Baby's life under control

Every 15th baby in the country is born prematurely. Even babies born at term often cause their parents to be very concerned about their health. What can we say about those babies who hastened to "go out" ahead of schedule. Premature babies are the most vulnerable babies that depend on the professionalism of doctors and hospital equipment. Their whole life depends on medical equipment. And because of the underfunding of hospitals, doctors simply have their hands tied and they cannot save the lives of children. The goal of our project is to help premature babies survive!

Like all other systems in the body of a premature baby, the cardiovascular system is imperfect. Special attention is required for heart readings, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. help provided at the wrong time can cost a child's life! To prevent complications and save the lives of babies in a timely manner, doctors should use the pulse oximetry method, which allows timely detection of such a dangerous condition as hypoxia (lack of oxygen in the blood, which can cause the death of a child).

A pulse oximeter is a modern diagnostic medical device designed to measure the saturation of hemoglobin in arterial capillary blood with oxygen (saturation). The cardiovascular system and the lungs of the baby are constantly working with one goal - to saturate the arterial blood with oxygen.Premature babies have a chronic lack of oxygen, in which this indicator requires constant monitoring and reliable data, non-receipt of which significantly complicates treatment and can cost lives.

The pulse oximeter is today an indispensable device for performing both a single measurement and for long-term monitoring (constant monitoring) of the saturation level and heart rate (pulse). The data acquisition method is non-invasive (it does not require blood sampling for research), so the pulse oximeter measures the required values ​​quickly, making the task of a neonatologist easier. The advantage of pulse oximetry is that there is no need to take blood from the arteries for the study (which helps not to injure the baby). In addition, the pulse oximeter allows you to receive and process the data displayed on the device display. If there is a danger and the level of oxygen in the blood falls, the device immediately signals the danger and the doctor is in a hurry to save life.

The pulse oximeter, which we dream to acquire in Chernihiv maternity hospital, has a convenient monitor, uninterrupted operation (even when the light is turned off, the battery turns on. This is simply an indispensable device for nursing premature babies!

Help us save the lives of hundreds of babies born in Chernihiv maternity hospital! And maybe these crumbs will become future artists, rescuers, policemen and philosophers.
