Clinical practice of advanced 24-week preterm infant models

The advanced 24-week preterm infant model is a highly realistic teaching tool specifically designed for the clinical care and treatment training of extremely preterm infants, and is widely used in neonatology, obstetrics and nursing teaching. This model was strictly made in accordance with the body proportions and anatomical features of preterm infants at 24 weeks of gestational age. It has thin and transparent skin and slender limbs, and can realistically present the physiological characteristics of extremely low birth weight infants. Its design not only reproduces the physical features but also simulates the vulnerabilities of premature infants in terms of breathing, circulation, and body temperature regulation, providing medical staff with a realistic clinical practice experience.

In practice, this model can be used for training operations such as airway management, respiratory support, umbilical vein catheterization, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and basic nursing. Trainees can learn how to perform intubation or establish intravenous access in a very small operating space through simulation maniacs, and promptly correct their movements based on monitoring feedback. Meanwhile, the model can also set up various critical scenarios, such as apnea, cardiac arrest or hypothermia, to enable the medical team to train in rescue procedures and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Its clinical value lies in helping medical staff become familiar with the vulnerable state of extremely premature infants, cultivating their ability to operate precisely and cooperate as a team, thereby enhancing the success rate in actual treatment. The advanced 24-week preterm infant model is not only an important bridge in teaching, but also a significant tool for promoting the development of neonatal critical care medicine, which has profound significance for improving the survival rate and quality of life of critically ill newborns.
