As people get older, their bodies will age to varying degrees.
The function of tissues and organs in the body will also decline, which makes many diseases have an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Uncle Zhang is over 90 years old and his body is in a relatively weak state.
One day at home, I suddenly felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing.
The child hurriedly sent him to the hospital, and the doctor passed Uncle Zhang's examination and immediately sent him to the ICU ward.
When the family learned that Uncle Zhang had entered the ICU ward, they were very worried and afraid.
Uncle Zhang's daughter said that usually entering the ICU must be more auspicious, and most of them are bad news.
Uncle Zhang's daughter asked the doctor over and over again, begging the doctor to do his best to treat him.
The doctor said that it is not that entering the ICU is more than lucky, and there is usually a high probability that you will be safe when you enter the ward.
So is it really "more bad luck" to enter the ICU ward? What we don't know about the ICU ward, let's find out today.
1. Do you really know about the ICU ward?
1. What is an ICU ward?
When it comes to ICU wards, I believe many friends are no strangers.
In life, many large general hospitals will have ICU wards.
The ICU ward, also known as the intensive care unit, is mainly used for more critical patients, or for patients who have been severely injured or have undergone major surgery.
It is equipped with the highest equipment and a professional team of doctors to carry out ****, care and follow-up work for patients.
Usually patients admitted to the ICU are of the more severe type.
If it is difficult to understand the patient's situation in time in the general ward, and at the same time, the work cannot be comprehensively promoted.
In the ICU ward, there is also a professional isolation mode and 24-hour care, which is extremely beneficial for the patient's condition**.
2. Why is the ICU room charge so high?
Many patients and their families who have been admitted to an ICU will know that ICU charges are extremely high.
This is mainly related to the medical service equipment in the ICU, the number of drugs used, and the cost of care for medical staff.
In order to keep abreast of the patient's physical condition in the ICU, we will continue to perform relevant tests in order to keep abreast of the patient's physical health.
The hospital's vital signs testing equipment is extremely high-end, and each operation will cost a high cost.
In addition, the requirements for the environment in the ICU are extremely high.
Not only does it need to be sterile, but it also has strong requirements for temperature and humidity.
Therefore, in order to provide the best environment for patients, it will cost a higher cost.
Finally, for the intensive care unit, it is equipped with professional doctors and **. And it needs to be accompanied and cared for 24 hours a day, which requires a high cost of labor services.
Therefore, on the whole, there will be a huge gap between the charges of ICU wards and those of ordinary wards.
2. Is it bad luck if you enter the ICU?
In the eyes of the people, the ICU ward is often referred to as the ghost gate.
It means that after entering the ICU, most of them are more auspicious and less lucky, and the probability of survival may be extremely low.
But in fact, this is not the case, on the contrary, there is a high probability that you can get the news of survival.
Many friends think that the reason for the lack of luck is that the ICU ward often admits seriously ill patients.
The word severe disease will be considered to be the most difficult, so the patient will often be prepared for the worst after entering the ICU.
However, in fact, ICU wards also have strict requirements when admitting patients, and there are usually four admissions and three non-admissions.
The four admissions mentioned here are mainly for the treatment of patients with serious diseases, such as patients with high-risk diseases such as heart and brain, and the second category is patients who have undergone major surgery and need careful care and monitoring. The third category is patients who have suffered a great accident, are in critical condition, and have unstable vital signs, and finally for patients who need comprehensive **.
The three non-acceptances are mostly aimed at the situation that the patient's family gives up ** or the patient himself has lost his life weight and has no possibility of treatment.
In addition, patients with infectious diseases or related diseases** that are difficult for hospitals to provide will not be admitted to the ICU.
It can be seen that most of the ICU wards are for patients who may survive, and with the care of internal professional equipment and medical team, the possibility of patients surviving is extremely high.
Therefore, in life, when patients enter the ICU ward, it is more important to maintain a stable mentality and actively cooperate with the doctor to face the condition optimistically.
3. Precautions for taking care of patients.
Extreme care and prudence should be exercised in caring for patients, who are more frail than healthy people.
There will be more precautions related to life, so careful and thoughtful care is needed to help them recover as soon as possible.
First of all, the diet must be light and easy to digest.
Many family members of patients consume more meat for them in order to replenish their nutrients in a timely manner.
It is believed that meat is more nutritious than vegetarian food and can better restore the body.
However, it is not known that the gastrointestinal and digestive functions of patients are relatively weak during the course of the disease.
If you consume too much fat and sweet flavor at this time, it is very likely that fat accumulation, indigestion and other conditions may occur, and in severe cases, it will aggravate the condition.
