Amidst the scare of coronavirus outbreak and the locked-down imposed, hospitals continue to do their duty in spite of all odds.
One such noble work of saving a newborn baby happened at the NOBLE CARE Children’s hospital during the lockdown period.
A preterm baby weighing 1.8 kilograms was delivered on April 27 and was brought to Noble Care Hospital with difficulty in breathing and abdominal distension.
The baby had developed multiple holes in its Stomach and was growing sicker with each passing hour with an imminent death threat. The baby was seen by Dr.Vijay Pujar and after stabilization the baby underwent a supra major surgery probably first of its kind and removal of a major part of the stomach was required to save babies life.
Postoperative care and establishing feeds in this baby was another challenge as its stomach capacity was reduced to only 4-5 ml. Baby also had developed severe infection by then. Team of Paediatricians of Noble care hospital accepted the challenge and by their constant supervision and meticulous treatment for more than a month, now the baby is out of danger, is healthy, and accepting feeds well.
The doctors of the Noble Care Hospital expressed happiness And satisfaction in saving this baby’s life.
