In Ukraine, many babies are born prematurely. Saving the child requires tremendous efforts of doctors and parents. And even more important in this process is modern equipment. It is very difficult to provide conditions close to the baby in utero. In mom's tummy warm, dark and quiet. Such conditions may partly provide resuscitation table for neonates with radiant heat lamp. The purpose of this project - the acquisition of such equipment for Rivne Oblast Children's Hospital.

Prematurely born children are extremely sensitive to temperature changes. Their skin is very thin and immature, but under the skin there is absolutely no fat basis that warms adults. These kids spend the first months of life in hospital. They are special couveuse where the temperature is regulated according to the needs of each baby. However, infants with a birth weight of 500 grams to 2000 grams require procedures and manipulations (measuring mass productions catheters, ultrasound, reviews). To do this, the child must move with comfort and warm conditions couveuse at room temperature. In the wards for premature babies temperature is higher than normal, but for these kids it's still cold. When it’s cold even nature dies, what to speak of immature baby ... Premature babies cooling can lead to disastrous consequences. At low temperatures such babies can stop breathing, their immature intestines can not digest food, reduced their physical activity, may even stop the heart! So created by nature: excludes all just to stay warm! For immature kids - a huge stress! A complete maturation of all organs and systems can only be in a comfortable environment.

And scientists with doctors have invented the best device - a lamp radiant heat that warms the effect of infrared irradiation child. The intensity of the heat can be adjusted based on the needs of each baby, even the smallest babies to be warmed. It is possible to control the body temperature of a child. This provides a stable body temperature of a child and it eliminates overheating even during a prolonged stay under the lamp. Doctors, of course, carry out the necessary procedures and manipulations and without the lamp, but the children can not be enough to strip objectively monitor their temperature and duration of the procedure if more than 5 minutes, it causes stress in infants.

The smallest babies from the branch of preterm infants toddlers hope for your help, because they needed so your warmth for normal growth and development. Give them the opportunity to fully develop! Maybe this heat warms your heart.
