Abstract: Objective To discuss the nursing experience of children with Beckwith-Weidemann Syndrome undergoing partial glossectomy and radical operation for tongue. Methods We summarized the postoperative nursing of 8 children with Beckwith-Weidemann Syndrome, including airway nursing, such as mechanical ventilation,monitoring of vital signs, airway humidification, and sputum suction as needed; catheter care, such as fixing the catheter and preventing unplanned extubation; prevention and nursing of complications, such as prevention of bleeding and infection; skin care to prevent pressure injury and medical adhesive-related skin injury, and nutritional support. Results Among the 8 children, the time of indwelling nasal tube intubation were prolonged about 1-2 days and the length of stay about 1-2days. After active treatment and nursing, 8 children were in stable condition and discharged. The tongue of 8 children could be put back into the mouth, and the operation area recovered well during the 1-month follow-up. Conclusion Proactive nursing such as keeping airway unobstructed, infection prevention, reduced postoperative swelling and nutritional support are conducive to the safety of children and reducing treatment risk.
