s in the country. It is of the latest generation. The team provides patients with some of the best healthcare facilities in the world, while their thousand-strong medical team worked tirelessly to change

children

's lives when they needed it most.

Olivia Dixon, 12 weeks old, is one of the youngest patients at the hospital taking some blood. very good fruit as in trouble her parents Lucy and John had only been married for a year when Olivia was born but their moment of joy soon turned into every parent's nightmare it was a planned home birth It went absolutely well and everything This was not the case. It lasted six and a half hours, so I think I got away with it, fortunately, but it was then when she was weighed that the midwife noticed that her belly was very distended, her new daughter's stomach was very swollen and the They were rushed to the hospital.

Just hours after she was born, doctors discovered she had a cancerous tumor in her liver that only affects one in a million babies. She is now seriously ill. You just don't expect it. You don't think it will happen, but it doesn't happen to you. had a week with the people that she, yes, we have about this, but we have to be very optimistic about it and think positively because it could destroy, otherwise Olivia has been receiving chemotherapy to shrink the tumor since she was only 16 days old. The doctor overseeing her treatment is a man who is a specialist in childhood cancers.

This is a very large tumor in her tumor when it appeared extended to her pelvis, it basically filled half of her abdomen, so here is the kijima after four cycles of chemotherapy. and it's essentially confined to this part of the liver, the right lobe, this is the rest of the liver before this pretty much filled your entire abdomen and pushed an arch to the other side, it's a very rare tumor and we'll probably see one or two children a year in Manchester with chemotherapy. The tumor has shrunk, but surgeons now need to remove it in a complex operation that could take up to seven hours.

Everything will be fine, so don't worry. Great, I can. I don't see that we're going to need all the reassurance we give him, everything will be fine, you know, and it's an important operation, but you need to do a lot of operations before in three days the Dixons return for the surgery that could save their life. Little daughter. The good thing is that she doesn't know any different, she does, she's lucky, she doesn't worry about tomorrow, she doesn't worry about how good she'll be next week and she takes it minute by minute. I don't think so, she's the only thing that worries me. fed and has a cleanliness yes, it is absolutely extraordinary,

injuries a

month

, leading the ship today is a consultant that the law can do about who has a lot of energetic work Jakob has almost 2 years old has arrived with his mother After I cut off his head, can I put him in bed and then they did not scream?

The gangsters came up and he was still there next to the doll, all blood everywhere. First it came off and crushed him, red officer, yes, dr. Dhawan has decided that the wound could be deep, so he is puncturing Jacobs' head with numbing gel to numb it before properly examining it to allow us to properly assess the wound. We need to sedate you and by sedating you we will do proper cleaning and closure. the wound make sure it doesn't open again Jacobs has his older brother Josh with him for company he has a bandage around the dessert, it swells its edge oh well Jacobs isn't too interested in being treated we'll try again yeah , you are ready, the gel will do it. takes 40 minutes to work, the staff just has to hope he doesn't run away or have any more accidents before they try to sew his head shut, you bark this Prezi 24/7 and you finished early because Jacobs is so young and active and the wound could be deep dr.

Dhawan is determined to use the sedative ketamine, it will immobilize Jacob and he will feel no pain. The alternative will be to go to the operating room and spend the night within seconds of receiving the ketamine. Jacob feels drowsy the minute he is completely sedated. He came here. and being loved, all because of the depth, the cut is deeper than it first seemed, it's because of the muscle, it needs two layers of stitches, so thanks to ketamine, Jacobs sews again in a dream, it's important keep the room nice and quiet when Jacob arrives. That's on the cover for another hour so that the doctor was himself and was creating havoc.

Oh baby Olivia Dixon has arrived for the operation that could save her life firearms from the second she was born with a massive cancerous tumor in her liver and after eight weeks of chemotherapy to shrink it, they are going to remove it mom and dad hope that her nightmare will end soon, it's quite scary, she is so happy all the time and smiles at you with giggles, you just can't, you can't think of anything. bad, I want it all to end and then she can be a normal P. The family has been in and out of the hospital since Olivia was born.

