Why is the incubator for premature babies so expensive?

Because the incubator can allow the premature baby to experience the feeling of being in the mother's belly, the premature baby is not fully developed, and the incubator can make the baby develop better.

It is because of these premature babies, generally speaking, the growth and development are not particularly good, and many times they need to breathe with the help of some tools, and at the same time, the corresponding drugs will be carried out**, and then the ** of the drugs is also more expensive, and these children generally need to be taken care of very carefully, so the cost is relatively expensive.

If the baby still needs to be checked, **, wearing a ventilator, etc., the cost will be very expensive, especially if there is no medical insurance, it may cost tens of thousands a day.

A baby born before 36 weeks of pregnancy with a weight of less than 5 pounds and a head circumference of less than 33 cm is a premature baby. The fetus is born at 37-42 weeks, and the fetus weighs more than 5 pounds, and it is a full-term baby. Judging from the gestational week alone, this mother's baby is still one week to 37 weeks away, so it is considered a premature baby.

Before I gave birth, my colleague chose the hospital that was so stipulated, and her relatives also gave birth there, and the birth weight did not meet the standard, so I put it in for observation for a day, there was no problem, and I was picked up the next day.

Premature babies are high-risk infants, and it is understandable that they are sent to the neonatal incubator, but for a baby with a gestational week of 36 weeks and a birth weight of up to 6 pounds, as a professional obstetrician, I personally feel that there is no need to go to the neonatology department again, unless there is infection, suffocation, etc. My mother in the same ward where I gave birth at that time, a 36+4 week premature girl, weighed in pounds, and the hospital asked to be sent to the neonatal department for observation, so I stayed in the neonatal department for 5 days, and then was discharged home with my mother. The hospital where I gave birth required that I was less than 37 weeks old and weighed less than 5 pounds and needed to be sent to the neonatology department for observation.

Although during pregnancy, female friends who are expectant mothers will take a lot of careful care to ensure the health of themselves and the fetus throughout the pregnancy, but sometimes the development of pregnancy is not so smooth due to various factors, such as the premature birth of the baby. As long as the newborn's pregnancy cycle reaches 37 weeks to be considered a full-term baby in medicine, pregnant for ten months, less than 27 weeks will be sent to the incubator by the doctor, now the baby is well nourished, the birth weight reaches 4 pounds even if it reaches the standard, Bao Ma can let the baby stay in the womb for a few more days, listen to the doctor's advice, the baby's resistance will be better after birth.

A relative's baby was born at term, but the birth weight was lower than that, and the doctor recommended living in an incubator. Later, the family members who were doctors came to see the child's indicators and said that the child could not live in an incubator, and although he was lightweight, his physical indicators were well developed.

Premature babies have very little brown fat, very little thermogenesis, and are prone to cold injury, known as neonatal scleredema, which is a very serious complication for premature babies and has a very high mortality rate.

Because the organ systems of premature infants are not yet mature, their vitality is poor, and it is easy to lead to diseases, and the development of the thermoregulatory center of premature infants is not very good, and it is difficult to stabilize the body temperature, so it must be put into an incubator. The guidance advises you not to be too nervous, and the doctor is doing everything that is good for your baby, not all for money.

The cost of incubators for premature babies is relatively expensive, and it will vary from region to region, level, and hospital. Calculated on a daily basis, ranging from 500 to 1,000 yuan per day, the charging standard for living in an incubator is different from the hospital in a place, and the drugs, instruments and nursing conditions that need to be used during the period are different, generally requiring 1,000 to 3,000 yuan, consult the local hospital for details.

Premature babies are very afraid of cold, and it is difficult to adapt to the external environment, the temperature control in the incubator is very reasonable, the temperature will be controlled according to the baby's body temperature, and the incubator is not completely closed, there are several air outlets, according to the different children of each child, decide to open and close the air outlets.

The incubator can isolate the baby from the outside infection, avoid the newborn because of contact with polluted air or bacteria caused by physical discomfort, so that the baby has time to adjust the body, to adapt to the external environment, the baby in the incubator, the doctor can directly monitor the baby's heartbeat, body temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure and other physical indicators, but if the baby's situation is very dangerous, it will also increase the cost because of the application of various monitoring and testing, sometimes up to tens of thousands of yuan per day.

Why is the incubator for premature babies so expensive? The incubator can isolate bacteria, which can prevent the baby from being infected with germs and causing illness, isolate noise, and prevent external factors from interfering with the baby's rest.

If the baby is not born in a particularly short amount of time, it will not cost much if you only need to stay in the incubator for about a week. To put it simply, the cost of living in an incubator is actually relatively low, and it is expensive in some inspection fees and fees.

