In recent years, with the advancement of interventional technology and equipment, the proportion of minimally invasive interventional surgery has increased year by year.
The problem facing the anesthesia discipline is to move from the previous challenges of drastic analgesia and dealing with major blood losses to more refined circulation management and more pressure on the proportion of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
A more prominent problem is that anesthesiologists can no longer wear a short sleeve to work, as they used to do, but have to wear heavy armor.
On this day, the father of a director of the dermatology department suddenly suffered a cerebral thrombosis and was rushed to the interventional operating room for mechanical embolectomy.
Because he was a colleague and the head of the department, it was not easy to refuse the door, so he let him watch in the operation room outside the interventional operating room.
Watching us busy behind lead glass, he was very worried. We also understood him very well and took the time to reassure him not to worry.
Everything was ready, and everyone else withdrew, leaving only a "good physique" operation doctor on the stage.
As we came out, he immediately became uneasy. Moving his steps from side to side, he looked at us frequently.
Seeing that the patient's vital signs on the monitor were stable, he took the time to comfort him: Don't worry, we can also see your father's life indicators outside. Once there is an anomaly, we can find it the first time.
Seeing that he wanted to stop talking, he had to explain to him again: DSA surgery has radiation, especially in the stage of contrast radiation is the largest. Although everyone wears lead clothing, long-term exposure to radiation is too damaging to the body.
Although he nodded his head in understanding, his worries remained undiminished.
DSA surgery, or digital subtraction angiography, is a vascular imaging technique that uses computers to process image information by injecting contrast agent into blood vessels.
During the operation, although he may not be able to understand the deep information on the monitor, he still tries to watch.
An hour later, the thrombus was successfully removed.
Seeing that the old father stepped down safely, he couldn't help but say: Scared me to death.
We can all hear that his words are very profound: the condition may be one of the worries; according to his impression, it may be safer for us to be with the patient.
When he learned that the expected results should be good, he asked us how to keep the anesthesia smooth during surgery.
We told him that there was now a targeted infusion. As long as we calculate the values, the drug will be pumped continuously according to the expected design, which is smoother than before the hand-pushed drug.
Seeing that he seemed to have some idea about us observing through the glass most of the time, we explained that several surgeries a day, despite wearing a lead coat, inevitably radiated too much.
Before leaving, a wave of thanks.
Perhaps, only by understanding the real situation inside the hospital can we truly understand the medical staff.
