Seven keys to caring for premature infants

release time:2022-01-18|reading:

一、 Maintain an appropriate ambient temperature


Preterm infants have poor heat production capacity, and their body temperature is easy to change with the constant change of ambient temperature. Moderate ambient temperature can enable premature infants to maintain an ideal body temperature. The indoor temperature control of premature infants should generally be maintained at 24-26 ℃, and the humidity should be maintained at 70-80%.


Premature infants with hypothermia or weight obviously lower than 2000g should be put into the incubator immediately.

二、 Keep comfortable position


The head of premature infants should be tilted to one side to make oral mucus flow out, and avoid suffocation caused by mucus inhalation or vomit into the trachea.


For premature infants with gastroesophageal reflux, it is better to lie prone to promote gastric emptying, shorten the time for milk to stay in the stomach and reduce abdominal distension.


Comfortable posture can promote preterm infants' self pacification and self behavior control, which is beneficial to preterm infants' neurobehavioral development.


Use towels or sheets to make bedding for premature infants. The feet of premature infants can touch clothes, the hands can touch towels and sheets, and the edges of towels and sheets can be felt, with a sense of security.


三、 Careful feeding


Due to the different maturity of premature infants, different feeding methods can be adopted.


Breastfeeding is strongly advocated. For infants with normal or slightly poor suction, the feeding speed should be slow to avoid choking or suffocation.


For premature infants with poor sucking ability, unable to suck but with swallowing function, milk drops can be dropped into the mouth of premature infants.


For children without swallowing ability, they should stay in the hospital for gastric tube feeding, that is, a latex gastric tube is inserted into the mouth of the child, and milk is directly injected into the stomach with a syringe.


四、 Reduce the stimulation of noise


Noise has many side effects on the brain development of premature infants.


We should try our best to create a quiet environment, such as speaking quietly and lowering the volume, especially when approaching premature infants.


It is best not to talk in the premature baby incubator or beside the bed.


Mom and Dad should be gentle when moving, and try to avoid wearing shoes that are easy to make noise;


The voice of the monitor and telephone is set at the minimum volume, and the monitor alarm is responded in time;


Do not touch the door of the heater forcibly to avoid knocking on the heater.


五、 Reduce the stimulation of light


Light has a great impact on the brain development of premature infants. Light stimulation can increase the probability of retinopathy of premature infants. Growth and development are slow. Continuous radiation can cause changes in the circadian rhythm of premature infants and inability to sleep.


Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the stimulation of light on premature infants, such as pulling the curtains to avoid exposure to sunlight and reducing the indoor light of buildings;


The use of a hood on the incubator creates a dark environment similar to that in the womb;


At least 3-5 hours of dim lighting shall be guaranteed to complete within 24 hours to ensure good sleep.


六、 Prevention of infection


Due to the low immune function of premature infants, they are prone to infection, so it is very important to actively prevent infection in home care.


When you breastfeed or do other things, change into clean clothes and wash your hands.


When Baoma has a cold, she should wear a mask when feeding, and remember to wash her hands with soap and hot water before breastfeeding to avoid cross infection.


Try to avoid outsiders entering the baby's room, and do not hold the baby to show it to friends and relatives.


Patients with cold, diarrhea, tracheitis and skin diseases should avoid approaching premature infants.


The clothes, diapers and milk bottles of premature infants should be boiled and sterilized regularly. The living room should open the window regularly for ventilation to ensure fresh air.


七、 Good touch


Research has proved that many premature infants will become restless, inattentive, uncoordinated, timid, shy, irritable and irritable when they grow up;


These children often have poor social skills, lack of self-confidence and are prone to depression.


Of course, parents should not worry too much. As long as they can provide good emotional comfort and psychological guidance to their children, their congenital deficiencies can be remedied through the efforts of the day after tomorrow.


Preterm infants come to the world ahead of time when their mothers are not fully developed. The parents should give them more necessary physical stimulation to promote the development of their physical functions.


Touch is an intimate contact that babies need very much. It helps regulate the nervous, endocrine and immune systems, increase the tension of the vagus nerve, promote the secretion of gastrin and insulin, reduce children's anxiety, and increase sleep time and milk output.


Touch gently and observe the child's reaction.
