Doctors from ‘ Mama and I ‘ saved a 5-month-old baby with severe respiratory failure

Radoslav was brought by helicopter from Montana

Doctors from the paediatrics clinic in ”Mama and I” saved the life of five-month-old Radoslav from Vidin. Thanks to the quick and adequate response of the team on duty – Dr. Ignat Gramatikov, Dr. Bilyana Metodieva, nurse Tsvetelina Todorova and excellent coordination with the medical helicopter team, the Ministry of Interior Pleven and the doctors from the Montana Hospital, only half an hour after the helicopter took off the child was admitted to the intensive care unit of the hospital complex and saved.

“The Montana hospital approached us because Radoslav was in severe respiratory failure, hypoxia, carbon retention and needed intensive care. Colleagues from Montana organized the transport with the medical helicopter, we quickly formed a team and thanks to the special neonatology ambulance of ‘Mom and Me’, equipped with a transport couch, we managed in the most flawless way to save the baby’s life”, informed Dr. Velimir Simov, head of the pediatric ward.

Radoslav is now feeling well, his mother is by his side and his treatment continues.

“I am extremely grateful to the doctors from ‘ Mama and I’ for saving my baby. I am grateful for the quick joint efforts of the paediatric clinic teams and the medical helicopter. Without them he would not have been able to survive,” Radoslav’s mother said through tears.

On the same day, another child from Vidin was admitted to the intensive care unit of the clinic. He was admitted with bilateral bronchopneumonia and breathing difficulties. The parents, who heard about the transport of a child at risk by helicopter, decided to seek help from the paediatricians of ‘Mama and I’.

“I only trust Dr. Simov, so we took the risky trip to the hospital and lo and behold, Christo, who is one year and 7 months old, was saved. Our choice was right,” said the mother Rositsa.
