Volunteers like Quijano are professional preemie cuddlers here at Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach.

像Quijano这样的志愿者都是长滩米勒医院的专业早产儿安抚员。

The micro preemies were also given enriched milk and formula.

超级早产儿还要喝强化牛乳和配方奶粉。

I'm letting go of the preemie, you know that.

你知道的，我已经放弃了那个早产儿。

The newborn was also part of a nutritional study of micro preemies.

这名新生儿还被纳入了超级早产儿的营养研究。

And these micro preemies need every gram of weight they have.

因此，超级早产儿的每一克体重都很重要。

She said one goal of the study was to standardize the feeding process for the micro preemies.

她说，这项研究的其中一个目标是规范超级早产儿的哺乳序。

She notes that micro preemies have little body fat and have no energy to waste.

她指出，超级早产儿的体脂含量很低，因此没有可以浪费的能量。

A micro preemie is born even earlier, spending less than 26 weeks inside the mother.

超级早产儿是在早之前出生的婴儿，这些婴儿在母亲体内的时间不足26周。

Does this looks like a 26 week preemie?

这看起来像 26 周的早产儿吗？

Micro preemies can have even more.

微型早产儿可以拥有。

Micro preemies can have even more. Their organs are not fully developed. And they are not able to breastfeed.

超级早产儿甚至会出问题。他们的器官还未完全发育。这些婴儿不能哺乳。

Preemies, in particular, have poor development. We were able to improve their weight by 30 percent.

“尤其是，早产儿发育不良。而我们能将他们的体重增加30%。”

A team of specialists there has come up with a nutrition plan to give micro preemies the best chance to live and grow strong.

该医院的专家团队设计出了一套营养方案，为超级早产儿提供生存和茁壮成长的最佳机会。

This study would have interested Mary Ellen Avery. She was a medical researcher who made a discovery that helped save the lives of many preemies.

岁若能回溯，这项研究定能在当时引起玛丽·埃伦·埃弗里（Mary Ellen Avery）的兴趣。 作为一名曾经的医学研究人员，她的发挽救了许早产儿的生命。

Rates of miscarriage, birth defects, preemie births and low birth weights were very close to what women experienced before the pandemic hit us.

流产率、出生缺陷率、早产率和低出生体重率非常接近大流行病袭击我们之前女性所经历的情况。

Look, these are preemies, people. They were supposed to have spent another eight weeks in the womb. Just like interns, they're not ready for the real world.

听着，各位，他们都是新生儿。本应该在子宫里再待上个8周的。就像实习生一样，他们还没有准备好来到这个真实的世界。

And what they found was that preemies who listened to tunes had brain networks that more closely resembled those of full-term babies compared to their counterparts who didn't get the treatment.

他们发，与没有接受这种治疗的早产儿相比，听音乐的早产儿的大脑网络接近足婴儿。

And they found that preemies who listened to tunes had brain networks that more closely resembled those of full-term babies, compared to their counterparts who didn't get the treatment.

他们还发，与未听音乐的早产儿相比，听音乐的早产儿的大脑网络与足婴儿的大脑网络相似。

But in the lungs of preemies with RDS, doctors found that many of the mini-balloons had either permanently collapsed or stretched way out, interrupting the gas exchange and causing the babies to suffocate.

但医生发，患有 RDS 的早产儿肺里的许微型气球要么永久性地塌陷，要么向外伸展，导致气体交换中断，婴儿因此而窒息。

Someone invented a device called a CPAP that did just that, and in the United States, the survival rate of preemies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome soared from just one in four to three in four.

有人发明了一种叫做 CPAP 的设备就是这样工作的。在美国，患有呼吸窘迫综症的早产儿的存活率从四分之一飙升到四分之三。
