According to information from the hospital, the baby's mother had a urinary tract infection and went into premature labor at only 27 weeks of gestation. The baby was born with severe respiratory distress and required immediate mechanical ventilation to survive.
Dr. Nguyen To Na, from Phuong Nam Hospital, said the baby was immediately transferred to the intensive care unit after stabilizing in the neonatal unit. However, the baby's lung condition worsened, requiring intubation with high mechanical ventilation parameters. "Fortunately, the baby received lung support medication early, less than 6 hours after birth (the golden time), so the medication worked optimally," Dr. To Na shared.
Throughout more than 50 days of treatment, the NICU team was on duty 24/7 to treat the primary illness and prevent common complications in premature infants such as infections, cerebral hemorrhage, and retinopathy.
The baby is now exclusively breastfed, with no signs of prematurity complications, and has normal retinal development (10/10). Weight, length, and head circumference are all within the normal range for a full-term baby. The baby has been transferred back to the inpatient ward for continued monitoring.
According to MSc-Dr. Nguyen To Na, extremely premature babies are very susceptible to dangerous complications such as respiratory failure, hypothermia, hemodynamic disturbances, etc., especially if they have to be transported over long distances. Therefore, early, professional intervention and intensive on-site care play a vital role in their survival.
