Yangtze River Daily Wuhan Client October 12 (Reporter Qi Yan Correspondent Liu Shanshan) The baby has difficulty breathing shortly after he was born, his lungs are completely white, and his life is hanged in a thread. After emergency rescue by medical staff from the neonatal department of Wuhan Central Hospital and guarded all night, the "white lung" baby finally escaped. Recently, the parents of the child specially sent a banner to thank the medical staff for their careful treatment and care.
At the beginning of this year, 34-year-old Ms. Zhang was pregnant with her second child and was later diagnosed with gestational diabetes . At the end of September, Ms. Zhang, who was more than 37 weeks pregnant, underwent a cesarean section at Wuhan Central Hospital and gave birth to a baby boy Lele (pseudonym). When she was just born, Lele's breathing was a little rapid, accompanied by moans and spitting. The medical staff immediately gave him oxygen therapy, but in less than a quarter of an hour, Lele's condition suddenly became worse, and her whole body suddenly became purple, and her breathing difficulty worsened, and her blood oxygen saturation dropped to 60%.
The situation was urgent. The neonatologist at the hospital immediately performed tracheal intubation for Lele, and a large amount of blood was seen gushing out of the tracheal catheter. "Not good, there may be lung bleeding." The medical staff quickly joined the rescue. Lele's lungs were found to be completely white in an emergency breast radiograph, which showed the most serious acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Neonatal medical staff immediately injected lung surfactant from the trachea, but Lele's skin was still bruised and the oxygen saturation remained at around 70%. At the same time, the results of heart color ultrasound in the bed showed that Lele's pulmonary artery pressure had reached 97mmHg, and the medical staff present felt a slump. This was a severe pulmonary artery hypertension. If strong treatment measures were not taken in time, continuous severe hypoxia and acidosis would quickly endanger Lele's life.
The team of neonatal specialists is checking the child's condition.
In order to save Lele's life, the director of the neonatal department Jiang Hong immediately decided to ventilator-assisted ventilation and immediately activate nitric oxide inhalation treatment to quickly reduce pulmonary artery pressure. While Lele was racing against the God of Death, the medical staff kept guarding him, closely monitoring vital signs, and communicating with his family in a timely manner. After 72 hours of day and night protection, Lele's pulmonary artery pressure gradually dropped to normal, hypoxemia was improved, nitric oxide was successfully evacuated and the tracheal catheter was removed and changed to non-invasive ventilator assisted ventilation treatment. The medical staff in the neonatal department did not dare to relax their vigilance at all, because in addition to severe pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary bleeding, and acute respiratory distress syndrome, Lele also developed sepsis at the same time and needed to continue to provide symptomatic treatment such as anti-infection. Finally on the seventh day, Lele successfully withdrew from the non-invasive breathing support and began to breathe independently.
The family of the child sent a banner to thank the neonatal medical team.
Recently, Lele's parents took Dabao to pick Lele home, and specially presented a banner to the neonatal medical staff to express their gratitude. "You are my child's life-saving benefactors. Thanks to you, our family of four can be reunited." Ms. Zhang's family was extremely excited.
Jiang Hong, director of the hospital's neonatal department, introduced that acute respiratory distress syndrome and severe pulmonary hypertension in neonatal babies are critical illnesses and have a very high mortality rate. The neonatal condition changes rapidly, and the neonatal intensive care unit may always race against death. Medical staff need to have skilled intensive care skills and meticulous disease observation skills, and dare not be careless or relax every second. "Let every dangerous newborn return to the warm embrace of parents healthily, and all the efforts are worth it!"
