The breath of children is up to us

Almost every prematurely born child, which Vyazovaya in intensive care units, falls into the intensive care unit. Someone stays here for a few days, someone for a few weeks and some for months. All depends on the time of birth of the child and its weight. All children who are in intensive care, very often there are complications with the lungs, namely the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, which must be constantly addressed to avoid the inflammatory process.

For this there is special medical equipment – aspirators (hoods) and their availability often depends on the baby's life. Most very premature, the lungs are small and immature. They are long enough is auxiliary ventilation. We prefer to use the machines, which not only prevent the child to make their own respiratory movements, but also intensify them if they are very weak. Separate task – food. In the first days of life a small stomach can digest only a few milliliters of milk, so the nutrients are injected directly into the bloodstream via the hyperfine tubes.

In short, the path of development that the child had to go through in the womb, we help him to carry out artificially, simultaneously eliminating the factors that prevent extrauterine development. If the baby was born at the age of 22 weeks, it at least 14-18 weeks need nursing. But if it hurts, the healing process may take several months.

Modern suction help doctors to control the fluid from the nasal passages of the baby and is an indispensable equipment in the work. The purpose of this project was to find an aspirator in the maternity hospital of Chernihiv city Council. Help the doctors to save the lives of children by making your contribution to this project!
