Question
My son has been developing slowly, so I’ve been quite anxious. It was only after seeing a doctor for a diagnosis that we found out he has Down syndrome, and he is currently undergoing treatment. However, I’m not sure what to pay attention to during the treatment period. What should be noted when treating Down syndrome?
Answer
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, or congenital Down syndrome, is a disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities (an extra 21st chromosome). 60% of children with this condition are miscarried in the early stages of pregnancy. Survivors often have significant intellectual disabilities, distinctive facial features, growth and development delays, and various malformations. On the training bed, breathe deeply. Due to some patients needing to address postoperative bedwetting issues, effective deep breathing and appropriate coughing can reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, so it is important to first undergo preventive training. To prevent food from regurgitating from the anesthetized stomach and being inhaled into the lungs, causing pneumonia, fasting and no water should be avoided for 8 to 12 hours before surgery. However, necessary medications can be taken with a small amount of saliva. [[1]]
