Do you know what a newborn scleredema?

Neonatal scleredema is the more common diseases \' it consists of a variety of reasons, including its physiological characteristics, infections, asphyxia of newborn hypoxia and cold injury of skin and subcutaneous fat caused by degeneration and macular edema. The high incidence of disease to premature infants and the cold weather, so more in the North.

Neonatal scleredema apart from outside in the cold season, due to preterm birth, infections and other factors can also be seen in summer. Scleredema often occurs within one week after birth, so do nursing care of children is especially important within a week, parents have to look at this knowledge to prevent occurrence of scleredema.

Because Scleroderma is the skin and subcutaneous fatty degeneration, edema, so part of the accumulation of subcutaneous fat can suffer. Lateral common involvement is the order of legs, thighs, and the whole lower extremities, buttocks, cheeks, upper limbs until the body of the Department. General scleredema in head and neck area 20% of the General area of involvement, double arm, chest and abdomen, back, lumbar and sacral, buttocks, lower-limb involvement when respectively of body area, 18%, 14%, and 26%.

Scleroderma occurs after the first body temperature does not rise, temperature can be as low as 31-35 degrees, even in 26 degree; low cry or not to cry, sucking weak, less dynamic. Whole body cold, weak pulse, look dull. Skin is dark red or purple skin and the subcutaneous fat hard, loss of elasticity, hard rubber. Scleroderma in general area larger heavier condition, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, pulmonary hemorrhage occurred last may, mouth and nose out of the blood-like liquid. Mortality is extremely high. Suffering from Scleroderma must be treated in a timely manner.

Treatment methods include: recovery of body temperature, resistance to infection, ensure a liquid and energy supply, correct organ dysfunction. For mild to moderate Scleroderma (hard swollen area is less than 50%), the body temperature is greater than 30 degrees, heat production is good incubators rewarming available in children, normal body temperature in 6-12 hours. Without conditions to seek medical treatment or no incubator used by electric blankets, heated floor heating, hot water bag. But should pay attention to prevent burns, invalid as far as possible to University Hospital for treatment. Severe scleredema (Scleroderma area greater than 50%), body temperature less than 30 degrees, or severe, it is normal body temperature in 12-24 hours, rewarming process must not be too hasty to avoid individual neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage occurred.

Focusing on prevention of neonatal scleredema. In the cold of winter, especially on the room temperature should be maintained at 20-25 degrees in preterm infants. Should be stressed that as long as the attention appropriate insulation technology, you can prevent this disease.