Some babies are premature babies after all, and many human organs are not yet mature, especially the lungs, if the lungs are not well developed, the baby cannot inhale by itself, and it must be maintained by oxygen supply in the incubator. At the same time, the hospital outpatient clinic also needs to carry out some medication for the baby**, this medicine, ** is very expensive, sometimes a day to inject more than 10,000 yuan, and these ** costs are not subsidized, parents need to pay in full, so the cost will be so expensive. Some babies are born prematurely and will have serious illnesses in the incubator as soon as they are born, and in the process of treating the disease, the cost is also impossible, because the baby is not only a premature baby, but also suffering from diseases, she is very fragile, and may leave this world if she is not careful, so she must be treated very carefully before she can get back a glimmer of life.

In the process, because the baby is a very special group, the drug is also a more precious drug, and the price is of course more expensive, which is also a reason for the high temperature box.

If the baby is relatively normal in all aspects, the time to create is not enough, and there is no need for too much ** and special care during the incubator period, then it may be enough to have a few thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan. If you have a serious illness or cardiopulmonary dysplasia, it is likely to cost hundreds of thousands to millions.

What does an incubator do? If he is exposed to nature, it is very easy to be infected by bacteria, and the immunity of premature babies is very low, once infected by bacteria, it is easy to be fatal. Therefore, the incubator will have the effect of protecting against bacteria, so that the baby's life in the sterility testing environment, so that it can continue to grow safely like the pregnant amniotic fluid in the mother's womb.

Adjust the temperature The temperature of the fetus in the womb is generally relatively stable, but after birth, the external environmental temperature will change, and it is difficult for the baby to integrate for a while, so the incubator can adjust the temperature and keep the natural environment at a suitable temperature, so that the baby can develop at a comfortable temperature, and when he grows and develops like a normal baby in all aspects, he can stay with his mother like other babies.

Do premature babies have to live in an incubator?Not necessarily, if the indicators are normal, you don't need to put the incubator. However, there is no certain standard for how long you need to stay in the incubator, and it should be judged according to the baby's condition. Some babies are born prematurely.

One or two weeks, and the body is in good condition, this kind of baby generally stays in the incubator for 3-5 days. Some babies are born too early, so they have to stay in the incubator for a long time.

What does an incubator do1.Avoid infection.

Premature babies have particularly low resistance. To avoid the baby getting sick, put the baby in the insulated box, so that the baby can avoid contact with the outside world. And the air in the incubator is free of bacteria, and there is no dust shortage, which also has a great effect on protecting newborns.

2.Warm. Most premature babies have difficulty adapting to the outside environment, if the baby is in the incubator, you can adjust the temperature of the incubator according to the baby's condition.

If the baby is afraid of cold, you can turn up the temperature of the incubator, and if the baby is hot, lower the temperature of the incubator slightly. In addition, the incubator is not completely closed, and the incubator has several air outlets, so don't worry too much.

How much is a premature incubator a dayThe cost of incubators for premature babies is relatively expensive, and it may vary from region to region and level of hospital. On a daily basis, it ranges from 500-1000 yuan per day. Moreover, the drugs, instruments, and nursing conditions needed during the period will be different, generally 1000-3000 yuan, and the local hospital will be consulted for details.

In our lives, many pregnant mothers do not pay attention to their diet and work and rest, so it will lead to premature birth of the baby, once the baby is born prematurely, the impact on itself is still quite large, in addition to the premature baby is to live in the incubator, and then I will introduce the reasons for this.

First of all, we must know that premature babies are not as healthy as full-term babies, and premature babies may have various congenital deficiencies or some serious complications, so when premature babies are born, doctors will recommend that premature babies live in incubators not only to observe the baby's physical health, but also to prevent some other complications from the baby. In addition, when many premature babies are born, the various functions of the body are more fragile, and it is difficult to breathe, at this time, the incubator can not only help the baby breathe, but also ensure the nutrition that the baby needs to obtain, and can also speed up the baby's development and growth, until the baby's physical health is the same as that of the full-term baby, you can not live in the incubator. However, the incubator is very expensive, and the incubator can also help the baby keep warm, which is beneficial for premature babies.

It can be seen that once prematurely born, the impact on the baby is still very large, and it will also allow the baby to be exposed to this environment too early, but many babies will have some breathing difficulties or some other complications, which requires an incubator. Therefore, pregnant mothers must pay attention to their eating habits and behaviors in life, otherwise it is likely that the baby will be born prematurely.

Pregnant mothers must eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in their lives, which can not only enhance their own immunity, but also promote the peristalsis of the baby's intestines, which has certain benefits for the health of the baby and the child. Finally, it is necessary to exercise appropriately, which can not only speed up the speed of delivery, but also promote the growth and development of the baby, and the impact on the baby is still very good.

Because the physical development of premature babies is very poor, and the body function is not complete, it is necessary to enter the incubator to protect the baby.

This is because the incubator is sterile, and premature babies cannot be exposed to bacteria and may die at any time, so they need to live in the incubator.

Because the physical development of premature babies is not comprehensive enough, the environment of the mother's womb can be simulated after being injected into the incubator, so that the child can develop better and faster and ensure the normal growth of the child.
