You should know that this baby stayed in the mother's belly for less than 37 weeks, only more than 35 weeks, and was a pure premature baby, and should not have been born. The baby was born early because his parents went to a friend's house for dinner tonight, and they didn't expect that a sudden disaster would happen on their way home happily. From then on, this happy little family was completely destroyed by a drunk van driver.
Thinking of this, the medical staff felt even more pity for this child who had just been born without a mother. Xie Wanying carefully held the baby, holding the child's little head and neck with one hand, and supporting the child's little buttocks with the other hand. It can be said that she was extremely attentive.
The weight of a premature baby is usually less than 5 kg. This baby weighs only about 4.5 kg, with a small head circumference, a mini version of a normal fetus. The medical staff could feel that this baby was as light as an angel with wings, as if it was about to fly to heaven at any time. The doctor could only be nervous and tread on thin ice in every move.
Several medical staff surrounded the small table where the child was lying, busy trying to help the child breathe smoothly.
Gently spank the child's feet.
I tapped the child many times, but he didn't move.
Then use various tools to carefully clean out the debris in the baby's mouth and nose, and check whether there is amniotic fluid, mucus or other things blocking the airway in the baby's nostrils and mouth.
The doctor cleaned it again and again, using all his obsessive-compulsive skills.
The medical staff were so busy that they were sweating profusely and every breath they took was hot.
...
...
This is so anxiety-provoking.
We tried for a long time to save this little life, but the results were quite mediocre.
All we can say is that the child's condition is quite serious, and this is a grassroots health center without specialized neonatal rescue drugs and equipment, so the doctors are helpless.
"It's probably a problem with the hyaline membrane lung," said Dr. Hu. She did not participate in the rescue, but after carefully listening to the data reports of others, she made a professional judgment: "We didn't have time to give the mother a lung-boosting injection before, so this is an expected result."
This is to comfort all the medical staff involved in the rescue, and to tell them 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's body when the fetus is forced to leave the mother's body prematurely before full-term delivery. The purpose is to promote fetal development, mature the fetal lungs, and prevent the newborn from suffering from hyaline membrane disease.
Neonatal hyaline membrane disease, commonly referred to as white lung by clinical doctors.
Speaking of white lung, this term will not be unfamiliar to anyone who has experienced the suffering of SARS.
White lung is not a disease name, but an X-ray imaging manifestation.
After normal inhalation, the lungs will expand like a balloon and fill up with gas in the alveoli. Such lungs appear black in X-ray images, just like the stomach appears black in X-rays after bloating.
Lungs that are not inhaled or that do not expand like an inflated balloon after the patient inhales will appear white instead of black on an X-ray, so it is commonly known as white lung in clinics.
The cause of white lung can be seen from the above symptoms, which is atelectasis, meaning that the lungs are not open.
In imaging, in addition to white lung, there are other manifestations of atelectasis that we may often hear doctors mention, such as ground-glass opacity, which is also an imaging image after the alveolar air content is reduced.
