On April 22, the bad news was heard: Dr. Pan Chuanlong of the Anesthesiology Department of the Second Hospital of Shenzhen fell on the job he loved!
In recent years, there have been reports of sudden death of anesthesiologists almost every year.
Some people will ask: Is the anesthesiologist too poor?
Whether this problem comes from the medical industry or outside the medical industry, we anesthete people will not blame. Because, there are indeed many people who do not understand the discipline of anesthesia.
A sharp question: Which hospital director thinks anesthesiology is important?
Who else can be counted on by the helmsman who pays attention to hospital management and medical quality?
Here, we stand up as proof: if any dean can really attach importance to the discipline of anesthesia, he will definitely be rated as "China's good dean"! The department of anesthesia will also support you with the strength of the whole discipline!
Why is it important to pay attention to the discipline of anesthesia?
The work of the department of anesthesia is, to a lesser extent, a guarantee of surgical safety; at a large extent, it is the key to the development of modern surgery as a whole.
More than a hundred years ago, the department of anesthesiology was born. At that time, anesthesia technology, aseptic technology and blood transfusion technology were called "the three major milestones in the development of modern surgery".
It can be called a milestone, and its significance is needless to say.
However, as things have evolved, surgery seems to have left only "the most important thing". As for the other disciplines, they are completely reduced to supporting roles.
For the blood transfusion department, being reduced to a supporting role is also recognized: if you want blood, I will supply it in sufficient quantities. However, without the sterile technical care of the nursing team and the full operative protection of the anesthesia discipline to ensure the safe operation, where is the "operation successful"?
The safety of the anesthesia discipline is not to "look after" the patient during surgery. To do this, a lot of work needs to be done before, during and after surgery.
Before surgery, it is important to have a good understanding of the patient's health, the surgical plan, and what risks the surgery may pose. Therefore, no matter how busy, the anesthesiologist must "see the patient" before the operation. This step is professionally called "preoperative visit";
During the operation, the patient's vital signs should be closely monitored. Once vital signs tend to change, the anesthesiologist's blood pressure also rushes upwards. Therefore, many anesthesiologists suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease.
After surgery, the anesthesiologist works. Not only is it an important step to ensure safety, but it is also a support for modern surgery to accelerate postoperative recovery.
Timely visits after surgery can find out whether the patient has complications or whether there is a potential risk of complications; in addition, reasonable postoperative analgesia is conducive to reducing the adverse stress caused by pain and is conducive to the early recovery of intestinal function. These are all related to whether patients can be discharged from the hospital early.
However, the current situation is that there are only a few tens of thousands of anesthesiologists in the country, but they are supporting hundreds of millions of surgical anesthesia every year.
Under normal circumstances, the surgeon will come and go into the operating room for surgery, but the operating room cannot be stopped, the nursing team cannot stop, and the anesthesiology department cannot be stopped until the end of the day's surgery.
To be sure, anesthesiologists in first-tier cities in beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen work almost until midnight every day.
However, even if you work until midnight, you still have to get up early in the morning to see the patient and do all the preparations before the anesthesia of the day.
Dr. Pan, who had just died suddenly, in a densely populated, fast-paced city like Shenzhen, believed he hadn't slept before 12 p.m.
Let me ask you: Who can stand the body of the flesh? Even if it is the body of steel, do you have to stop and repair it occasionally?
Anesthesia, guarding the surgical and guarding the patient. So, who will guard the anesthesia?
The so-called leaders on the stage, especially the leaders of the anesthesia discipline: don't talk all kinds of big things all day! Look at your comrades on the front lines behind you! Who cares about their treatment? Who cares about their lives and deaths?
【Warm tips】Point to pay attention, here is a lot of professional medical science, for you to reveal the secret of surgical anesthesia those things ~ ~
