You must know that this baby stayed in the mother's belly for less than thirty-seven weeks and only for more than thirty-five weeks. He was a pure premature baby and should not have been born. The baby was born ahead of schedule because mom and dad were having dinner at a friend's house tonight, and something unexpected happened on their way home happily. From then on, this happy little family was completely ruined by a drunk van driver.
Thinking of this, the medical staff felt even more pity for the child who was born without his mother. Xie Wanying held the baby carefully, holding the baby's head and neck with one hand, and supporting the baby's buttocks with the other hand. She was extremely attentive.
The weight of premature babies is generally less than five kilograms. Today's baby is only about four and a half kilograms. The head circumference is small, and he is a mini baby that is slightly smaller than a normal fetus. The medical staff could feel that the baby was as light as a little angel with wings, as if he was about to fly to heaven at any time. The doctor can only be on tenterhooks and make every move like walking on thin ice.
Several medical staff gathered around the small table where the child was lying, busy trying to get the child to breathe smoothly.
Gently spank the child's little feet.
I patted the child many times, but there was no movement.
Then take various tools and work hard to carefully clean the debris in the child's mouth and nose, and check whether there is amniotic fluid, mucus or other things blocking the airway in the child's small nostrils and mouth.
After cleaning it again and again, the doctor's mysophobia skills were exhausted.
The medical staff were so busy that they were all covered in sweat, and every breath was hot.
This is almost overwhelming.
After working hard for a long time to save this little life, the results were quite average.
It can only be said that this child's condition is more serious, and since this is a primary health center and there are no specialized rescue drugs and equipment for neonatology, the doctor is too clever to make a meal without rice.
"It's probably a problem with the hyaline membrane lung." Dr. Hu said. She did not participate in the hands-on rescue. After carefully listening to other people's data reports, she made a professional judgment: "There was no time to give the mother a lung-stimulating injection before, so this is an expected result."
This is to comfort all the medical staff involved in the rescue and not to feel disappointed or frustrated. Since it was expected, it means that this little life can still be saved.
Lung-promoting injection refers to a drug that is medically injected into the mother when the fetus is forced to leave the mother's body before full-term delivery. The purpose is to promote fetal development, ripen the fetal lungs, and prevent neonates from suffering from hyaline membrane disease.
Neonatal hyaline membrane disease is commonly referred to as white lung by clinical doctors.
When it comes to white lung, this term will be familiar to anyone who has experienced the ordeal of SARS.
White lung is not a disease name, it is an X-ray imaging manifestation.
After normal inhalation, the lungs will open like a balloon and the alveoli will be filled with gas. Such lungs will be black under X-ray images. For example, the x-ray of the stomach after bloating is black.
If there is no inhalation or the patient's lungs do not open like an inflated balloon after inhaling, the image displayed under the X-ray is not black, but white. Therefore, it is commonly known as white lung clinically.
The cause of white lungs can be seen from the above symptoms, which is atelectasis, which means the lungs do not open.
In terms of imaging, in addition to white lungs, atelectasis has other symptoms that we may often hear doctors say, such as ground glass lesions, which are also imaging findings after the alveolar air content is reduced.
