Patient's question:
Three days, weight 2.38 kg, sent directly to the incubator after birth. The doctor said the duration of stay would be determined. The child had slightly low blood sugar after the doctor's examination and was given a glucose injection. Everything else is fine. When I saw the doctor filling out the forms, all the items were marked with 10 points, but I don't understand what it means~!Doctor's answer:
Patient, 1 day old, premature (32 weeks and 3 days), low birth weight, developed hypoglycemia after birth, improved after correction. The mother was diagnosed with gestational hypertension.Advice: Hello! The concerns you have are unfounded. Placing the baby in an incubator only benefits them and does no harm. Your baby is a premature infant with low birth weight. They were not ready to come into this world and cannot yet adapt to their surroundings. They lose heat rapidly, making them prone to hypothermia and frostbite (babies tolerate cold much less well than adults). Therefore, the incubator provides a comfortable environment for them to grow and gradually adapt to their surroundings.
Doctor's inquiry: Are there any other concerns you would like to ask me about?
