The artificial lung ventilation device was transferred to the Vitebsk Regional Children's Clinical Center as part of the 'Our Children' campaign
A ventilator has been donated to the Vitebsk Regional Children's Clinical Center as part of the "Our Children" campaign.
– This is an important gift for the healthcare institution within the framework of the republican charity campaign "Our Children" and the joint project of the Belarusian Peace Foundation and ZAO "Patio" "High Five for Goodness!", – emphasized Vyacheslav Durnov, Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee. – The most important thing is that this device is greatly needed by children; it will provide specific life-saving assistance. We are donating it with all our heart!
The portable, user-friendly device, as reported by Galina Puzanova, Chief Physician of the VRCCC, is intended for children undergoing treatment not in the intensive care unit, but in somatic departments, for example, surgical or endocrinological. Under certain conditions, a child with severe pathology who cannot breathe on their own can be discharged home with this device. Center specialists train parents on how to use it and provide supervision – at least once a week, an anesthesiologist visits to check the device's operating parameters, provide consultations, and supply consumables for the maintenance of the medical equipment. The Children's Center has more than one such device, but each of them is in demand and vitally necessary for young patients requiring palliative care.
