Chapter 81 The unique application of erythromycin eye ointment
"Is it true, mom, is what brother said true? Xiaoyun knows that she can only get better by changing the dressing, but, mom, Xiaoyun really hurts..."
Xiaoyun looked at her mother in fear, not only because of the pain, but also because of her mother's worry.
So far, she has changed medicine twice, and each time it made her extremely painful. She also wanted to be sensible and listen to her mother, but it really hurt!
"Xiao Yun, good boy, didn't you hear what this brother said? He is the best at changing dressings in Hecheng. He will definitely alleviate your pain to the greatest extent. Good boy."
Lu Xuefei gently touched Xiaoyun's forehead. Of course she knew that Tanglou was so young, how could he have top-notch dressing-changing skills?
Of course, she would not expose Tanglou's good intentions.
Ma En was a little dissatisfied with Tanglou's arrogance, but he also knew that it was to comfort the patient.
The two communicated with Lu Xuefei for a while and decided on a dressing change time in the afternoon.
The two walked out of the ward.
"Tanglou, you are right to stabilize the patient's mood, but you can't exaggerate like this in the future. If Dr. Qing hears you dare to say that, he will have to give you a good lecture. Doctors must not exaggerate. If they can't do this, it will easily cause medical disputes.
."
Ma En scolded her sternly and sighed: "Actually, I also hope that you really have the best dressing changing technology in the city. Xiaoyun is really pitiful. The previous dressing changes have left a shadow.
Only those who have experienced it can know how heartbreaking it is to change dressings for burns, even adults can't bear it..."
After all, Ma En is only a junior resident doctor. Sometimes when he encounters helpless patients, his mood cannot be adjusted quickly. After he comes out of the ward, his whole body is clouded.
"I still have to write the medical records. You should start changing the dressing with Du Xue first, and then do the next two cases one by one. If Xiaoyun can't handle it, just give up."
Ma En gave another instruction.
"It's okay, Doctor Ma. I'm confident in my dressing-changing skills."
Tanglou smiled and had already made three tailor-made dressing change plans in his mind.
"Okay, Nurse Linga will cooperate with you in a while. If you need any equipment or medicines, just ask her."
After Ma En finished speaking, he left the ward area.
Tanglou returned to Du Xue's ward, ready to start with her.
"Du Xue, follow me to change the pharmacy."
Tang Lou smiled and said while helping her get up from the bed.
The little girl's hands were stretched straight, not daring to move at all, and she followed behind Tang Lou obediently. Relatively speaking, the underarm gland resection is already a very light operation. The dressing can be changed three or four times, and you can basically be discharged from the hospital.
The sutures can usually be removed within a week.
Soon, Tang Lou and Du Xue arrived at the changing pharmacy.
Lin Jia had already prepared various items for Tang Lou, but she was a little surprised that Tang Lou specifically requested erythromycin eye ointment.
It was not used when changing Du Xue's dressing before, but since it was Tanglou's dressing change, Lin Jia respected her opinion.
Tanglou first washed his hands, put on a mask and a hat, and then checked some items: sterile cotton swabs or cotton balls, sterile saline, 3% hydrogen peroxide, 0.5% iodophor, erythromycin eye ointment, sterile dressing, breathable dressing
Tape.
Since she had suffered from the drug once before, Du Xue had already arranged her posture obediently, with her armpits raised and exposed.
Seeing that Tanglou was getting ready, Du Xue felt a little embarrassed anyway and turned her head away, not daring to look directly at Tanglou.
Tang Lou very skillfully began to remove the dressing, first taking out the outer layer with his hands, and then using tweezers to take out the inner layer.
The strong ten fingers controlled the forceps and quickly peeled off the dressing along the longitudinal axis of the wound.
Lin Jia was immediately attracted by Tanglou's skillful movements. He thought to himself: This Tanglou is really quite capable. He is very particular about the direction of removing the dressing. Some interns who are inexperienced don't pay attention to the direction at all. How do they do it?
Anyway, if it is perpendicular to the direction of the wound, it will easily affect the wound and increase the tension of the wound. Not only will it cause a lot of pain, but it may also tear the wound.
On the other hand, Tanglou followed the direction of the wound, gently peeled it off, and smoothly put the dirty dressing into the tray designed to hold dirt.
