In the City Perinatal Center a new method of treatment of newborns with asphyxia
The apparatus for carrying out general hypothermia for children born with severe asphyxia (asphyxia) appeared at the City Clinical Perinatal Center. The equipment is designed to treat the body temperature of a newborn who has undergone asphyxiation in order to reduce the risk of tissue damage after insufficient blood supply. It is worth noting that this treatment will be conducted for children born, in all maternity hospitals of the city.
As experts mark, treatment should be carried out in the first six hours after the birth of the child. The temperature of the newborn's body and brain is artificially reduced to 33-34 degrees within 72 hours, which makes it possible to reduce the likelihood of cerebral edema and its consequences - severe disability. Cooling the brain also contributes to the restoration of microcirculation in the vessels of the brain, reduces the need for cells in oxygen by reducing metabolic processes, reduces cerebral edema.
The use of this method in the treatment of newborns with hypoxia (insufficient supply of oxygen to tissues and organs) increases the chances of the child to recover and reduces the risk of complications.
Also, in order to prevent morbidity and disability in children born prematurely, new forms of rehabilitation have been introduced in the institution. The day hospital for 10 beds has been deployed on the basis of the consultative polyclinic of the Pediatric Hospital of the City Clinical Perinatal Center. For the first nine months of 2014, 176 children were treated, this is almost twice as much as during the same period in 2013. Since 2014, within the framework of the public-private partnership, rehabilitation assistance has been organized for children on the basis of the "Rassvet" rehabilitation center. Since July, in the center of the center, located in the village of Krasnoyarka, rehabilitation of children of the first three years of life under the program "Mother and Child" has been started.
