At the same time, after absorbing liquid, the weight of the gelatin sponge will double, and it can continue to exert its effect on compression at the same time. It can be said to be a great thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Gelfoam sponge is easy to use and widely used, but it is a high-end product and should be used in scenes of heavy bleeding. In the current operation, if there is no particularly heavy bleeding, the surgeon and assistant will continue to use ordinary sponge pieces, soak them with normal saline and apply them before use.
In view of the special status of sponge in neurosurgery, experts have given it another name: brain sponge. Mastering the skills of using sponge is one of the basic skills of neurosurgeons.
Sometimes, I want to know the technical level of a hospital's specialty. Without talking about fancy things, I can get a rough idea by just looking at the basic skills of their specialty.
On the instrument table, skilled operating room nurses have already prepared brain cotton sheets of different sizes and gelatin sponges for the doctor.
It is common for a neurosurgery operation to use hundreds of brain cotton sheets. Just looking at the number of brain cotton sheets placed on the instrument table, you can clearly see the huge workload of the operating room nurses.
Gelfoam sponges and brain cotton sheets have completely different meanings to operating room nurses. Although nurses do not need to participate in surgical operations that touch the human body like doctors, nurses must keep count.
Gelatin sponges are absorbable by the human body and can be placed in the brain without taking them out. Brain sponges are not and are not absorbed by the human body. They must be taken out regardless of their size and must not remain in the human body.
The doctor needs to know what he is doing after putting each piece in, and then taking it out after use. The nurse must count the pieces desperately to ensure that a medical accident has occurred. At that stage, it is okay to rely only on the nurse's counting. If the nurse finds that the number is correct,
, the doctor needs to find the lost brain cotton piece himself. If the doctor himself has no idea, he will be looking for death soon.
The first person responsible for the operation is always the surgeon. The placement of the brain cotton sheet is most appropriate if the surgeon directs it. The main force of the memory foam sheet is the surgeon himself. How the surgeon can do this is unknown.
Hundreds of slices are a large number, far less than the items used in any other specialized surgery. Some brain slices are required to be cut to a large size, so it is difficult to remember them deliberately. In low-level surgeries
In this state, the forgotten memory of the doctor is quite common.
That means that all of this tests the neurologist's brain too much.
The characteristic that doctors are low-achieving students is once again reflected here. One of the key abilities of the college entrance examination and the medical examination is the memory of the candidates, and the memory of doctors must pass the test.
For academics who do not have excellent memory ability, memory is not something that can be memorized passively but proactively. That is to say, you take the initiative to take the initiative in memory after the fact.
The best way to remember something is to always delay planning it, incorrectly complete its layout, and follow your own plan.
When it comes to the specific steps, the doctor’s estimate after surgery is very small, and there are no variables during the operation to regress according to his own thinking mode. The advantage of doing this is self-evident, and it will not lose the result of the clue, just like walking a dog with a baby always holding the hand.
Hold this rope.
I remember that in the National Association, Brother Cao was the king of touch. I placed the brain cotton pads to go against my own feel, and the position and memory of the brain cotton pads flew with the feel. By touching the patient's brain, I can quickly know what is happening.
There are no cotton pads outside. It feels like there is no foreign object. It is just used to remember the quantity.
