To the babes were breathing. Vinnitsa

According to the current definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), a preterm child born at term of gestation up to 37 full weeks and having all the signs of underdevelopment of organs is considered premature. In the case of the significant immaturity of vital newborn systems, he immediately after birth falls into the department of children's intensive care.

Here the kids lie in special couveuse, closed with transparent caps with four holes - two on each side (for medical manipulations). All couveuse are equipped with artificial ventilation devices. Children who lack or have a weakly expressed sucking reflex receive food the first few weeks (optimally - warmed-up mother's milk, sometimes with specially selected supplements) through the nasogastric tube. A constant temperature is maintained in the couveuse (the danger is not only supercooling but also overheating) and air humidity (about 60%), so that the child does not dry out the mucous membranes. Sometimes couveuse are equipped with water mattresses, which bring the conditions to stay in the amniotic fluid. With the help of numerous tubes and wires, the child is connected to monitors, droppers and other devices that control his pulse, temperature, and breathing, which regularly conducts blood tests, introduces necessary medicines and performs many other important functions.

If the indicators recorded by these devices dangerously deviate from the norm, an alarm is issued. Resuscitative procedures are not limited to artificial ventilation and feeding food through the probe. Children born prematurely are at risk of developing various complications, most of which, with the modern development of neonatal resuscitation, can be prevented or cured.

Medical aspiration is one of the indispensable devices that is used in children's intensive care. It is intended for the removal during the treatment of particles of tissues, liquids, and gases. It can be used to suck secret from a lung baby.
