summary

Recently, my friend is always coughing. His family and I are very worried about him. I suggest that he go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. He told me today that the result of examination was bronchial balloon stenosis. You want to suggest that he have a balloon bronchodilation. Today, I'd like to talk about the cost of balloon dilatation.

How much is bronchus balloon dilation

First: the specific steps of balloon dilation airway plasty: after sufficient local anesthesia or general anesthesia, the balloon catheter selected in advance should be sent to the trachea or bronchus of the narrow segment through the operation channel of bronchoscope or guided by guide wire, and the position of the far and near ends of the balloon catheter should be determined just behind the two ends of the narrow segment.

Second: start to inject water into the balloon with the gun pump. The pressure of injecting water into the balloon with the gun pump can be 3-5 atmospheres (usually increasing from low to high in turn). The time for each balloon to keep expanding is 1-32 minutes. Generally, the time for the first inflation can be shorter, preferably 1 minute. After the first inflation, according to the diameter of the narrow part.

Third: after confirming that there is no obvious bleeding, the balloon can be filled repeatedly. Generally, each operation can be filled 3-4 times repeatedly. If the airway diameter increases significantly after balloon deflation, the operation is immediately successful. If the airway diameter does not increase significantly after balloon deflation, balloon dilatation can be performed 1-2 weeks later. The specific cost is about 5000 yuan, but the specific situation should go to the local surgery hospital for detailed consultation.
