With great love and precision technology to benefit the people

--Free treatment for children with congenital heart disease is upgraded again

   Coronary heart disease has caused many people to deviate from the normal track of life, and caused many families to become poor due to the disease, making their lives dark! Easy to catch a cold, poor growth and development, poor physical strength, like squatting, heart murmur, or fainting and hemoptysis, and so on and so forth, the trouble is heavy. Children with prevalent heart disease are an even more special group, and the disease forces them to stay away from school and kindergarten and undergo prolonged treatment in hospitals. The loss of joy of children and the economic burden of medical treatment are like a cloud over some unfortunate families. Now, Liaocheng No. 2 Hospital has changed this situation, and the thoracic cardiology department of the hospital has enabled these families to lead a happy life by virtue of its leading diagnostic and treatment technology in the region and its completely free service model.



Focus on technological innovation

As one of the key disciplines of Liaocheng No.2 Hospital, the Department of Thoracic Surgery, under the leadership of the discipline leader Cheng Siqiang, strives for research, hard work and innovation. Its technology of valve replacement and bypass has been at the leading level in the west of Shandong and south of Hebei, especially in the treatment of congenital heart disease with unique features. The advanced technologies such as interventional minimally invasive blockage of congenital heart disease, artificial blood vessel replacement plus intra-aortic coated stent implantation for arterial coarctation (Stanford A type), and coronary artery bypass grafting, etc., are at the leading level in the neighboring regions.

At the beginning of 2014, all the medical staff of the Department of Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery earnestly practiced the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress, and according to the guideline of “Relying on the technological progress to become bigger and stronger, and to realize the rapid leapfrog development” formulated by the hospital, they actively pioneered, assiduously researched and studied the professional technology, and carried out a batch of new technologies in just more than 2 months' time, which achieved good double benefits and won wide public support and support. In a short period of more than 2 months, a number of new technologies were developed, which achieved good double benefits and won wide acclaim from the society.

A total of 4 cases of Stanford A-type aortic coarctation surgical treatment were carried out, and the operation style was general anesthesia, deep and low extracorporeal circulation, selective cerebral perfusion under the aortic valvuloplasty + full arch replacement + distal elephant trunk stent placement, etc., which were all successful. It marked the new level of thoracic cardiothoracic surgery in Liaocheng City No.2 Hospital; carried out hybridization surgery for thoracic aortic aneurysm rupture, and bilateral common carotid artery diversion plus aortic membrane stenting in 1 case. The operation was performed under general anesthesia with bilateral common carotid artery diversion and aortic membrane stenting, and was successful! In addition, the department has successfully completed one case of congenital heart disease (aortic arch disruption type A correction) and one case of permanent pacemaker placement in infants and children. The former was performed under general anesthesia deep hypothermia extracorporeal circulation under hemi-suspension for aortic arch interruption correction and ventricular septal defect repair, and the latter was performed under general anesthesia for epicardial permanent pacemaker placement. These two techniques have reached the leading level in China!

Specialization is only for the sake of refinement! In order to develop a more specialized specialty, the department was sub-specialized in accordance with the hospital's deployment, and the department was divided into two sub-specialized groups: general thoracic surgery and cardiac macrovascular surgery. With this foundation and some ideas, we have reason to believe that a leap forward in the development of the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the Second Hospital will soon be displayed in front of the world!

Building a bridge of love for the heart

Free medical treatment, in the city of the second hospital has long been no myth, and the free treatment of congenital heart disease action is to realize the free “to see the big disease”! As early as seven or eight years ago, the hospital aimed at the congenital heart disease this consistent weakness of the stubborn disease of poverty, thoracic cardiothoracic surgery in Liaocheng and the surrounding areas was the first to carry out pediatric congenital heart disease of eight thousand yuan “dry” treatment program, won a good social reputation. 2012 May, and as a designated treatment hospital in Liaocheng City, under the age of 14 years old with congenital heart disease. In May 2012, the hospital was designated to provide free treatment for children under 14 years of age with congenital heart disease in Liaocheng City, and now the scope of treatment has been further extended to children covered by urban health insurance. Liaocheng City No. 2 Hospital has successfully treated more than 100 cases of children with congenital heart disease, effectively reducing the burden on patients and solving the plight of families with children suffering from congenital heart disease due to poverty.

Until now, the hospital's free rescue activities for children with congenital heart disease are still ongoing, and the public's word of mouth is also constantly singing this good deed. 6-year-old Jun Jun is one of the children rescued free of charge, and is also the first case of free treatment in the activities of the Linqing city outside of the (Guanxian County) children. When Jun Jun was four months old, her parents found that her lips were blue and purple, and after examination, they learned that Jun Jun suffered from a serious congenital heart disease, tetralogy of Fallot. As an ordinary rural family, they were unable to pay the high cost of treatment. The child's condition has been so delayed, the family's heart has been so gripped! When they were close to despair, Director Cheng of the Department of Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery learned of the family's difficult situation and found that Jun was fully eligible for the aid, so he immediately reported the case to the hospital leadership, and after approval, Jun received free surgical treatment. After the surgery, June recovered and is in good condition. Seeing that their child can live like a normal child, the smile on the parents' faces was more than sweet!

There are many other children like Junjun, and this activity will bring new life to children with congenital heart disease from poor families. It is reported that, where suffering from congenital atrial septal defect, congenital ventricular septal defect, congenital ductus arteriosus, congenital pulmonary stenosis, one of the Fallot's tetralogy of Liaocheng City, participate in the insurance of children under 14 years of age with congenital heart disease can be Liaocheng City, the second hospital to receive free treatment.

Three-dimensional diagnosis and treatment service

In order to further facilitate the treatment of children with congenital heart disease, so that “free treatment of major diseases” to benefit more people, the city hospital also from a variety of perspectives, the establishment of a “three-dimensional” mode of diagnosis and treatment services. Through the establishment of pediatric coronary heart disease outpatient clinic in the pediatric clinic area, the maximum degree of convenience for patients to see a doctor, so that children get more adequate treatment, which grasps the early detection of coronary heart disease, early treatment of the pulse; the hospital's clinical departments and the Department of Surgery to formulate a rigorous clinical path of treatment of congenital heart disease, in and out of the path of strict norms, which ensures the quality of the operation, shortens the patient's hospitalization time, reducing the incidence of complications, and at the same time, also to eliminate the excessive charges and excessive treatment, to ensure that This ensures the quality of surgery, shortens the hospitalization time of patients, reduces the occurrence of complications, and at the same time, eliminates overcharging and over-treatment, and guarantees the healthy and sustainable development of treatment activities; the hospital organizes the cardiothoracic surgery department and the cardiology department to carry out joint room inspections and joint case discussions, etc., which is an innovative mode of work that enables the two departments to realize the complementary advantages of each other's work, and provides patients with more effective and reasonable diagnosis and treatment plans; the hospital continues to lead the regional technological progress, and interacts with the brotherhood of hospitals effectively. The hospital will also invite neighboring physicians to participate in academic exchanges on the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease and heart disease, which will improve the diagnosis and treatment level of physicians and at the same time drive the treatment level of heart disease in the whole region to a higher level!

Benefit all over the people's heart is real, the people's heart is real is my peace of mind! Liaocheng City No. 2 Hospital and the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the hospital is such a practical action to practice the line of the masses, the bosom of love, fine skills to benefit the people, the hospital in the treatment of congenital heart disease technical advantages and dedication to the concept of playing to the extreme, to more children with congenital heart disease to bring the hope of life, to more families to send a moving gospel is the second hospital is the road ahead of the another solid footprints!
