The significance of the lumbar puncture model for infants

Author:ADA MED SUPPLY LIMITED

The infant lumbar puncture model is a simulation tool specifically designed for medical education and clinical training, mainly used to help trainees master the skills of performing lumbar puncture surgery on infants. Lumbar puncture is used for the examination of cerebrospinal fluid in infants and young children, drug injection and other treatments. Due to the high operational difficulty and risk of this model, its significance is particularly prominent.

Characteristics

1. Imitate the life-sized baby, lie on your side on a hard board, bend your head towards your chest, bend your knees towards your abdomen, support your knees with both hands, and arch your waist as far back as possible. It can also simulate sitting postures.

2. Accurate bone markers: The interspinous space and the posterior superior iliac spine are distinct.

3. Puncture site: Intervertebral space between the 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebrae.

4. The feel is realistic, with a strong breakthrough sensation when inserting the needle. Correct puncture can simulate the outflow of cerebrospinal fluid.

5. Be equipped with spare spinal canals and puncture needles.

First of all, the spinal structure of infants is different from that of adults. Extra care must be taken during the puncture to avoid spinal cord injury or other complications. The infant lumbar puncture model precisely reproduces the size, shape and flexibility of the infant's spine, enabling trainees to understand the anatomical characteristics of infants, master the correct puncture Angle and depth, and reduce errors and risks in clinical operations.

Secondly, this mode provides trainees with a safe practice platform. Trainees can repeatedly practice in a simulated environment, familiarize themselves with the operation steps and skills, and enhance their confidence. Through model practice, doctors can master accurate puncture methods and emergency response capabilities before actual operation, ensuring the safety of infant patients.

In conclusion, the infant lumbar puncture model has played a significant role in medical education and clinical training, providing strong support for enhancing technical proficiency and ensuring the safety of infant treatment
