Give air to children

We all know that without food a person can survive for several weeks, without water for several days, and without air for only a few minutes. Many newborns at the Odessa Regional Children's Hospital, especially premature ones, cannot even breathe on their own. And to help these kids is the duty of adults, ours with you!

The purpose of this project is to raise money for the purchase of a set of breathing circuits and means for respiratory support for children in the intensive care unit of cardiovascular surgery of the Odessa Regional Children's Clinical Hospital.

A breathing circuit is a system of tubes that carry oxygen-rich air from a ventilator (ventilator) to the patient's lungs.

In the modern world of medicine, patient safety is one of the important factors. Regular use of sterile and disposable circuits ensures the safety of young patients both at the time of surgery and in the early postoperative period. When the child is still weakened and the apparatus is breathing for him, the addition of an unwanted bacterial or viral component can dash hopes of salvation. Therefore, the presence of tubes, syringes, etc. – this is a "must have", without which the struggle for a child's life is impossible!

Within a year, about 130-140 patients undergo cardiac surgery intensive care, most of them are newborns and premature babies, and such babies need careful and more expensive care due to a critical condition. The equipment that provides respiratory support is highly specialized, modern and expensive to maintain. Therefore, employees of medical institutions very often turn to our foundation, who are forced to ask for help from caring people, because the state does not provide their departments properly. Very often hospitals do not even have such small, but very necessary little things as syringes, catheters, infusion lines for resuscitation of children, etc. Thanks to your support, we provide departments of the Odessa Regional Children's Hospital (the main medical facility in the southern region) with consumables, medicines, equipment and now is no exception.

Make children's safety a reality – give them air!
