The incidence of baby belly button bleeding is getting higher and higher nowadays. We may have all heard of baby belly button bleeding, but many people may not have a detailed understanding of it. However, baby belly button bleeding has also caused great trouble to many parents. Every parent hopes that their children will grow up strong and healthy. So, is there any good way to treat this situation? Next, we will introduce in detail the treatment methods for baby's belly button bleeding.

Treatment:

1. Patients with acute blood loss and hypovolemic shock should be corrected by immediate transfusion of whole blood or bagged red blood cells through the umbilical venous catheter, with 15 ml/kg infused over 5 to 10 minutes. The infusion can be repeated until normal circulation is restored. If blood transfusion is not possible immediately, the same volume of colloid fluid (5% human albumin or fresh frozen plasma) or 0.9% saline can be started to support circulation. If shock persists, blood transfusions, colloid fluids, or saline should be given repeatedly. Central venous monitoring is done by cannulation of the umbilical vein (with x-ray confirmation that the catheter tip is above the diaphragm) to help determine when circulatory loss is resolved.

2. During fetal-to-fetal transfusion, the donor needs exchange transfusion or simple transfusion to increase the hematocrit to a safe level. The recipient may have polycythemia and may need partial exchange transfusion (exchange phlebotomy) with colloid fluid to reduce the hematocrit to a safe level (usually <65%).

3. People with mild or moderate anemia are usually asymptomatic and only need iron supplements. The general course of treatment is 3 months. If the patient has symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty feeding, rapid heart rate, and rapid breathing, a small amount of blood transfusion may be given appropriately.

4. If the child is over 2 years old and the umbilical hernia has not healed on its own, surgical treatment should be performed. The specific method of the operation is to make a corresponding arc-shaped incision 1 to 2 cm below the umbilical hernia, free the skin flap, and expose the anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis on both sides. Incise the linea alba and hernia sac. If there is no intact hernia sac, incise the peritoneum. The intestine was returned, the hernia sac was removed, and the peritoneal incision edge was sutured at the hernia ring. The transverse abdominal fascia is sutured horizontally, and then the linea alba is sutured longitudinally to close the umbilical ring and repair the weak area of ​​the abdominal wall. Finally, the skin flap that retains the umbilicus is sutured in situ.
