"I don't recognize the doctors from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the Chinese Association for Disease Control and Prevention. I only know the ones from Guozhi. My colleagues are from the Department of Surgery, and we have communication with them. If you are worried, I will contact the Cardiac Surgery Department of the Chinese Association of Chinese Medicine for you. The doctor went over to take a look." Dr. Xu's words revealed that major domestic hospitals chose Guozhi instead of Guoxie to send doctors to learn cardiovascular interventional techniques, and now they are receiving requests from patients to consider the other side.
This was the purpose of the patient's friend's call. He thanked me repeatedly: "Sorry for your trouble, Dr. Xu."
"You're welcome. The problem is that he must have re-examinations on time in the future. He can't go on like this. The doctor can't keep installing stents on him. It's not good to install too many stents."
"Yes, yes, Lao Zhang will never dare to do it again in the future."
Finally, I heard a beep and the phone line was disconnected. Several classmates ducked into the operating room door. Like the operating room, the layout here has a restricted area (sterile area), a semi-restricted area (clean area) and a non-restricted area (contaminated area). You must change your shoes and clothes before entering restricted and semi-restricted areas.
The nurse in charge of the interventional operating room saw the medical students and shouted: "Go to the dressing room to change clothes and shoes first. Who wants to go into the operating room for surgery? Those who go into the computer room must wear lead clothing."
A huge difference between the interventional surgery room and the ordinary surgery room is probably this. It is divided into an imaging machine room and a control room, which are separated by a fan glass. This glass is not ordinary glass, it is lead glass, used to prevent radiation.
The imaging machine room is a sterile area where doctors perform surgeries. At this time, there is X-ray radiation inside, and doctors must wear lead suits. Going to the control room is a semi-restricted area and you don't need to wear lead clothing. The control room is where the system is controlled. The glass provided here is helpful for the control room personnel to watch the doctors' operations in the imaging machine room through the glass, and to communicate if there is anything. Generally speaking, superior doctors and teaching teachers will stand in the control room and direct the operations of subordinate doctors. Unlike ordinary operating rooms, teachers can stand directly next to students to guide them.
Even operating room nurses try to avoid entering the imaging machine room when doctors don't need them.
Interventional surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, and unless the patient has special circumstances, an anesthesiologist is not required. The anesthesiologist won't come down.
The bottom line is that everyone is very afraid of ionizing radiation. Especially medical staff who know medical knowledge are even more afraid.
Unlike patients who go into the operating room and come out within an hour, the amount of radiation they receive is within a safe range. Medical staff perform several surgeries every day, and the amount of ionizing radiation they receive over many years can be said to be very harmful to the body. Therefore, a benevolent hospital will allow medical staff who are married and have children to work in the interventional room, and those who are not married and have children will be transferred first. Men and women are the same.
It is easier for the nursing team to adjust to such an arrangement. It’s more difficult for doctors. As for doctors, many of them are young doctors who are about to enter this industry. It is impossible to say that they do not go to school because of this. Learning requires practice and practice, and practice makes perfect in surgery.
Now it is said that there are two male doctors standing in the imaging machine room. One of them is older and has a child, so he has less worries. The other one is an obvious young man who wants to study and doesn't care about radiation.
Entering the dressing room of the medical staff, Pan Shihua, who had been here before, pointed out to several classmates: "That's a lead suit. It's very heavy. You can try it on."
