In the Moscow region, doctors saved a girl from death, who had difficulty breathing due to a cold. Said by this Telegram channel “Attention, Moscow”.
The operation, which was shown to a 22-year-old patient with epiglottitis, acute inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and a sharp narrowing of the lumen of the larynx, took place in the Podolsk hospital. The girl, who applied to the doctors with complaints of difficulty in breathing and sore throat, was urgently referred to the intensive care unit for emergency medical intervention.
According to the source, the patient stopped breathing while on the operating table. Then doctors had to resort to conicotomy.
“Within a few minutes, he had a conicotomy that opened the lumen of his airway. A breathing tube was then inserted through the neck incision. In the second stage, we opened the patient’s epiglottis abscess and a week later we removed the breathing tube,” explained the head of the ENT department.
At the moment, the girl continues treatment, feels well and is preparing for discharge.
