My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 1231 - 485: Rectal Repair Surgery, Director Qu Requests to Join_2
Just performing Level 3 and Level 4 major surgeries, as long as they’re not particularly complex, Zhou Can can lead a simple surgical team to complete five or six cases a day, which is two to three times more than others.
When it comes to surgical speed, only the former Xu Yidao could surpass him.
Nowadays, Dr. Xu, carrying a burden, seeks no longer speed but rather safety and stability.
He’s getting older, and can’t output as crazily as a young guy like Zhou Can.
"No need for that!"
Qu Zi glanced at the anesthesia nurse and then replied to Zhou Can.
Instrument nurses and circulating nurses are assistants to the lead surgeon. Anesthesia nurses are assistants to the anesthesiologist.
Like surgical nurses, anesthesia nurses are also a special category among nurses.
They require highly specialized skills.
They can become the left arm and right hand of anesthesiologists, helping with many tasks.
"There’s still a major surgery in the afternoon, why don’t you eat here! You can discuss the surgical plan while eating."
Actually, the discussion had already taken place.
Zhou Can said this just to give her and the anesthesia nurse a reason to stay for a meal.
"Alright then! Qin Yue doesn’t eat spicy food."
Qu Zi nodded in agreement.
Zhou Can signaled Ma Xiaolan to call and order food.
It must be mentioned that the previous management of the operating room was strict; doctors were not allowed to bring cell phones inside.
As for watches, rings, earrings, and other jewelry, they were not allowed in the operating room.
They could be left in the changing room.
Tu Ya’s management is currently quite humanized, even allowing intern doctors to bring cell phones into the operating room. The premise is that they must be set to silent mode.
If your phone rings while a senior doctor is performing surgery, you are most likely to get scolded.
As for patients reporting to media journalists that doctors play with mobile phones in the operating room, that basically won’t happen. Above the waist can be considered a relatively sterile area; during surgery, hands must be cleaned and disposable sterile gloves must be worn.
Sometimes, even double gloves are needed.
For example, in performing a cervical examination on a pregnant woman, experienced midwives will wear double gloves on the right hand.
After completing the examination, the outer layer is discarded, thus reducing the chance of infection for the pregnant woman during surgery.
More than half an hour later, the surgery was completed.
Actually, when Zhou Can entrusted the finishing work of the surgery to Yang Zhi, the surgery was basically already a success.
"After sending the patient to the recovery room, everyone go to the break room to quickly eat and rest for a while. Prepare to perform the second major surgery consecutively."
Currently, when performing general Level 3 major surgeries, Dr. Xu occasionally just comes to take a brief look and leaves.
He is very confident in Zhou Can.
Unless it’s a high-risk, particularly difficult surgery, Zhou Can only proactively asks Dr. Xu to come and assist.
With the addition of Yang Zhi, plus the quick growth of Ma Xiaolan, their team now has no need to call someone else for help when performing ordinary Level 3 surgeries.
If Dr. Pu from Cardiothoracic Surgery can join his surgical team in the next few days, the team will expand once more, making his surgical team more complete.
...
In the break room, everyone was already starving, each person with a box of fast food.
Even a graceful girl like Qiao Yu was eating crazily.
"Dr. Zhou, I wonder if you’ve heard about the reform plans for the Anesthesiology Department?"
Qu Zi started a conversation with Zhou Can.
She looks to be close to forty years old and is currently an associate chief physician. Her professional skill is quite impressive.
Moreover, Zhou Can believes her potential is much greater than Director Dongfang Xuexue.
"I’ve been busy with this and that lately, haven’t paid attention to these things. How is Anesthesiology being reformed?"
Zhou Can asked curiously.
"The reform in General Surgery has seen some initial success, and the hospital’s top management plans to experiment in other departments gradually." She brushed the hair that fell down.
The division of General Surgery into multiple sub-departments achieved medical field specialization, and it’s indeed quite good.
According to Director Liu who told Zhou Can, the multiple sub-departments in General Surgery have already experienced comprehensive growth. This includes outpatient and emergency visit numbers, surgery numbers, inpatient numbers, the resolution of difficult cases, and even an increase in academic paper numbers.
This also means General Surgery has become stronger than before.
Therefore, it’s a good thing.
The reform is considered successful.
It also borrowed management experiences from advanced major hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai, so it’s not surprising to achieve success.
"In the future, anesthesiologists and nurses in the Anesthesiology Department might be further fixed to specific surgical departments."
She revealed the reform plan for Anesthesiology.
Currently, anesthesiologists in the Anesthesiology Department mostly work across departments. For example, Qu Zi might be at the Emergency Department today, at the Colorectal Surgery tomorrow, and then at Cardiothoracic Surgery the day after. Wherever there’s need, she goes to that department.
This cross-department model is actually unfavorable for the growth of anesthesiologists.
Because anesthesiologists face different types of diseases, their understanding and perception are not the same.
The cross-department model will lower their professional skill levels.
"I think the reform is quite good. I once visited a classmate and had the chance to see the anesthesiologists at the Provincial People’s Hospital, who had already achieved anesthesia specialization. For example, those responsible for cardiovascular only handle anesthesia for surgeries in that area. That anesthesiologist appeared to be more professional in many aspects, even more than the lead surgeon. I was quite amazed at the time."
Ma Xiaolan added from the side.
"Indeed it is. Now several large hospitals across the country have implemented anesthesia specialization. Especially Beijing and Shanghai, and a certain hospital in Zhengzhou, their anesthesiologist professional standards have already matched international levels. Our Tuya Hospital is considered quite backward."
