On the morning of April 25, on the 5th floor of the community health service center in Shiwan Town, Yao Wei, an 82-year-old man who was preparing to be discharged, clutched the hand of Deng Weijuan, the head nurse of Chancheng District People's Hospital (hereinafter referred to as "Zen Ren Doctor"), thanked her for her careful care and treatment for several months, and presented a pennant to the inpatient department of the Social Health Center of Chancheng District People's Hospital. Nearly amputated, he saved his right foot with the help of medical care.
Patients and family members present pennants to the inpatient department.
In October last year, Yao Wei found that his right foot was swollen and applied himself to the ointment. He and his family then discovered that the skin of his toes began to crack, that his feet were decaying very quickly, and that three of his right toes had turned black after a week. Yao Wei couldn't sleep at night during that time. The family had taken Yao Wei to several hospitals, and the doctor's advice was that the limb needed to be amputated.
Yao Wei and his family wanted to keep their right foot as much as possible, so they went to the inpatient department of the Community Health Service Center in Shiwan Town for treatment. Here, Zhou Fuyi, director of the inpatient department, and Dr. Liang Xiaohui diagnosed Yao Wei with type 2 diabetes, and Liang Xiaohui used drugs to help Yao Wei control blood sugar. Deng Weijuan took care of Yao Wei for several months.
"When Yao Bo first came to the inpatient department, there were many gangrenes on his feet, and his toes had turned black." Deng Weijuan said that treating diabetic foot is not an easy task, which depends on multidisciplinary cooperation. Doctors are responsible for stabilizing blood sugar and nurses are responsible for care and follow-up treatment. Thanks to the cooperation of the general practice team of the inpatient department and the strength of the nurses, Yao Wei finally helped Yao Wei to save his right foot.
According to reports, the cause of diabetic foot is that the patient's blood circulation is slowed down, neuropathy leads to decreased lower limb protection function, blood vessels are invaded by high blood sugar, resulting in limb ischemia caused by ulceration and necrosis, and secondary bacterial infection and other issues, blood glucose destroys the blood vessel wall and hinders blood circulation.
During the treatment, Deng Weijuan endured a strong putrid odor and carefully helped Yao Wei clean up the rotten flesh. At the beginning of the treatment, each time the wound is cleaned, it takes about an hour. In order to help Yao Wei's foot blood flow, Deng Weijuan carried out closed negative pressure drainage for him, and carried out a three-pronged approach to promote microcirculation reconstruction of the foot, realize the regeneration of the vascular network, and solve the problem of diabetic foot ischemia.
Through months of treatment and care, Yao Wei's blood sugar was stable, the pain was relieved, and the wound of infection necrosis was completely healed, eliminating the risk of amputation.
When Yao Wei and his family were discharged from the hospital, they escorted the pennants to the doctor. Deng Weijuan told Yao Wei that he must control his diet and stabilize his blood sugar. Yao Wei's son said that fortunately, he met the medical team of Zen Ren Doctor, and his father was exempted from the risk of amputation, "The attitude of The medical staff of Zen Ren Medical Is very good, we especially want to thank Deng Weijuan's head nurse for his meticulous care for his father, we feel particularly warm." ”
Yao Wei shook the hand of Zhou Fuyi, director of the inpatient department, and repeatedly thanked him.
