Dr. Liu probably had never heard of this new term, and he looked a little confused.
Some of the doctors around may have heard of it, but most of them have never heard of it. They were as confused as Dr. Liu. In the process of integrating domestic technology with foreign technology, an introduction person is first needed. This introducer may be a person in a domestic industry who thinks it is easy to use and promote the application to peers, or it may be a foreign expert.
Industry professionals entering the country directly recommend it to their peers in the domestic circle. Opportunities are various academic exchange meetings. As we all know, the topics of academic exchange meetings always focus on hot topics in the circle. When a technology is immature, it is not appropriate to use it for academic exchanges. no one knows
We don’t know whether it will work or not, and if we roll it out to colleagues for use, if feedback comes back that a medical accident has occurred, no one can afford the serious consequences.
These situations all show that the promotion of a new technology is not easy.
What’s more, new technologies are emerging all over the world. Domestic new technologies may not be promoted for several years, leaving many peers in the industry unaware of them.
PIO originated a few years ago. It has a short development history and few clinical applications. There are few research papers discussing it, and it is not a hot topic in the industry. It would be several years before its real importance became apparent. This situation is consistent with the development track of domestic treatment and treatment of critically ill patients. In other words, most hospitals currently do not have enough money to pay attention to u. For example, the National Association has not discussed the introduction of a machine for several years.
result. What is the use of introducing this technology? It has no purpose, cannot be used, it is brought in to be idle. You know, even old technologies like CVP have become idle technologies in many hospitals. Doctors know that this technology is good, but they also know that most citizens cannot afford the medical expenses for critically ill patients. As long as the treatment lasts longer,
The family simply gave up on the patient if they had no money. In such a situation, using CVP for a day or two will only make it feel useless.
The treatment of critically ill patients requires a protracted battle, and medicine cannot bring such patients back to life within a day or two.
Back to the original topic, why is u so expensive? It’s not just the cost of treatment. Monitoring and examination are very important in the treatment of critically ill patients. Because critically ill patients are extremely fragile, doctors are walking on thin ice when treating them. If they can't get regular examinations and tests to understand the patient's real-time condition, the last
Treatments can be counterproductive.
The cost of these tests can be said to be roughly equal to the cost of treatment. For example, after being put on ECMO, the cost of daily blood tests is calculated in thousands.
Without the support of big donors, few families in China could afford such expensive inspection fees.
As a new technology, the various costs of using PIO are definitely much more expensive than CVP.
What this new technology is, Dr. Liu and other doctors present are very interested in knowing about it. After all, Xie said that it has many advantages and is a breakthrough compared to the traditional CVP technology. The PIO is also a machine, connected to the measuring tube. During measurement, the operator injects a certain amount of ice-cold saline into the central venous catheter. Let the ice-cold saline pass through the central vein to the right atrium, right ventricle, and then to the lungs, then into the left atrium, left ventricle, and then to the femoral artery or brachial axillary artery, etc., where a PIO arterial catheter is placed, and the temperature is measured. .
