Greetings
Pregnancy and childbirth are major events in a woman's life. Recently, there has been an increase in high-risk pregnancies and childbirths due to factors such as an increase in older women getting pregnant. It is also known that one in 200-300 women will experience heavy bleeding during childbirth, so it is important to approach childbirth with adequate medical care.
On the other hand, it is also difficult for the baby. The baby moves from the amniotic fluid-filled environment of the womb, which is over 37 degrees Celsius, to a cold environment filled with air, and some babies are unable to adapt to the sudden change in environment or become ill.
The period from 22 weeks of pregnancy to one week after birth, when various problems can occur for mother and baby, is called the perinatal period. During this period, related departments such as obstetrics, neonatology, Pediatric Surgery Critical Care Department Department of Anesthesiology, and diagnostic radiology, which performs endovascular treatment, must work together to provide comprehensive medical care for pregnant women and their babies.
Our center is equipped with the latest equipment and has established a system that makes full use of cutting-edge medical care.We work closely with other medical departments, such as internal medicine, to care for complications, and we play a central role in regional perinatal care by providing a safe and secure environment for pregnancy and childbirth and gentle care for newborns.
All of our staff are eager to do their best to help as many mothers as possible to hold healthy babies in their arms.
Director of Center for Comprehensive Perinatal Medicine
Hitoshi Ishimoto
Overview
Treatment details
There are five Center for Comprehensive Perinatal Medicine in the prefecture, primarily located at university hospitals, primarily responsible for providing perinatal care for high-risk mothers and infants. Our center opened on April 1, 2006, as the base for perinatal care in the Shonan Block (Isehara City, Hiratsuka City, Chigasaki City, Oiso Town, Ninomiya Town, Hadano City, Atsugi City, Aikawa Town, and Kiyokawa Village). We provide outpatient and inpatient care for high-risk pregnant women and newborns, and primarily accept perinatal emergency patients transferred from medical institutions within the block. Our obstetric inpatient care facilities include nine maternal-fetal Intensive Care Unit (MFICU) beds for critically ill pregnant women, 32 back-up beds, and a neonatal ward. Our neonatal inpatient care facilities include 14 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) beds and 10 back-up beds (GCU). Our related departments, including obstetrics, pediatrics, Pediatric Surgery, Department of Anesthesiology, work closely together to fulfill our responsibilities as a regional, advanced medical facility. We also meet the diverse needs of pregnant women and newborns by opening a midwifery outpatient clinic, providing painless (pain-reducing) childbirth, which we have been doing for over 30 years, preconception care (consultation and care from before pregnancy), and follow-up for newborns discharged from the hospital in our developmental outpatient clinic.In addition, our obstetrics department handles childbirth for all those who wish to give birth, even if they are not high-risk pregnancies, so please feel free to contact us for more information.
Main target diseases
Perinatal diseases of the mother, fetus, and newborn
Maternal illness
Preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, placenta previa, monochorionic twins, and various pregnancies with medical complications.
Neonatal diseases
In addition to treating premature and low birth weight infants, primarily very low birth weight infants, we also treat sick newborns with acute respiratory disorders requiring respiratory management, neonatal asphyxia, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, and other conditions, including digestive disorders, severe jaundice, various congenital abnormalities, some cardiovascular diseases (cases that can be managed medically), and Pediatric Surgery conditions such as gastrointestinal atresia.However, in cases where surgical treatment is required for cardiovascular or central nervous system diseases, we may refer patients to the appropriate specialized medical facility rather than our hospital.
