Patient's question:
During the prenatal check-up, the doctor recommended a detailed Down syndrome screening, saying there was a need to pay attention to the child's condition. For patients with Down syndrome undergoing surgery, what precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome is a common chromosomal disorder. The purpose of Down syndrome screening is to detect the possibility of the fetus having Down syndrome as early as possible. 60% of affected children die in the early stages of pregnancy with significant intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, growth and development disorders, and a high risk of deformities. Therefore, after surgery, it is necessary to address the issue of bedwetting and effective deep breathing and proper coughing can reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Prevention work should be learned first.
