Premature Baby's Hand Lit By Ultrared Light
Hand of a premature baby lit by ultrared light. This light is use to find the baby's veins, which are very small, to allow drugs and fluids to be administered intravenously. Babies born before 37 weeks of development require constant monitoring in a contained environment. Their immune system and internal organs are under-developed and they have difficulty maintaining a constant body temperature. Photographed at The Sofia Childrens Hospital, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. |

They did this with my son when he was born at 28 weeks. You can still see the small scars where the lines were put in his veins on his hands, arms, ankles and feet.
