Premature (child)
This is a newborn whose birth weight
is less than 2500 grams.
Which includes:
- Pregnancies too short
- Abnormal pregnancies that resulted
in a delay in fetal development.
CHARACTER OF PREMATURE
In addition to its lower than normal
weight:
- The skin is red, spindly limbs,
very open fontanelles
- Breathing is rapid and shallow,
thus cyanosis (bluish tint) is common
- The abdomen is large, soft
- The fatty subcutaneous tissue
missing
- The heart is fast
- There is a tendency to hypothermia
(low temperature)
- The chest is narrow and depressed
with each breath
- The cry is weak or absent
- Gastric capacity is low
- Liver ensures evil glycogen
storage and constant hepatic jaundice resulting immaturity
- The kidney is functionally
inadequate and edema occur reflecting the failure
- Neurological immaturity is clear,
there is an abnormality of the primitive reflexes, this immaturity is
responsible for disturbances of respiratory ventilation, swallowing disorders,
absence or poverty of movement and poor temperature regulation
- The vessels are fragile and poor
blood clotting exposed to cérabro-meningeal hemorrhage in particular.
MONITORING AND
BREEDING OF PREMATURE
- Can not be conceived in a
specialized environment
- You have an aseptic environment at
a constant temperature, constant oxygenation and monitored
- Need one for her digestive
immaturity, ten to twelve meals a day, by gastric gavage in general and
preferably with breast milk supply that will supplement of vitamins C, D and K
- It will monitor biological
parameters: blood glucose (sugar dosage in the blood), free bilirubin,
chlorine, sodium, potassium, calcium, blood pH, blood pressure, oxygen and
carbon dioxide.
This particular watch is in an
incubator where care is performed in a sterile manner, through windows formed
on the transparent walls of the incubator.
Many alarms are connected to check
heart function, breathing newborn and check oxygenation, humidification and
temperature prevailing inside the incubator.
THE FUTURE OF PREMATURE
It depends on the weight and the
cause of prematurity.
However, often around the age of two
years, nothing distinguishes a premature a topic that has not been.
