Chapter 3498         【3498】 Interested

Doctor Liu probably hasn't heard of this new term, and his face was a little confused.

Some doctors around may have heard of it, but most of them must have never heard of it. Following Dr. Liu, he was stunned.

In the process of integrating domestic technology with foreign technology, there is a first need to introduce people. This introducer may be someone in a certain domestic industry who thinks it is easy to use and promote and apply it to his peers, or it may be that foreign professionals enter the country and directly recommend it to their peers in the domestic circle.

Opportunities are various academic exchange meetings. But as we all know, academic exchange meeting topics have always been the first choice to focus on hot topics in the circle. When a technology is not mature, it is not appropriate to use it for academic exchange. No one knows whether it is possible or not. If it is introduced to peers, it is a medical accident and no one can afford this serious adverse consequence.

These situations all show that the promotion of a new technology is not easy.

What's more, new technologies are emerging all over the world. New technologies in China may not be promoted in a few years, resulting in many peers in the circle being completely unaware of them.

PICCO originated a few years ago, with a short development history and few clinical applications. There are few research manuscripts discussed on this, and it is not a hot topic in the circle to pay attention to it. The importance of truly paying attention to it is a few years later.

This situation is consistent with the development track of the treatment and development of critically ill patients in China. In the same way, most hospitals currently do not pay attention to the money of ICU. It is like the National Association for the introduction of a machine to discuss it for several years without results. What is the use of introducing this technology? It is useless and cannot be used, and it is idle when it is introduced.

You should know that even old technology like CVP has become idle technology in many hospitals. Doctors know that this technology is good, but they also know that most citizens cannot afford the medical expenses of critically ill patients. As long as they have a longer treatment, their families will simply give up on the patient. In this case, using CVP for one or two days will only add to the loss of money.

The treatment of critically ill patients requires a protracted war, and medicine cannot make such patients come back to life within one or two days.

Back to the original topic, what is the price of ICU? It is not just the cost of treatment.

The monitoring and examination for the treatment of critically ill patients is very important. Because critically ill patients are extremely fragile, the doctor treats them like walking on thin ice. If you cannot do examinations and tests at all times to understand the patient's real-time situation, the previous treatment method may be counterproductive.

These test and examination costs can be said to be equal to the treatment costs. For example, after taking ECMO, the daily blood test costs must be calculated in thousands of digits.

If it weren't for the support of a big funder, few families in China could afford such expensive inspection fees.

As a new technology, PICCO is definitely much more expensive to use than CVP.

Dr. Liu and other doctors present are very interested in understanding what this new technology is. After all, Student Xie said it has many advantages and has made breakthrough progress compared to traditional CVP technology.
