Difficult airways can be caused by a variety of conditions, including congenital abnormalities, foreign body obstruction, trauma, infections, and tumors. These conditions can make it difficult for the patient to breathe, and in some cases, can be life-threatening.
Bronchoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows the medical team to visualize the airways. The Pediatric Difficult Airway Bronchoscopy Diagnosis and Intervention offer innovative medical technology to diagnose and treat difficult airway diseases in premature infants, newborns, and children.
The goal of pediatric bronchoscopy diagnosis and intervention is to provide timely and effective treatment to pediatric patients with difficult airway issues and to ensure the best possible outcomes for these patients.
The medical team employs a unique approach, "Pharyngeal oxygen-Nose pinch-Abdominal compression ventilation", to maintain an unobstructed natural airway during bronchoscopy. Additionally, the bronchoscopy and intervention instruments can be placed in the airway simultaneously, allowing for immediate intervention.
The medical team's services are targeted toward all kinds of airway diseases, including laryngomalacia, tracheal stenosis/malacia, bronchial stenosis/malacia, difficult weaning from the mechanical ventilator, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), etc.
The medical team comprises pediatric pulmonary and intensive care physicians, pediatric surgeons, nurses, respiratory therapists, rehabilitation specialists, pharmacists, nutritionists, and social workers to provide a comprehensive, high-quality, and multidisciplinary approach to respiratory critical care for children.
"Pediatric Bronchoscopy Diagnosis and Intervention" in Taipei Veterans General Hospital has been awarded the "Symbol of National Quality (SNQ)" in recognition of safety and quality standards.
