Smart baby lying in the nest

The invention relates to a baby mat having a baby's physiological condition and automatically performing immediate treatment, in particular, a baby nest which can provide immediate stimulation to restore the baby's physiological condition, thereby improving the infant survival rate and reducing the working pressure of the medical staff.

Infants, especially premature babies, mean pregnant women who give birth after 20 to 37 weeks of pregnancy. Because the organs of the body are not yet mature, it is particularly prone to "newborn respiratory distress syndrome" and "premature apnea". "Insufficient body temperature", "easy to infect", "immature gastrointestinal tract" and "immature of the brain and eyes". "Premature apnea" is a phenomenon in which premature babies develop apnea due to immature brain development. In clinical practice, the symptoms of "premature apnea" are completely no breathing for more than twenty seconds, or although there is no more than twenty seconds but with blood oxygenation and heartbeat slowing, and medical staff often beat, Gentle friction or shaking is a way to improve the breathing of premature infants (Osborn & Henderson-Smart, 2009; Mathew, 2003). The study pointed out that the use of sound stimulation can also alleviate the symptoms of "premature apnea". After three days of birth in a week after the birth of a premature baby, listening to the mother's voice four times a day, premature infants appear less stressful and stable. Heartbeat and blood oxygen saturation (Bloch-Salisbury, Indic, Bednarek & Paydarfar, 2009; Mathew, 2003).

Tremor stimulation is the most commonly used method in recent years to alleviate apnea in premature babies or infants. The Harvard research team in the United States uses tremor stimulation to stop premature babies or infant apneas and initiate their respiratory movements. Although there are automated devices that generate tremor stimulation to deal with apnea in premature babies or infants, this method has been found clinically. However, it may cause side effects due to excessive or persistent tremor stimulation, such as startle reaction or excessive stimulation, which may cause nerve damage. In addition, the commercially available instrument does not Suitable for premature babies who are living in a neonatal intensive care unit (Lovell, et al., 1997; Eisenfeld, 1996; Pichard, et al., 2001; Hill, Adrezin & Eisenfeld, 2008).

In view of this, in order to achieve the effect of automatic stimulation, an auxiliary device is currently required, which can be used to allow the baby to roll within a certain range, and can be brought into contact with the auxiliary device when rolling, to ensure that the effect of the stimulation device can function.

In order to improve the survival rate of the baby and reduce the labor of the medical staff, the present invention discloses a new type of infant apnea stimulation nesting (referred to as a baby nest in the present case), and the baby bedroom can cooperate with the monitoring and processing device to immediately monitor the baby, and When it occurs apnea, it can be processed immediately to improve its breathing.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned effects of the infant bedroom disclosed in the present invention, it mainly comprises the following operation device: a sound playing device, which enables a premature baby or baby to hear the voice of his mother and improve his apnea with sound stimulation. Condition; the inflatable balloon device can inflate the inflatable balloon, and the inflated balloon can touch the lower leg of the baby to generate a light touch stimulus, thereby improving the condition of the apnea; the vibration stimulation device, the device can breathe Suspended premature babies or infants emit tremors to improve their breathing. In order to know immediately whether the baby has an apnea phenomenon, the monitoring processing device is used to perform this task. The various devices in the nest are connected by conductive woven fabrics, which replaces the convenience of traditional wires.

The function of both the infant bedroom and the monitoring device depends on the monitoring device. When the baby has an apnea, the monitoring device can transmit the signal to the control device, and then the control device transmits another signal to the baby to nest and drive the baby. The internal device provides various stimuli to improve the baby's breathing condition, thereby achieving immediate monitoring and immediate treatment.
