Having surgery can be frightening for anyone, but it's especially scary for kids who don't always understand what's going on, or what the grown-ups are saying. We're here to help!
Join Avrie, who had surgery at the Sacred Heart Children's Hospital pediatric surgery center in Spokane, WA. Maybe after watching and hearing her story, you and your kiddo will feel better about having surgery in the hospital.
Follow Avrie's trip - from check-in, vital signs and pre-op checks; meeting the doctor who will do his surgery, along with the anesthesiologist, surgery nurse and the Child Life Specialist; the trip to the Operating Room; waking up in the recovery room with his mom by his side; and getting ready to go home.

CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, is a treatment that uses mild air pressure to keep the airways open. CPAP typically is used by people who have breathing problems, such as sleep apnea. CPAP also may be used to treat preterm infants whose lungs have not fully developed.
Varicose veins are caused by weakened valves and veins in your legs. Normally, one-way valves in your veins keep blood flowing from your legs up toward your heart. When these valves do not work as they should, blood collects in your legs, and pressure builds up. The veins become weak, large, and twisted.
Bronchiectasis is an abnormal dilation of the proximal and medium-sized bronchi (>2 mm in diameter) caused by weakening or destruction of the muscular and elastic components of the bronchial walls. Affected areas may show a variety of changes, including transmural inflammation, edema, scarring, and ulceration, among other findings. Distal lung parenchyma may also be damaged secondary to persistent microbial infection and frequent postobstructive pneumonia. Bronchiectasis can be congenital but is most often acquired.[9] Congenital bronchiectasis usually affects infants and children. These cases result from developmental arrest of the bronchial tree. Acquired forms occur in adults and older children and require an infectious insult, impairment of drainage, airway obstruction, and/or a defect in host defense. The tissue is also damaged in part by the host response of neutrophilic proteases, inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, and oxygen radicals. This results in damage to the muscular and elastic components of the bronchial wall. Additionally, peribronchial alveolar tissue may be damaged, resulting in diffuse peribronchial fibrosis.[12] The result is abnormal bronchial dilatation with bronchial wall destruction and transmural inflammation. The most important functional finding of altered airway anatomy is severely impaired clearance of secretions from the bronchial tree. Impaired clearance of secretions causes colonization and infection with pathogenic organisms, contributing to the purulent expectoration commonly observed in patients with bronchiectasis. The result is further bronchial damage and a vicious cycle of bronchial damage, bronchial dilation, impaired clearance of secretions, recurrent infection, and more bronchial damage
While in residency, Marc Pelletier, MD, helped in a bypass surgery and knew it was the field in which he would excel. Watch as the Chief of Cardiac Surgery for University Hospitals Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute in Cleveland, Ohio explains, in detail, what happens in preparation for heart surgery, in the operating room and the feeling he experiences after surgery.
How does a heart-lung machine work? What is 'efficiency of motion'? These questions and more are answered in this compelling, dramatic look at heart surgery.

To treat your tinnitus, your doctor will first try to identify any underlying, treatable condition that may be associated with your symptoms. If tinnitus is due to a health condition, your doctor may be able to take steps that could reduce the noise. Examples include: Earwax removal.
Cardiac anesthesiology is a subspecialty of anesthesiology that entails caring for patients undergoing major heart surgeries, including those that require cardiopulmonary bypass. I made this video to show a cardiac anesthesiologist's typical setup for surgery.
