Odisha Hospital Doctors Successfully Treat Critically Ill Premature Baby
Imagine a tiny baby, born much too early, weighing less than a bag of sugar.
This baby was very sick and needed special care in a hospital's intensive unit.
Doctors and nurses worked hard for about three months, giving the baby extra help to breathe and watching him very closely.
They helped him get stronger and healthier.
After 100 days, the baby was finally well enough to go home with his family, which is a huge success because babies born so early often have a difficult time surviving.
A premature male baby born at 25 weeks and weighing 700 grams was treated at IMS and SUM Hospital-1 in Odisha.
The baby was admitted in critical condition, having received treatment at two prior hospitals.
The infant required respiratory support for nearly two and a half months due to complications of prematurity.
The survival rate for babies born at 25 weeks is less than 50 percent.
The baby was successfully treated and discharged after spending 100 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
