Description
Qian Ya Xu and co-authors rebuild a pinched windpipe in a pre-term babe on a heart-lung rig, in a case report from 2024. Born-tight windpipes are rare and can kill. Cuts to fix them are the pick for bad cases, but in a babe of 1.47 kilos at 32 weeks, the risk soars.
The babe could not leave the breath tube in two tries. A scope showed the low windpipe pinched. The crew rebuilt it while a rig, ECMO, did the breath work, a first in China at that size, they note. A month on, added oxygen was gone. The stay was rough, with blood woes met by close care. A late scope showed the pipe clear. Frail does not bar the fix, the team shows.
