Ms. Zhao’s little daughter is only nine months old, some time ago diarrhea, five days after the pulling, suddenly inexplicable crying, how to coax no use, crying and vomiting after half a day, but also a jam-colored thin paste stool. This time Ms. Zhao panicked and rushed to the hospital to investigate, but it was intestinal entrapment. The doctor used the method of water pressure enema treatment under ultrasound, and the enema was successfully rectified, and the baby was discharged from the hospital two days later. The doctor said it was good that the treatment was timely and the baby avoided the knife that broke his belly and opened his intestines.
The baby is prone to develop within 2 years of age. Intussusception refers to a section of the intestinal tube snapped into the cavity of the intestine connected with it, and causes an obstacle to the passage of intestinal contents. Clinical observation shows that intussusception is common within 2 years of age, and is best in infants and children aged 4-10 months, especially fat babies. Intussusception is one of the most common acute abdominal conditions in infancy and early childhood, prone to recurrence and can lead to severe intestinal necrosis, intestinal perforation, electrolyte disturbances and even life threatening.
“Intussusception is mainly caused by gastrointestinal and respiratory viral infections, and is most likely to be triggered during seasonal changes.” According to Zhou Wei, “Another predisposing factor is active intestinal peristalsis in children, which can occur at the age of adding complementary foods due to intestinal peristaltic disturbances.”
The three most prominent clinical symptoms of intussusception are paroxysmal abdominal pain, vomiting and jam-colored, thin, mushy stools. “If a healthy infant or toddler suddenly develops the above symptoms, especially paroxysmal abdominal pain or crying, crying for a few minutes and relieving for ten minutes in paroxysmal episodes, the possibility of having intussusception should be thought of and should not be delayed and should be seen immediately at a specialist hospital.”
The company’s main goal is to provide a comprehensive range of products and services to the public. “We should pay attention to scientific feeding, do not be too hungry or too full, do not change food at will, add supplementary food in a gradual manner, and promote breastfeeding. Parents should be highly alert to the occurrence of diarrhea, and at the same time pay attention to changes in climate, increase or decrease clothing at any time, and avoid various undesirable factors that can easily induce intestinal motility disorders.”
At present, the main method of treating intussusception is to perform enemas, and the more mature ones are air enema under X-ray fluoroscopy and water pressure enema under B-ultrasound. The fact that ultrasound is radiation-free will reassure more parents than air enemas under X-ray fluoroscopy.
