RD (Respiratory Distress) in children series #1

Starting series of short videos of Diagnostic Bronchoscopy (DB) for Respiratory Distress (RD) in children.
RD in children has always remained enigmatic with wide spectrum of causes. Spectrum includes medical as well as surgical perspective.
Detailed history of exact events from parents, observations, physical examination and relevant investigations gives some clue. But evaluation of Upper Airway with Diagnostic Bronchoscopy becomes mandatory to establish the diagnosis and one may end up with many surprieses!
Will share edited short videos of various causes of RD one by one every few days. This is an attempt to sensitize interested person about various lesions with purely an educational purpose.

case of Duodenal hematoma # 3 years old male child presented with persistent vomiting since 12 days. He had history blunt abdominal injury due to fall of two wheeler on his abdomen before 15 days. He was treated conservatively for 10 days but didn't improved. On evaluation he had large duodenal hematoma involving 2nd & 3rd part of duodenum causing complete luminal obstruction leading to persistent vomiting, Various therapeutic options (Observation only with / without feeding jejunostomy, Drainage of hematoma with / without feeding jejunostomy, Gastro-jejunostomy Lap/open) considered and planned before intervention. But simple laparosocpic drainage of hematoma worked well and child started tolerating oral feeds after 4 days of operation and was saved of major surgical correction. Drainage tube and feeding jejunostomy were removed later on.
