570g Ultra-Small Underweight Child 2.22kg Recovery Miracle 100 Days Party
Cha Medical University Ilsan Cha Hospital (Director Song Jae-man) held a 100-day feast after 100 days of intensive treatment as a baby boy born with a weight of 570g recovered to 2.22kg.
Ian, who was born with 570 grams at 23 weeks of pregnancy on August 9, is an ultra-small underweight child who relied on airway intubation and positive pressure to maintain breathing immediately after birth. Arterial duct patency (PDA) with a hole in the heart continued, continuing non-surgical treatment, and relying on gastrostomy feeding due to poor swallowing function. PDA prevented increasing the amount of lactation, so the crisis was repeated and the weight was once reduced to 430g.
The medical staff of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Ilsan Cha Hospital monitored breathing and circulation 24 hours a day and finely adjusted treatment strategies. Amid intensive treatment and observation, Ian's heart murmur gradually decreased, and a realistic echocardiography confirmed that the artery tube, which had not previously been closed, was naturally closed.
Since then, medical staff have applied standard treatment protocols for high-risk newborns such as respiratory treatment control, step-by-step nutrition supply, and infection control to help Ian recover. As a result, the amount of feeding on one's own bottle increased, and the dependence on oxygen decreased, resulting in a stable improvement in breathing conditions
NICU nurses were seen growing up responding well to treatment even in difficult situations", he explained.
Currently, Ian has improved to 2.22kg, about four times the weight at the time of his birth. He was transferred from the incubator to the thermal insulation room, and the tube he connected for gastronomic nutrition has also been removed, growing enough to feed the baby bottle, and is about to be discharged.
NICU Professor Kim Min-hee at Ilsan Cha Hospital said, `The survival and healthy growth of ultra-small underweight children at 23 weeks is possible when highly specialized treatment and family support are combined.' We will continue to do our best to help children born in difficulties grow healthy."
