can lead to interventions. Furthermore, monitoring based solely on monitor data, It may be insufficient for early detection of apnea because some short apneas Attacks can go unnoticed on the monitor. In addition, clinical observation... And physical examination methods can be subjective and depend on the nurse's experience. This varies. Especially in intensive care settings, there are 20 nurses per nurse. The high number of miscarriages means that each baby is constantly being treated individually. This makes observation difficult (3,4,11,12). Also, in premature babies Since the cause of apnea is often multifactorial, it is not just about breathing. focusing on stopping it, addressing the underlying causes (metabolic disorders, infection, This can lead to conditions such as neurological developmental deficiencies being overlooked. This situation, 25 Only symptomatic management of apnea attacks and long-term root causes are necessary. This can lead to the causes not being adequately addressed. Finally, early Intervention and treatment options may not always be sufficient. Especially Simple interventions such as position changes and tactile stimulation can help resolve repetitive or It may be insufficient in severe apnea attacks. Pharmacological agents such as caffeine citrate 30 Although effective, it is not suitable for all babies and can cause some side effects. This is possible. In severe cases requiring mechanical ventilation, prolonged breathing may be necessary. support reduces the risk of chronic lung diseases such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia It can increase [the risk of complications]. For these reasons, apnea management in premature infants is still challenging. 4 It is an area open to development, becoming more sensitive, providing early warning, and personalized. Follow-up methods are needed (2,5-7,12).
