27-year-old Ms. Huang could not have imagined that because of her own little negligence, her daughter Xingxing had only "lived" in her stomach for less than 6 months, and she could not wait to come to this world, and her life and death were uncertain.
Fortunately, a group of medical staff who did not give up passed through the "team battle" day and night, and after 76 days of cutting thorns, Xingxing was finally discharged from the hospital smoothly.
Dangerous! Infection with Listeria gives birth to premature babies
Pyelonephritis, fever, premature birth at 24 weeks of pregnancy, severe asphyxia in newborns... For Ms. Huang, who lives in Jianggan District, this experience as a mother is like a "nightmare".
The "nightmare" began with a fever, ms. Huang was pregnant with the baby for the first time, and when she turned 24 weeks pregnant, the danger was quietly approaching.
On this day, Ms. Huang suddenly suffered from low back pain and fever, and her family rushed her to the hospital for treatment. The high fever does not go 39 degrees, and it is accompanied by frequent urination and deepening of urine color, and at first, the receiving doctor considers acute pyelonephritis. However, after blood culture and urinary culture, it was found that it was not so simple, and Ms. Huang was infected with the "Big Devil" - Listeria.
Listeria, also known as the "refrigerator killer," is often infected by eating unclean foods. Be aware that once a pregnant woman is infected with the bacteria, the fetus may be in danger of being fatal.
Soon after, an even more heart-wrenching scene appeared. Ms. Huang, who was only 24 weeks pregnant, gave birth, and her family rushed her to the obstetrics department of the First People's Hospital of Hangzhou. At this time, fetal heart rate monitoring is abnormal, amniotic fluid is turbid... One red flag after another made the obstetrician sweat. Fortunately, a few hours later, Ms. Huang successfully gave birth to her daughter Xingxing, but Xingxing weighed only 670g and was an ultra-premature baby.
The newborn star did not cry, only the size of an adult's slap, thighs as thick as an index finger, skin gelatinous, weak breathing... It's heart-wrenching to look at. The newborn rescue team that has been prepared for the position immediately carried out rescue, radiation bed warmth, endotracheal intubation, T combination positive pressure ventilation... After a few minutes, the baby's complexion turned rosy, his vital signs gradually stabilized, and he was immediately transferred to nicu (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).
Father Star didn't hold out hope, but he couldn't bear to give up. Attending doctor Zhang Zhiqun encouraged the family to say, "Our city's NICU team once treated a premature baby with a birth weight of only 420 grams for 24 weeks, and is currently 7 years old, we have 6 or 7 hundred grams of premature babies successfully discharged from the hospital every year, as long as you do not give up and do not abandon, we will do our best to return you a surprise!" ”
The family was infected by Director Zhang's words, strengthened the confidence of treatment, and actively cooperated with the treatment of medical care, whether it was windy or rainy, the epidemic control travel restrictions, the child's father insisted on sending breast milk every day. Everyone escorted it with all their might, just to lift up this baby who came into the world too early.
Always monitoring Set up a lifeline
Ultra-premature babies are not just mini versions of normal babies, but also "pass five levels and cut six generals", breathing off, circulating off, infection off, nutrition off... Survive each level in order to stay in the world.
In order to let this mini baby survive and live a quality life, the Department of Neonatology has set up a special rescue team and an independent nursing team to take care of her individually and create an intrauterine environment as much as possible. Star baby was born with severe asphyxia, respiratory failure and other organs are immature, in order to do a good job of fine management, early detection of potential problems, Director Zhang's team carried out a series of non-invasive technologies such as brain oxygen monitoring, non-invasive cardiac function monitoring, bedside cardiopulmonary combined ultrasound, etc., to help guide fluid management, blood transfusion and the rational use of ventilators, any threat was found at the first time, and achieved precise treatment.

Breathing off, circulating off held up, followed by infection off. Newborn stars, the skin is like a shelled egg blowing bullet can be broken, careful nurses and aunts use hydrocolloid excipients, skin moisturizers and other preventive protection in advance. In order to prevent infection and necrotizing enterocolitis, Director Zhang proposed an early intestinal protection program. Improve the detection of various pathogens and trace the pathogen of maternal infection, give targeted anti-infective therapy, avoid excessive use of antibiotics, encourage early breastfeeding, and oral intestinal probiotics to help establish a normal intestinal flora. Under the meticulous care of the medical team, Xingxing did not suffer complications such as skin damage, serious infections, cerebral hemorrhage, and necrotizing enterocolitis throughout the hospitalization.
76 days of treatment creates a miracle of life
After 76 days of active and effective treatment, the premature baby weighed 2300 grams, and the baby, who was close to full term, was cured and discharged. From the beginning of respiratory distress, inability to breastfeed, immature physical functions in all aspects, to the stable breathing and body temperature before discharge, the normal indicators, and finally can return to the arms of parents and mothers.
Before being discharged from the hospital, Director Zhang personally guided parents to learn kangaroo care and ensured that Xingxing Parents were proficient in kangaroo hugging. The nursing team provides guidance on how to breastfeed, skin care, bathing and a series of daily care, building confidence in the care of premature babies.
Holding the child in their hands, Xingxing's parents shed tears of excitement: "Originally I didn't have much hope, I didn't expect that in just over two months, I can return us such a healthy and lovely baby, I am so grateful!" ”。 Star discharge only needs intermittent oxygen inhalation, 3 days after discharge Star baby completely out of oxygen, after discharge regular outpatient follow-up, guidance on how to newborn touch, exercise training, etc., correct the age of less than 2 months has looked up very stable, bright eyes seem to say: I will thrive.
This is the result of the perseverance of NICU medical staff to protect life, and it is also a miracle of life created by angels in white and babies!
