Confirmation: In general, echocardiography can confirm the diagnosis, but choose a larger heart center for the test. If in doubt, you should try another hospital, or at least twice. CT exams are not easily done, there is radiation damage. Timing of treatment: Children can certainly be observed if they are well developed, well fed, and not susceptible to colds. On the contrary, although the age and weight is small, only surgery can be performed. Do not come to the queue in high season if the child’s condition allows. Surgical approach: complex precordial disease, even with biventricular repair, usually involves the use of artificial materials and, in the future, the possibility of multiple surgeries; and single ventricular repair, which requires at least two surgeries to achieve physiological correction. Therefore, parents have to undergo staged surgery. After the first surgery, the hypoxia improves and the child develops better; the second time, the “root cause” is cured. Although multiple surgeries are required, the state may have better health insurance policies in the future and science is advancing, so don’t overthink the difficulties. Risk/success rate: I understand “risk” as a concept: “Success rate is just a probability, a number, for a child, there are only two options: 100% and 0. A doctor with a 100% success rate is not a good doctor, because he lies. Parents must be able to take risks. Choosing a surgeon: ask around, or check through the internet, to see where they can do heart surgery, and pay attention to the number of annual surgeries performed at that hospital, usually the quantity is high enough to get quality. Don’t be biased. Do not throw yourself at doctors. Big professors, of course, operate beautifully. But it is rare to be able to get the opportunity to ask him to do surgery. Every doctor will be willing to operate on a patient who trusts him or her. Conversely, a patient who does not trust a doctor should not ask him or her to operate on you. Communication: In general, I will give a cell phone number. Of course, unexplained phone calls early in the morning and late at night are not welcomed by anyone. Hospitalization costs: The fees for each specific program are standardized by the state. But children are different, and the treatment, materials used, and how many items are charged will not be exactly the same from center to center. In general, most discharged patients find the cost here to be lower than expected. Pre-hospitalization preparation: Jane precocious disease, which has been clearly diagnosed and treated, does not need to be hospitalized very early in order to avoid the arrangement of surgery due to cross-infection in the ward due to cross-infection, which triggers the child’s cold. It is better to do the laboratory tests and chest X-ray; contact the local medical insurance department to find out what documents are needed for future reimbursement of medical expenses; prepare a cell phone number in Beijing that is open 24 hours a day. Hotel: Stay in a hotel with good conditions while waiting for a bed; after the child is hospitalized, only female parents are allowed to stay with the child in the ward, while male parents can choose a cheaper accommodation. On the day of the operation: find out from the surgeon how the operation went, and stay up late waiting near the hospital. After the operation: In general, the child is in the care unit until discharge. There are no special circumstances, parents are advised to visit the surrounding Bird’s Nest, Water Cube, and even go to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall, in addition to sending the child the necessities daily and checking in with the doctor once a day about his condition. Relax and refresh for post-discharge care; if the child is recovering well and the parents are in the hospital all day, worrying and wasting great time. Checkout: A day or two before the expected discharge, check if the deposit is sufficient. For children sponsored by the foundation, wait for a separate notification when they are discharged from the hospital. Discharge with medication General medication: digoxin, furosemide, spironolactone, potassium chloride Simple disease, take about one month as per, contact, reduce and stop medication Complex, severe disease, take three months, review, reduce, review again, stop medication Reduce medication, reduce three times a day to twice a day, or reduce half a tablet each time to a quarter of a tablet each time Stop medication, generally stop one first, observe for about a week, then stop one Special medication, such as aspirin, cannot Other antibiotics, myocardial drugs, immunity-boosting drugs, can be eaten to stop Self-prepared drugs: go to the pharmacy near the hospital, prepare some good common drugs, such as fresh bamboo leach, pediatric cold granules, Tong Ren Tang’s pediatric cold oral liquid, autumn pear cream, pediatric lung clearing oral liquid, to the treasure pill. Observation: eat, drink, play and sleep, parents can hardly see the bruising, edema, heart rate. Nutrition: normal feeding, do not “food supplementation”. Incision protection: after the removal of the stitches, three days after the bath, do not touch the scabs on the wound Scar: you can use the Mepi care, two weeks after surgery, with three months chicken breast, first to the surgery hospital to see if it belongs to the normal range. Insist on calcium supplementation. You can use chest plate and chicken chest treatment device. You can consult with the children’s hospital thoracic surgeon, usually slowly will be fine. Diet amount: early need to control, gradually relax, eat less and more meals. Review: one month, simple local examination, if there are problems, contact again; three months, local echocardiogram, orthopantomogram, ECG, if there are problems, contact; regardless of the test results, the key is the child’s state, not the number. Follow-up: keep in touch online. Vaccination: After one month after surgery, vaccination or catch-up on time. Sickness: Children with normal hearts get sick too, just treat them as they do. If you don’t think about eating or have diarrhea, you need to reduce diuretics.
