Abstract

We report a case of a 27-week premature infant with necrotizing enterocolitis 28 days postpartum who underwent high-frequency oscillation-assisted ventilation anesthesia during surgery. Children born after the whole body's skin is blue, spontaneous breathing is weak, with a sigh breath, limb soft, oxygen desaturation under endotracheal intubation-assisted ventilation into the NICU. On the 20th day after the birth of children, abdominal distension sign of progression, merger, NEC. 22 days after birth oxygen saturation fluctuations in 80% to 90%, blood gas analysis in children with prompt acidosis is obvious, to correct acidosis, baking soda, at the same time with PaCO₂ prompt rise obviously, sputum, mechanical ventilation has been unable to maintain oxygenation, has been into high-frequency respirator assisted ventilation, respiratory frequency of 9 HZ, sputum suction, abdominal X-ray signs of intestinal obstruction, pediatric surgical consultation to laparotomy. Visit poor children to see children before anesthesia, bronze skin, through the mouth insert 3.5 endotracheal intubation mechanical assisted ventilation, abdominal plain film hint of peng of the children with abdominal significantly, abdominal veins, visible gastrointestinal type, high tension. Breathing machine Chang Pin ventilation by putting the children into the operating room, home bed immediately after connecting high-frequency ventilation, line ECG noninvasive arterial blood pressure SPO₂ (onset of each one) percutaneous CO₂ monitoring temperature monitoring of cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring. Intraoperative heat preservation, blood transfusion, and rehydration, sputum suction strong heart, in order to maintain stable hemodynamics and adjust the internal environment stable. The operation lasted only 38 minutes, safely back to NICU, put the patient on the evening the postoperative respiratory machine model had a high-frequency mode to Chang Pin auxiliary breathing machine, the second day postoperatively, children with open and body moving, stopped using positive inotropic drugs, continue to have a breathing machine auxiliary breath, at the same time strengthen parenteral nutrition support and anti-infection treatment, postoperative 3 months into the common ward, five months after hospital discharge. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation provides a new respiratory support method for newborns suffering from necrotizing enterocolitis, especially premature infants, and also buys valuable time for their subsequent treatment.
