What are the responsibilities of the chief surgeon, an assistant and two assistants in major surgery?
Responsibilities are as follows:

The surgeon in charge should be an expert director and deputy director, leading the way, process, result and teaching task of the whole operation.

The helper may be an attending doctor or a resident, whose main function is to cooperate. Where the surgeon wants to cut, an excellent helper should expose, pull and fix the target steadily and comfortably, so that the surgeon can cut wherever he wants, and the electrosurgical scalpel can go wherever he wants.

It's a bit like a duet, which goes hand in hand, learning skills in following, and teamwork in difficult surgery. A good surgeon needs a good assistant to complete a high-quality operation.

The second assistant is usually a junior resident, trainee or intern, and also plays a role similar to the first assistant, but the position is a bit embarrassing, and most of the time he is bored with the hook, and sometimes he is often exhausted because of long operation time.

What kind of medical staff do you need for surgery?

First, introduce the anesthesiologist. This occupation, which is not familiar to most people, actually plays an important role in the whole medical system. The surgeon pays attention to the operation itself, while the anesthesiologist pays attention to the change of the patient's vital signs, that is, the change of life. The duty of the anesthesiologist is to ensure that the patient can complete the operation with the surgeon under the premise of painless and safety.

Anesthesiologist is the "life protector" of surgical patients during anesthesia.

Then introduce the surgeon. The surgeon is the doctor who mainly performs the operation, that is, the main person in charge of the implementation of the surgical technique. Generally, after making good preoperative preparation, he instructs his assistant to complete some operations, and the most important, complicated and critical operations are performed by the surgeon.

Next is surgical assistance. An assistant also needs to have solid basic skills and be able to independently perform some minor operations such as appendectomy and hernia repair. At the same time, some operations must be exposed to the surgeon because of the angle of operation. Larger surgery can have a second assistant and a third assistant, who can cooperate with the surgeon to complete the operation.

Then introduce the hand washing nurse. Hand washing nurse, also known as instrument nurse, is a kind of surgical specialist nurse. Simply put, it is to go to the operating table and be responsible for delivering instruments to the surgeon. As an excellent instrument nurse, you should be familiar with every operation process, even the operation habits of every surgeon, and also have a sense of responsibility, observation ability, communication ability and affinity.

Can timely and accurately cooperate with doctors to deal with sudden emergencies. In short, hand washing nurses are mainly responsible for preoperative preparation, intraoperative cooperation and postoperative finishing. The hand-washing nurse can't step down until the operation is finished. Generally speaking, their diet is irregular and prone to stomach problems.

Visiting nurses just don't go to the operating table, prepare some temporary instruments or deal with some emergencies next to the operating table, and do a good job of checking with anesthesiologists and surgeons. Generally speaking, visiting nurses are not allowed to leave the operating room without authorization. They need to pay attention to the cleanliness of the room at all times, properly adjust the lighting and room temperature, and wipe the sweat for the doctor.

Adhere to aseptic operation, be the "guardian" and "teacher" of aseptic technology, and urge interns and nurses in particular to participate in aseptic operation and correct it in time.

An operation basically needs medical staff in the above positions, and everyone Qi Xin will work together to ensure the smooth operation.
