February 18 (Tang Yanjun) Recently, Xiao Jun (pseudonym), a premature baby who weighed only 900g at birth, was successfully discharged from Xuzhou Xingchen Women's and Children's Hospital under Fosun Health after seeking medical treatment in many hospitals in Shandong Province and repeatedly entering and leaving the neonatal intensive care unit (hereinafter referred to as "NICU"). What is different from the past is that Xiaojun was discharged from the hospital this time, and the whole family has more confidence. "When you have any questions when you go home, you can always find Dr. Li (Xiaojun's attending doctor) team on your mobile phone." The support of the professional team has made this family who once had a very difficult path to seek medical treatment feel at ease.
The arduous way to seek medical treatment: seeking medical treatment everywhere
The surgery for acute appendicitis during pregnancy caused Xiaojun to come to this world early at 25 weeks. After birth, Xiaojun repeatedly went to and from nike in many local hospitals in Shandong, and only returned home after half a year. Who knew that shortly after returning home, there was a situation of breathing effort, Xiaojun came to a local children's hospital again, after more than 20 days of treatment, the condition did not improve, and the heart ultrasound prompted "the right heart enlarged". Just when she was at a loss, Xiaojun's mother contacted Fosun Health's "Infant COPD Management Center" on recommendation, and after consulting with experts on the early stage, Xiaojun's family decided to refer him to Xuzhou Xingchen Women's and Children's Hospital, a member hospital of Fosun Health. On the day of admission, the hospital organized a consultation of experts in the hospital, and finally diagnosed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (hereinafter referred to as "BPD"), combined with right heart dysfunction, and quickly formulated a comprehensive treatment plan for cardiopulmonary co-treatment.
On the third day of admission, Xiao Jun's condition improved significantly, and his original gray face also had a red glow. After one week of treatment, the heart ultrasound "right heart" returned to normal. "Never thought it would get better so quickly!" Xiaojun's mother said excitedly: "It was very difficult to eat milk before, and I had to rest for 10 minutes every time I drank 10ml. This is only a week of treatment, the child's appearance is better, the feeding is normal, usually not breathing, really thank you very much to the doctor team and the hospital. After two weeks of active treatment and nursing, Xiaojun's condition was stable and he was successfully discharged from the hospital.
Full-scene guardianship: in-hospital diagnosis and treatment, and external monitoring
For children with BPD, discharge is not the end of treatment, but the beginning of home care. "Due to the disconnection of the current out-of-hospital monitoring, children with BPD need continuous oxygen or respiratory support treatment after discharge, and if they do not receive the guidance of professional medical staff, they may be accompanied by feeding difficulties, delayed production and development, repeated infections, respiratory failure and other problems, so that new parents can bear physical and mental suffering." Director Li Weihua, a pediatric expert at Xuzhou Xingchen Women's and Children's Hospital, believes that for BPD families, out-of-hospital guardianship is the key and a common challenge for everyone.
To this end, Xuzhou Xingchen Women's and Children's Hospital relies on Fosun Health's online and offline integrated health management platform to prepare for the return to the family during hospitalization. "How to observe the baby's breathing situation, how to use the ventilator at home, how to do cleaning and disinfection, how to care for the baby's skin, etc., these daily we are all informed by pediatric professional nursing personnel, to help parents outside the hospital to find problems as soon as possible, know the basic treatment methods, and can be timely feedback to the medical team."
It is reported that Fosun Health has now opened up data inside and outside the hospital, based on online and offline integrated diagnosis and treatment solutions, and with portable non-invasive ventilators, it can bring health services covering all scenarios, including remote consultation, respiratory support, feeding care, nutrition consultation, psychological counseling and other health services covering the whole scene, to children and families with BPD outside the hospital. "This son is discharged from the hospital, we are also very at ease, with a professional team to do the guarantee!" Xiaojun's mother said.
Previously, Xuzhou Xingchen Women's and Children's Hospital set up a "BPD Treatment and Rehabilitation Center", and the United Nations major medical institutions jointly established a "BPD Treatment Center Cooperation Unit", which has cooperated with dozens of medical institutions across the country, including Guilin Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Guilin 924 Hospital, Baogang Group Third Staff Hospital, Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yunnan First People's Hospital, Wuhan First Hospital, etc. "After Xiaojun returns to Shandong, he can go to the BPD treatment and rehabilitation center of our partner hospital for follow-up consultation, which greatly improves the convenience of medical treatment."
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to professional treatment, considering that Xiaojun's family has spent its savings in NICU in the early stage and owed treatment costs, Fosun Health first applied for a rescue fund from the cooperative foundation, the China Children's Charity Relief Foundation, which effectively alleviated the economic burden of Xiaojun's family.
Filling the treatment gap: Pressing the "fast forward button" for high-quality diagnosis and treatment of the BPD population
According to the Global Report on Premature Babies released by the World Health Organization, about 15 million premature babies are born every year worldwide, of which China's annual premature birth rate is about 10%, ranking second in the world. "As one of the most common and serious respiratory diseases in premature babies, BPD has always been one of the most challenging and hot topics facing neonatal doctors at home and abroad." Director Li Weihua said that in today's highly developed intensive care medicine, there are still many difficulties in BPD treatment, and children cannot do without ventilators and oxygen is one of them. With the implementation of the two-child and three-child policy and the popularization of assisted reproductive technology, more premature babies will be born in the future, and the corresponding incidence of BPD will also increase year by year.
In order to allow more children with BPD to get effective diagnosis and treatment, Fosun Health, based on the online and offline integrated diagnosis and treatment model, with Xuzhou Xingchen Women's and Children's Hospital as the core base, and jointly with national medical institutions, has established the "BPD Treatment and Rehabilitation Center" and cooperative units, on the one hand, to provide standardized diagnosis and treatment training, exchange patient cases, supporting corresponding instruments and drugs for neonatology and low-level doctors in medical institutions, on the other hand, to provide an integrated management platform outside the hospital, open up the hospital and outside the hospital, link online and offline, Realize the full-scenario penetration of high-quality medical services, so that children can return to normal life as soon as possible, and create conditions for a high-quality life in the future.
"The BPD market is painful, just strong, and lacks diagnosis and treatment standards and effective out-of-hospital management in the past." The person in charge of Fosun Health's heart and lung project said here that Fosun Health, with its professional medical service capabilities, cutting-edge scientific and technological innovation capabilities and Fosun's system's resource integration capabilities, provides medical support, device support, drug support, service support, payment support, etc. with users as the center.
In the future, Fosun Health will infiltrate the online and offline integrated health management model into more departments and fields, provide home users with medical treatment as the core, medical-grade, all-scenario and one-stop health management services, and achieve the mission of "making families healthier and life better".
