New Technology Can Save Lives of Premature and Newborn Babies



Doctors say a new technology unveiled today at

Connecticut Children's Medical Center will improve outcomes for premature and newborn babies.

Sarah and Chris James know how the right technology can make a difference.

Their pregnancy was going smoothly until the delivery of their daughter Rosie. During ten hours of second-stage labor, Rosie was deprived of oxygen, and was not breathing when born.

Doctors assessed Rosie's condition at the NICU in Danbury, and said she needed a special cooling treatment immediately. That treatment was only available over an hour away in Hartford.
