The birth of a premature baby is disconcerting for parents. Therefore, all the information is little to better understand what is happening and know what is the most appropriate way to care for the newborn.
Hera Project It is a new website created for improve premature baby care. It is aimed at parents and caregivers of babies so that their development is equal or as close as possible to a baby born at term.
We have spoken several times on the blog about the need to humanize the care of premature babies so that their recovery is more favorable. I have found especially interesting the concept of which they speak on the web of raising awareness about development-centered care.
Such care consists, for example, in controlling noise, putting covers for incubators, staff sensitization and decreasing the sound intensity of alarms, controlling light intensity with dimmable intensity bulbs, establishing quiet hours to allow rest. Children, implement a protocol of minimal manipulation, undertake measures for comfort and pain control, use nests or barriers to maintain posture and maintain flexion, use sucrose as an analgesic in any maneuver that may cause pain , make scales for the evaluation of pain, allow the entry of parents and other family members so that they can take care of their children by improving their evolution and promoting breastfeeding.
From Babies and more we want to congratulate the launch of the project in which professionals from the neonatology area of various Spanish hospitals participate.
Without a doubt, it will be a very useful consultation tool for parents of premature babies as well as for professionals involved in their care.
