Modern Express News (reporter Li Zixuan correspondent Liu Wei Liu Juan) "Kiki children, you work hard for 100 days, strong and brave, hard to cooperate, excellent performance, by our judges brave little princess, in the future every day to try to shine, cute ..." On April 20, the medical staff of the Neonatal Department of Huai'an Maternal and Child Health Hospital celebrated the 100th day of birth for "Slap Girl" Kiki (pseudonym). This little guy with a birth weight of only 550 grams has been "cutting through thorns" all the way, and is also the lowest weight premature baby successfully treated in Huai'an City.
The Modern Express reporter learned that on the evening of January 11, Kiki's mother had abdominal pain and bleeding, and Kiki came to this world early and could not avoid it. The hospital quickly set up a premature baby resuscitation team, performed on-site resuscitation in the delivery room, and after the child's condition stabilized, he was transferred to the intensive care unit.
Pan Zhaojun, director of the Department of Neonatology of Huai'an Maternal and Child Health Hospital, told reporters that The gestational week is only 23 weeks + 2 days when Kiki was born with only 550 grams, the body is only the size of an adult's palm, the calf is not much thicker than the chopsticks, the skin of the whole body is transparent and jelly-like, the eyebrows and eyes are still indistinguishable, the breathing and heartbeat are weak, and the whole body is soft, so that such a fragile little life can survive, which is a great test for the medical team.
Kiki's first obstacle when she came to the human world was the "Breathing Pass". Ultra-premature babies are extremely immature and have weak spontaneous breathing. Because her gestational age is very small, the hospital gave her invasive breathing support, which is actually dangerous for her every day. Doctors said that in the early days, the child's maturity is extremely poor, ventilation, hope to maintain her vital signs, and afraid that various parameters are too high for her, which will lead to further damage, so the medical team often stands next to it, spending two to three hours to adjust the parameters of a ventilator, and preventing the child from becoming infected in the process. For premature babies, infection is a major fatal cause.
In addition to the "breathing off" and "infection off", how to feed kiki, who is extremely immature, is also a difficult problem. Pan Zhaojun said that in the early days, deep vein indwelling was done to maintain her various life channels, and even when she ate very little in the early stage, there was sufficient nutrition to ensure the child's growth needs, and we have been adhering to protective treatment measures to let the child try not to let her have problems before there is a problem.
Although every step is difficult, every doctor is full of confidence, and a large part of it comes from the surprise that Little Kiki gave to the medical staff. She is making progress every day, passing through the barriers again and again, and has experienced the breathing barrier, infection barrier, and nutrition barrier. At present, Kiki's weight has grown to 2.05 kg, and all indicators have developed well. We are actively giving her oxygen, away from the ventilator, throughout the treatment process, so far we have not dared to say a long breath of relief, can only say that the situation is much better than the original, the child is getting closer and closer to the way home. For a neonatologist, we must not give up any life, every life has a bright side, our department is full of confidence, for the future of similar gestational age, weight, or even lower babies, we are more confident that these children will receive guaranteed treatment in our place. Pan Zhaojun said.
Day after day, the love of medical staff for Kiki grew day by day, and she became the "baby" of everyone in the neonatology department." Although we held this ceremony, she may not necessarily know, but we hope that she can feel, we care for her, I want to say to the baby, after so much experience, bitter and willing, may the child face the sea behind, spring blossoms. Wang Yajuan, deputy head nurse of the neonatal department of Huai'an Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said. (Courtesy of the correspondent)
