Newborn Infant’s Intensive Care

It should be known that the rate of infant mortality is one of the indicators to show a country’s development. The rate of newborn death ,birth defects, low birth weight, toxic materials which mothers have such as nicotine, drag habits, not good enough care after or before pregnancy are related to the infant’s health during and after pregnancy. We should diagnosis the babies at risk earlier during the newborn age to decrease neonatal death and to improve quality of life.The infants at high risk; with respiration problems, premature babies, low or heavy birth weight which are related to pregnancy age, sepsis, jaundice new birth babies are treated in the Newborn Infant’s Intensive Care Unites. We need the Newborn Infant’s Intensive Care Unit for 9% birth. The babies at high risk should be under the supervision of experienced doctors and nurses. Usually several days supervision is enough. Newborns at high risk should be taken to the Newborn Infant’s Intensive Care Unite after delivery room. High level care should be administered and then the babies should be returned to their mothers. The pregnancies at high risks are mostly premature births. The most common problems with premature babies are respiration failure, low diabetes, low calcium, jaundice, anaemia, having not enough oxygen, low body temperature, and infections. Premature babies are mostly under weight and are unable to feed properly. In new the Newborn Infant’s Intensive Care Unit newborn infants are diagnosed stabilized and treated apriority depending on their problem. The Newborn Infant’s Intensive Care Units, heart speed, respiration measure, blood pressure, and oxygenation are monitored all the time. Oxygenation is supplied by a mask or mechanic ventilator for new births with respiration failure. An incubator keeps a body’s temperature stabile, sets the rate of humidity and safeguards from contamination. Premature newborns are more sensitive too infections. The most important factor is having an experienced and good enough team to provide premature newborns with successful care. And then the rate of living is 95% for the babies between 1500 – 2500 gr. The rate of living is 90% for the babies under 1500 gr. in Newborn Infant Intensive Care Unite.
