Der Welt-Fr\u00fchgeburtstag wird jedes Jahr am 17. November gefeiert, um auf die Probleme aufmerksam zu machen, die M\u00fctter und Neugeborene im Zusammenhang mit Fr\u00fchgeburten haben.<\/p>\n

Ein Baby, das vor der 37. Schwangerschaftswoche geboren wird, gilt als Fr\u00fchgeburt. Jedes Jahr werden 15 Millionen Babys geboren Fr\u00fchgeburt<\/a> weltweit, was einer von zehn Lieferungen entspricht.<\/p>\n

Nach Angaben der Zentren f\u00fcr die Kontrolle und Pr\u00e4vention von Krankheiten (CDC<\/a>), Fr\u00fchgeburten und niedriges Geburtsgewicht sind f\u00fcr etwa 14,81 TP3T der Todesf\u00e4lle bei S\u00e4uglingen verantwortlich. Bei Fr\u00fchgeborenen besteht ein hohes Risiko f\u00fcr Probleme beim F\u00fcttern, Atembeschwerden, Seh-, H\u00f6r- und Entwicklungsst\u00f6rungen.<\/p>\n

Babys geboren verfr\u00fcht<\/a> Abh\u00e4ngig von ihrem Entwicklungsstand und der ben\u00f6tigten Unterst\u00fctzung m\u00fcssen sie Zeit auf der Intensivstation f\u00fcr Neugeborene (NICU) im Krankenhaus verbringen. Fr\u00fchgeborene k\u00f6nnen entlassen werden, wenn sie ein Mindestgewicht von mindestens vier Pfund erreichen und eine stetige Gewichtszunahme zeigen. Das Baby kann sicher mit nach Hause genommen werden, wenn es unabh\u00e4ngig atmen kann, gestillt oder mit der Flasche gef\u00fcttert werden kann und sich ohne Inkubator selbstst\u00e4ndig warm halten kann.<\/p>\n

Auch nach der Entlassung aus der neonatologischen Intensivstation ben\u00f6tigen Fr\u00fchgeborene zu Hause noch besondere Aufmerksamkeit und Pflege, da ihr K\u00f6rper empfindlich und anf\u00e4llig f\u00fcr Infektionen ist, die zu Komplikationen f\u00fchren k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n

Hier sind sechs Schritte, um Infektionen bei Fr\u00fchgeborenen zu Hause vorzubeugen:<\/p>\n

1. Impfungen durchf\u00fchren:<\/strong> Das Fr\u00fchgeborene und die Personen, die es betreuen, m\u00fcssen \u00fcber Impfungen auf dem Laufenden sein. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass sich die Neugeborenen die Infektion durch die Pflegekraft anstecken.<\/p>\n

2. H\u00e4nde waschen:<\/strong> Eine gute H\u00e4ndehygiene durch Waschen mit Seife nach dem Windelwechsel sowie vor und nach der Ber\u00fchrung des Babys kann Infektionen vorbeugen. Die Verwendung eines Taschentuchs beim Husten oder Niesen und der Verzicht auf gemeinsame pers\u00f6nliche Gegenst\u00e4nde wie Handt\u00fccher k\u00f6nnen die Ausbreitung von Keimen verhindern.<\/p>\n

3. Stillen Sie das Baby:<\/strong> Wenn das Baby gestillt werden kann, ist dies eine ideale Ern\u00e4hrungsmethode, da Studien zeigen, dass Muttermilch f\u00fcr eine bessere Immunit\u00e4t sorgt und die Bindung zur Mutter verbessert.<\/p>\n

4. Vermeiden Sie den Besuch \u00f6ffentlicher Orte:<\/strong> Die meisten \u00c4rzte empfehlen, die Besuche \u00f6ffentlicher Orte bei Fr\u00fchgeborenen zumindest in den ersten Wochen einzuschr\u00e4nken, um das Infektionsrisiko zu verringern.<\/p>\n

