Changjiang Daily, Wuhan Client, May 18th(Correspondent Liu Zhihua, reporter Liu Yue) Recently, Huangpi District People’s Hospital successfully carried out the first pediatric bronchoscopy diagnosis and treatment . The successful development of this technology has filled the gap in children’s bronchoscopy technology in Huangpi District, marking that Huangpi District People’s Hospital’s ability to diagnose and treat children’s respiratory diseases has risen to a new level.
The medical team discussed the diagnosis and treatment plan.
It is understood that a 9-year-old boy was admitted to the No. 2 Pediatric Ward of the People’s Hospital of Huangpi District due to “lobar pneumonia”, and received active anti-infection, cough, nebulization and other symptomatic treatment Later, a repeat chest CT showed that there was still a large area of infection in the right lower lung, and moist rales were still present on lung auscultation. In this case, if a single conservative treatment is continued, it may lead to a long course of disease, prolonged infection, and even necrotizing pneumonia. In order to minimize the damage to the children and promote recovery as soon as possible, Director Hu Sanhong of the Second Ward of Pediatrics immediately contacted Dr. Hu Haiyan, who was studying children’s bronchoscopy techniques in Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital. After analysis and discussion, it is planned to perform pediatric bronchoscopy + bronchoalveolar lavage for the treatment of this child.
Preoperative preparation for the first child bronchoscopy in Huangpi District People’s Hospital.
After the family members of the children agreed to perform bronchoscopy and treatment, the department immediately stepped up preparations. In order to ensure the successful completion of the first operation, the department specially invited experts in child respiratory intervention in Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital to provide technical guidance. After a full preoperative evaluation and the perfect cooperation and precise operation of the anesthesiologist, surgeon, and nurse during the operation, on May 12, Nurses’ Day, the first child bronchoscopy was successfully completed. After the operation, the pulmonary moist rales were significantly reduced, and the child is scheduled to be discharged from the hospital in the near future.
According to reports, bronchoscopy is an endoscopic technique acting on the respiratory tract, an examination technique and a treatment method. Under the action of local anesthesia, brushing of the respiratory tract, lavage and removal of foreign bodies can be performed. In recent years, children’s respiratory diseases have become more and more complicated. Pediatric bronchoscopy can help clinicians to intuitively understand the bronchial and lung lesions of children, which can not only improve the clinical symptoms of patients, but also shorten the time of medication and reduce the cost of medicine. an effective means of diagnosis and treatment.
