Synopsis

This is the first light popular science book that uses evidence-based medicine to dispel misunderstandings about anesthesia from the perspective of clinical nursing. Directly addressing social hotspots and debunking widely circulated rumors about anesthesia. Focus on the anesthesia issues that the public is most concerned about (such as "General anesthesia makes people less intelligent", "Anesthetics affect memory", "children cannot receive anesthetics", "pain pumps can affect wound healing", etc.), avoid obscure terms, and explain medical knowledge in words that patients can understand, even with a touch of humor and teasing (such as "Anesthetics won't make you stupid, but staying up late to use your phone will"). Debunk the rumors one by one with scientific evidence. The topic selection is in line with the current needs of health science popularization, especially suitable for patients and their families who are anxious before surgery to read, to clear up knowledge blind spots and relieve preoperative tension.

这是第一本以循证医学为依据,从临床护理角度破除麻醉误解的轻科普读物。本书直击社会热点,辟谣流传甚广的麻醉谣言。聚焦大众最关心的麻醉问题(如“全身麻醉使人智力下降”、“麻醉药影响记忆力”、“儿童不能接受麻醉药”、“止痛泵会影响伤口愈合”等),避免使用晦涩难懂的术语,用患者能够理解的语言,甚至带有一丝幽默和调侃(如“麻醉药不会变傻,但熬夜玩手机会”)。用科学证据逐一驳斥谣言。选题切合当前健康科普的需求,尤其适合术前焦虑的患者及家属阅读,扫清知识盲区,缓解术前紧张情绪。
