Emergency surgery requires a written preoperative discussion.
In clinical practice, a preoperative discussion is usually required whenever surgery is performed. It is just that emergency surgeries are usually more urgent, so the writing will be relatively simple.
Emergency preoperative discussion of the personnel are mainly operators and anesthesiologists, by the current duty of the deputy chief physician or above presided over the meeting, to clarify the purpose of the operation as well as intraoperative and postoperative complications that may occur, so as to protect the patient’s surgical safety.
Initial judgment on the condition is usually made after the doctors’ discussion, and the surgery needs to be carried out immediately, otherwise the patient’s condition may be delayed and the patient’s life may be in danger.
Conducting preoperative discussions can not only safeguard the safety of patients, but also improve medical records, accumulate treatment experience and improve the level of treatment.
