Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of the manipulative reduction monitored by ultrasound for the intussusception of children.Methods One hundred and three intussusception children were dynamically observed by ultrasound,and were pressed softly beginning with the head of the intussusceptum,and observed whether there was intestinal peristalsis, and whether the intussuseeptum shortened and disappeared finally.The results were analyzed based on the size of the masse, the length of the intussusceptum,and the patients' age,and compared with the X-ray high pressure air enema.Results Fifty (48.5 ％) intussusception children were recovered.The recoverability was related to the size of the mass, the length of the intussusceptum, and the age of the children (level of cooperation).Thirty-nine patients were recovered after reexamined one hour later.The recoverability of manipulative reduction monitored by ultrasound for the mass diameter less than 2.0 cm was obviously higher than that by X-ray high pressure air enema.Conclusions Manipulative reduction monitored by ultrasound could cure almost half of the intussusception children patients directly.It could decrease the number of patients who were treated with high-pressure air enema,it could relieve the pain of the children and reduce their medical expenses.It also could be acted as a screening way to other therapies like high pressure air enema.
