blue baby syndrome?

Question

what is the surgical process for treating blue baby syndrome
pls step by step in easy english

Answer 1

First of all I have to ask, do you plan on performing this surgery yourself? When you ask for a simple step by step process, I assure you that if it was simple, anyone could do it.

Blue baby syndrome is caused by embryological malformations of the heart, specifically termed the teratology of fallot. Which includes, a ventricular septal defect (meaning that the wall between the right and left ventricles isn't completely closed), pulmonary stenosis (meaning the pulmonary trunk coming off the right ventricle is smaller than normal), overriding aorta (the aorta "hogs" some of the blood coming from the right ventricle, due to VSD), and lastly right ventricular atrophy (the right ventricle has reduced muscle).

Now how is it treated:

patient is anesthetized

Incision is made in the midline of the anterior wall of the chest.

The sternum is cut in half and the ribs and sternum are moved laterally to expose the medistinum (the middle area of the chest).

The heart is then accessed by incisions in the layers encasing the heart.

an incision is made on the surface of the heart at the right ventricle

the VSD (ventricular septal defect) is repaired by using a gortex patch or homograph (a graph of tissue from the individual) to close the septum between the right and left ventricle to prevent a mixing of blood which has returned from peripheral circulation with blood in the left ventricle which came from the pulmonary circulation.

Next the stenosis (narrowing) of the pulmonary trunk is repaired through incisions and graphs, and the aorta is shunted through closure of the communication between the aorta and the pulmonary trunk, this is done so it does not mix with blood in the pulmonary trunk.

The patient is closed up and prepped for post operative treatment.

if I was an actually surgeon (which some day I hope to be) I could give you an even more details.

Answer 2

No. that is often a demonstration of a concern with the midsection, now not a ailment and not maximum cancers the two. often that could be a sickness contained in the form of the midsection or from time to time with premies, the difficulty is contained in the lungs or the lungs and the midsection collectively. it may additionally come from eating too a lot nitrate so as that the blood won't be able to hold oxygen so nicely.

Answer 3

you would transfuse the fetus while it is still inside the womb. a need attached to a syringe filled with compatible blood (compatible with the mother) would be injected into the infant. i'm not sure of the site, but it's probably the umbilical cord.

Answer 4

i dunno but thanks for the 2 pts. I hope you won't perform the surgical procedure tomorrow on a patient
