"Lao Wang, did you sleep well last night? The expression is a little serious today. Is it not a good rest? "
5 12, Saturday morning, and most people were still asleep on Saturday morning, and the nurses in the Fifth People's Hospital of Hangzhou (hereinafter referred to as the fifth hospital of Yuhang) had been busy in the ICU (intensive care) ward. Some patients in
ICU lived for several years. Many patients are unable to speak because of endotracheal intubation. How do they communicate between doctors and patients?
the patient's mouth can not speak hands can not move
basically depends on guessing
yesterday morning, Qianjiang Evening News reporter came to the ICU ward of the five hospitals in Yuhang. On the same day, it was the international nurse's day.
head nurse, Li Min, said that ICU had 14 nurses and had 8 beds. "The patient's vital signs need 24 hours of monitoring. Because of the relationship between larynx intubation, patients in ICU can't communicate with each other. In addition to helping patients infusion, sputum absorption, oxygen inhalation, at five or six in the morning, it is necessary to help patients, change clothes, change bed sheets; every two hours to help the patient to turn over, tapping on the back; every 8 hours to help the patient to do a oral care, but also do perineal care. If you don't have enteral nutrition, you need to help feed. " Lao Wang, 70 years old in
1 bed, has lived in ICU for five years in Yuhang five years. Lao Wang was diagnosed with motor neuron disease, which is what we usually call progressive freezing disease.
doctors and nurses recollected that when Lao Wang just entered ICU, he had a tracheal intubation, his mouth was unable to speak, his hands were unable to move, and his mind was clear, which made him unable to accept the reality and was in a bad mood. Every time there was a demand, because the nurses could not communicate, they could check it from head to toe again and again.
in addition to Lao Wang, those who enter ICU are all critically ill patients.
"the patient has lived for a long time. We are familiar with it. We can learn from the eyes of the other and the directions of the fingers, but we always think there is a good way to improve the difficulty of communication." ICU's nurse said.
