Treatment of ascites in test tube infants
Test tube baby ascites is a serious fetal dysplasia, which will bring great risk to the child's life. Therefore, early detection and treatment of ascites is essential. The following will elaborate on the treatment of test tube baby ascites from fetal surgery, drug treatment, ascites drainage and other auxiliary treatments.
1. Surgical treatment of fetus
Fetal surgery is an effective treatment for test tube babies with ascites. Fetal surgery can eliminate ascites by puncturing the abdominal wall or amniotic cavity to alleviate fetal symptoms. Some well-known hospitals in China, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Children's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, have advanced fetal surgical equipment and technical teams. These hospitals will use accurate and safe surgical techniques to provide timely treatment for children with ascites according to the specific situation of the fetus.
Fetal surgical treatment can significantly improve the condition of children and reduce the incidence of complications. However, it should also be noted that fetal surgery is risky and needs to be conducted under the guidance of professional doctors to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
2. Drug treatment
Drug therapy is one of the commonly used methods for IVF ascites. Drugs can reduce ascites accumulation by promoting urine production and excretion. Potassium citrate and diuretic ketone are commonly used diuretic drugs, which can effectively reduce hydrops in the fetus.
Drug treatment usually needs to be carried out under the monitoring of doctors, because the dosage and use method need to be precisely controlled to avoid adverse effects on the fetus. Side effects such as swelling, retention of water and sodium, and renal insufficiency also need close attention.
3. Ascites drainage
Ascites drainage is to drain the accumulated ascites out of the body by puncturing the abdominal wall to alleviate the symptoms of the fetus and reduce the pressure of ascites on organs. Ascites drainage is usually performed in the hospital through percutaneous puncture or laparoscopic surgery.
The drainage process needs doctors' precise operation and careful monitoring to avoid complications such as infection and bleeding. Therefore, it is very important to select experienced hospitals and doctors for operation.
Some studies have shown that compared with fetal surgery, ascites drainage can alleviate the symptoms of the fetus earlier, but the fundamental treatment effect of ascites is less than that of the extremities and requires multiple operations.
4. Other auxiliary treatment
In addition to the above treatment methods, IVF ascites can also be treated with other adjuvant treatments to help children recover. For example, nutritional support and growth hormone treatment can increase the resistance and growth of the fetus, thus promoting recovery.
Other adjuvant treatments include psychological support and family care. Psychological support can help parents alleviate anxiety and stress, and maintain a positive attitude towards the treatment process. Family care includes providing children with a good living environment and care, and providing appropriate rehabilitation training and rehabilitation care.
Summary
Test tube baby ascites is a complex disease, which requires comprehensive treatment. Fetal surgery, medication, ascites drainage and other adjuvant treatments are common treatments. It is very important to select experienced hospitals and doctors for diagnosis and treatment. Early detection and treatment of ascites can reduce the occurrence of complications and improve the survival rate and quality of life of children.
