Dongfang.com reporter Liu Yilin reported on September 8: Ultrasound is the use of ultrasound waves through the skin to meet the reflection of organs, through signal processing to see through the internal structure of the body, is to explore the mystery of the human body; The medical emergency center operates 24 hours a day to provide immediate on-site treatment and transport services for patients. In order to let teenagers understand the mystery of ultrasound and learn the relevant knowledge of first aid,
On September 8, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, the birthplace of ultrasound medicine, together with the Children's Hospital of Fudan University and the Shanghai Medical Emergency Center, held an immersive open day to carry out a scientific and technological exploration journey for middle school students and bring vivid safety education classes.
"Please relax your neck, don't swallow your saliva, we will gently place the probe on your neck." With the patient words of ultrasound doctor Chen Lei, the cold ultrasound couplant was evenly applied to the skin of the visitor's neck. In the outpatient ultrasound room, the first thing the teens experience is the thyroid ultrasound project. Ultrasonic couplant is a non-toxic, harmless gel that eliminates air between the probe and the skin so that ultrasound waves can travel smoothly. As the ultrasound probe moves slowly in the neck, the real-time image of the thyroid gland on the screen is clearly visible, and the doctor explains while operating, allowing visitors to witness how ultrasound penetrates the skin and probes the internal structure of the thyroid gland without damage, including the size, shape, whether there are nodules or cysts and other abnormalities. "Look, this is your thyroid gland and it looks very healthy at the moment." When he heard the doctor's evaluation, the experiencer Xiaohu's face showed a reassuring smile. Not only did I feel the magic and convenience of modern medical technology, but I also deeply understood the importance of regular thyroid check-ups.
Children's growth and development affect the hearts of every parent, and bone age is one of the important indicators to judge whether a child's development is healthy or not. At the open day, the Sixth Hospital and the Ultrasound Department of the Children's Hospital of Fudan University brought "Bone age measurement is afraid of 'eating up', ultrasound can also help!" "Activity." Can ultrasound also measure bone age? Mr. Chen, a parent at the scene, raised questions. According to the pediatrician, "Ultrasound has the advantages of shorter detection time, no radiation, and no invasiveness than conventional X-rays. "The doctor places the probe on the knee or wrist of the experiencer, which contains abundant ossification centers and is key to reflecting the development of the bones. The ultrasound waves are reflected back when they encounter the bones, which are received by the machine and converted into images that are displayed on the screen. Doctors evaluate your child's bone age based on their presence, size, shape, and relationship to each other to see if your child's growth and development are within the normal range. Each test takes only 5 minutes, and the high-efficiency and high-accuracy test method has been well received by the on-site participants.
Fluorescence microscope, all-digital color ultrasound diagnostic instrument, handheld ultrasound equipment...... During the visit to the Shanghai Institute of Ultrasound Medicine, the teenagers had the opportunity to get close to a variety of advanced instruments, among which the size of the instrument like a mobile phone attracted everyone's attention. According to reports, this is a handheld ultrasound instrument, although the size is small, but it integrates ultrasound imaging, automatic scanning measurement, composite imaging and other functions. The built-in wireless communication technology can also enhance the diagnosis of the journey, and the patient can be tested at home, and the ultrasound doctor can remotely analyze the image data to make judgments. In the laboratory, teenagers used handheld ultrasound equipment to conduct on-site inspections for parents, and the atmosphere was positive and enthusiastic.
The Emergency Medical Center, which is a place that provides daily pre-hospital medical emergency services to citizens, has been heard of but never set foot in, and it is open to all visitors on the day of the event. What does the inside of an ambulance look like? Li Tao, a teacher from the Medical Emergency Center, led the teenagers to visit the latest 5G ambulance. 5G technology is embodied in three aspects: providing real-time traffic information to select the optimal route, remote real-time video consultation with medical staff in the car, and real-time transmission of data from multiple monitors and instruments in the car to the hospital's smart platform. It is the advanced technology of the ambulance and the skilled and efficient rescue measures of the first responders that save precious lives in a race against time.
Walking into the command center, the huge display screen allows everyone to stop and watch, all kinds of tables and charts show the data of various areas of the city and the distribution of emergency vehicles in real time, and the dispatchers are nervously and orderly monitoring every screen, answering every distress call, quickly analyzing the condition, and assigning the nearest ambulance rescue. The high-tech communication system and data analysis technology are also inseparable from the strategic planning of the command staff, and the experiencers are impressed by the superb operation ability of the "central brain".
As a sacred place to learn and practice first aid skills, the training center has trained countless excellent first aid personnel. Under the guidance of the staff, the teenagers learned basic and critical skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hemostasis bandaging, and the Heimlich maneuver through a dummy model. Through the drills that simulated real scenarios, I realized the importance of staying calm, making quick judgments, and taking the right actions in an emergency.
Through this joint open day activity, the teenagers have sighed that they have benefited a lot and opened their eyes. Mr. Wang, a parent, shared, "The activity cultivated the children's desire to explore science and learned to respect and revere life, which is really a far-reaching safety education class. Zheng Yuanyi, Vice President of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, said: "I am very pleased to see the enthusiasm and curiosity of the children, which not only popularized medical knowledge, but also stimulated a sense of responsibility and mission for life protection. Our school will also give full play to the strength of advantageous disciplines and actively carry out similar activities, so as to create a healthy future with children, so that love and hope can go together. ”
