An ultra-low weight premature baby
Finally grew from "little beggar" to "big treasure"
Discharged ~
650 grams, everyone's "treasure in the palm of your hand"
On January 3, Xiao Jie, who was only 28 weeks pregnant, gave birth. Because of high blood pressure and severe eclampsia during pregnancy, she gave birth to the baby more than 12 weeks before the expected date.
650 grams, the weight of the baby at birth, she is only the size of an adult's palm. The limbs are bruised, and under the skin as thin as a cicada's wing, the blood vessels as thin as hair are clearly visible. Her breathing was weak, but her whole body was stretching hard, showing her tenacious life.
Although the baby is very small, but it is very well-behaved, the nurses and aunts gave the baby a nickname "Little Baobao", but in fact, the situation of Xiao Baobao is not optimistic. Leaving the mother's body early, she has incomplete physical functions, and when she is born, she faces many tests of life and death.
First of all, the breathing of the little baby is very weak, the normal fetal lung maturity gestational age is 35 to 36 weeks, the small baby's gestational age is 28 weeks, the lungs are not fully developed, the lack of surfactant, the surface of the alveoli is atrophy. Simply put, she was breathing weakly and had more and more difficulty breathing.
Ordinary babies are born to grunt and suck, but little babies can't. Because there is no sucking and swallowing function, the gastrointestinal function is also underdeveloped, and the little baby cannot eat milk at all. But how can you grow up without breastfeeding? Xiao Baobao's family was anxious.
The test results came out, and Xiao Baobao was born with early sepsis of the newborn!
Xiao Baobao's condition was extremely critical, and she could only rely on artificial ventilators to maintain a fragile life, and soon she was arranged by the "mothers" of the neonatology department to be admitted to the incubator for treatment.
The "Little Treasure" of the pass-
In the face of complex conditions and huge challenges, Gao Jie, director of the Department of Neonatology of Huaihe Hospital, led the medical team, neonatology, obstetrics multidisciplinary linkage, the first time detailed diagnosis and treatment plan, according to the condition, the department also carried out case discussion and large rounds, 24 hours to monitor xiao Baobao's blood pressure, blood gas, blood oxygen, blood glucose and other vital signs and internal environment.
Because Xiao Guibao's body is too fragile, in order to minimize the stimulation and pain caused by puncture, the "mothers" of the neonatology department have successfully established a life "channel" for Xiao Guibao through the peripheral venous central venous catheterization (PICC), and various therapeutic drugs and nutrients are continuously injected into Xiao Guibao's body through this life path.
28 weeks of premature baby in the care of also has great challenges, the nursing team also for the small baby to develop a personalized care plan, in order to reduce the stimulation of the baby, according to the treatment arrangement, the nursing team will be concentrated in the operation time, so that the baby can have more time in the incubator "rest and recuperation", while taking "bird's nest care" "kangaroo care", etc., to give the little baby the greatest protection and sense of security.
In the course of more than two months of treatment in the neonatology department, Xiao Guibao and the experienced neonatology "mothers" have broken through the heavy barriers of respiratory failure, severe sepsis, feeding intolerance, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and cannot be taken offline for deoxygenation under the condition that the family members are about to give up. Under the persistence and meticulous care of the "mothers" of the neonatology department, they have turned the crisis into safety again and again, and the most tenacious vitality has erupted. With the pipes on the body being uprooted one by one, the "little one" grew into a "big treasure" and the weight increased to 2370g.
The "baby in the palm of your hand" was discharged from the hospital
On the day of discharge, the ward was filled with a joyful atmosphere comparable to the New Year. The little boy is lively and cute, the parents are in tears, and the medical staff looks at the baby and clings to it.
In recent years, the treatment capacity of critically ill newborns in Huaihe Hospital has been significantly enhanced, the multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment mode of critically ill newborns has been continuously improved, the standardized and efficient neonatal critical care system has been successfully established, the rescue and treatment capacity of critically ill newborns has been continuously improved, the regional radiation capacity has been significantly enhanced, and the level and technology of critically ill newborn treatment have been raised to a new level. We will continue to work hard and cooperate sincerely to care for the healthy growth of more "little beggars".

What is the standard standard physical standard at the time of birth of the baby? What is an Ultra Low Birth Weight Baby?
In general, the normal range of weight produced by a normal newborn is 2.5 kg to 4 kg, and less than 2.5 kg is called a low birth weight. There are also children who are stunted in the womb, which can be as low as 1.5 kg or even less than 1 kg, which is called very low birth weight or ultra-low birth weight, and more than 4 kg is a huge child. But at the same time, it is also necessary to combine the gestational age, and the birth weight is different for different gestational ages.
What factors affect baby weight when gestational age is the same?
In the case of the same gestational age, some complications of pregnant mothers have a greater impact on the child's birth weight. For example, some mothers have high blood pressure and proteinuria during pregnancy, and their babies are often born with a relatively small weight, called intrauterine growth retardation. In contrast, a mother with pregnancy and diabetes, in the case of the same gestational age, gives birth to a "sugar baby" that will grow larger and easily become a huge child. After all children are born, we need to closely monitor their blood sugar levels and feeding.
What is the impact of a baby's newborn weight on later development, either too high or too low?
Whether it is a child with pregnancy hypersensitivity or a child with diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, in addition to weight changes, children are also prone to some other complications, such as polycythemia, breathing difficulties, and more likely jaundice.
Mothers with pregnancy hyperesthesia are very easy to give birth prematurely, and serious ones will cause intrauterine distress in the fetus, affecting the child's brain; the child is generally small after birth, so we must monitor the feeding situation after birth and try to catch up with the normal child.
The "sugar baby" with pregnancy and diabetes mellitus, although it looks white and fat and likable, is very easy to merge with low blood sugar. If after birth, the blood sugar is suddenly very low, it will also cause damage to the brain. In the long run, severe hypoglycemia will cause children to be mentally retarded in the future development process, and there may be difficulties in learning, and problems such as inattention. In addition, sugar baby jaundice is also more serious than the average child.
Therefore, pregnant mothers must undergo regular obstetric examinations during pregnancy, and it is very important to control weight, blood sugar and blood pressure reasonably.
