T NEO PAD Cool wraps are designed and performed for neonate in a way to induce
hypothermia more appropriately. Neonate can be wrapped to an extent not disturbing
other treatments or actions with the patient, diagnostics e.g.
Place cool wrap / mattress horizontally spread onto a level support. Ensure that
mattress and ports (6) are on the same level, approximately.
Place mattress onto a
10 - 20 mm thick thermally insulating layer (elastic foamy
plastics ) for ensuring good thermal insulation during hypothermia operation.
Place protective interlayer onto the cool wrap mattress.
Place neonate onto A - B - C region. Place head onto
A
. Feets schould be located
at part
C
and body/ chest along part
B.
Place neonate in a way to allow partial wrapping around the body below axillas.
NOTE
Do not touch axilla. Avoid chafing!
For positioning T NEO cool wraps use small felt fixation tapes. Tapes are fed through
eyelets at right and left sides of the wrap then forming a loop. Both tape ends are
knoted. The user may select by choosing the appropriate loop length to what extent the
neonate or patient is wrapped.
Wrap neonate only to an extent that free access
to the patient is ensured.
Wrap creates a cool ambient around and
near neonate.
