How to take the baby out of the incubator When the baby meets the requirements of getting out of the incubator, it needs careful care. If there is any situation, go to the hospital for examination in time.
Neonatal incubator is a common equipment in neonatal department, which mainly simulates the environment of uterus and keeps the comfort of children, but it is not a complete treatment equipment. Some parents think that it is used to treat children through incubators, which is wrong.
In addition, the incubator can also maintain the normal body temperature of newborns and reduce heat loss. It can reduce the cross-infection between newborns and facilitate the placement of some instruments and some inspection operations of medical staff.
Some newborns who need to be put into the incubator include various infectious diseases of newborns, premature infants, low birth weight infants, various critically ill newborns and some newborns exposed to blue light. These are recommended to be treated in an incubator, which is conducive to the recovery of the child's condition.
Baby incubators are expensive, which may be different in different regions and hospitals. Calculated by the day, it varies from 500- 1000 yuan per day. At such a high cost, what kind of baby needs to enter the incubator? There are two main types of babies who need to enter the incubator: one is premature, because of its low body temperature, and its ability to regulate body temperature is not perfect; The second category is critically ill infants who need better care and observation.
"The most clinically needed incubator is premature infants. For example, premature babies born less than 25 weeks generally need to stay in the incubator for 10 weeks, the birth time reaches 35-36 weeks, the weight reaches 1.8-2.0kg, and the vital signs are stable before they can be discharged. "
Premature babies have very low resistance, so they should be placed in an incubator to avoid contact with the outside world. The air is free of dust and bacteria, which plays a role in protecting newborns.
Premature babies belong to a special group of newborns, and their organ function and adaptability are weaker than other babies. Their birth deserves special care and attention. In addition to giving more love and patience, novice mothers should pay more attention to the care of premature babies so that they can catch up with full-term babies. The method is as follows:
1, temperature: premature infants have delicate skin and fragile body. When premature infants can breastfeed themselves and ensure daily intake; It can maintain normal body temperature at the indoor temperature of 2 1-24℃; Weight gain 10-30 grams per day, reaching more than 2300 grams; No complications; You can leave the hospital without oxygen, anemia and other nutritional deficiencies.
2, pay attention to keep warm: premature babies should pay attention to the problem of keeping warm, but keeping warm does not mean that the child is tightly covered. In home care, the indoor temperature should be kept at 24-28℃ and the indoor relative humidity should be between 55% and 65%. If the indoor temperature can't reach, you can consider using a warm water bag to keep your child warm, but you must pay attention to safety. The baby's temperature should be kept at 36-37℃, and measured 1 time in the morning and evening. If the difference between the maximum body temperature and the minimum body temperature is 65438 0℃, corresponding measures should be taken to ensure the stability of the body temperature.
3, bathing: When the baby weighs less than 2.5 kg, do not take a bath, you can wipe the baby's neck, armpits, thigh roots and other wrinkles with cooking oil every 2-3 days. If you weigh more than 3 kg, you can take a bath like a healthy newborn by taking 100 ml each time. But in the cold season, pay attention to the indoor temperature and water temperature when taking a bath.
4, the skin should be cleaned frequently: many parents have misunderstandings. They think that premature babies are weak and afraid of catching a cold, so they should take fewer baths. In fact, premature babies have thin skin and are more susceptible to bacterial infection, so cleanliness is more important. The temperature in Guangdong is high. Even in winter, you can keep the room temperature by turning on the heating. Don't worry that the child will feel cold. Pay special attention to wrinkles when cleaning, and clean and dry your buttocks with clean water after changing diapers every time. Clean your mouth with cold boiled water to prevent oral infection.
5, careful feeding: premature babies need breastfeeding more. Because the milk of premature mothers contains more nutrients and amino acids than that of full-term infants, it can completely meet the nutritional needs of premature infants; Moreover, the milk of premature infants' mothers is more conducive to the digestion and absorption of premature infants, and can also improve the immune ability of premature infants, which plays a great role in fighting infection. Therefore, mothers must have confidence that their own milk is the most suitable for feeding their children, and must find ways to let their children breastfeed, or find ways to let their children breastfeed after discharge.
6, more touching and language communication, give children some love transmission: after the premature baby's condition is stable, you can start touching treatment. After a certain period of massage, the baby's milk quantity can be significantly increased, and the head circumference, body length, blood protein and weight have been significantly increased. Touching can bring many benefits to the growth of premature infants, and can be used as one of the comprehensive intervention measures for premature infants. Touch is passive movement, and skin contact can stimulate the development of tactile nerve and motor nerve, which is beneficial to brain development.
7. Prevention of infection: Except the person who takes care of the child (mother or grandmother), it is best not to let others into the premature baby's room, let alone show the child to foreign relatives and neighbors. People who take care of children should put on clean clothes (or special disinfection isolation gown) and wash their hands when breastfeeding or doing other things. Mother should wear a mask to breastfeed when she has a cold, and wash her hands with soap and hot water before breastfeeding to avoid cross infection.
