What to pay attention to in ophthalmic surgery
Ophthalmic surgery is a medical procedure that requires high professional skills and fine operation. Both patients and doctors need to pay special attention to some key matters during the operation to ensure the smooth operation and patient safety. The following will elaborate on the key points of ophthalmic surgery from four aspects: preoperative preparation, surgical operation, postoperative nursing and operating environment.
Preoperative preparation
Preoperative preparation is an important link in ophthalmic surgery. First, doctors need to know the patient's medical history and symptoms in detail to make accurate diagnosis and surgical selection. Secondly, patients need regular preoperative examinations, including eye examination, blood examination and electrocardiogram, to assess the risks and contraindications of the surgery. In addition, patients should stop using specific drugs before surgery, such as anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs, to avoid the risk of intraoperative bleeding.
In addition, preoperative preparation also includes guiding patients to understand the surgical process and risks, and signing the informed consent form. Doctors and nurses need to fully communicate with patients, answer their doubts and provide professional advice to ensure that patients understand the purpose, effect and possible complications of surgery.
Operation
Operation is the core of ophthalmic surgery, which requires doctors to have professional technical level and keen observation. First of all, doctors need to fully disinfect and wash hands before the operation to ensure that the operation process is sterile. Secondly, doctors need to correctly select and use surgical instruments and follow strict operating procedures to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation. During the operation, the doctor needs to maintain a focused and stable operation posture at all times to avoid sliding of surgical instruments or accidental injury to patients.
Ophthalmic surgery involves the tiny structures of the eyeball and surrounding tissues, so doctors need to have excellent eye hand coordination and spatial perception. During the operation, the doctor should pay attention to keeping the eye tissue moist to avoid dryness and damage. After the operation, the doctor also needs to conduct tissue suture and hemostasis to ensure good recovery of the incision.
Postoperative care
Postoperative nursing is an essential link after ophthalmic surgery. First of all, the patient needs to closely observe the recovery of the eye after surgery, such as whether there are abnormal symptoms such as pain, redness, swelling and vision loss. Doctors and nurses need to know the patient's condition in a timely manner, and carry out detailed eye examinations and related tests to eliminate complications and deal with them in a timely manner. At the same time, doctors also need to give patients necessary medication and nursing guidance to promote wound healing and postoperative recovery.
Postoperative nursing also includes psychological counseling and rehabilitation guidance for patients. Faced with the discomfort and recovery process of eye surgery, patients may have psychological problems such as anxiety, fear and depression. Doctors and nurses need to help patients relieve psychological pressure and improve treatment compliance through communication and care with patients.
Operating environment
The operating environment is one of the important measures to ensure the safety of ophthalmic surgery. Ophthalmic operating rooms should be clean, tidy and sterile to reduce the risk of surgical infection. The operating room should be equipped with sterilization equipment and strict sterilization procedures to ensure the sterility of surgical instruments. At the same time, the operating room should also carry out quality inspection and equipment maintenance regularly to ensure the stability and safety of the operating environment.
In addition, the operating room should have a strict access control and personnel management system to ensure that the operation process is free from external interference and unauthorized personnel. There should be emergency rescue equipment and drugs in the operating room to deal with emergencies. The operating room staff shall receive professional training and regular assessment to improve their working ability and emergency handling ability.
Summary
Ophthalmic surgery requires attention from many aspects, such as preoperative preparation, surgical operation, postoperative care and surgical environment. Preoperative preparation includes patient's medical history understanding and preoperative examination, as well as patient education and informed consent. The operation requires doctors to have professional skills and strict operating procedures, and focus on disinfection and instrument selection. Postoperative nursing includes condition observation and treatment guidance, as well as psychological counseling and rehabilitation guidance. The operating environment needs to be kept sterile and safe, and the equipment maintenance and personnel management are strict. The above precautions can effectively ensure the safety of ophthalmic surgery and the rehabilitation of patients.
