Sharjah24: Al Qassimi Women and Children Hospital in Sharjah successfully saved the life of a newborn suffering from a rare medical condition in the respiratory system since birth.

The newborn baby had abnormal lungs with ascites and a lung cyst in the left one. He stayed in the hospital for ten months and underwent a successful complex surgery. 

A multidisciplinary team was assigned to deal with the infant's condition, in addition to the nursing and physiotherapy staff.

The medical team resorted to "NAVA" ventilation technology to eliminate high-frequency ventilation support and make the surgery possible, especially when it was classified as almost impossible due to the infant's situation. Two weeks later, the decision was made to remove the abnormal cystic left lung, despite its sensitivity due to the high risks during surgery and the possibility of death during and after surgery.

After the surgery, the infant was subjected to follow-up on his condition around the clock and to address post-operative complications, contributing to efficiently overcoming the stage of danger.
