Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Preterm infants born at 31 weeks require treatment through medications and other interventions. At 31 weeks of gestation, premature babies have underdeveloped organs. Administration of corticosteroids can help promote lung development. Additionally, these infants often have low body temperature and should be placed promptly into an incubator. Normal feeding can begin only after their physical development reaches an adequate level.