Therefore, in the process of taking care of the patient, it is necessary to eat lightly. Eat easy-to-digest foods such as rice porridge, pasta, etc.
At the same time, we should also achieve a rich and balanced diet of dietary fiber, eat more vegetables, fruits, etc., to help them better supplement trace elements.
Secondly, it should also do a good job of the patient's daily life**.
Many patients often need to take medications or injections during their illness. At this time, as a family member of the patient, you should help the patient to implement the relevant work.
Remind them to press on time and take their medication according to the doctor's instructions.
Pay attention to the time arrangement during the process of taking the medicine, and avoid taking the medicine immediately on an empty stomach or after meals, so as not to affect the efficacy of the medicine.
In addition, it is important to pay attention to the mental health of patients in the process of caring for patients.
Avoid patients from being depressed, scared and other negative emotions for a long time.
Help them do a good job of soothing work and face the work with a positive and optimistic attitude, which is more conducive to the recovery of the patient's health.
Finally, in the process of taking care of patients, it is necessary to do a good job of cleaning to prevent bacteria and viruses from entering the body to induce other diseases and inflammatory problems.
Fourth, the body should pay attention to these warning signs.
In life, many friends want to effectively improve their own immunity and avoid related major diseases.
The doctor said that this also requires more attention to observe your own physical condition.
Because the body has a strong repair and warning function, when there is a disease problem, it will send out warning signals.
At this time, it is necessary to be vigilant, do a good job of prevention and prevention, and avoid the development and deterioration of the disease and endanger life and health.
1. Abnormal bleeding.
Many patients often experience irregular bleeding later in the course of the disease.
For example, hematemesis, coughing, or blood in the sputum is most likely related to a lesion in the airway or stomach.
If there is a high risk of cancer in the long term, it is possible.
In addition, for women, irregular and abnormal bleeding in ** and other parts also need to be further examined.
Find out the source of the problem, and do a good job in a timely manner.
2. Inexplicable fever.
When you have a cold, many of you have a fever.
This is due to inflammation in the body, which is caused by the immune system sterilizing and disinfecting.
In daily life, if there is a fever and a high fever that does not go away, it may be an early manifestation of cancer.
This is because when the disease progresses further, the cancer cells will spread to all parts of the body, and at this time, it will induce abnormal fever in the tissues and organs of the body.
In addition, the possibility of high fever is related to the occurrence of large inflammation in the body.
Therefore, if there is an inexplicable fever in the body, you need to be vigilant.
3. Body aches.
Elderly people often experience joint pain or soreness in other parts of the body as they get older.
Unlike the pain caused by everyday exhaustion, the pain caused by illness is more intense and lasts longer.
Usually, if it is pain in the shoulder, it needs to be related to tissues and organs such as the heart and chest.
In the case of joints and other parts, further examination is required for bone abnormalities, or the development and deterioration of diseases such as cancer.
4. Fatigue and exhaustion.
Some friends sometimes have insufficient sleep and rest time due to high work pressure in their lives.
There will be fatigue and exhaustion, and after a certain amount of rest, the body will be restored.
However, if there is a long period of physical weakness, lack of concentration, inability to lift spirits, etc., it is necessary to be vigilant.
This is most likely caused by a physical disease, because when there is inflammation in the body, the diseased cells attack the normal tissues and organs of the body, and at this time, they also absorb the body's existing nutrients.
When the body is under-nourished for a long time, the body will be weak and tired.
Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for targeted examinations to find out the root cause of the specific problem, so as to avoid further development and deterioration of the condition, resulting in irreversible consequences.
5. Poor taste.
Poor taste is an early symptom of stomach or digestive tract disorders.
Patients are mainly reluctant to eat, abdominal distention, abdominal pain, nausea, etc.
On the one hand, due to the lesions of relevant tissues and organs, the metabolism may be slow, so that food accumulates in the body for a long time, and anorexia occurs.
On the other hand, it is also possible that the patient has difficulty eating and painful swallowing during the eating process, causing him to be reluctant to eat.
And a long time of poor taste and too little diet will further aggravate the physical condition.
It causes malnutrition and induces other diseases such as low immunity.
Epilogue. Through the above explanation, we can further understand the role of the ICU ward in the hospital and the relevant precautions for taking care of patients.
In life, the ICU ward is not the so-called ghost door.
It is one of the most targeted normal wards, and we should maintain a calm and steady mind when facing patients entering the ICU ward.
Do not be anxious and nervous and cause a bad emotional atmosphere and affect the patient himself.
More importantly, patients should be taken care of carefully and patiently, helping them to do follow-up work and recover their health in time.
