Chapter 4156 [245] Different

everything's ready.

Assistant Dr. Xie placed his hands on the anterior superior iliac spines on both sides of the patient as if exerting force.

Wait, that's not right.

Is the assistant speed faster? Wen, the "chief surgeon", has not performed acupuncture for the time being.

Acupuncture takes time to take effect, and Chinese medicine has always been slower to produce results than Western medicine. This is the general public perception of Chinese medicine, and Western doctors, no exception, all think this way.

According to the above common sense, the "main surgeon" should perform the acupuncture isothermally, and then the assistant can start the operation according to the situation.

A group of people at the scene looked at Wen, the "chief surgeon".

Dr. Wen Zihan's expression did not indicate that the assistant had done anything wrong.

It's over, a bunch of people are holding their heads in their hearts, and they really can't figure out how these two people are going to complete the treatment goals.

It was too late and then it was too late. When the onlookers couldn't figure out the discussion, "Chief Surgeon" Wen took out the acupuncture needle from the needle box and inserted it into the acupuncture point.

Dr. Wen Zihan's operation speed was very fast, just like the feeling of femtosecond laser in Western medicine. Western doctors who had never seen her perform acupuncture were shocked by this: Is it useful to perform acupuncture so fast?

Dr. Tao and others, who have seen Mr. Wen perform acupuncture, know that Mr. Wen Zihan has technical strength. Don't just focus on the speed of acupuncture, but they will not understand it.

Someone is in great need of explanation at this moment, and everyone's eyes show a sense of impatience.

However, Doctor Xie was stubborn. After officially performing the operation mission as an assistant, it was obvious that he had no time to explain to them.

Fortunately, Dr. Qi Donglai should have listened to Assistant Xie’s previous reminder and retrieved the TCM thinking path map, and added: “There is a big difference between TCM and Western medicine.”

"What is it?" Everyone said in unison, urging him not to show off.

Dr. Qi thought, it’s not that I’m being unreasonable, it’s that it’s hard to explain at once. There are some things that are very different between Chinese medicine and Western medicine: “You Western medicine doctors think that after general anesthesia like this, the muscles should be completely relaxed.”

When we were preparing, it was not just the "chief surgeon" who was preparing. The correct statement is that "chief surgeon" Wen and Assistant Xie were waiting for the anesthesiologist Dr. Liu to make all preparations.

We all know that general anesthesia is a high-risk operation. If a patient like this needs to take muscle relaxants, the anesthesiologist will have to perform in-depth airway management on the patient.

When you hear the word anesthesia airway management, you can immediately think of tracheal intubation. Yes, endotracheal intubation basically corresponds to the muscle relaxation problem that Dr. Qi just mentioned.

In this regard, you may have questions: Is it just short-acting general anesthesia? Is endotracheal intubation needed?

The gastroscopy surgery just happened next door. We usually do gastrointestinal endoscopy without endotracheal intubation. Isn’t it also called short-acting general anesthesia?

People inside and outside the industry generally summarize general anesthesia in this way: as long as the patient is "all asleep", it is called general anesthesia.

If you want to get to the bottom of this issue, anesthesiologist Dr. Liu Jingyun will tell you:

Professional general anesthesia technology requires the use of muscle relaxants, which are referred to as muscle relaxants, but muscle relaxants are auxiliary drugs for general anesthesia.

It means that before general anesthesia, when no muscle relaxant can be used, in order to achieve muscle relaxation, the depth of anesthesia needs to be deepened.

Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the professional terminology of general anesthesia, which should include the degree of anesthesia to achieve muscle relaxation.

The patient who just had a gastroscopy surgery next door does not need muscle relaxants for normal gastrointestinal endoscopy, abortion, etc. The anesthesiologist only needs to inject anesthetic drugs with analgesic, sedative and other effects to the patient through the intravenous channel, which can preserve the patient's spontaneous breathing function.

This type of anesthesia should be classified as monitored anesthesia from a conceptual perspective.

Orthopedic cases mentioned above that muscle relaxation is necessary.
