Some kids were caught off guard
again! hair! burn! Now!
6 children within a week
were directly sent to the ICU of this hospital in Shenzhen!
Just finished the summer vacation of the beasts
Papa’s heart
was immediately raised to the throat
Suffering breath, difficulty breathing, hypoxia...
6 Shenzhen kids in a week PICU
This month, Xiaoyu’s mother (pseudonym) experienced a "roller coaster in life".
A few months ago, Xiaoyu was born. Because it was a premature baby, I stayed in the hospital for one month after I was born. After finally getting out of the hospital, I naturally became the family's favorite after returning home.
However, before the whole family was happy, Xiaoyu fell seriously ill!
After a few heavy rains a few days ago, the weather turned cold, the light rain was a little stuffy, and occasionally coughed. However, the little guy is in good spirits and is normal to eat breastfeeding. The family thought that the child was just catching a cold, so they didn't care much.
2 days later, Xiaoyu's cough became more and more serious, her breathing was obvious, and she was a little short of breath. Not only that, she is usually very well-behaved in her breasts, but she rarely refuses to eat and often cries.
The whole family was anxious and hurried to the hospital with the baby in his arms.
After a checkup, the doctor diagnosed it with acute asthma bronchitis and atomization was prescribed. However, Xiaoyu's symptoms still did not improve.
After a day, she still had a fever and once reached 38.7℃. What's more serious is that she is getting worse and worse, she eats less breastfeeding, and occasionally vomits.
soon, Xiaoyu was arranged to be hospitalized. However, her condition is still aggravating, not only dyspnea, but also hypoxemia. The second day after she was hospitalized in , she was admitted to PICU (Children's ICU).
Just when the family was so anxious that they scratched their hearts and hearts, five more children were sent to the PICU of Shenzhen Children's Hospital due to severe pneumonia. Their symptoms and onset process are surprisingly similar to those of Xiaoyu.
Most of these children have symptoms such as , such as holding the breath, difficulty breathing, and hypoxia. has several children, and they also had tracheal intubation due to respiratory failure and were on the ventilator!
Fortunately, after full rescue efforts, the condition of these children has improved significantly, and 4 of them have turned into danger.
In recent times, the number of children with respiratory infections in pediatric emergency and outpatient clinics in various hospitals in Shenzhen has increased significantly. The hospitalization beds in the pediatric respiratory ward have also become nervous.
Is this the situation of Shenma? People in the parent group were also panic -
⚬ N many children were hit one after another? Is it contagious?
⚬ Cough, fever, nasal congestion? How to distinguish it from the common cold
⚬ Severe pneumonia?
⚬ Will it be related to the new coronavirus?
...
Is it impossible? Another new virus is "invading"? ! !
Don’t panic, almost every child has to experience this "trafficking".
These few months each year, it is the high incidence period.
In one week, who is the sacred virus that sends 6 babies to the PICU?
In fact, this guy who tortures children and parents to the point of being unable to sleep or eat is called respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
Recently, there have been significantly more children admitted to the hospital due to acute respiratory infection, many of which are because of the "sneak" of this virus.
▲Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
This is not a new type of virus. Every year, it will come out to "make trouble":
⚬ In northern my country, the peak outbreak period: October to May of the following year
⚬ In the south, the peak epidemic: rainy season
In fact, almost all children have been infected with this virus before the age of 2!
However, dads and moms don’t have to worry too much. If you want to help your babies “kill monsters” to escort, the most important thing is to find out the background of the virus.
How does respiratory syncytial virus
spread?
There are two main ways: contact propagation and droplet propagation.
That is to say, just like influenza transmission, if a patient sneezes face to face and shakes your hand, you may be infected!

