Changjiang Daily, Wuhan Client, June 10th (Reporter Liu Yue, Correspondent Liu Zhihua) “Being able to apply what they have learned and use new technologies to relieve the pain of patients is something that makes doctors proud. things.” On the 9th, Dr. Hu Haiyan from the Second Ward of Pediatrics and Neonatology Department of the People’s Hospital of Huangpi District, Wuhan City said. One day ago, under the guidance of the head of the department Hu Sanhong and the cooperation of all the teams in the department, she successfully completed 3 children’s bronchoscopy operations. A month ago, the Huangpi area was still blank in the field of children’s bronchoscopy.
From May 28 to June 4, the No. 2 Pediatric Ward • Neonatology Department of Huangpi District People’s Hospital successively admitted 3 children with pneumonia. After observation and detailed discussion, Dr. Hu Haiyan suggested bronchoscopy + bronchoalveolar lavage surgery. Considering the physical condition of the children and saving the operation cost for the family as much as possible, with the consent of the family, Director Hu Sanhong and Dr. Hu Haiyan decided to perform bronchoscopy for the three children under sedation and local anesthesia of the airway.
Bronchoscopic examination and alveolar lavage were performed under local anesthesia.
According to Director Hu Sanhong, local anesthesia is fast, safe, and quick to recover after surgery, but children’s bronchoscopy under local anesthesia has higher technical requirements for the operator. Although the operation time under local anesthesia is short and the children have spontaneous breathing during the operation, the complications such as hypoxia, bronchospasm, arrhythmia, asphyxia, hemorrhage, and pneumothorax are higher than those under general anesthesia. Skilled technology can greatly reduce the incidence of complications.
During the operation, the slender bronchoscope successfully reached the patient’s lungs, and accurately detected the culprit in the patient’s body—white mucus secretions. Dr. Hu Haiyan took lavage fluid locally for culture and then gave lavage treatment, and the secretion was significantly reduced. The average time for each of the three operations is about 12 minutes. Under the action of local anesthesia, the children had no obvious discomfort, and recovered well after the operation, and are scheduled to be discharged from the hospital in the near future.
It is understood that on June 9, the No. 2 Pediatric Ward and Neonatology Department of the hospital completed 3 children’s bronchoscopy operations, and received more than 300 day outpatient clinics and treated 15 patients. Newly admitted children, timely and successfully completed comprehensive treatment of premature infants(asphyxia resuscitation, ventilator, PS replacement therapy, umbilical vein catheterization, etc.), diabetic ketoacidosis and other critically ill children ‘s rescue. Head Nurse Li Jing led the nursing team returning from overseas training to conduct preoperative education and postoperative health guidance. The department’s superb diagnosis and treatment skills and professional nursing knowledge were unanimously praised by the families of the children.
