A gastroscope a few days ago impressed Dr. Liu, who was on duty.
Some people say that your anesthesiology department does dozens of gastroscopic anesthesia a day, how can you be so impressed by a gastroscope?
This is because although this gastroscope is ordinary, the problems exposed behind it are worthy of our deep thinking and reflection.
When Dr. Liu pasted electrode stickers to patients who had just been lying on the examination bed, she was surprised to find that the patient already had three electrode stickers on his body! She thought to herself, this is the morning, she is not confused. If it is the afternoon, it is also possible to be paralyzed by prolonged and frequent anesthesia. But, this electrode sticker...
Faced with this electrode sticker that she could not explain, she was momentarily stunned.
The nurse shouted when she saw the situation: Dr. Liu, you hurry!
Hearing this voice, she suddenly came out of her memory. Hold the electrode cable and prepare to install the electrode.
However, at this time she was surprised to find that this electrode sticker was obviously not new. Judging from the situation that has been smeared in the surrounding area, it has been said for a few days. Looking at the patient's examination record, the date is impressively a week ago. This means that this electrode patch has been applied to the patient for at least a week!
The hand that was almost about to be fitted with the electrode wire itself could not be moved at this time. In her mind, she couldn't be sure of the skin underneath the electrode sticker. Assuming that the skin below has been broken, will it cause skin burns if you rush to connect the electrode wires yourself?
Although she was clear when she was awake, she knew that the electrode line was a weak current, but in that case she did not dare to make any more attempts.
Afterwards, the nurse watched in confusion as she put three more electrode stickers on the patient.
After successfully completing the gastroscope, Dr. Liu began to try to uncover the electrode stickers. The reason why it is "uncovered" is because she is very worried that the skin will be broken.
Fortunately, only three red circles remain on the skin.
Fortunately, Dr. Liu even thanked the patient for having rough skin. If the patient is not a working person, if the skin is not so rough, it may not be so lucky.
Although no serious consequences have occurred, such potential risks must be controlled. If you don't pay attention, sooner or later there will be problems.
As a result, the anesthesiology department and the endoscopic room reached a consensus: after the painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, the anesthesiology department is responsible for removing the electrode sticker, and the endoscopic room is responsible for supervision.
What is risk? You can't wait for a human life to be called a risk! Only by controlling the drip in the clinic can we ensure that every patient can receive the best treatment in a safe medical process.
Here, I would also like to remind everyone that medical staff sometimes make mistakes, but health is their own, so it is necessary to communicate with medical staff in time to get the best results.
