There are two babies at home, and I am most afraid of getting sick at the same time. Xu Jing's (pseudonym) two babies were admitted to the hospital one after another because of abdominal pain, frequent vomiting, and intussusception were found in the hospital.
Recently, in the Department of Pediatric Surgery of Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital (Nanshan Hospital) (hereinafter referred to as "Nanshan Hospital"), doctors successfully helped the brothers to relieve themselves and avoid surgery after timely drug treatment and manual reduction. After the baby was recovered and discharged from the hospital, the parents specially sent a pennant to the pediatric surgery department to thank the doctors for their superb skills and solving the family's urgent needs.
The family sent pennants to thank the pediatric medical team
The two babies "encapsulated the small intestine with the large intestine", and Dr. Nanshan reduced the position without surgery
Because the two babies successively "wrapped the large intestine and small intestine", Xu Jing, who was a mother, stayed in the hospital for nearly a week.
At the beginning, the 7-year-old eldest son Xiaoguang (pseudonym) came to the hospital for abdominal pain and frequent vomiting, and was diagnosed with intussusception.
Intussusception is a symptom of acute intestinal obstruction caused by a section of the intestine and its mesangium lining lining into the adjacent intestinal lumen. To put it simply, the intestines are set together, "the large intestine wraps the small intestine", and if it is not unpacked for a long time, the intestines will undergo ischemia and necrosis, and in severe cases, it may even be life-threatening.
The team of Duan Shouxing of the Department of Pediatric Surgery of Nanshan Hospital implemented the B-ultrasound monitoring of intussusception water enema reduction method for Xiaoguang, and successfully uncondud and reduce, and was discharged after two days of hospitalization observation.
But as soon as she returned home from the hospital, Xu Jing found that her 4-year-old son also said that he had stomach pain and vomiting, "The child took a bite and vomited, which was more serious than the eldest child, so we suspected that it was also this disease, and immediately went back to the hospital." ”
After the emergency doctor examined the body based on the medical history and improved the relevant examinations, he confirmed that the youngest son also had intussusception. Both babies were diagnosed, and it was the first time that a mother had heard of this disease, Xu Jing was anxious and confused.
What I didn't expect was that after the water enema reduction method was successfully performed on the baby, the ultrasound results showed abnormal tube echo after 4 hours, and there was a relapse. That is, the untied intestines are re-lasso. And there are 5 in one set, which not only makes parents anxious, but doctors rarely see it.
"Some children who have intussusception are prone to recurrence, but it recurs after only 4 hours, and there are 5 intussusceptions, which is rare. Said the doctor on duty.
Combined with drug treatment and manual reduction, the doctor successfully untipped the baby's 5 intestinal intussusceptions, avoiding open surgery. After being hospitalized for observation for three days, Xiaowa also recovered well and was discharged from the hospital.
There are many intussusception "routines", and you should be careful with these symptoms
After this toss, Xu Jing, who was a mother, heard about the disease of intussusception for the first time, "I didn't know this disease before, it is urgent and dangerous, and we parents need to have a good understanding of this disease with a 'routine'!"
According to doctors, intussusception is one of the most common acute abdomen in infancy. At present, the cause is not clear, and it may be caused by changes in dietary habits, intestinal spasm, intestinal peristalsis, or it may be caused by factors such as large ileocecal cecal mobility, large differences in tube diameter, or viral infection. This time, it was a coincidence that two babies in a family were sick at the same time.
If your child has paroxysmal abdominal pain, vomiting, a lump in the abdomen, or a thin, mucusy or jelly-colored jam stool, you should take your child to your doctor as soon as possible. For patients with normal conditions within 48 hours of onset, non-surgical treatment is preferred, with a reduction success rate of more than 90%, and for severe patients who fail non-surgical treatment and the course of the disease is more than 48 hours, surgical treatment is performed in time.
Duan Shouxing reminded that to prevent intussusception, parents should pay attention to scientific feeding, do not change food at will, and do not let their children be too hungry and full; pay attention to climate change, increase or decrease clothes at any time, and avoid intestinal peristalsis disorders caused by abdominal cold.
