Chapter 4060 [149] Completely Opposite

As a physician, Dr. Zhang Desheng knew that the condition of nephrology patients would be very serious, so he ran all the way, not daring to take a breath halfway.

If you stay in a hospital, you will find that the frequency of rescuing critically ill patients in other departments is not lower than that in the intensive care department.

Here’s another piece of trivia: patients in the intensive care unit are not the most seriously ill.

The low number of intensive care unit beds is one reason.

Secondly, the high cost of intensive care unit prohibits patients and their families.

Third, the directors of each department want to build their own critical care units, which can save patients a little money, try to save patients' lives, and keep business for themselves to increase the department's income.

Can the department build its own intensive care unit?

First of all, people jokingly say that one week of intensive care unit costs a house. It is not an exaggeration.

Dozens and millions of dollars in medical expenses abound, and doctors’ operating fees are a drop in the bucket compared to those in intensive care units.

It can be seen from this that the cost of patients in the intensive care unit is not spent on medical staff, but is absorbed by the cost of various medical equipment consumables and medicines.

To put it bluntly, as long as other departments are willing to introduce and build specialized wards, there is no problem.

The only thing that other departments cannot compare with the intensive care department is: people!

One is professional intensive care doctors and nurses. These are highly professional technical talents who need to be specially trained.

The other is the ratio of beds to doctors and nurses.

Dr. Zhang Desheng is an intensivist and knows the advantages of the intensive care department very well.

Thinking back to the beginning, the reason why he chose the intensive care department was because he believed that this department was the pinnacle of surgical technology, just like the brain surgery equivalent, and the intensive care department should be the pinnacle of internal medicine technology of the general internal medicine department.

From a purely technical point of view, Xueba Zhang is right.

The technology of the intensive care department is specially used to rescue critically ill patients, and the most cutting-edge medical technology must be used.

Many of the most advanced medical equipment in the hospital are accumulated in the intensive care department.

Another point is the great thing about Dr. Zhang, the top student. He has already seen that if the equipment is complete, someone must use it.

When other departments introduce advanced equipment, they will provide relevant training for medical staff. The problem is that medical staff in other departments are far inferior to the critical care department in terms of courage to use it, being able to use it, and using it in a timely manner.

After all, it is impossible to use it skillfully every day like in the intensive care unit, and use it once for a long time with trepidation.

When talking about this, Dr. Zhang Desheng himself once made a rough estimate and comparison of the response time from the discovery of a patient's critical condition to the rescue.

Without the assistance of ECG monitors and other equipment, medical staff in other departments only rely on nurses to make fixed-point inspections or to be discovered by patients in the same ward. There will be a terrible delay in response. Some are even delayed to more than ten minutes. For some patients, this means that the daylily is cold and dead.

This problem does not exist in the intensive care unit.

Therefore, some doctors recommend that patients with financial means must go to the intensive care unit for a few days of observation, not because there are complete equipment there, but because there are people there who can watch you all the time to prevent no one from knowing that you are dying.

"Yingying, it is said that a patient suddenly vomited blood and was critically ill. The situation may have been very critical before. Please come and help check the situation. He is in the Nephrology Department." Dr. Zhang Desheng, who was furious, hurriedly called before arriving at the Nephrology Department. Thanks for the help, classmate.

After Dr. Xie Wanying listened carefully to every word of Dr. Zhang's call for help report from the opposite side, she calmly said: "That may not be the case."

Dr. Zhang Desheng: What? !
