Chapter 1370: 【1370】Better understanding, greater fear
“I don’t know the doctors from the Guoxie Cardiovascular Departnt, I only know those from Guo Zhi Hospital. I have colleagues in surgery who have exchanges with their Guoxie Cardiothoracic Surgery. If you’re worried, I can help you contact a Guoxie Cardiothoracic Surgery doctor to take a look.” Doctor Seo’s words revealed that when large dostic hospitals send doctors to learn cardiovascular intervention techniques, they choose Guo Zhi Hospital instead of Guoxie. Now they are considering this patient’s request.
The patient’s friend called precisely for this purpose and thanked him repeatedly, “Thank you, Doctor Seo.”
“You’re welco. The problem is that in his situation, he must have regular check-ups from now on. He can’t continue like this. Doctors cannot keep implanting stents; too many stents are not good.”
“Yes, yes, Old Zhang definitely won’t dare in the future.”
Finally, hearing the sound of the phone disconnecting. Several classmates slipped into the operating room door. Like the operating room, the layout here includes a restricted area (sterile zone), a semi-restricted area (clean zone), and a non-restricted area (contaminated zone). Before entering the restricted area and the semi-restricted area, you must change shoes and clothes.
The nurse managing the interventional operating room noticed several dical students and called out, “Go into the changing room first to change clothes and shoes. Who is going into the operating room for surgery? Those going into the imaging room must wear lead suits.”
A major difference between the interventional operating room and a regular one is probably this: they have a separate imaging room and control room, separated by a glass. This glass is not an ordinary glass but leaded glass for radiation protection.
The imaging room belongs to the sterile zone and is where the doctors perform surgery; currently, there is X-ray radiation inside, so doctors must wear lead clothing. The control room is a semi-restricted area where lead clothing is not required, and it is the system control area. The glass here allows the control room staff to observe the doctors’ actions in the imaging room through the glass and communicate if necessary. Generally speaking, senior doctors and teaching instructors will stand in the control room, directing junior doctors. Unlike regular operating rooms, instructors cannot stand directly by the student’s side to guide them.
Even operating room nurses, when not needed by the doctors, will avoid entering the imaging room as much as possible.
Interventional surgery is generally perford under local anesthesia, unless the patient’s condition is special, an anesthesiologist is not needed. The anesthesiologist does not co down.
In summary, everyone is very afraid of ionizing radiation. Especially dical personnel who understand dical knowledge are more afraid.
Unlike patients who enter the operating room for an hour and are exposed to radiation within a safe range, dical personnel perform several surgeries a day, accumulating ionizing radiation over the years, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, benevolent hospitals will allow dical staff who are married and have children to work in the interventional rooms, while those who are not yet married or childless are transferred out, regardless of gender.
Nurses can adjust more easily to such arrangents. It’s more difficult for doctors. Many are young doctors about to enter this field and cannot avoid learning inside. Learning requires practice and hands-on experience, as surgery becos more skillful with practice.
Currently, it’s said that there are two male doctors standing in the imaging room, one older with children, who can have fewer worries. The other is evidently a young person who needs to learn and cannot be concerned with radiation.
Entering the dical staff changing room, Pan Shihua, who has been here before, pointed to several classmates: “That’s lead clothing, very heavy, you can try it.”
