[Foreign Aid Chronicle] China Aid Ethiopian Medical Team to treat huge epidural hematoma babies

(Reporter Feng Jincan) Recently, the 23rd medical team of China Aid Ethiopia adopted emergency surgery and successfully cured a child with a huge epidural hematoma.

On Saturday, Wang Zaizhong, the 23rd medical team member of China Aid Ethiopia, was eating dinner and suddenly received a call from the local hospital pediatricians: there was a severe condition of an acute ductive blood swelling, and he was urgently needed to treat it. Wang Zaizhong had too late to think about it, put down the rice bowl and rushed to the pediatric emergency treatment.

Wang Zaizhong found that the child was found to be a 9 -month -old baby. He was admitted to the hospital with "6 hours of hemiplegia, nausea, and vomiting after falling from the heights". The midline was obviously shifted and the right frontal temporal bone fracture was shifted. Wang Zaizhong combined with the medical history, symptoms, signs and imaging examinations of the children, and decided to perform emergency surgery.

When preparing blood for the child, Wang Zaizhong was told that the blood bank of the local hospital had no blood, and immediately reported the situation to the medical team captain Zhang Zhiren. Zhang Zhirai and the medical team translated Song Wengang immediately to communicate with the local hospital for blood problems, and said that the medical team members were willing to donate blood for free blood to rescue children. The hospital was very moved when he heard the news. He repeatedly thanked the medical team and said that he was actively coordinating the blood of the blood storage of the Abeba Center.

While communicating with blood, Wang Zaizhong immediately applied for emergency surgery. When the child of the anesthesiology department of the local hospital was a 9 -month -old baby, the other party told Wang Zaizhong: "We have no experience in children with such a small age of anesthesia. We Need the help of the medical team. "

After learning about the situation, Zhang Zhihuo immediately led the medical team's anesthesiologist Zhao Yonghui and the translator Song Wengang to rush to the operating room. Zhao Yonghui carefully selected the drugs suitable for children in the local hospital, and prepared the trachea duct and related tracheal intubation supplies. In order to keep the child's warmth during the children's surgery, Zhao Yonghui also tried to use the cotton on the electric heater as a heating blanket.

After the blood arrived at the hospital, the surgery began immediately. During the operation, Wang Zaizhong opened the child's skull and carefully cleaned the hematoma and reset the bone petals; without absorbing the skull lock, he used the smallest orthopedic Kerh needle to punch, and fixed the bone petal with silk thread. In the end, after two hours of hard work, the surgery ended smoothly.

When everyone escorted the children to the intensive care unit, it was already 3 am the next day. Although the operation has ended, Wang Zaizhong is still worried about the appearance of postoperative complications. Although it is the weekend, Wang Zaizhong went to the intensive care room in the intensive care unit every morning and evening to explain the precautions with local doctors. Two days after the operation, the child was transferred to the general ward, and the family members had a long -lost smile on the face of the family. Each time the room, he would express his gratitude to the medical team.