Tomorrow will be a critical day and all of this is very worrying and what seemed silly to me. that in a way because hundreds and hundreds of parents have to go through different problems but the same feelings will just be it's going to be difficult oh yes that's all encouraging an insulting ascetic system too young my colleagues joined a petty Consultant anesthetist Dillon Prosser is tasked with keeping the liver alive during the surgery, which could take up to seven hours with 12 years of experience. It's a job he's done many times before, basically why we usually say mom and dad can come down and what will we do.

So if he's pretty small, we'll actually probably let him sleep in your arms, so you've got a nice big cut for what I tell moms and dads, if babies cry in any way, that's a plus. because they breathe faster they breathe deeper they lower an adjustment on board faster okay I have to sleep quickly I think it's a terrible thing that children have to suffer things like this they didn't have a chance in life but it's something they've grown up that they've had a opportunity in life, they have experienced it, they have made their own mistakes and their own successes, that is fine, but the child does not have that opportunity yet and I think he deserves it.

I

real

ly do, if all goes well, Olivia could be released. cancer, you understand what he is here for today, yes the theories that he will lose too much blood or that the cancer may have spread, this is the most serious, it has become very, very serious now because there is the worst case scenario on the table , it's six o'clock in the afternoon at Raw Manchester Children's Hospital, eleven-year-old Bethany has just suffered an accident, an emergency with suspected appendicitis. She feels bad at first, I just thought maybe it was a stomach virus and it got worse. Temperatures soared. your oops are on duty surgeon Alex Turner to decide if Bethany needs an emergency operation to remove her appendix what is the pain of life because it is there all the time it comes and goes in waves there is no test that can confirm appendicitis with certainty So Alex Turner has the challenge of making the diagnosis himself.

Can you point a finger where this pain is not so pitiful? It could be any number of things, but it's possible this could be appendicitis. The appendix is ​​outside the large intestine. It's okay and it's a little. like a dead end on a road so it's a blind end and when it gets a little bit blocked you can get a little bit inflamed and infected, the treatments, an operation to get rid of it, okay so I don't expect to have anything to do . eat and drink right now, okay, you'll see in a minute, at this point there's a good chance appendicitis will feel her tummy, it's tender down there and it looks pretty and so will the palate when she goes to the operating room adjusting, so there will be Es a disaster, but surgeon Alex Turner still isn't sure Bethenny has appendicitis, so he decided to delay the surgery for at least 24 hours.

Well, what we don't want to do is take someone to the operating room and it's a normal appendix, so we better get it taken care of. The solution is simply to observe it for a while and see in which direction our pain goes, if it improves or worsens. It's just a waiting game. It is not like this? Theater staff will be on standby throughout the night in case Bethenny's condition deteriorates. 24 hours later, Bethenny is a different girl, she is up and her stomach feels much better. Yesterday I found this small and today it is this big.

Oh yes, they say I have a virus. Fortunately, surgeon Alex Turner made the right decision not to do so. operate, this was not an appendicitis case, in fact it was not a surgical case at all, it's actually quite easy to go and do an operation, the hardest thing is knowing when not to have surgery, it's really just taking a step back, no take anything in the face. courage, yes, I feel better than before. I'm just glad she's our ranch talk of having to go, so the doctors in the OR believe Bethenny has a viral infection that will get better with time, but now she's allowed to go home with strict orders to return.

If she starts to feel unwell again, 12-week-old Olivia Dixon is about to undergo a potentially life-saving operation that will take three surgeons several hours to remove the liver tumor filling her abdomen. Mom and Dad have to sit in the living room and wait. It's a concern and it's been a long time, so like seven or eight hours, it just depends on how it goes. Status of Annie DeLand Prosser is responsible for making sure Olivia's blood and respiratory levels remain stable. Surgeons are working with some very deaf delegates, large blood vessels. and there is always the risk of inadvertently cutting a blood vessel.

