summary

Children's health is the most important concern of parents. After all, every child is the mother's heart. Experts say intestinal intussusception is a high incidence rate in recent years, and it is a disease that people are especially concerned about. Especially about its treatment. How is infantile intussusception treated? Now, let's invite experts to give a detailed introduction.

How is infantile intussusception treated?

For good general condition, air or liquid (barium) enema can be performed immediately. Air or liquid (barium) enema is not only a diagnosis but also a reduction method. However, this method is not feasible for patients with membranous inflammation, intestinal perforation, sepsis and suspected intestinal necrosis. Because the longer the duration of these symptoms, the smaller the possibility of enema reduction, the greater the risk.

After successful reduction, it is necessary to take charcoal tablets orally, observe their discharge, and inform their parents. Whether it is enema or surgery, recurrence may occur after successful reduction. Once it occurs, a thick needle should be inserted immediately at the midpoint of the line between xiphoid process and umbilicus to relieve tension and exhaust, and emergency operation should be performed.

For children with shock or peritonitis symptoms, or enema reduction failure, the need for laparotomy in patients, we must use this method. Before using this method, we should use gastrointestinal decompression, intravenous infusion and prophylactic antibiotics. The advantage of this operation is that the success rate of enema reduction is almost the same or even slightly higher in patients with recurrent intussusception without surgical treatment history. Recurrent patients usually see a doctor earlier, with mild symptoms, only discomfort and irritability. Surgical reduction or intestinal resection were less recurrence.
