The problems solved by the neonatal lumbar puncture model

The neonatal lumbar puncture model mainly addresses the problems of difficult operation, high risk and insufficient practical opportunities in clinical teaching. Due to the small size and special anatomical structure of newborns, situations such as inaccurate positioning, failed puncture or spinal cord injury are prone to occur in actual operation. Traditional teaching methods are difficult to meet the training needs of medical students and nursing staff. This model is designed based on the real scale and anatomical structure of newborns, clearly presenting the positional relationship of the lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and surrounding soft tissues, enabling learners to intuitively understand the puncture levels and acupuncture directions.

Through repeated model practice, students can become familiar with the puncture process in a risk-free environment, including key steps such as body position placement, needle insertion Angle, needle sensation judgment, and cerebrospinal fluid extraction, thereby effectively improving the accuracy and proficiency of the operation. Teachers can also use the model to demonstrate incorrect operations, helping students identify and avoid common problems. The application of this model has significantly reduced the risk of puncture practice for real newborns in clinical teaching, achieving safe and efficient skills training. Overall, the neonatal lumbar puncture model provides a scientific and standardized training platform for medical staff, which is conducive to improving the overall level of neonatal emergency rescue and diagnosis and treatment.
