The invention relates to the technical field of funnel
volume measurement of funnel breasts, in particular to a method for measuring the funnel volume of a newborn false funnel chest, which comprises the following steps of: filling and leveling up a sunken part of newborn PPE by using ultra-
light clay, so that the surface of the ultra-
light clay is flat and is flush with the
thorax around a funnel; adding water into the measuring cylinder, and recording the initial volume of the water in the measuring cylinder; the ultra-
light clay for filling and leveling is taken out and placed at the bottom of the measuring cylinder, and the volume of the rising
water level in the measuring cylinder is the volume of the funnel; the step S1 and the step S2 are repeated for three times, and the average value of the three funnel volumes is the final funnel volume. The method is intuitive and accurate in result, non-invasive, non-toxic, non-radiative, simple to operate, less in time consumption, good in
repeatability, less in
material consumption, low in price, capable of being operated beside a
bed and free of transfer, and overcomes the defects that a traditional PE evaluation method is complex to operate, long in time consumption, high in examination cost, invasive (X-
ray radiation), needs to transfer a
sick child, and the like. And the accuracy of the result is influenced by the technology and experience of the inspector.
