The doctors of Prince Sultan Cardiac
Center Qassim’s Department of Pediatric Cardiology saved the life of a
newborn suffering from hypoxia. Hypoxia is known to be a condition where
there is low oxygen in the tissues. Without oxygen, the brain, liver, and
other organs can be damaged as well. In this case, the doctors performed an
urgent intervention to save the life of a newborn weighing 3kg who had a
hypoxia with severe pulmonary artery pressure. With the carrying risks and
threats of the said condition, the baby was immediately intervened by
connecting the veins to the left atrium. With God's grace and mercy, the
operation was successful. After the stability of the baby's condition,
he was then discharged from the hospital.
It is worth noting that this type
of cardiac intervention in newborns is considered as one of the most complex
medical interventions. PSCCQ is glad to be one of the specialized centers in
the Kingdom that can perform this kind of operation. Thus, the center is
doing its best to save the lives of their patients in all the ways that they
can. After all, it is their responsibility to treat and to serve. The
management and staff of the center also ask God to bless all their patients
with good health and wellness.