The ultrasound shows that the growth on Olivia's belly is enormous. The discovery will not take long for surgeons, but removing it will be a slow and delicate process. Fine tweezers, microtweezers. I can see what's there. your tumor just came out of the side of the liver, what they have done is free all the connections where the liver connects to the tissues of the back, who can't get better access and another to remove the children even though the chemotherapy shrank the tumor still fills half of the living ones his abdomen recycles he eats poop, let's see then yes, since the third stage of the operation it has gone very well now every blood vessel must be trapped safely when the tumor is also removed a lot bleeding could put Olivia's life at risk the main being was completely surrounded by the liver and we believed that Olivia is losing a lot of blood but the transfusion keeps her alive until now she has taken one hundred and seventy-six milliliters equivalent to a third of a pint of the entire volume of circulating blood served equivalent to maybe a pint absorbed a fairly significant proportion of bleeding our son is a big boy to town after four hours the tumor was finally removed Olivia's liver is back in place and there is no signs of other cancerous growths who She had quite significant blood loss, probably equal to twice her circulating blood.

In the end, the blood volume was half a liter of blood yesterday, without people donating blood, he couldn't and this operation, she wouldn't have survived until today was a great day, yeah, well, aren't we while Olivia Is he in intensive care? The cancer specialist she makes can inform Lucy and John. She is in I see that if she is still ventilated, she is not paralyzed, so she is moving, she is breathing on her own and her plan is that they will keep her ventilated for 24 hours. Yes, she is quite stable. Brilliant. The operation appears to have gone well, but Olivia will need close monitoring over the next year in case the cancer returns.

Below, in ER Professor Simon Carly's turn, she has seen many broken bones during her 18 years in medicine, but not as dramatic as those at 13 years old. -Old Josh's collarbone, just sit there for a second, which even today is over 500,000, I think he tripped over his shoelaces, they took an x-ray, yeah, this is impressive, I have to say hmm, okay, oh god. Look at that, you know, it broke, well, do you think this bone, this bone, in this vein, yeah, they're supposed to be one bone. Oh my gosh, I mean it's in three good pieces and you can measure that, actually, that part should be. stuck to that part there, so it's two and a half centimeters from where it should be now, if these were other bones, I say they were,You know, like your leg or something, there's no way you're going to get out without an operation because it has to be reattached, but the collarbone is very forgiving and if we can get those two a little bit close to each other, it will heal very okay and you know, the long term shoulder should be pretty good, okay?

Your arm is there, sorry Josh, we'll spend the next six weeks wearing the sling. It should be all Mother Nature needs to bring the two ends back together. Luckily he's left-handed, so do his Lake District homework four months later. operation to remove a cancerous tumor in the liver Six-month-old Olivia Dixon is back home with her parents Lucy and John Olivia has been having regular check-ups, but on the family's last visit a routine scan showed the results On the ultrasound they saw that there was another lump on the remaining half of the liver, just a big setback, right?

Hmm, it's not supposed to happen like that, you know, it's not supposed to come back, is it that the same aggressive cancer has come back? It was clear. It emerged from the scans that there was a mass that had grown on the other side of the liver, so our interpretation of that is that presumably there was something there before, but it was too small to detect on the CT scan at the time of surgery and that Once the other mass was removed and the chemotherapy was stopped, that mass began to grow. Olivia has very little healthy liver left, so over the next few weeks she will receive chemotherapy to shrink the tumor and then have a full liver transplant.

Getting over that initial shock, we go back to where we were, the original prairie operation, and doing what we have to do, you never think, well, that's because even though she's sick, she's like any other kid, she still wants to play, she still wants to play. . sleeps, she's still, you know it's all those other things you have to think about, so that keeps you from really getting depressed, yes, definitely yes, our hope would be that with more chemo and with the transplant, she'll be fine. The survival figures after the transplant are good, surely we are treating it with the aim of curing them dr.

Only the muscle that allows Harley's stomach to empty appears to be larger than usual.
