Chapter 1986: [1986] Not breathing?
Thinking of this, the medical staff felt more and more pity for this child who was born without a mother. Xie Wanying hugged the baby carefully, holding the child's small head and neck with one hand, and supporting the child's small buttocks with the other hand.
The weight of a premature baby is generally less than five pounds. Today, this baby is only about four and a half pounds. With a small head circumference, it is a miniature baby that is a little smaller than a normal fetus. The medical staff can feel that this baby is as light as a little angel with wings, and if it wants to fly to heaven at any time. The doctor's heart can only be fearful, and various actions are like walking on thin ice.
Several medical staff surrounded the small table where the child was lying, busy with the need to let the child breathe smoothly first.
Gently beat the little feet of the child.
took a lot of shots, but the child didn't move.
Take various tools, try to carefully clean up the debris in the child's small mouth and nose, and check whether there is amniotic fluid or mucus in the little child's small nostrils and mouth to block the airway.
Cleaned it over and over again, the doctor's cleanliness skills were all used up.
The medical staff were so busy that they were sweating profusely, and every breath was hot.
This is about to be so anxious.
worked hard for a long time to save this little life, and the effect was quite mediocre.
It can only be said that the child's condition is relatively serious, and here is a primary health center without special rescue drugs and equipment for neonatology, and the doctor is a clever woman.
"It is estimated that the problem of hyaline membrane lung." Dr. Hu said. She, who did not participate in the rescue, carefully listened to other people's data reports and made a professional judgment: "I didn't have time to give the mother a lung booster before, so this is an expected result."
These words are to comfort all the medical staff present and participate in the rescue, don’t be disappointed and frustrated by this. Since it was expected, it means that this little life can still be saved.
Lung-stimulating acupuncture refers to a drug that is medically injected into the mother when the fetus is forced to leave the mother's body before full-term delivery. The purpose is to promote the development of the fetus, ripen the lungs of the fetus, and prevent the newborn 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 word will not be unfamiliar to anyone who has experienced the ordeal of SARS later.
White lung is not a disease name, but an X-ray imaging manifestation.
After normal inhalation, the lungs will open up like a balloon and fill with gas in the alveoli. Such lungs are black in the X-ray image. For example, after flatulence, the x-ray is also black.
If there is no inhalation or the patient does not have the lungs open like an inflatable balloon after inhalation, the image displayed under the x-ray is not black, but white. Therefore, it is commonly known as white lung in clinical practice.
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, in addition to white lung, there are other words that we may often hear from doctors, such as ground glass lesions, which are also imaging images after alveolar air volume is reduced.
