On July 28, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital led 30 teenagers into the Department of Cardiology with an open day activity, allowing the teenagers to experience the mystery of cardiology through immersive participation.
"The heart is a stage process in the beating cycle, and the electrocardiograph will draw a pattern of potential changes based on the changes in bioelectricity in the process." In the ECG experience, the doctor attached electrodes to the volunteers lying on the examination bed to remind them to breathe and be quiet. The children rushed to experience the operation of the instrument, and after a while, a line chart appeared on the instrument screen. A basic ECG process is complete, and the doctor can use the test results to make a basic diagnosis of heart disease.
Cardiac catheterization laboratory is an operating room for cardiac interventional treatment, equipped with first-class cardiac interventional equipment such as angiography system, intravascular ultrasound system, and rotary atherectomy interventional therapy instrument. Under the guidance of doctors, the teenagers experienced a hand of manipulation guidewires for cardiac intervention. When they learned that the medical staff had to wear heavy lead suits every day to complete various difficult surgeries such as coronary artery lesions, congenital heart disease, and pacemaker implantation in front of the operating table, sometimes standing for hours, everyone was in awe.
In the explanation of the operation of the defibrillator, the doctor demonstrated with the help of a dummy model. Defibrillator is an instrument for rescuing patients with cardiac arrest or arrhythmia, and due to the use of strong pulse current, its own use must be operated in strict accordance with the specifications. Doctors judge the effectiveness of defibrillation by looking at the heart rhythm after each shock. "I saw the mysterious heart surgery today, which made me feel amazing, and I also felt that the doctors were very strict. I was interested in medicine and wanted to be a doctor when I grew up. "A teenager experienced it with a lot of emotion.
During the event, the teenagers also visited the cardiac rehabilitation room and experienced aerobic training power bikes and elastic band dumbbells; I visited the Magnetocardiogram Center and learned that the magnetocardiograph uses a high-sensitivity magnetic signal detector to record the changes in the cardiac cycle and can reflect more subtle cardiac changes. The Sixth Hospital of the city not only provides high-quality medical services, but also carries out meaningful life education and transmits positive medical energy through science popularization and education. Shen Chengxing, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, said: "I hope that through this series of activities, children can understand what cardiologists are doing now, and how far the cardiology department has progressed, so that they can understand some cutting-edge things, explore the mysteries of life, cultivate and stimulate their interest in medicine, and attach importance to life and health." ”
