Since December 2019, the number of new coronavirus infections in China has continued to increase. From February 5th to 6th, 2020, China has reported three confirmed cases of neonatal infections. The immature development of the newborn's autoimmune function has further worried the newborn parents. What can we do with the coronavirus?
The biggest difference between the coronavirus infection and the common cold and the common cold:
It is found that breathing gradually becomes difficult, such as breathing too fast or too slow, too deep or too shallow Infants or newborns showed open mouth breathing, wheezing, moaning, nostril instigation, nodded breathing, and even appeared three concave signs of lips and complexion changing breathing. Seeing the above symptoms, you need to see a doctor immediately!
This shows that the newborn's breathing problem needs special attention!
Now a days labs uses intelligent optical fiber sensing technology to monitor the baby's real-time breathing frequency. When the baby's breathing frequency is too high or low, the smart mattress and the bound APP will send an alarm reminder. In addition, it also provide sound and temperature reports of the baby's sleeping environment. Make newborn parents aware of newborn breathing problems earlier!
Department of Neonatal Medicine, chief physician and administrative director of the Department of Neonatal Medicine, two experts pointed out that newborns themselves are a special group of immunocompromised people. Many of their characteristics are different from infants and older children More different from adults. Novice parents who are new mothers and fathers do not need anxiety and panic, and effectively protect their newborn babies.
The duration of this war without smoke is still uncertain. For newborn babies, the psychological status of parents, especially caregivers, is equally important for epidemic prevention and control
On February 26, a 9-month-old baby in USA was diagnosed with coronavirus pneumonia. It can be seen that for the coronavirus pneumonia, children are not uncomfortable, infants and young children are at high risk of respiratory infections! But there is no need to panic. Next, let us understand how to carry out correct and effective neonatal protection?
Contact transmission and droplet transmission, hospital acquired infection.
Contact transmission and droplet transmission, hospital acquired infection.
The clinical manifestations of neonates, especially premature infants, lack specificity and may not cause fever. Once there is an epidemiological history, poor mental response, poor milk intake, and repeated vomiting should be promptly sought after.
After the delivery, the doctor should conduct a timely health assessment of the born baby. Newborns who are generally in good condition should be taken home immediately. They should be separated for at least 14 days at home. It is best for the mother not to contact the baby. Consider breastfeeding after the mother is cured; Less then 34 weeks of premature babies or abnormal children after birth need to enter the isolation ward for isolation, and carry out necessary inspections and etiological sampling, pathogen analysis and corresponding treatment.
It is not sure whether the newborn will be infected or become a source of infection. Prevention and control measures should be taken during house isolation: isolation in a single room, minimization of caregivers, regular window opening in the room (30 minutes), washing hands frequently, Disinfect the objects (high temperature or 75% alcohol) etc. Observe closely the changes of the newborn's body temperature, milking, breathing, jaundice, etc.
If the newborn has no history of contact, no special discomfort, no routine investigation is required, and normal newborn care is required.
