The last department where I practiced is the Intensive Care Unit, or ICU. It is a special place for centralized monitoring and intensive treatment of various critical and severe diseases, and is equipped with a variety of advanced and sophisticated monitoring and treatment equipment. .
Most of the patients in the ICU are in a coma or drowsy state. Medical | Education Network collects and sorts out a lot of tubes on their body, including urinary catheters, sputum suction tubes, nasogastric tubes, and arterial catheters. It can be said that All kinds of medical tubes are available. Although the nasogastric feeding solution is rich in nutrients, you can’t taste anything when it is injected through the nasogastric tube. In addition, there is a lot of sputum, and regular sputum suctioning is not comfortable...
I feel that living in the ICU, consciousness It's an unfortunate thing. I can't bear to see them lying in bed, in great pain, and worse than death. Although 14-15 o'clock every day is the time for family members to visit the doctor, which is also the most heartwarming moment, such care cannot offset the physical torture. If it were me, I would rather choose death. Living without quality of life would be better than going to the Paradise of Elysium happily.
Almost all patients living in ICU use ventilators to assist breathing, so to be an excellent ICU nurse, you must be proficient in the use of ventilators. In the past two months of internship, I have carefully studied ventilator-related matters. Although I have only learned the tip of the iceberg, I am extremely happy. There is no end to learning, which is better than nothing.
Under the guidance of the teacher, I regularly feed patients, turn them over, suction sputum as needed, handle urine and feces, etc., and actively complete various treatments without fear of getting dirty or tired. I also actively participated in small lectures in the department to continuously enhance my theoretical knowledge. In this ward where critical and critical care is concentrated, I deeply feel the importance of carefulness, patience, love, and compassion. I am grateful to the ICU for allowing me to further strengthen myself.
