Recently, the couple from Australia told us about the embrace of “kangaroo” that saved the lives of their newborn baby after doctors declared dead. How?
Speaking to Australian television, Kate and David Ogg began his speech by telling the story of medical staff that the candidate will be born premature baby at 27 weeks of pregnancy. Weighing only one kilogram too. Many cases occur in which premature babies would not survive after birth.
They told their doctor that is not mentioned by name in the event the Channel Seven-spend 20 minutes to bring their children before finally deliver bad news, that their little baby is dead.
Once the weight must be lost child who was conceived and look forward, gently holding her little son in his chest that was still naked and then embraced. After two hours, little Jamie hugged, touched, and talked to Kate, her body began to move and show signs of life.
“His breath (Jamie-ed) began gasping and more organized and I was like, ‘Oh my God, what happened?”. Some time later, he opened his eyes, “he said.
“The voice came back from the dead is a miracle,” he added.
Then, Kate and David said they were sending a message to the doctor to tell the signs of life shown to Jamie. However, the doctor said that what happened to Jamie’s just a natural reflex and no way to get Jamie to stay alive. But it turned out, the doctor wrong.
“I would say that we are probably only two people in hospital who believe in the possibility that he’ll come back (alive) after starting to show signs of life,” said David.
The couple-who will bring their son and his twin brother to the United States to perform in several media-said they were very happy if his experience could be encouraging to the parents of the world.
‘Embrace’ kangaroo ‘, it sounds funny, it sounds fun. It helps to bring our baby back into our arms, “said Kate.
How can save the life of a premature baby’s arms? Given hugs hugs Kate was known as “kangaroo”, typical of an Australian marsupial animals jump while carrying her child in a bag that attached to his body. This bag as if incubators are able to give warmth to her child.
A medical study said, hugging a baby can restore their body temperatures more quickly than can be done despite the high technology incubator. They claim that the touch of skin-to-parent style kangaroo leather is the most natural way to protect babies from hypothermia.
Infants born prematurely are more likely to have lower body temperature. In the position of “kangaroo”, Jamie will be able to hear the heartbeat and feel the warmth of her mother’s skin so that his body temperature also rises.
The study, published in Stockholm Karolinska Institute found that babies who received a hug “kangaroo” for four hours, his temperature returned to normal more quickly (90 percent) compared to infants placed in incubators (60 percent). In fact, this technique can reduce the risk of overheating that may be received by babies in incubators.
