Monday is bound to be a busy morning with five procedures in the anorectal surgery room.
Despite being very busy, Dr. Liu, who is in charge of anesthesia, is very patient.
He told himself: It’s just work, but it’s not work for the patient. For them, they came because they had great trust in the hospital. Since they trust us, we should do this well.
Anesthesia in anorectal department is nothing more than caudal block or spinal anesthesia. Dr. Liu will choose caudal block for those who are easy to perform anesthesia and not in a hurry for surgery. If the anesthesia is not good or there are many surgeries, spinal anesthesia will be directly selected.
The third operation was performed by a woman in her forties. It is said that sitting in the office every day.
Learning about this, Dr. Liu could not help but sigh: Sitting every day, can I get rid of hemorrhoids? If you come to our department for anesthesia and walk tens of thousands of steps a day, you will never get hemorrhoids!
After the patient was lying on the operating table, Dr. Liu started the injection of anesthesia.
However, as soon as her hand was placed on her waist, she ducked nervously. With this dodge, the position that was just set up changed again.
Even Dr. Liu, who was very patient, could not help but sternly asked her to stop moving.
When administering this anesthesia, the anesthesiologist finds the target within the spine within the millimeter. The slightest mistake can lead to serious consequences.
If the patient does not move, the anesthesiologist’s hand is still accurate; if the patient moves, no one dares to say that the anesthesia will be successful or that there will be no complications.
After feeling the seriousness of the anesthesiologist, she really didn’t dare to move.
In a short while, the anesthesia is ready.
When the anesthesiologist told her that the anesthesia was ready, she asked in disbelief: Is it really ready? Scared me! Ten years ago, this anesthesia hurt me to death!
After a consolation, it was the anorectal department’s turn to play.
The current surgical technique is very mature, and the operation is over after more than 20 minutes.
At this time, the transfer vehicle in the operating room is occupied by other operating rooms. Therefore, she could only wait on the operating table for a while.
Laying down, she suddenly asked Dr. Liu: Don’t you need to take off the pillow?
Not required.
Feeling she had questions, Dr. Liu asked her: Is the pillow uncomfortable?
No, pillows were not allowed during the last surgery. At that time, it would be a headache to say anything.
Dr. Liu comforted: Times are different! At that time, the needles used were thick, and the cerebrospinal fluid could easily leak out and cause headaches. At present, the use of spinal anesthesia is rare, and most of them use the intra-needle acupuncture technique. This needle is almost as thick as a hair. A leak of cerebrospinal fluid can cause headaches, but only by chance.
She was relieved to hear this.
She explained that she has cervical spondylosis. When you don’t have a pillow, you will feel dizzy. The last surgery, can suffer.
Hearing this, Dr. Liu fell into contemplation: the era of “go to bed on your back” is over!
