The gestational age is only 24 weeks + 6 days, and the weight is only 700g and 590g, this pair of ultra-premature dragon and phoenix fetuses, after 103 days of day and night protection by the neonatal medical team of Luohu Hospital, finally returned to the arms of their parents safely and healthily.
A palm-sized dragon and phoenix fetus was born unexpectedly
On November 28, 2021, a mother who was only 6 months pregnant was forced to give birth early due to "inevitable miscarriage" and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses at Luohu Hospital.
This pair of palm-sized babies are ultra-premature babies, with a body only the size of an adult's palm and a transparent gelatinous skin.
The treatment of ultra-premature babies is a problem in itself, and the treatment of ultra-premature babies with twins is even more difficult, in this regard, the hospital attaches great importance to it, and immediately formed an obstetric and neonatal MDT resuscitation team, and implemented respiratory, circulatory support, body temperature management, etc. within 1 hour of gold, creating a prerequisite for rescuing children and reducing complications.
Medical staff take good care to help through the difficulties
Due to the low gestational age and weight, a series of complications of ultra-preterm infants in follow-up treatment still followed. To this end, the Department of Neonatology organizes a special treatment team to formulate a detailed diagnosis and treatment plan. Nurse Fang Xiaoyan set up a "dedicated nursing team" to provide refined nursing, and through the careful care of medical staff, the babies are also healthy day by day.
According to Dr. Liu, director of the Department of Neonatology, "A baby with such a small gestational age needs to survive multiple difficulties such as breathing, infection, and digestion to survive normally, but our rescue and treatment is not only to save the child and survive, but also to help the child live a quality life." ”
"In the care of our children, we strive to create an internal environment close to the mother's body and reduce her future complications." The head of the neonatal care team said.
Social Care Relay
Due to the small gestational age, long hospitalization time, coupled with twins, economic pressure is the biggest burden on the longfeng family. To this end, the hospital helps solve economic problems through "water drop chips". The department also provides various humanistic care measures for family members, including online visits and parenting guidance.
Healthy and safe discharge
After 103 days of day and night guarding, the pair of ultra-premature babies were successfully discharged from the hospital.
When they were discharged from the hospital, the brothers and sisters weighed 3370 grams and 3140 grams respectively, and all aspects of the indicators reached the standard.
Their parents also carried pennants and thanked all the medical staff of the neonatology department in person.
The 103 days record the miracle of life, but also record the care of society, and the faith and effort, professionalism and dedication of the neonatal medical team that has never given up.