However, the disease may not occur immediately after infection. The corresponding symptoms may not appear after the incubation period of 4 to 6 days.
kbang to the blackboard to highlight the key points! After these groups of people are "infected", their condition is often worse:
01. Infants and young children
⚬ Baby at 6 months of age (special attention is required)
⚬ Premature babies, especially those born less than 35 weeks of pregnancy
⚬ Day care infants
⚬ Baby with brothers and sisters (possibly infected but asymptomatic)
02. Elderly patients
especially those in nursing homes or nursing homes.
03. Chronic patients
Patients with underlying cardiopulmonary diseases or other chronic diseases, such as patients with severe asthma, congenital heart disease, impaired immune function and transplant recipients.
04. Among children exposed to second-hand smoke
passive smoking, the hospitalization rate of severe respiratory syncytial virus infection is 2.53 times that of children without passive smoking.
Be careful with new parents!
The baby may have a big problem in "infected"
Children infected with respiratory syncytial virus will experience symptoms such as fever, mild cough, sneezing, and runny nose in the early stage.
Once you are "entangled" by this virus, you may have fever symptoms at the beginning, usually medium and low fever (a few have high fever, up to 40℃). Generally, taking some antipyretics will reduce the fever. At this time, parents should wake up their energy and not be deceived by the virus's "disguised methods".
Don’t think that everything will be fine if the fever subsides. What may follow may be:
Stummy or suffocating asthma, shortness of breath, and severe cases will also be irritable and restless, and may even be accompanied by dehydration, acidosis, and breathing.
Home has babies of young confinement age, so pay special attention. This disease is more dangerous. The baby may experience apnea, causing sudden death! !
is infected with this virus, is the sky falling?
Don’t worry, there is help!
At present, although there are no antiviral drugs that can be effectively treated, most patients do not need to use antiviral drugs.
respiratory syncytial virus infection is usually self-limiting. Most heals on one to two weeks, and a few last for about one month. Moreover, most children have mild symptoms.

For children who are "infected", is mainly supported treatment, , for example:
⚬ If the nasal congestion is obvious, you can use physiological sea water to drop the nasal cavity;
⚬ For severe symptoms and high-risk patients, you should be hospitalized for observation, and fluid replenishment, oxygen inhalation, respiratory support, etc.
Generally speaking, parents only need to pay attention to isolation, while maintaining enough liquid volume for the child to observe the amount of milk, urine, mental status, and whether the child’s lips are dry. If there is no abnormality in , children with mild symptoms can observe at home.
After treatment, most children can recover completely without leaving any sequelae.
Once the child is found to have these symptoms
You must see a doctor in time
If you have these symptoms, you should send the doctor immediately:
⚬ Feeding volume is less than half of the usual, and you may even refuse to eat
⚬ Irritable, irritable, and lethargy
⚬ Respiratory frequency increases (60 times a baby/minute, the child's chest is counted as one breath)
⚬ Small nose deflates with breathing (nostril wings incite)
⚬ Respiration is exhausting, and the rib gaps in the chest are all sunken with the respiratory depression
. The condition has not reached critical terrible, but there have been these conditions in the past:
⚬ Premature birth (37 weeks of gestation)
⚬ Low birth weight (2.5kg)
⚬ Age less than 12 weeks of age
⚬ There are high-risk factors such as chronic lung diseases, malnutrition, congenital airway deformity and laryngeal cartilage softening, congenital heart disease, motor development delay, immune function defects, congenital malformation and other high-risk factors: If the condition changes rapidly, observation is required, and relevant auxiliary examinations may also be repeated.

Get this disease If you have antibodies
, you won’t get it anymore, right?
is hard to say. The serotype of
respiratory syncytial virus is divided into two subtypes A and B, and each subtype is also divided into different strains. After the child is "infected", he will not be permanently immunized after he is cured, and may also be infected again.
Some people, may be infected repeatedly during the same epidemic season.
Fortunately, if you get re-infection, it is usually limited to upper respiratory tract infection and bronchitis, which are relatively milder than the primary infection.
Can this virus be prevented?
It’s a pity that there is no vaccine in China to get it.
But these measures can be used to prevent infection:
01. Go to places with more people
syncytial virus epidemic season, reduce taking babies to places where people gather, especially patients with higher risk of infection. For outdoor activities, you can choose a park or grassland with few people.
02. Wash hands frequently and wear masks
syncytial virus can survive on hands and contaminants for several hours. Washing hands frequently and wearing masks are important measures to prevent transmission.
03. Maintain good hygiene habits
Don't cough at people, and protect them with tissues or elbows when sneezing.
04. Improve physical fitness
balanced nutrition, pay attention to rest, and reduce the risk of infection and disease after exposure.
05. Do not smoke
Smoking second-hand smoke and other smoke will increase the chance of infection and aggravate airway damage. Smoking dad, for the sake of your children, please quit.
06. Breastfeeding
It is recommended to insist on exclusive breastfeeding after birth until the child is over 6 months old.
