Lying on your side,bending your knees,backing your back,holding your hands-is this a special shape?No,this is an intraoperative lying-in style designed by the Department of Ophthalmology of Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a special elderly person undergoing cataract surgery.
One day in April this year,an 80-year-old man with a hunchback of 60°went to the ophthalmology clinic with the help of his family.In the face of such an elderly patient with severe spine deformities,it is very difficult to do various eye examinations.Under the careful arrangement of the medical staff,after repeatedly helping the elderly to change their positions,it took more than an hour to complete various eye examinations,and finally diagnosed with senile cataracts.The next problem is that the old man has a severe hunchback and cannot lie on his back,so he cannot perform cataract surgery.I had been forced to give up surgical treatment in other hospitals due to the same difficulties before.The family members were very anxious,and Director Liu Laifu decided decisively to admit them to the hospital first,then study the surgical plan,and overcome all difficulties to complete the operation.
Under the leadership of Director Liu and the chief nurse,the general department repeatedly researched,did not hesitate to try various side-lying experiments,and communicated with the chief nurse of the operating room many times.Finally,it is scheduled to perform cataract surgery for the elderly on April 28.For such a severely hunchbacked patient,it is difficult to perform one eye surgery and enter the operating room a second time.At the same time,performing binocular surgery will be very stressful due to posture.After a comprehensive weighing,Director Liu decided to perform binocular surgery.Under the careful arrangement of the chief nurse Qu Hua and the nurses in the operating room,the old man was allowed to lie on his side with a thick quilt on his back.The patient's legs were bent at the knees,and the chief nurse kept holding the patient's back with both hands.Because he couldn't lie down for a long time,the old man had to flip his body from time to time,and the head nurse kept supporting him.With the cooperation of everyone,Director Liu Laifu successfully completed the operation in less than 40 minutes.The moment he put down the scalpel,he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:“It's so difficult!It's finally done!”The next day,the old man's binocular vision returned to 0.5,and he was discharged from the hospital smoothly on the third day.
In recent years,Director Liu Laifu of Ophthalmology has performed eye surgery for the super-elderly over the age of 90 many times,many of whom have been refused admission by the hospital due to high risks.Under the leadership of Director Liu,ophthalmology has developed rapidly and can perform many high-level operations.It has become a key department at the hospital level and a trusted ophthalmology treatment base for patients.
