Chapter 1017 [1017] Comforting the Boss with Terminology

Even so, it's not good for a doctor to talk empty words to patients, especially when facing Mr. Lu, a boss with rich medical knowledge.

"Teacher, don't worry too much." Xie Wanying told Teacher Lu that in addition to presenting cruel facts, a doctor also needs to bring new hope to patients so as not to make them despair. "Medical technology has new changes all the time. So Regarding the two difficulties I mentioned before, regarding the first point, our hospital already has this three-dimensional TEE esophageal echocardiography examination."

TEE.

A group of people were a little confused when they suddenly heard her mention this relatively unheard of technology.

TEE is transesophageal echocardiography, which originated in the 1980s. It was two-dimensional at first, and developed to three-dimensional in the early 1990s. Now some are studying four-dimensional. The clinical application of this technology has been very limited since its inception. Most doctors are not optimistic about the prospects of the technology itself. The reason is that its operation is like a gastric tube, which requires anesthesia for patients, which is a troublesome thing for both patients and doctors, so it has not been able to be widely promoted clinically.

"I seem to have heard what you said. Is it true that very few people do this test?" Teacher Lu asked her, "Is it also an echocardiogram?"

The teacher is a master of pharmacy, so he may be relatively unfamiliar with clinical examination items. I'm not a specialist in this area and I didn't think about it in the past. I can only think of TTE, which is also an echocardiogram, at the first time.

"The teacher said TTE." Xie Wanying explained, "TTE is widely used clinically. Basically, patients with suspected organic heart disease will undergo this examination for further investigation. TTE is transthoracic echocardiography. Use the chest wall to explore the inside of the heart. TEE is to enter the esophagus and use the probe to probe the heart. From the comparison of the distance between the two and the heart, TEE must be closer to the heart. So there are several advantages of TEE here. If you want To detect cardiac structures far away from the chest wall, such as the atrium and great vessels, it is obvious that TEE has advantages over TTE, and it will be more clearly illuminated."

Teacher Lu seemed to be fascinated by her words. He kept listening, his eyes focused on her face, and he hardly moved.

It was as if the child had magic in her mouth when she spoke of knowledge.

Teacher Lu thought that it might be that her speech was concise and concise, with the depth and confidence of her understanding of medicine, which was enough to convince people.

If it was a boss talking like this, no one would think anything. The problem is that this kid is just a medical student, so she can only be deeply surprised.

The people around were equally astonished to hear Xie Wanying's words, and there were many of them.

"Its probe can be rotated, and it can detect important structures such as the auricle, pulmonary vein, and atrial septum from an angle. There is no lung tissue anatomically between the esophagus and the heart, and it is not afraid of affecting the lungs. Higher frequency can be used. These advantages are beyond the reach of other inspection items such as TTE." Xie Wanying said the last sentence to summarize the main points, "The probe is in the esophagus, which means that continuous intraoperative monitoring can be carried out in cardiovascular surgery. Cardiovascular doctors and anesthesiologists are of great significance.

is that so? People in other departments look at people outside their hearts?

Some even looked at Zhang Tinghai who was doing anesthesia.

Zhang Tinghai was completely dumbfounded. They are engaged in anesthesia, but they have never thought of using cardiovascular equipment for intraoperative detection. Is this a new research direction?

Haven't heard her mention it? Zhang Tinghai glanced at Xie Wanying's face, and began to suspect that she also had some knowledge in anesthesiology.
