The baby, named the new month-old
Samaa Zahir when doctors decided he should be operated on, otherwise
the consequences can be fatal: death.
Already since birth, the condition of abnormal Samaa. Blood vessels that drain into the heart are connected in the wrong way. It should be, the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left side of the heart. That happened, quite the contrary.
However,
operated on baby heart size is smaller than a golf ball is clearly a
major challenge for doctors from Great Ormond Street Hospital, London. A revolutionary breakthrough finally decided: this baby is frozen to death.
Samaa made suspended. How,
the doctor put a pouch containing the ice around the baby's head-the
blood is cooled down from normal temperature, 37 degrees Celsius to 18
degrees, use a bypass of the heart and lungs.
Not only that, the doctors determined that also stopped the heartbeat by injecting drugs and turn off the engine bypass. At this point, clinically, Samaa telahmeninggal baby world. His body was almost completely run out of blood.
Meanwhile, the cardiothoracic surgeon Tain Hsia-Yen and his team had to work against the clock. Maximum
safety Windows (maximum window of safety) is 50 minutes-before this
rattlesnake should be heart direstartuntuk prevent damage to brain and
internal organs.
Fortunately, Samaa not had to wait 50 minutes to live again. The doctor managed to bring it back to the world in a time of 23 minutes.
After
the machine is switched on, the warm blood and restoring direct
terpompa to the point of normal body temperature, 37 degrees Celsius. The heart of the tiny back beats.
Why is Samaa must be frozen? According to Hsia, Doctor medical team should perform a micro surgery. Because, they are dealing with blood vessels as thin as rice paper (rice paper). The only way that can be done is to freeze the body and stop blood circulation so that patients get into a phase of hipothermia.
"It's like putting the baby into a bucketful of water ice. While stopping the heart, we have to conduct operations as soon as possible with a high degree of precision, "he said. "There is no room doing the slightest mistake."
