Treatment journey of a woman weighing 24 kilograms (v)

Wednesday morning, I was also early in the morning to the operating room waiting, while the patient has not yet arrived, and the relevant doctors to make the appropriate instructions, such as the patient into the operating room, anesthesia, Gui, director of anesthesia using epidural anesthesia, the patient is to remain awake, lying on the operating table, the patient, inevitably produce fear, to calm the patient’s emotions, such as the patient’s emotions stabilized, then began to prepare for the operation, hand-washing and disinfection. At this time, I do not realize that I remembered the words of the teacher. Torn whether it is necessary to talk to the family once again. After all, the surgery has not yet begun, you can still find a good reason to stop the surgery. Often doctors can become a contradiction, thinking of the risks associated with the patient’s condition, the many unforeseen emergencies during the operation, their own 30 years of technical precipitation and a few days of preparation, there is no need to add to the family’s pressure, and to focus on the operation, is the best answer! The surgery started as expected, with a transverse incision, taking into account the patient’s chronic cough and malnutrition. The small bowel was not treated specifically, and the incision was closed in layers. And reduced tension sutures were used to minimize the possibility of incision splitting. After much rehearsal and anticipation of the unexpected, the operation was completed smoothly and anesthesia was smooth, taking less than an hour. The patient was awake and returned to the hospital room. After explaining clearly to the family what they needed to pay attention to during the operation, a stone fell from my heart. At that moment, I felt joyful. Often times, seeing a patient healed in one’s own hands is the greatest affirmation of one’s 30 years of medical work. Thinking about the complexity of this patient’s overall situation, postoperative recovery is actually another big problem.
