Thanks to the well-coordinated work of specialists and timely high-tech medical care, it was possible to save the child's life
With this anomaly, through a defect in the diaphragm, the abdominal organs are displaced into the chest, compressing the lungs and disrupting their development. This leads to severe respiratory and cardiovascular insufficiency already in the first hours of the child's life.
Despite the achievements of modern medicine, mortality in this pathology reaches 40-50%.
The child was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit of the СRCH on the first day of life in extremely serious condition, on a ventilator, with pronounced respiratory and cardiovascular insufficiency.
After stabilization of the patient's condition, he was urgently examined and operated on. Surgeons restored the abdominal organs to an anatomically correct position and fixed the diaphragm defect.
