Koala fixation is helpful to suture children's wounds.
Recently, emergency room doctors found that the koala fixation method, which was used to appease children with injections in the past, greatly improved the stability of suture process and the psychology of children. However, according to foreign statistics, although more than 80% parents are willing to accompany their babies on the operating table during invasive treatment, the willingness of medical staff to allow parents to accompany them is not high. Take simple suture as an example, only 27.5% doctors are willing to accompany their parents. When Zhang Xiaodi, who is more than 2 years old, was playing at home, the back of his head accidentally hit the foot of the table and cut a wound of about 1cm. He was rushed to the emergency room. When the doctor gave him local anesthesia and prepared to sew up the wound, Zhang Xiaodi struggled and could not get on the operating table smoothly. At that time, mother Zhang picked up her little brother and lay on the operating table like him, letting his head lie on her chest. Without the suppression of medical staff, the doctor successfully defeated him. "Mom is the best tranquilizer for children! Guo Jianzhong, an emergency room physician at Taipei Kangning Hospital who admitted Zhang Xiaodi, said that in the past, children were always crying and struggling because of the pain in the wound and fear of surgery, which made it more difficult for medical staff to sew. At this time, in order to perform the suture task, medical staff have to use almost violent means to suppress the injured child, but this way makes the injured child experience an inhuman process of violent bondage, which may cause psychological shadow. Using the "koala fixation method", crying children hardly cry during anesthesia and surgery, because it is safe to be accompanied by their mothers. At this time, the child buried his head in his mother's chest and held his mother tightly. If the father gently puts his hand on the child's back to distract the child from the pain, this process is more stable than that of many adults, and it is suitable for children with head and back injuries. Guo Jianzhong mentioned that another "Sleeping Beauty Fixation Method" is suitable for forehead suture. The mother lay on her side, holding the child with her left foot and left hand, and kissing the child on the cheek from time to time. At this time, the child fell asleep in his mother's arms and successfully completed the suture. The above two methods are suitable for children from 6 months to 4 years old. Guo Jian appealed that in many hospitals, due to the intensive consultation time, when performing suture surgery, injured children are often taken to the operating table immediately and started anesthesia without psychological preparation. If time permits, it is suggested that the medical staff give the children and their families 20-30 minutes of environmental adaptation before anesthesia, so that the mother can accompany the children from anesthesia to the end of the operation on the operating table, so that the baby can get the most humanized treatment.
