Body temperature is an important factor for all bodily functions and a human body maintains it by burning body fat, in this case as the baby’s weight was below normal even for a preterm, the body temperature had to be maintained by an external heat source such as an incubator. Various other important aspects such as immature immune system, jaundice, fluctuating blood sugar and electrolytes levels were managed successfully.
After overcoming all these, the baby was graduated to the most recent development in the new born care the “Kangaroo Mother Care” where in the parents started spending more then 6 hours a day with baby, which strengthened the emotional bonding between parents and baby. Even the father was encouraged to provide kangaroo care and in one such session overwhelmed with the baby’s progress the father named the baby “CHINMAYEE”, thus was born the blessed one giving hope and confidence to many preterm babies.
For those who are interested in numbers, as per WHO, India contributes about 60% of World’s premature births. All births below 37 weeks are premature and the births which happen between 24 to 27 weeks are considered on the extreme side of premature births. Today with the advent of modren medical science and hitech infrastructure coupled with skilled nursing staff and highly dedicated team of doctors which are in the reach of a common man, we at CMH have been able to handle such high risk pregnancies and give hope to new mothers such as Mrs Usha rani.
