The Department of Pediatrics, Kinki University Hospital, detected congenital heart disease by remote diagnosis for two consecutive prenatal cases by remote diagnosis of fetal echo, and succeeded in radical surgery at a stage where the risk before onset was low.
Some congenital heart diseases become more severe after birth and account for 20% of neonatal deaths.Although it has been clarified that prenatal diagnosis of severe congenital heart disease can avoid fatal conditions, it is difficult for all obstetricians to make prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease.
Since 28, the Department of Pediatrics at Kinki University has been using a fetal echocardiographic diagnostic device to perform remote diagnosis for early detection of fetal heart disease through a network with a nearby maternity clinic.This is a system that allows pregnant women to consult with a specialist without having to move from their maternity hospital. I found it to be an aortic arch.After that, the pregnant woman gave birth at the same university's obstetrics and gynecology department, and after careful follow-up, she succeeded in radical surgery 28 weeks after birth.Both children were discharged energetically.The mother expresses her gratitude for being able to prepare herself before giving birth due to the early detection during pregnancy and for being able to have a baby in an environment where she can be seen by a specialist teacher at NICU.
