Xinmin Evening News (reporter Gaoyang correspondent Gao Xiang and Li Han) Sixty-year-old patients with mild symptoms of new coronary pneumonia are in the makeshift hospital There was a scalp abscess inside, and a “ping-pong ball” protruded from the side of the right forehead. After the doctor on duty of the Shanghai Aid Medical Team found out, he used the blade and iodophor in the first aid kit to perform abscess incision and row surgery to relieve the pain. After a week of dressing changes and nursing care, the patient’s wound had completely healed when he was discharged from the hospital today.
Mr. Sun, 65, tested positive for nucleic acid in late April and was sent to the W1 cabin of Shanghai New International Expo Center Fangcang Cabin Hospital as a patient with new coronavirus pneumonia (light). On the second day after being admitted to the hospital, Mr. Sun had swelling and pain in the right temporal area. After the W1 cabin doctor and the deputy leader of the Shanghai-aided medical team of Zhongnan Hospital, Shen Jun, found it, he immediately went to check and found that Mr. Sun’s right temporal scalp had a diameter of 3 The abscess is slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball, and it fluctuates when pressed lightly. The inquiry learned that Mr. Sun had underlying diseases such as high blood pressure level 3, and the pain on the right side of the scalp became more and more intense. In order to relieve the pain and avoid greater risks, Shen Jun immediately called for the first aid kit from the Fangcang shelter hospital, while asking Sun The gentleman lay down on the bed and prepared sterile blades, cotton balls, etc. Holding a blade, Shen Jun carefully cut an incision of about 2 mm in the abscess. After squeezing and draining the pus, he used gauze strips soaked in iodophor to make a drainage strip to slowly drain the accumulated pus in the abscess. Iodophor cotton balls are applied externally to wounds to sterilize and reduce inflammation. 15 minutes later, the surgery for the right temporal scalp abscess in the square cabin was successfully completed. Mr. Sun immediately said, “The forehead pain is gone, and the person is much more relaxed.” Under the careful care of the Shanghai-aided medical team for a week, Mr. Sun’s wounds gradually healed. After two consecutive nucleic acid tests for “double yin”, on May 9, he reached the discharge standard and went out of the cabin smoothly.
“As a doctor, whenever I see a patient’s discomfort, I should find a way to use my professional skills to help them relieve their pain and restore their health as soon as possible.” said Shen Jun , The blood supply of the scalp is very rich. During the cutting and drainage of scalp abscesses, it is necessary to avoid damage to blood vessels and stop bleeding in time. However, Mr. Sun suffers from type 2 diabetes and grade 3 hypertension, and these factors increase the risk. Fortunately, the preparation was fully prepared and the operation was meticulous. With the active cooperation of the patient, the first operation in Zone 3 of the W1 cabin was completed.
