He stayed without legs by a medical error

Even had not fulfilled two years when Lydia Cross was transferred to hospital Chippenham, in the locality of British re-Wiltshi, suffering from high fever and vomiting. The doctors diagnosed a virus very mild common in children, so that sent home twice.

When the medical team finally succeeded in his diagnosis, an infectious meningitis caused by the bacterium haemopiíilus infiuenzae type 8, the disease had progressed as part of the fabric was already poisoned, forcing both his legs amputated. After a tough campaign, parents have managed to raise sufficient funds to equip his daughter two prostheses that will alleviate the suffering of small.

Before that there immunization, FIA-mophilus infiuenzae was considered the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children under five. The disease is highly characteristic in an age range between the first month of life and 4 years.

Implant of Silicon - Everything that to make before this cirugy

The silicon prosthesis, is a supplementation carried out with a strange material to the body with a certain feature. In the case of the mammas (implants of more usual silicon nowadays), padded prosthesis is used with silicona in gel to increase the volume of the breast tissue. The cirujía for which are carried out ésto, is named breast implant of silicona prosthesis. Currently the prostheses have different forms (previously they were only spherical): of drop, flat, of high profile. This is due to that each patient has a different necessity to increase your size.

You are about an ambulatory, but not hence smaller operation. One can make to any age and in any moment of the year. You should be made in a quirófano, with professional rigorous control and pre-surgical analysis. You are carried out with a general sedation more the crazy anaesthesia, and in some cases with general anesthesia. The allocation of the prosthesis is carried out through an incision in the mamma, existing three incicines classes: The submammary one that are carried out in the wrinkle below the mamma (you are that most used one); the periareolar, in the inferior semi circle of the mammary areola; and the axillary, only access channel that don't leave visible cicatríz, but and the one that bigger difficulty offers to assure the correct position of the implant.

As for the retrieval, the patient leaves to the house with a wrapped top. Not it should be hit neither to be given bathrooms deinmersión, and you should avoid the excessive movement. To the third day the first cure is made; then, he/she can already take a shower and to recapture your habitual tasks. The operation is not invalidating for the pain, for what to the fourth day lapersona can return to the work. The total retrieval is of around the sixty days. Then, handicaps don't exist to make sport, for example.

The surgical risks of this intervention, are the same ones that any other operation. In some cases, you are temporary loss of the sensibility in the scaring field. They can also be anomalous (keloids) scars, but ésto you depend of how you heal the patient's skin. Then the risks characteristic of the intervention type are: asymmetry of the mammas and later encapsulamiento.

You are important to also highlight that the implant of mammary prosthesis doesn't impede the nursing. With the current quality of this class of implants, you are difficult that you have silicona leak toward the milk.

Another point in which suit to make stress, is in the fact that borders exist as for the volume of the prosthesis. If a bigger volume is included the one that the skin can contain naturally, they increase the risks that the wound opens up and exist complications. In each case, beyond the patient's will, you are instructions and on borders for the physician.

Deafness

You consist on the forfeiture or decrease of the auditory sense. The transmission deafness, the deafness of perception and the combined deafness exist.

The transmission deafness affects the extraneous hearing and the mean. The most frequent lawsuits in the same one are: the plug of wax (collection of ceruminous substance that when being deposited in the external auditory canal and to cork it, you drive to the deafness whose appearance is in a very sharp way and generally after an immersion bathroom, since then the water softens the plug of wax dilating it and in consecuancia it corks the referred conduit), the foreign bodies, the otoesclerosis and the extraneous otitis and you mediate. In the case of plug of wax, you are only generally the physician who can proceed to your extraction, half pr of a laundry with tepid water. To claim your extraction with pincers or ganchillos, you only drive to insert it more toward inside.

The same thing happens with the foreign bodies, especially in the children who insert in the external auditory canal rubber pieces of deleting, papers, necklace accounts, piedrecitas, lapicera mines, peas, etc., and they frequently hide this circumstance to the parents fearing one reprehended. Never debit side to attempt the extraction of the foreign bodies for inexpert hands, since the maneuvers for they are it difficult and a deeper penetration is only achieved, with possibility of to perforate the drum membrane and to produce a half otitis then. The expert should only be the manager of your extraction, or the general thing very laborious, because in occasions you/he/she becomes even necessary the general anestecia, for the fear or unruliness of the petty one.

In the case of animated foreign bodies - as an insect for example - the maximum thing that it can be made before going to the physician you are to instill in the hearing some drops of oleum, in order to asphyxiate the intruder and to liberate this way the patient of the pain that cause you the same one when moving or to even avoid that you attack the drum membrane.

The otoesclerosis is a very frequent lawsuit of transmission deafness that affect women especially and that you consist in that one of the bones of the half hearing, compound number stirrup, is fixed, without movement possibility, and in deprived consequence of transmitting the sound wave to the interior hearing. Your only tatamiento at the present time is the surgical one, by means of the replacement of the one referred stirrup by another mechanism mavible (polytene bush, tantalum wire, etc.), that you allow the step of the sound wave.

The deafness of perception, affects the interior hearing and in occasions it is also retro labyrinthine, to the one it turns affected the auditory own ledge. The most frequent lawsuits that provoke it are the cranial, vascular traumatisms - arteriosclerosis - and infections - certain viruses, for example that of the parotiditis or mumps, meningitis -; the toxics also contribute to such deafness, without forgetting the calls professional deafness, characteristic of individuals whose work in noisy environments causes you an acoustic trauma - boilermakers, planchistas - and finally the call "presbiacusia" that are the deafness presenil or senile.


The combined deafness, are those quie they enter both dysfunction types, that is to say, the transmission deafness and that of perception.

The grade of deafness of a patient can only be qualified by the expert by means of the studio with the tuning forks and the audiometría. Thanks to this, a chart transmitted by an electric apparatus settle down, the audiometer, which allow the physician to trace a graph - audiogram - in the one that the hearing losses are studied in the different frequencies, from the serious notes until the acute one, to different intensities.

Once calibrated the deafness for the expert, will be this who will indicate the treatment to continue that will be able to be: physician, surgical, or based on the allocation of a hearing aid or prosthesis in the hearing that he/she believe more opportune.