Du Xue was ready to grit her teeth, but there was no pain at all in her armpits. Before she could react, she felt a moist coolness, icy and very comfortable.
"Huh?"
Du Xue lowered her head and saw Tang Lou holding a cotton swab and gently wiping it on his armpit.
Seeing Tang Lou's focused and serious expression, Du Xue's face suddenly turned red.
Because of the body odor, she wiped her armpits with Xishchlan every day, so over time the underarms became dark and ugly. The armpit hair was shaved due to the surgery, and the ugly wounds were caused by the surgery...
Du Xue was embarrassed and shy, but Tanglou didn't care at all, nor did he have any mood swings. He cleaned the wound carefully and quietly.
Tang Lou then dipped it in 3% hydrogen peroxide and thoroughly cleaned the wound area of blood, exudate, dry scab and surrounding skin.
Afterwards, I used 0.5% iodophor to disinfect the wound in front of a sterile surface, gradually starting from the edge of the wound outward.
Watching Tang Lou calmly and focused on cleaning his armpits, he didn't dislike it at all. Occasionally, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction. Du Xue didn't know why, her nose felt sour, and she said silently in her heart:
"Thank you, Doctor Tang."
Du Xue is a very sensitive little girl. Body odor really makes her sad and makes her feel low self-esteem.
She always remembered that when she was about 13 or 14 years old, she discovered that she had body odor. Later, her father went to buy Xishichana Xialu and secretly asked her mother to give it to her without telling her directly for fear of embarrassing her.
She inherited it from her mother.
From that time on, Du Xue had a particularly low self-esteem and even complained about her parents in her heart.
I hate summer. As long as someone is around, I don't dare to make any big moves.
Since body odor surgery can only be performed after the age of 16, she has always been worried.
Since she has been using Sishchlan, almost no one seems to know that she has body odor. She uses it after bathing, regardless of the above mentioned use of it once a week.
Due to frequent use, her armpits are extremely dark, dead skinned, and occasionally stinging, so she dare not wear short sleeves at all.
Later, as time passed, she gradually discovered that many people actually have body odor.
One year when I was in the third grade of junior high school, a very elegant old aunt was on the bus. She had no seat and was pulling on the ring. The inevitable smell came out. At that time, the aunt opposite quickly covered her nose and said:
The particularly disgusting expression was always very obvious.
Du Xue immediately felt sad when she saw the old aunt's eyes.
At that time, I really felt sorry for her and was so afraid that others would dislike me in the same way.
Du Xue endured the sadness in her heart and stood firmly beside her, trying her best to do something, thinking that she could give her a little comfort, even just a little...
Just like Tang Lou is doing now, cleaning her wounds without any objection at all, she can feel the warmth of Tang Lou.
Soon Tanglou gently exposed the wound and looked up at Du Xue warmly:
"My next dressing change method may be slightly different. I will use erythromycin eye ointment to apply to the wound surface. The next time I remove the dressing, the wound will not be stretched, and I will use erythromycin eye ointment.
The scar will be very small, and you don’t have to worry about the wound being ugly in the future.”
Du Xue snorted slightly, choking a little.
After Tang Lou explained, he applied erythromycin eye ointment at the same time, followed by regular dressing.
The whole process was very fast, and Du Xue was finished without much pain.
Lin Jia on the side was naturally paying attention to Tang Lou's movements and Du Xue's expression.
The patient's pain response cannot lie. It seems that Tang Lou's technique is really good.
"Awesome."
Lin Ga looked at Tanglou with some admiration, and was even more curious about his use of erythromycin eye ointment.
After Tanglou completed the dressing change, he looked at Lin Ga and explained: "During clinical dressing changes, we often encounter tight adhesion between the dressing and the wound. In 85% of patients with open wounds, removing the dressing is the most painful part of the local care process.
Operation. A slight carelessness when removing the dressing will increase the tension of the wound, leading to secondary damage. This not only increases the difficulty and frequency of dressing changes, but is also detrimental to wound healing, causing patients to have fear every time they change dressings.
The addition of erythromycin eye ointment applied externally to the wound will have good results. I will detail the details in the medical record later."
"Nurse Lin can try it later. After that, we will change the dressing for the second patient."
