Management of preterm birth of test tube infants
IVF refers to the babies born after in vitro fertilization and culture to a certain stage of development through assisted reproductive technology, and then transfer the embryos to the mother's womb for development. However, for various reasons, some IVF babies may be premature. Premature infants are not fully developed and need special care and treatment. The following will discuss the treatment of IVF preterm delivery in detail from four aspects: pre pregnancy care, fetal protection, medical intervention and rehabilitation care.
Pre pregnancy care
Pre pregnancy care is very important for the development and health of IVF. Couples should actively participate in physical examination, complete gene testing, and receive professional advice and guidance before preparing for IVF. If the woman has risk factors for premature delivery, such as uterine malformation, cervical dysfunction, etc., active measures should be taken for treatment or surgical repair to improve the ability to resist premature delivery.
In addition, psychological, nutrition and health management before pregnancy should not be ignored. Couples should keep a good attitude, relax and reduce stress. In terms of diet, pay attention to reasonable nutrition, and take enough vitamins, minerals and protein. At the same time, avoid overwork and physical discomfort, and maintain good living habits.
Fetal protection
After IVF preterm birth, fetal protection is very important. The medical staff should pay close attention to the respiratory, temperature, nutrition intake and other indicators of premature infants, and take corresponding intervention measures. Treatment methods for fetal protection mainly include:
1. Respiratory support: The respiratory system of premature infants is not fully developed, and they often need auxiliary ventilation or continuous airway pressure support. Establish a smooth airway, monitor oxygen saturation, and adjust the way and pressure of airway support according to the specific situation of the baby.
2. Insulation care: premature infants are prone to hypothermia due to their weak thermoregulation. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the baby's temperature. Take insulation measures such as incubator and heating pad, regularly monitor the body temperature, and adjust the temperature of insulation equipment as required.
3. Nutritional support: The gastrointestinal function of premature infants is not perfect, and they often need to be given nutritional support through veins or stomach tubes. The medical staff should formulate a reasonable nutrition plan according to the specific situation of the baby, and monitor the nutrition intake and the growth and development of the baby.
Medical intervention
Medical intervention is an important link in the management of premature infants. With the support of modern medical technology, the survival rate and quality of life of premature infants have been significantly improved. The following are some common medical interventions:
1. Respiratory support: use a special respirator or oxygen supply system for infants to assist premature infants in breathing. For children with dyspnea, chest compression, surgery and other treatments can also be considered.
2. Drug treatment: According to the specific conditions of premature infants, drugs such as pulmonary surfactant, antibiotics, bronchodilators, etc. may be needed. These drugs can improve the lung function and resistance of infants and reduce complications.
3. Infection prevention: premature infants are prone to infection because their immune system is not fully developed. Therefore, medical personnel need to pay attention to strict hand hygiene and disinfection measures to avoid cross infection. For infants at risk of infection, antibacterials can be used for prevention and treatment.
rehabilitation nursing
The rehabilitation nursing of premature infants is of great significance to their development and functional recovery. The goal of rehabilitation nursing is to promote the comprehensive development of various functions of premature infants through targeted treatment measures.
1. Early rehabilitation training: After the vital signs of premature infants are stable, early rehabilitation training can be carried out. Through proper exercise, massage, functional training and other means, promote the physiological function development of infants.
2. Development assessment and intervention: The neural development assessment of preterm infants should be carried out regularly to judge their development level in all aspects. According to the evaluation results, formulate corresponding intervention plans, including physical therapy, language training, social skills training, etc.
3. Family support and education: provide comprehensive support and education to the families of premature infants, including guidance on diet, nursing, safety, etc. Help parents to establish positive parenting concepts and enhance their ability to take care of children.
To sum up, the treatment methods of IVF preterm delivery mainly include pre pregnancy care, fetal protection, medical intervention and rehabilitation care. Through scientific nursing and treatment, the survival rate and quality of life of premature infants can be improved, so that they can successfully meet the healthy growth.
