China News Service, Hangzhou, May 10 (Reporter Zhang Yuhuan) In a green sick area of ​​50 to 60 square meters, dozens of thermal insulation equipment are placed on both sides. Under the cartoon bedspread, lying in the transparent box are fragile babies whose heads are only the size of a fist, and they do not cry or make trouble. Only the numbers on the side of the vital signs jumped, demonstrating the unyielding vitality of this group of little guys.

  "Oh, obedient, clean and handsome handsome prince immediately." Nurse Ding Huanhuan, who is on duty, skillfully opened the warming equipment, calming it softly while nursing the baby with the gentlest movements.

  On this Mother's Day, the reporter walked into the neonatal intensive care unit of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and saw the "temporary mother" of the newborn.

  "There are premature babies who come to the world at a gestational age of 24 weeks, and there are" pocket babies "who are only 550 grams born ... Over the years, I have experienced countless times from the life-threatening state of the baby's life supported by the ventilator to the return to health Parents embrace. "Ding Huanhuan said," I think this is a miracle of love. "

The solid "backing" of the delivery room

  There are 40 beds in the neonatal intensive care unit. The reporter saw that the atmosphere in the ward was quiet, but Ding Huanhuan said that as long as the newborn was found to have bad conditions in the operating room of the delivery room, he would immediately transfer it to here. That was the moment of chaos.

  "It can be said that the neonatal intensive care unit is the most solid backing of the delivery room and the operating room." Ding Huanhuan said.

  Here, monitoring of signs, observation of the condition, feeding of newborns, wiping baths of newborns, oral and umbilical buttock care, monitoring of blood sugar and percutaneous bilirubin are the most basic nursing operations.

  The most basic operation also has the most professional requirements.

  Such as a simple observation of the condition. Most of the newborns in the intensive care unit rely on the support of the ventilator, and the nurse must be "frightened" by the ventilator.

  "When the ventilator alarms, it must be identified whether it is caused by problems such as bending of the ventilator tube or the accumulation of water, the child is crying and irritable, or the child's condition changes." Ding Huanhuan said that this cannot be recognized by the machine itself. It is the experience accumulated over the years.

  The condition of newborns changes rapidly, and if there is no "fire eye gold eyes", the best opportunity for rescue will be missed.

  "I have cared for an anemia premature baby before the day shift. There is no abnormality in the day shift. In the middle shift, it is very difficult to comfort after the blood transfusion. The oxygen saturation fluctuates gradually. Fortunately, timely measures are taken to avoid more serious complications. Dangerous strangulation is in its infancy. "

  For example, when a neonate is treated after asphyxia, sometimes mild hypothermia treatment is required. Ding Huanhuan said that the newborn may have an irritated or suppressed state. "At this time, we not only need to take care of hypothermia in time, and reduce the anal temperature to the target temperature. It is also necessary to observe vital signs, consciousness and skin circulation in time, especially the heart rate, to prevent cardiac arrest. "

  She said that if the newborn is seriously ill, the nurse on duty will not even have a chance to get a butt on the stool.

  "When I go to night shift, my spirits are often in a state of high tension. When the next shift comes to take over, I feel that I have only one last breath hanging, and I can 'sleep' on the pillow."

Every life is a miracle

  For the intensive care unit, the most common treatment is premature infants.

  Ding Huanhuan said that the department treats about 350 very low birth weight babies every year, of which there are 80 to 100 “ultra low birth weight babies” with a weight of less than 1,000 grams.

  Just in September last year, I received a premature baby with a gestational age of only 24 weeks + 2 days and a weight of 710 grams.

  "Hanghang is about the size of an adult's slap. Its limbs are as thin as an adult's finger, and the skin is almost transparent." Ding Huanhuan said, the puncture needle is thicker than the blood vessel.

  "Fortunately, after more than 140 days and nights of careful treatment and care, in February of this year, Hangzhou and Hangzhou experienced various difficulties such as breathing, infection, and feeding. All vital signs were stable, and the weight was 4,750 grams, which reached the discharge standard." Ding Huanhuan Say.

  In fact, every baby has his own miracle behind it.

  What impressed Ding Huanhuan was another newborn with a gestational age of only 26 weeks.

  "After her premature delivery, her lungs were in poor condition. The ventilator failed to withdraw the machine several times at the beginning. This was a bad sign. But her mother was very optimistic and always believed in us. She would visit her baby every time. Put a label on the breast milk bag and write down your gratitude to the medical staff and encouragement to the baby. "Ding Huanhuan said," Unexpectedly, the baby really returned to health after staying in the hospital for more than 180 days. This is the power of life. "

This "mother love" has a long way to go

  Ding Huanhuan has been engaged in clinical nursing for nearly eight years, from an ordinary small nurse, to the instructor's general guidance, and then to the responsible team leader.

  "When I graduated, I remember my parents telling me that the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital is a good choice because it is the most delightful place in the hospital and full of hope." Ding Huanhuan said.

  It is no exaggeration to say that she and the nurses here regard all newborns as their own children. Previously, with the support of leaders, she planned and organized an event of "premature babies returning to their natal families" every two years.

  "At that time, the dying little life, from slowly withdrawing the aircraft to being able to breastfeed, to having an expression, vocalization, and turning ... This change is too surprising, and this is the reason I insisted on."

  Since 2016, Ding Huanhuan has also participated in the planning and organization of a breast milk bank with the support of leaders.

  "Breast milk is liquid gold, which can reduce the incidence of many diseases." Ding Huanhuan said, "Our breast milk bank contains not only the breast milk of the baby's mother, but also the breast milk donated by volunteer mothers. In the past, many mothers were unable to give birth to newborns for various reasons. The baby provides breast milk, and the breast milk bank has helped them solve this problem. "

  Standing in front of the exhibition board of "Premature Baby Going Back to His Mother's House", Ding Huanhuan proudly introduced one miracle after another in the department. "There is a long way to go in the future," she said. "We will stick to it no matter how tired we are. It's a nurse's responsibility, and it's even more enduring." (End)
