Chapter 1986 [1986] Not Breathing?
You must know that this baby stayed in the mother's womb for less than thirty-seven weeks and only thirty-five weeks. It is a pure premature baby and should not have been born. The baby's early appearance at this moment is all due to the fact that mom and dad are going to have dinner at other friends' houses tonight, so they never expected that something unexpected would happen on the way home happily. Since then, this happy little family was completely ruined by a drunk van driver.
Thinking of this, the medical staff felt even more pity for this child who was born without a mother. Xie Wanying held the baby carefully, with one hand firmly hugging the child's small head and neck, and the other hand supporting the child's small buttocks, which can be described as extremely attentive.
The weight of premature babies is generally less than five catties, but this baby is only about four and a half catties, with a small head circumference, which is a miniature version of the baby a circle smaller than normal fetuses. The medical staff could feel that the baby was as light as a little angel with wings, and if it was going to fly to heaven at any time. The doctor's heart can only be in fear, and all kinds of actions are like walking on eggshells.
Several medical staff surrounded the small table where the child was lying, busy to let the child breathe smoothly first.
Gently slap the child's little feet.
After taking many shots, the child didn't move.
Take various tools and try to carefully clean up the sundries in the child's small mouth and nose, and check whether there is amniotic fluid and mucus in the small baby's small nostrils and mouth blocking the airway.
After cleaning it again and again, the doctor's cleanliness kung fu has been exhausted.
The medical staff were so busy that they were all sweating profusely, and every breath was hot.
This is almost too anxious.
It took a long time to save this little life, but the effect was quite mediocre.
It can only be said that the child's condition is relatively serious, and here is a basic health center without neonatology special rescue drugs and equipment, and the doctors are so clever that it is difficult for them to cook without rice.
"It's probably a problem with the hyaline membrane lung," Dr. Hu said. She, who did not participate in the rescue, made a professional judgment after carefully listening to other people's data reports: "I didn't have time to give the mother a lung-promoting acupuncture before, so this is an expected result."
This remark is to comfort all the medical staff involved in the rescue, not to be disappointed and frustrated by this. Since it was expected, it means that this little life can still be saved.
Lung-promoting acupuncture refers to the medicine 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 fetus's lungs, and prevent newborns from suffering from hyaline membrane disease.
Neonatal hyaline membrane disease, which is commonly referred to as white lung by clinical doctors.
When it comes to white lung, this term will not be unfamiliar to anyone who has experienced the hardships 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 the alveoli will be filled with gas. Such lungs are black under X-ray images. For example, after flatulence, X-ray is also black.
If there is no inhalation or the lungs are not opened like an inflated balloon after the patient inhales, the image displayed under X-ray is not black but white. Therefore, it is commonly called white lung clinically.
The cause of white lung can be seen from the above symptoms, that is, atelectasis, which means that the lungs are not opened.
In imaging, besides white lung, there are other words that we may often hear doctors say, such as ground-glass lesions, which are also imaging images of reduced alveolar gas content.