5. Beschr\u00e4nken Sie die Besucherzahl zu Hause:<\/strong> Es ist wichtig, die Zahl der Besucher zu Hause einzuschr\u00e4nken, insbesondere bei Menschen mit Husten, Erk\u00e4ltungen oder Magen-Darm-Beschwerden. Eltern sollten Besucher dazu anhalten, auf H\u00e4ndehygiene zu achten, bevor sie das Kind ber\u00fchren.<\/p>\n

6. Rauchen zu Hause verboten:<\/strong> In Haushalten mit Fr\u00fchgeborenen sollte das Rauchen strikt vermieden werden, da Passivrauchen bei noch nicht ausgereiften Kindern besonders sch\u00e4dlich f\u00fcr die Lunge und das Immunsystem ist.<\/p>\n

Every year, 15 million babies are born preterm worldwide, which accounts for one in 10 deliveries.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), preterm delivery and low birth weight account for about 14.8% of infant deaths. Premature babies are at high risk of developing feeding difficulties, breathing issues, problems with vision, hearing and development.Babies born premature need to spend time in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) at the hospital, depending on their level of development and support required. Preemies can be discharged when they reach a minimum weight of at least four pounds and show steady weight gain. The baby is safe to be taken home when they can breathe independently, can be breastfed- or bottle-fed and can keep warm on its own without the incubator.After the discharge from NICU, premature babies still need special attention and care at home as their bodies are sensitive and prone to infections that can lead to complications.Here are six steps to prevent infections in premature babies at home:1. Take vaccinations: The premature baby and the persons taking care of the child need to be up to date on vaccinations. This will prevent the newborns from contracting the infection from the caregiver.2. Wash hands: Maintaining good hand hygiene by washing them with soap after changing diapers and before and after touching the baby can prevent infections. Using a tissue while coughing or sneezing, and avoiding the use of shared personal items such as towels can prevent the spread of germs.3. Breastfeed the baby: If the baby can be breastfed, it is an ideal choice of feeding as studies show breastmilk provides better immunity and improves bonding with the mother.4. Avoid visiting public places: Most doctors recommend limiting public place visits with premature babies, at least in the first few weeks to reduce the risk of contracting infections.5. Limit visitors at home: It is important to limit visitors at home, especially people who have coughs, colds or stomach bugs. Parents should encourage visitors to maintain hand hygiene before touching the child.6. No smoking at home: Smoking should be strictly avoided at homes with premature babies, as secondhand smoke is particularly harmful to their lungs and immune systems that are not mature.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/de\/welt-fruhgeburtstag-hier-erfahren-sie-wie-sie-infektionen-bei-fruhgeborenen-zu-hause-verhindern-konnen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-11-17T08:39:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/world-prematurity-day-heres-how-you-can-prevent-infections-in-preterm-babies-at-home.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/world-prematurity-day-heres-how-you-can-prevent-infections-in-preterm-babies-at-home\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/world-prematurity-day-heres-how-you-can-prevent-infections-in-preterm-babies-at-home\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Urban Care Clinic\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/a304a61bcf298680ee41e2e9ae193930\"},\"headline\":\"World Prematurity Day: Here’s How You Can Prevent Infections In Preterm Babies At Home\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-11-17T08:39:40+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/world-prematurity-day-heres-how-you-can-prevent-infections-in-preterm-babies-at-home\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":423,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/world-prematurity-day-heres-how-you-can-prevent-infections-in-preterm-babies-at-home\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/11\\\/world-prematurity-day-heres-how-you-can-prevent-infections-in-preterm-babies-at-home.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"Medical Daily\"],\"inLanguage\":\"de\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/world-prematurity-day-heres-how-you-can-prevent-infections-in-preterm-babies-at-home\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/world-prematurity-day-heres-how-you-can-prevent-infections-in-preterm-babies-at-home\\\/\",\"name\":\"World Prematurity Day: Here's How You Can Prevent Infections In Preterm Babies At Home -
