Sequelae of 32-week premature infants
Premature delivery will cause brain retardation, which will lead to his low IQ and poor social skills. Because the brain is immature, it may also cause cerebral palsy and affect IQ. This is a common problem left over from the early postpartum period. It is also easy to be infected with lung-related diseases, and some diseases can't even be rid of for a lifetime. In addition, his breathing will also have problems, such as sudden cessation of breathing in infancy, which is the most common sequela of premature delivery.
If it is immature, it is vulnerable to bacterial infection. The growth of bacteria in the intestine will lead to the rupture of the intestine, and then the bacteria will run to other parts of the baby's body, which may lead to the death of the baby. There will also be great problems in the eyes, such as cataracts, skin redness and ulcers, and there are fewer problems.
There are many sequelae of premature delivery, which is very harmful to premature infants. Babies born between the 28th week and the 33rd week are unlikely to have these sequelae. Then, if the baby is born at or after the 34th week, there will be fewer problems. Premature infants have poor thermoregulation function, relatively large body surface area, thin skin, rich blood vessels, easy heat dissipation and less brown fat, and are prone to scleredema.
What about premature infants with pulmonary hypoplasia?
Children come into this world early for various reasons and are called premature babies. Premature infants are not as good as full-term infants, so it is more dangerous for premature infants to come to this world than full-term infants. If children come into this world prematurely, they should first enter the incubator of the hospital and be treated for a period of time before leaving the hospital. What should I do if the indicators of premature infants are normal? You can use a ventilator to help you breathe at first, and then breathe spontaneously according to your recovery. This should be done according to the doctor's advice.
First, premature infants have poor respiratory function due to incomplete respiratory development. You're talking about being purple all over, and you need to be treated in the neonatal ward of a professional obstetric hospital, preferably in an intensive care unit. It can be treated, but the cost will be slightly higher.
Second, there are two possibilities. First, with the growth of age, plus drug treatment and careful nursing, it is completely possible to cure, without sequelae, life-threatening, and will not affect future life. However, I still have to go to a professional children's hospital for expert treatment. The second is to leave a little sequela, you can't exercise vigorously all your life, and you may have to take medicine often. The first possibility is very high. But it will not affect life.
Third, although the baby is born, the organs are still growing. As long as there are no lesions in the lungs, in principle, they will develop well on their own. But be careful not to have pneumonia and other lesions.
Fourthly, the lung function of premature infants is not fully developed, and oxygen therapy can promote alveolar maturation in hospitals. It is recommended to stay in the hospital for a period of time, because all aspects of the hospital facilities are relatively complete. Wait until the child is more developed.
Premature children will not affect other aspects as long as they survive the critical period. Premature children just come into this world earlier than full-term children, and they will be smaller at first. Over time, premature babies will not be smaller than full-term babies. Children born prematurely may have poor physical resistance in infancy or childhood, but not when they grow up. The most important thing is that premature children should be treated immediately and take measures to make them grow up healthily.
Definition of premature infants
A live-born baby born before the gestational age of 37 weeks is called premature or immature. Its birth weight is mostly below 2500 grams, and its head circumference is below 33 cm. If the organ function and adaptability are worse than that of full-term infants, special care should be given. Infants whose birth weight is lower than the 10 percentile of normal weight for gestational age or two standard deviations lower than the average due to placental insufficiency and other factors are called small-sized infants (small-sized infants, immature infants). Those whose birth weight is less than 2500g are collectively called low birth weight infants, and those whose birth weight is less than 1500g are called very low birth weight infants, including premature infants and infants younger than gestational age.
Prevention of premature infants
1. Premature delivery is the main cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, and most of the causes leading to premature delivery are maternal factors, most of which can be prevented by health care during pregnancy except congenital reproductive malformation.
2. Attention should be paid to prenatal examination, especially early and appropriate perinatal care for high-risk groups. For example, prevent and treat pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, reduce the incidence of early placental abruption, treat placenta previa as soon as possible, and correct anemia. For pregnant women with heart disease, it is necessary to strengthen management, popularize common sense of health care during pregnancy, and take preventive measures such as avoiding infection.
3. Use labor relaxation to block premature delivery, and provide enough time to use glucocorticoid to promote lung maturity before delivery.
The above is an introduction to the definition of premature infants. After understanding, we know that those born before 37 weeks of pregnancy belong to premature babies. Generally speaking, the weight of premature infants is relatively low, and the organs of various parts of the body are not fully developed. Therefore, mothers must pay special attention throughout pregnancy. First, they must have more rest. In addition, they must ensure a balanced diet and nutrition. Later, we should also go to the hospital regularly for prenatal examination.
