Objective To observe the effects of self-made water pillow in prevention of neonatal skull and auricle appearance deformation and suboccipital pressure ulcer in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods A total of 100 neonates in NICU were divided into the control group and study group according to the admission sequence, with 50 cases in each group. Both groups received enhanced neonatal care, the routine cotton pillow and self-made water pillow was applied in the control group and the study group, respectively. The conditions of neonatal skull and auricle deformation and suboccipital pressure ulcer were observed and compared between two groups. Results The rate of skull and auricle appearance deformation was lower in the study group than that of controls , with a significant difference (P<0.01). The incidence of suboccipital skin bruising was lower in the study group than that of controls, with a significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of self-made water pillow in NICU can effectively prevent neonatal skull and auricle deformation and the occurrence of suboccipital pressure sores.%目的 观察新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)中应用自制水枕在预防新生儿头颅、耳廓变形及枕后压疮中的效果.方法 100例新生儿根据入住NICU顺序分为对照组和实验组,各50例.常规护理基础上对照组新生儿使用棉垫颈肩枕,实验组使用自制水枕垫高患儿头颈部.观察2组患儿头颅、耳廓外观的变化,以及枕后皮肤压疮情况.结果 实验组新生儿发生头颅、耳廓外观变形的比例低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<001) .实验组新生儿枕后皮肤压红发生率低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论 应用自制水枕能有效预防新生儿头颅、耳廓变形和枕后皮肤压疮,值得借鉴.
