Recumbent aid for premature infants

The invention is related to the nursing supplement, in particular to a lying aid for premature infants.

The so-called premature babies refer to babies whose gestational age is less than 37 weeks. Because of the early birth, the muscles, bones or body system of the body have not yet matured, so they lack the ability to flex the body and activities. Therefore, the nursing staff needs periodicity. Use the posture of lying down, side lying and prone to adjust the position of premature infants, and use nesting to provide appropriate support to avoid premature infants with unstable signs of life due to poor posture and insufficient support. .

In the traditional nesting method, the caregiver first visually measures the required size, then aligns one side of the two large towels with each other, and then winds the other side of the two large towels into a U-shaped boundary. Finally, use a small towel to fold out the appropriate height for the pillow, but this nesting method is prone to the following problems:

Moreover, because the size of the nest is determined by the nursing staff through visual inspection. The size is so easy to have a size error situation.

2. The height of the border of the nest is not suitable: because of the artificial relationship, the boundary of the nest is prone to height deficiency after the winding is completed, so that the feet of premature infants can easily cross the boundary. Once they cross, there is no way to Reverting to the original position, so that the premature infant can not maintain the posture of knee flexion.

3. The border blocking effect of the nest is not good: since the boundary of the nest is U-shaped after the winding is completed, the top of the premature infant lacks the boundary blocking, and it is easy to leave the original position as long as the feet are at a glance.

4. Over-wrapping: In order to maintain the head and spine of premature infants in line to prevent asymmetry of the body posture and avoid excessive extension of the shoulder and hip joints, the caregiver will insert between the chest and the abdomen to the legs. The reel of a small towel is wrapped around the body with another towel to provide a soothing effect, but it limits the activity of premature babies.

5. It is not easy to place the pipeline: since the nest is made of large towels and there is no proper passage for the respirator or other instruments, it is easy to cause mutual interference or hit between multiple pipelines. The condition of the knot.
