It costs a lot of money to live in an incubator for premature babies. What's so special about this box? You got it?

Pregnancy is a happy thing, but before the birth of the child, parents' hearts are hanging, and they are not sure whether the fetus will develop healthily in the next ten months. Although this probability is very low, once it happens, it may threaten the life safety of mother and fetus.

Fortunately, the medical level is constantly improving, and even if there is an accident, it can be treated to the maximum extent. There used to be an old saying that "seven lives and eight lives are not", which means that children can live when they are born in seven months, but they can't live when they are born in eight months.

Compared with the past, with the advanced technology of "incubator", even if the child is premature, there is still hope of being rescued.

Lily was pregnant for more than 4 months and had an accident during the prenatal examination. For lily's personal safety, she needs an operation as soon as possible. But the fetus in the belly is only nearly 5 months old. You just give up?

After repeated confirmation with the doctor, I finally decided to give birth to the child in advance and let the child continue to develop in the incubator.

Half a year has passed in an instant. Lily's operation was very successful and she recovered well after operation. The child developed healthily in the incubator for 6 months. Although it can't be compared with growing up in the mother's womb, it is a miracle that a five-month-old child can survive.

When leaving the hospital, the child's living expenses in the incubator were as high as one million yuan. Fortunately, Lily's husband's economy is relatively good, and children may not have it in ordinary families.

I believe everyone has heard of the incubator, which can be said to be a life-saving box for premature babies. Why can premature babies be put in an incubator to help their bodies recover? Why is the cost so high? Get to know each other.

Working principle of incubator: In the hospital, incubator is also called baby incubator. I believe everyone can know its function from its name. Mainly to keep the newborn warm, and make the incubator transparent for easy detection and observation.

Although the expression seems simple, the actual function is very complicated. For example, keep the temperature and humidity constant to block noise and bacteria. Premature babies are put directly into the incubator after birth and will not leave the incubator until they leave healthily.

So all kinds of tests, such as blue light treatment of jaundice, taking pictures of children and so on. It is all done in the incubator, including monitoring the child's heartbeat, breathing and body temperature. These functions together form an incubator.

It is precisely because of its many functions that the incubator charges more. Because the function of the incubator is to save the child's life, that is to say, the longer the child lives in it, the more serious the child's problem will be.

If the child has no major problems to be treated, the daily cost is about 1000 yuan. Of course, it will fluctuate according to the region, the size of the hospital and the old and new equipment. Generally speaking, the price is still relatively high, but these are not important compared with the child's life.

Broadly speaking, premature babies should live in incubators. The so-called premature baby refers to a child born before the estimated expected date of delivery.

However, the development process of each child is different, even if it is premature at the same time, there will be different development conditions. Therefore, we will further decide whether to live in an incubator according to the physical condition of the fetus.

For example, if you are sick after birth, have developmental problems or have congenital diseases, you must live in an incubator. If the body develops normally and the delivery is advanced, there is no need to live in an incubator.

Conclusion:

Pregnant mothers should not be under too much pressure, and the probability of problems in their children's development is still relatively small. Now the medical level is constantly improving, and many problems can be found in advance, early detection and early treatment.
