新生兒吃偉哥救命 竟然真的轉危爲安!
A neonatal doctor at Yongkang First People's Hospital in eastern China's Zhejiang province administered the anti-impotence drug Viagra to a preterm baby with breathing difficulties. The doctor's quick thinking ultimately saved the newborn.
中國東部的浙江省永康市第一人民醫院的一位新生兒科醫生用抗陽痿藥物偉哥及時拯救了一名呼吸困難的早產嬰兒。這名醫生的敏捷思維最終救回了新生的小生命。
Ding Dang (a pseudonym) was born at only 34 weeks. Before his birth, several of his unborn siblings passed away. For this reason, his parents were both extra excited and extra nervous about his arrival. However, Ding Dang suffered serious breathing difficulties after his birth.
叮噹（化名）在孕期僅34周時就出生了。在他出生之前，他的媽媽懷過的幾個孩子都在出生前就夭折了。因此，他的父母對他的到來都非常激動又非常緊張。然而，叮噹剛出生就馬上出現了呼吸困難的問題。
The baby's parents asked the medical staff to save their newborn at any cost. They gave the baby expensive treatments and ventilator therapy, but Ding Dang's physical condition gradually worsened, and his skin turned blue.
嬰兒的父母懇求醫護人員無論如何也要救回他們的孩子。他們給孩子用上了最昂貴的治療，還加上了呼吸機治療，但是叮噹的身體狀況還是越來越差，最後皮膚都開始變色。
The doctor suspected the baby might be suffering from persistent pulmonary hypertension. If not promptly treated, the elevated pulmonary artery pressure associated with this disease could stop blood supply to the lungs and cause the newborn to suffocate.
醫生懷疑嬰兒可能是出現了持續性肺動脈高壓。如果不能及時救治，升高的肺動脈壓力會引發其他疾病，阻斷血液向肺的供應，造成嬰兒窒息。
The current international treatment standard for this situation is inhaled nitric oxide, but the drug is only available in several major hospitals in Shanghai and Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang province.
目前應對此類情況的國際醫療標準是吸入一氧化氮，但是這種藥物只在上海和浙江省會杭州的幾個大醫院纔有供應。
Ding Dang's critical condition gave doctors no time for a referral. Once standard intensive treatment had failed, the doctors began using Viagra to dilate the blood vessels supplying the baby's lungs in the hope of reducing pulmonary hypertension.
當時叮噹情況很危急，沒時間讓醫生辦理轉院。就當標準的加強化治療之際，醫生們開始使用偉哥來擴張血管，幫助加強嬰兒肺部的血液供應，希望能降低肺動脈高壓。
Fortunately, after 17 days of treatment, Ding Dang was healthy enough to leave the hospital with his parents.
幸運的是，在17天的治療之後，叮噹現在已經恢復健康，可以跟父母出院回家了。
