Pay tribute to the ＂lead-clothed man＂ in the doctor’s hospital： taking pains in weight-bearing surgery

　　CCTV News:Among medical workers, there is such a special and important group, that is, interventional doctors called "lead-clad people". In the interventional department, almost all operations should be completed under the guidance of X-rays. In order to prevent the damage caused by radiation, they have to wear a set of lead protective clothing weighing more than 20 kilograms during the whole operation. Today we will follow the reporter’s camera and approach this group together.

　　Wu Anle, Director of Interventional Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Ningbo First Hospital, Zhejiang Province:This lead coat weighs about 20 Jin, which used to be heavier. Now it is made of better material and much lighter. This is a lead apron and this is a lead coat. Do a good job of protection.

　　After wearing lead clothes and cleaning hands, Wu Anle walked into the operating room at two o’clock in the afternoon. A patient with liver cancer needs interventional therapy.

　　Wu Anle told reporters that he had about 40 surgeries every month, and his hands and arms were exposed to high-intensity X-rays for a long time, so he left many scars.

　　Wu Anle, Director of Interventional Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Ningbo First Hospital:We sometimes put liver drainage on patients, and our hands are under radiation, and our own hands can see them, just like mine. If you wear lead gloves, your hand sensitivity will be affected.

　　In the operating room of interventional radiology department in xuanwu hospital, Capital Medical University, Jiao Liqun, director of radiology department, and his assistants are performing carotid stenting for patients. During the operation, Jiao Liqun needs to go in and out of the operating room several times for internal and external linkage and observation to ensure the best effect of interventional therapy. At the moment, the outdoor temperature is close to 40 degrees. Although there is enough air conditioning in the operating room, the surgical gown under the lead suit is already soaked.

　　Jiao Liqun, Director of Interventional Radiology Department of xuanwu hospital, Capital Medical University:It’s really tiring to carry a lead suit weighing dozens of pounds for several hours, and now with the development of interventional technology and materials, more and more diseases begin to tend to be interventional surgery, and the proportion of operations has decreased, so the workload of interventional doctors is greater and the intensity is greater.
