Montreal doctors give baby girl chance at a healthy life in Quebec medical first
Global News
One-year-old Sia Terhzaz Senica is living a healthy life thanks to a medical first in Quebec performed by specialists at the Montreal Children's Hospital.
Sia Terhzaz Senica is now living a healthy life and her parents couldn’t be happier.
The one-year-old was born 15 weeks prematurely on March 18, 2021.
The infant was struggling with serious medical complications and had to be resuscitated and put on a ventilator with a breathing tube.
Sia had a blocked airway due to a collapsed trachea and there was blood on her lungs.
At one point, her mother, Tanja Senica, feared for her daughter’s life.
“She almost died on me,” Senica told Global News.
Specialists at the Montreal Children’s Hospital were considering open heart surgery or Sia would have to live with a breathing tube for several years.
But after consulting a colleague at Columbia University, the specialists opted for a procedure called NIV-NAVA, where a computer attached to a breathing tube with electrodes on the end was inserted into Sia’s stomach. The electrodes detected every time Sia would take a breath and send a message to the computer to pump air into her lungs.
