At the end of the 19th century, on the desert plain of Sokolniki field, a highway was built, which became known as Sokolniki. Yards were located along this highway, there were few of them. The settlement was small and inconspicuous, but it was here, in the midst of a magnificent birch grove, that the construction of a children's model hospital began. The imperial time was distinguished by the fact that almost all medical institutions were built on private donations, and no exception was made for this. After the revolution, the Bolsheviks safely renamed the highway into Rusakovskaya street (in honor of their military comrade, a doctor by vocation), and the hospital became known as Rusakovskaya. But whatever the name, the hospital of St. Vladimir in Sokolniki has always maintained its title exemplary.
Pavel Grigoryevich von Derviz
The main inspirer and patron of the construction of a children's hospital was the Russified German industrialist Pavel G. von Derviz. He, by permission of the Governor-General of Prince Dolgoruky, donated 400 thousand rubles to charity, paying tribute to his firstborn, who died in Russia. Pavel Grigoryevich insisted that the hospital be named after the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, widely known for his good deeds in favor of sick, crippled and simply needy people.
In the hospital of St. Vladimir in Sokolniki, small and large children were admitted, but not older than 12 years old. And a prerequisite for its existence was the maintenance of a hundred beds for children from among those families who could not pay for treatment. Doctors took the sick every day, regardless of holidays and weekends, from 8 to 12 days, and treated the rest of the time with attention and diligence.
Departments of Traumatology and Orthopedics
Children's Hospital of St. Vladimir in Sokolniki is one of the oldest in Moscow. For many years now she has been holding exemplary status, her doctors have the titles of candidates of sciences and the highest qualifications in their profession.
They provide emergency care to all those in need. And, perhaps, one of the first departments that was opened in the hospital is traumatology. The little man, restless and inquisitive, quickly learns the world, so much so that sometimes the help of a doctor is needed.
The city clinical hospital of St. Vladimir employs specialists who know how fragile the bones of children are, how easily injuries and bruises appear. The head of the 3rd Department of Traumatology Sergey V. Rassovsky and his team are actively involved in the development of less traumatic methods for healing fractures, in the search for new ways to treat intraarticular fractures, they diagnose and successfully treat a compression fracture of the spine. In this department, which was opened on the basis of the Department of Pediatric Surgery TSOLIUV back in 1959, bruises, dislocations, fractures, craniocerebral and neurotraumas, cysts on bones, congenital and acquired pathologies of bones and skulls are not disregarded. In addition, all departments of St. Vladimir’s hospital, including traumatology, are also supervised by other doctors: pediatrician, optometrist, neurologist. They are ready to help every child at any time of the day.
Surgery for newborns and premature babies
One of the most difficult departments of the St. Vladimir Hospital in Sokolniki is surgery for newborns and premature babies. Such children often need not only intensive therapy, but also a difficult operation and care. Due to underweight, premature babies often have an inguinal hernia. It happens that the doctor can fix it at the place of residence.
And it also happens that only a surgeon can fix inguinal pinching. Subject to surgical intervention and hemangioma, and umbilical hernia, and many other troubles - congenital and acquired. Doctors in the surgical department, headed by Elena Kartseva, Ph.D. in medical sciences, are helping their tiny patients and their parents to hope for recovery.
Chambers "Mother and Child"
There are “Mother and Child” wards in the clinic, and mothers take care of their children themselves. It is their immediate proximity with their parents, their unconditional love that stabilizes even the most difficult conditions and significantly affects the healing process. The department is equipped with the most modern equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of small patients.
Resuscitation - department, where they bring back to life
Resuscitation in the language of doctors - a return to life. Here are the most difficult patients who need urgent help in restoring the extinct functions of the body.
The head of the department, Stroganov I.A. and his subordinates sometimes wage an unequal struggle against clinical death, sometimes at the peak of their capabilities. The department opened in 1970, but the number of saved lives exceeds tens of thousands. Small patients admitted with various malformations, newborns with an intrauterine infection or in a shock state fall into the reliable hands of highly qualified resuscitators.
Victory over a terrible disease
Using modern equipment to determine how difficult the condition of the child. This is a complicated, but hopeful for rescue department that works around the clock, like doctors who sometimes look after hopeless patients, giving parents the joy of defeating a terrible disease.
At the Children's Hospital of St. Vladimir, children from all over the country are accepted, each is assigned a personal doctor. With complex diagnoses and concomitant diseases, other specialists come to the rescue from various departments of the hospital itself or from others.
Center for Gravity Blood Surgery and Hemodialysis
On the territory of the clinic is located the Hemodialysis Center, which has been led by Zverev Dmitry Vladimirovich for 40 years. Children with severe renal impairment are admitted to this unit. On the most modern equipment, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, plasmapheresis are performed. They are constantly working to improve the treatment of children with such a difficult diagnosis as renal failure.
The center is engaged in scientific development throughout its entire existence. Leading experts are working to improve the treatment of hemato-uremic syndrome. More difficult situations occur when a kidney transplant is necessary. Eminent doctors of the center carry out all the necessary preparations and activities for
organ transplantation. The invaluable experience gained over the years in the treatment of such diseases, the doctors of the center pass on to their colleagues.
Words of gratitude about the model hospital of St. Vladimir
Children's Clinical Hospital of St. Vladimir was opened on August 1, 1876 and for more than a hundred and forty years has been the largest hospital where children with severe developmental pathologies, injuries, and bruises are treated. Thousands of young patients receive emergency qualified care and live in cleanrooms during therapy. Many parents respectfully write reviews about the hospital of St. Vladimir, in which they do not skimp on kind words of gratitude. With all my heart I thank the resuscitators and surgeons. Even high workload does not prevent them from being attentive to their wards, they try to answer all the questions of their parents related to the treatment or condition of a sick child, readily suggest, advise. And all this without haste and irritation. These are real professionals in their field who can be trusted with the most precious thing that parents have - the health and life of their children.
