Our country's law stipulates that hospitals are responsible for breast augmentation hematoma
In China, breast augmentation surgery is a kind of cosmetic plastic surgery. As a medical service provider, hospitals bear certain legal responsibility for complications after breast augmentation surgery, such as hematoma.
First of all, according to the Medical Accident Liability Law of China, hospitals, as institutions providing medical services, should assume the responsibility of ensuring the health and safety of patients. Hematoma, as one of the most common complications of breast augmentation surgery, may bring serious complications to patients, such as infection, necrosis, etc. During the operation, the hospital should strictly abide by the relevant medical operation specifications and try to avoid the occurrence of hematoma.
Secondly, the hospital should also be responsible for the treatment of postoperative hematoma. Once a patient has a hematoma after surgery, the hospital should find it in time and take appropriate treatment measures to properly handle the hematoma, so as to reduce the pain and complications of the patient. The hospital should treat the hematoma in accordance with the medical operation specifications, and give correct medical guidance according to the specific situation of the patient.
In addition, the hospital should fully inform the patients of the possibility and related risks of postoperative hematoma before surgery, and achieve informed consent. The hospital should explain the possible causes and incidence of postoperative hematoma to patients in detail, and tell patients how to properly care for postoperative wounds to reduce the possibility of hematoma. If the hospital fails to fully inform the patient of relevant information, resulting in postoperative hematoma, the hospital should bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
Relationship between hospital responsibility and patients' own factors
However, the responsibility of the hospital for the augmentation hematoma is not absolute, and the influence of the patient's own factors on the postoperative complications should also be considered.
First of all, individual differences of patients will have a certain impact on the occurrence of hematoma. Different people have different physiques and physical conditions, and their ability to recover after surgery will be different. Some people may be prone to hematoma after surgery, while others are not. Therefore, hospitals cannot take full responsibility for individual differences.
Secondly, patient care is also an important factor affecting the occurrence of hematoma. After surgery, patients should properly nurse the wound according to the requirements of the hospital to avoid violent activities and external stimulation, so as to reduce the occurrence of hematoma. If the patient fails to follow the hospital's nursing guidance correctly, resulting in postoperative hematoma, the hospital's responsibility will be reduced accordingly.
In addition, patients should conduct a comprehensive self-assessment before surgery and fully inform doctors of their own health and medical history. If the patient fails to truthfully inform himself before the operation, resulting in postoperative hematoma, the hospital can be exempted from responsibility.
Definition of doctor-patient communication and responsibility
The communication between doctors and patients is the basis of medical services, and is also the key to define the responsibility of breast augmentation hematoma.
First of all, the hospital should conduct a comprehensive preoperative communication with patients, understand their expectations and needs, and fully inform them of the surgical risks. The doctor should explain the surgical risks and postoperative complications to the patient, and provide the patient with real surgical effects and risks so that the patient can make a wise decision.
Secondly, doctors should follow up in a timely manner after surgery to understand the recovery of patients and evaluate and deal with postoperative complications. Patients should also actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and nursing guidance, and timely feedback the complications to the doctor. The communication and interaction between doctors and patients will help both parties better understand and cooperate, and reduce unnecessary disputes.
Finally, if patients believe that the hospital has responsibilities, they can seek their own rights through litigation. The patient can sue the hospital and ask the hospital to bear the corresponding compensation liability. The court judges whether the hospital should bear the responsibility according to the actual situation, including the hospital's fault and the patient's own factors.
Summary
To sum up, the hospital is responsible for breast augmentation hematoma, but the patient's own factors should also be considered. The hospital should fully inform the patients before the operation, deal with the complications in time after the operation, and communicate well with the patients. Patients themselves should carry out correct nursing according to the hospital's nursing guidance, fully cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and also truthfully inform themselves. In practice, the cooperation and communication between doctors and patients is very important to reduce complications and properly handle disputes.
