Chapter 335: Chapter 164: Forethought and Seeking the Cause of 7 Patients’ Illnesses

The construction of ICUs abroad has an unclear origin, but in China, the earliest ICU construction was led by anesthesiologists.

Speaking of this, we must first introduce the Ergency Departnt.

Previously, dostic hospitals did not have an Ergency Departnt; it erged later to rescue critically ill patients. Subsequently, a series of standards and discipline definitions were established, finally matching its na, and all ergency patients could register at the Ergency Departnt.

Moreover, the Ergency Departnt cannot reject patients.

Also, specialty clinics do not see patients at night.

The Ergency Departnt has doctors on duty 24 hours a day, requiring a doctor to see any patient who registers at any ti.

With these two golden standards, the Ergency Departnt later gained so privileges.

For example, when an accident patient was brought in without relatives, it was impossible to contact the families or direct relatives for a while. The patient’s life was in danger, and according to hospital rules, treatnt could not be administered without a family mber’s signature and paynt.

In such cases, the Ergency Departnt gained an extra privilege; during working hours, without family signatures, they directly contact the dical Departnt, and then the head of the Ergency Departnt signs on their behalf.

No one pays, but if surgery or resuscitation is not arranged imdiately, the patient will die instantly.

Easy to handle!

They treat first and deal with debt later.

Even today, the departnt with the most bad debts in hospitals is still the Ergency Departnt.

Besides these privileges, ergency examinations generally are marked as urgent.

Many of them can be prioritized without queuing.

Specialties need to wait for a bed to be available before you can be admitted.

The Ergency Departnt isn’t so strict; if necessary, lying in the observation room is also okay.

Surely, you doctors can’t just watch a patient die in the hospital, right?

With many conveniences and privileges, patients extrely like the services of the Ergency Departnt.

Thus, the Ergency Departnt beca the busiest departnt in the entire hospital.

Heads of major specialties, experts, various doctors, and nurses, seeing all patients rushing to the Ergency Departnt, naturally disagreed.

Consequently, the inherently deficient Ergency Departnt turned into a triage transfer station.

Only dealing with ergency and critically ill patients, and only performing preliminary treatnt, guiding patients to the corresponding specialties for continued treatnt once their condition stabilizes.

This way, the specialty departnts felt more at ease.

It’s like having an assistant to preliminarily screen and handle patients.

When patients are sent for specialty treatnt, the dical staff of the specialties can proceed slowly and thodically.

Specialties found life much more comfortable than before the existence of the Ergency Departnt.

And crucially, inco did not decrease.

Because the Ergency Departnt only provides initial treatnt, the majority of dical costs such as dication, surgeries, and hospitalization fees, the Ergency Departnt hardly gets a fraction.

But the workload of the Ergency Departnt is more than any specialty.

They also constantly endure various abuses and even assaults from patients and families.

The work in the Ergency Departnt is exhausting and dangerous, and the inco is low.

Therefore, there’s a saying in the dical field, advising soone to join the Ergency Departnt is like risking being struck by lightning.

Over ti, there are few doctors who are genuinely willing to work in the Ergency Departnt long-term. Especially those capable doctors, after gaining experience, they transfer to more influential departnts, leading a good life with a higher status.

Not being able to retain elite-level doctors inevitably leads to poor resuscitation levels in the Ergency Departnt.

What to do?

Later, the Intensive Care dicine Departnt appeared.

So critically ill patients from the Ergency Departnt, when things get tough, are taken care of by the dical staff of the Intensive Care dicine Departnt to save lives.

In terms of life support and monitoring, anesthesiologists are naturally top-notch.

This is also why the backbone doctors in the early stages of the Intensive Care dicine Departnt in China were mostly anesthesiologists.

Later on, nutritional support from Internal dicine integrated into the Intensive Care dicine Departnt, complenting the life-support asures of the anesthesiologists. This combination was quite perfect.

Gradually, so critically ill patients admitted to the ICU no longer entered alive only to be carried out dead.

The number of patients transferred alive to general wards has gradually increased.

To this date, the Intensive Care dicine Departnt has incorporated diagnostic technologies from the dical Departnt, nutritional support from Internal dicine, life monitoring and support from Anesthesiology, and surgical support from Surgery. Such as invasive ventilators, tracheotomy intubation, catheterization, and more.

It can be said that the current Intensive Care dicine Departnt represents the comprehensive strength of a hospital.

Drawing elite dical staff from various departnts to provide the best dical resources, life support, and various treatnts to patients.

However, no matter how much it develops, anesthesiologists, with their initial advantage, still play a crucial role in the Intensive Care dicine Departnt.

“Originally Dr. Shi was an anesthesiologist, his taciturn nature can be understood now. Do you think the developnt of the Intensive Care dicine Departnt is better compared to that of Anesthesiology?”

Zhou Can is very curious, which departnt is better?

Anesthesiology, Intensive Care dicine Departnt, for most doctors, these two departnts appear relatively mysterious.

Little is known about the inco and developnt prospects.

“Each has its rits! Dr. Shi’s transition to the Intensive Care dicine Departnt is considered very successful. Although he also reached the Chief Level in Anesthesiology, his professional title remained unchanged after transferring. But this year, he is very likely to be promoted to an associate senior professional title. If he were still in Anesthesiology, it might not be guaranteed.”

Getting promoted to an associate senior professional title is a hurdle for many chief physicians.

At least one provincial-level project, three core journal articles are enough to stump many.
