Babies and Parents

The premature baby are the risks arising from a lack of maturity of some organs are therefore not work well or are exposed to external aggression.

The problems of this baby are focused on the difficulty of adapting to the environment extrauterine by their immaturity and low weight. The smaller and immature, the greater the risk of diseases of the baby.

The respiratory, nervous, digestive, renal, immune and vision may be involved. The respiratory system is one of the most affected. Respiratory distress syndrome occurs as a consequence of the lack of surfactant protein that is responsible for the pulmonary alveoli are elastic and remain inflated or expanded.

In some cases totally re requires assisted breathing. This problem is also known as syndrome of respiratory distress syndrome. Basically the baby can not expand your lungs and breathe on its own. He should be given artificial surfactant and respiratory support with special equipment.

Premature babies do not have the pace to breathe properly and may have prolonged cessation of breathing (apnea) associated with cardiac arrest, so it is appropriate to encourage them by massaging the soles of the feet when they make these stops.

It is better not live with pets. We must also clean up your room with a water aspirator and not use any chemicals. Remember to ventilate the room at least 20 minutes when the baby is not in it. At home we have to take extreme measures of hygiene, avoid sudden temperature changes, monitor the food and weight and also avoid contact with many people who can carry germs that affect the baby.

Another problem that can affect premature baby is the persistence of the ductus arteriosus, which is responsible for oxygenating the blood of the fetus within the yolk sac. If this duct does not close at birth, the blood that passes through the lungs of the baby alone in a party and other party but without the duct and the placenta to take oxygenated blood and this results in a newborn cardiac overload. This is diagnosed by echocardiography.
