Complications that babies born one month prematurely are prone to

Some families do not take the baby too seriously when it is born one month prematurely, thinking that it will not cause much harm to their child's health. In fact, this idea is wrong, because premature babies are particularly prone to complications. So what are the complications that premature babies are prone to one month? Let's take a look at the detailed answers below.

1. Clinical manifestations include cyanosis, apnea, drowsiness, convulsions, screaming, muscle weakness and abnormal eye movements.

2. This disease mainly occurs in newborns and newborns delivered by cesarean section. The lower the maturity, the higher the incidence of this disease.

3. It is related to hypoproteinemia, hypoxia, hypoglycemia, infection, etc., especially due to the lack of glucuronyl convertase in the liver, which leads to the poor function of forming excretable conjugated bilirubin.

4. About 7% of premature infants develop intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) or periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), while the incidence rate reaches 50%.

5. Anemia is often present. Due to insufficient iron storage in premature infants, serum iron levels drop sharply after one month after birth. Development is too fast, requiring increased blood volume, but the hematopoietic function is poor and cannot keep up with the rate of weight gain.

6. Less storage of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. The ability to absorb fat and fat-soluble vitamins is poor. Due to rapid growth

Premature babies

For premature infants, the normal supply of calcium and phosphorus often cannot meet their needs.

7. Premature infants are susceptible to scleredema due to poor temperature regulation, relatively large body surface area, thin skin, abundant blood vessels, easy heat dissipation, and small amount of brown fat.

8. Inhaling high concentrations of oxygen can cause the arterial oxygen tension to rise above 13.3 kPa (10 mmHg), causing spasms in the retinal blood vessels, leading to retinal ischemia and damage, causing fibrous tissue proliferation and blindness. When oxygen must be used for premature infants, attention should be paid to the appropriate oxygen concentration and duration of oxygen use.

The above is a comprehensive introduction to the complications that babies are prone to when they are born one month prematurely. Therefore, families with babies born one month prematurely must have a detailed understanding and knowledge of the complications introduced above. Only in this way can they pay more attention to the possibility of these complications in normal times. Only in this way can they protect their children, have fewer complications, and grow up healthily.
