Can a premature baby weighing more than two jin survive?
A preterm infant weighing more than two jin (approximately 1 kg) can generally survive if in good health. However, if serious health problems exist, survival might be difficult. It is recommended to seek timely medical care and follow professional medical guidance for appropriate management.
Modern medical technologies, including respiratory support, nutritional supply, and infection control, can provide essential life support for infants with extremely low birth weight. If the infant does not have severe congenital defects or complications such as underdeveloped lungs, heart problems, or other organ dysfunction, the survival rate for a preterm infant weighing more than two jin can be relatively high. Even if certain health issues exist, as long as they are promptly identified and properly managed, the infant's chances of survival can increase.
If the gestational age of the preterm infant is small, for example less than 28 weeks, the difficulty of treatment increases due to the infant's organs not being fully developed, and the survival rate will be relatively lower. Additionally, if postnatal complications such as respiratory distress syndrome, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, anemia, or intracranial hemorrhage occur, these can further increase the risk of mortality. If these complications are not treated promptly and effectively, they may pose life-threatening risks to the preterm infant.
Parents and medical staff should remain vigilant and closely monitor the health status of preterm infants to ensure their healthy growth.
