As soon as I took over the night shift, the emergency department called: the patient needed intubation, and the anesthesiologist needed help!
Putting down the phone, Dr. Zhang immediately rushed to the emergency department at the speed of "100-meter sprint". As I ran, I thought: What kind of patient is coming to the anesthesiology department again? Several tertiary hospital reviews, the intubation rate of the emergency department can be guaranteed!
Turning a corner, Dr. Zhang slammed open the door of the emergency department.
In front of him, there was an old man with gray hair. Look at the size of the neck and head, life should be good.
What's the situation?
A: Considering that it is difficult to intubate, ask the anesthesiologist for help.
In the past, many patients with accidental cerebrovascular coma like this did not need to be given anesthetics because they lost consciousness due to aspiration. However, this patient's neck is very hard, and there is still a certain ability to resist. The general tube in the emergency department is OK, and for this kind of difficulty, it may really need the anesthesia department to intervene.
So, immediately ask the nurse to smoke an anesthetic. Dr. Zhang, on the other hand, picked up the laryngoscope.
However, when she saw the patient's mouth full of tall, short, crooked teeth, she hesitated.
So she used a simple respirator to tightly clasp the patient's mouth to assist in controlling breathing. At the same time, he turned his head and said to his emergency department colleagues: Tell the family that the teeth are not good and may be touched.
Unexpectedly, the colleague in the emergency department was a straight man: he said this in front of the patient's family.
Hearing the doctor say this, the family naturally could not comply. So, immediately choked up. Suddenly, the door was a mess.
After Dr. Zhang in the room heard about it, he smiled bitterly and said to his colleagues in the emergency department: You are more euphemistic! We are not shirking our responsibilities. Bad teeth, that's an objective fact. At the time of intubation, the laryngoscope is iron. Even if it is not a loose tooth, there is a possibility of damage, not to mention the tooth in this case!
The emergency department colleague said: Isn't this in a hurry? We treat the sick and save people, and the family must understand!
Dr. Zhang said: Can we ask people who do not understand medicine to accept medical problems that they do not understand so quickly, and it is necessary to explain them well.
Seeing that the patient's breathing was still stable, Dr. Zhang turned around and went out to explain to the family.
In this way, it really delayed the rescue time. However, the doctor-patient conflict is on the verge of erupting, and it has to be explained.
Fortunately, the family members have a strong ability to understand. When I heard that the doctor was for rescue, I patted my chest and said: Rest assured, it will fall off, and I will not look for you.
