Doctors of the pediatric urgent often encounter cases where a foreign object should be removed from the body. “Children are plunging different things into different holes, sometimes it can be very dangerous,” Jakub Gécz said in the TASR TASR TASR Health Health Urgent of the National Institute of Child Diseases (NÚDCH) in Bratislava.
When the child eats a button flashlight or a magnetic ball, it is necessary to go to the doctor. “Charged flashlights, especially the button ones, are a big problem. There is no need to downplay and expect the baby to jump. It can remain stuck somewhere in the esophagus and make a hole in the chest,” pointed out. Similarly, it is with magnetic balls, which, when two or three get into the body, can connect and can quickly perform the mucosa.
Gécz met many and non -standard cases during his work. “We had a patient who shot his air with an air rifle, ashamed to say, and confessed the next day,” The doctor mentioned the case that ultimately turned out well, and although the projectile got on his head, he did not damage anything.
Doctors of the pediatric urgent treat mainly serious conditions that do not withdraw postponement. “As a rule, these are serious injuries, great allergic reactions, consciousness disorders, and these are also things that cannot be postponed to the next day,” specified. It often happens that there are cases that do not belong there.
Outside working days, patients also have an emergency service outpatient clinic dealing with conditions that would be otherwise dealt with by the general practitioner. “If the child has a temperature of three hours or coughs, or a rash has occurred, these are the conditions that treat the emergency room,” explained.
Parents also have the opportunity to call the patient an ambulance. “If a child has a serious breathing problem, he cannot drink, suffocates with coughing or preserves the lips, Alternatively, if it is a larger child who is unable to say two continuous sentences and we see that it does not rule, that is why it is necessary to call an ambulance to number 155 or 112, ”said the expert.
When a child gets to the urgent department, whether he / she is imported by an ambulance or his parents come with him, he will go through a triament, where he / she is ranked on a waiting waiting. “In the urgena it is not true that the one who comes before will get to the doctor. said the doctor.
However, even in the waiting room, the patient is monitored after the initial consultation and will receive medications when necessary. “When we know that the child has come at forty temperatures, we will give him a medicine to lower the temperature, and even if he is waiting in the waiting room, we are continuously checking the temperature to see if he was falling. If his health gets worse, we can intervene immediately,” explained. A doctors of the pediatric urgent treat an average of 55,000 children annually, of which more than 80 percent leave after home treatment.
