Patient's question:
My child is a premature baby and was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit immediately after birth. What does it mean if the first hearing test didn't pass? The hospital said the baby was sleeping at the time, but does it mean there is a problem? Thank you. Are premature babies, like full-term babies, given a thorough check-up within 72 hours after birth, in addition to the heel blood test?Doctor's answer:
According to your purchase situation, if the baby's first hearing screening does not pass, there is no need to be too nervous. If there are influencing factors, they will interfere with the results. Generally, another test is done at 42 days. The heel blood test is the same. The above content is the entire answer to the question: "Are premature babies also carefully examined 72 hours after birth like normal full-term babies?" We hope the patient can soon be free from the troubles of the disease and recover quickly, living a happy and joyful life every day.
