摘要

Abstract：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(P0.01). The incidence of suboccipital skin bruising was lower in the study group than that of controls, with a significant difference(P0.05). 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.
