橡皮筋绑手腕16小时导致腕部发紫，9岁男童来沪求医   2015-01-13

 

A 9-day-old baby underwent emergency surgery on Christmas Eve to save her left hand after her parents tied an elastic band around her wrist to keep a mitten in place.

Doctors at Xinhua Hospital said they conducted a fasciotomy on the infant’s arm — a surgical procedure that involves cutting deep into the tissue to relieve pressure — in a bid to save her hand.

The child’s parents said they took baby Yuanyuan to hospital after her hand turned purple. The elastic band had been on her wrist for about 16 hours, they said.
