Doctors of the Sverdlovsk Regional Clinical Hospital 1 operated on a baby with a critical heart defect. According to the head of the department of intensive care and intensive care of newborns and premature babies of the 1st CSTO Perinatal Center, Mark Prutkin, immediately after birth, the child was admitted to the intensive care unit and intensive care, he was diagnosed with a dangerous congenital heart disease, total abnormal drainage of the pulmonary veins.
While the baby is in the womb, his lungs are not yet functioning, and blood circulation is completely dependent on the circulation of the mother's body. But for a year he begins to breathe on his own, the pulmonary circulation starts, and with such a defect, the blood cannot flow from the lungs.
