贝尔估计说,美国每年约有7500名婴儿出生时不足1磅,其中只有10%能存活。有时候,那些存活率几乎为零的小婴儿会显出一丝活力。在保育器里,吊上氧气瓶、进行静脉注射的话,他们还能呼吸一小会儿。“但就算这样,只要婴儿没有希望存活,我们一般都不会抢救,何必让婴儿和父母都遭罪。贝尔说道。
Muraskas says his report highlights a sometimes overlookedfact: gestationalage is even more critical for survival than size.
穆拉斯卡斯说,他在报告中尤为强调了可能被忽视的一点:婴儿要想存活,胎龄比体重更重要。
Rumaisa and Madeline were both palm-sized, weighing less than a can of soda pop the average size of an 18-week-old fetus but they were several weeks older than that. Their gestational ages almost 26 weeks for Rumaisa and almost 27 weeks for Madeline meant their lungs and other organs were mature enough to make survival possible.
鲁美莎和玛德琳都只有手掌大小,体重还不及一罐汽水的重量(也就是18周胎儿的平均体重);但她们的胎龄却已超过18周。鲁美莎的胎龄是26周,玛德琳是27周。所以,她们的肺部等其他器官已经发育成熟,能保证她们可以存活下来。
Madeline has asthmaand remains petite4 foot 8 and about 65 pounds at age 20; Rumaisa at age 5 weighed 33 pounds and was 3 1/2 feet tall, smaller than about 90 percent of kids her age. Current information on the girls' size was not in the report; Madeline is now 22 and a senior at Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill.; Rumaisa is 7 and attends first grade in suburbanChicago.
