Why is surgery so expensive, and why is it so expensive for some surgeries?

It takes a lot of manpower, a lot of equipment, and paralyzing needles. The most important thing is that the doctors who perform the surgery are all high-level doctors, and the tension of the doctor is a high-altitude work to perform an operation, and some surgeries can be used for several hours, or even more. So of course, the cost of surgery is high.

The cost of surgery is not expensive, but the cost of medicine and nursing care. For example, if you use antibiotics after surgery, the ordinary one is 100 200, and if you use 4 or 5 antibiotics a day, you will need a lot of money for a week. And if the condition is serious, the ICU ward will be 2000 3000 a day

Yes, the operating room costs money, the doctor asks for money, and the equipment you need for surgery costs money! Of course, it is not said that it is hundreds of thousands of operations for one operation, it should be the total sum of zero! Generally, if you have surgery in the hospital for a day, the water will be at least one or two thousand, some drugs are very expensive, so it is not more, one injection is hundreds, two injections a day will give you, and you will live in the hospital for a week!

The cost of anesthetic medicine and preoperative examination add up to five or six thousand! Like the ordinary Johnson & Johnson hemostasis step during the operation, minor surgery sometimes costs three or four hundred, and major surgery is even more incredible! Oxygen also costs money, and a process in the general surgical process is at least nearly a thousand!

You will also have to pay for all the equipment you use during the surgery! In fact, during the operation, many equipment and things are disposable, and these things are very expensive, and the family members have to bear them! You're doing the math!

The main thing is that the doctor is of high rank and time is expensive. There are many assistants in the hospital.

It depends on the difficulty of heart surgery, the recovery situation, etc.

Recently, I often see netizens say that the most expensive and difficult operation is pediatric heart surgery, and it is extremely difficult to operate on a newborn's walnut-sized heart and hair-thin coronary arteries. Is this really the case?

In fact, this statement is not comprehensive to a large extent.

Congenital heart disease is a congenital malformation caused by the imperfect development of the heart and large blood vessels during the fetal period. In layman's terms, it means that when the mother is pregnant, the child's heart blood vessels are not completely well or grow wrongly, and the heart disease collapses early at birth.

Congenital heart disease includes pulmonary artery stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, tetralogy of Fallot, and large vessel dislocation. However, there are different levels of difficulty in the surgery, and there are also slightly more difficult or very difficult surgeries.

For example, common congenital heart disease in children: atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus are relatively easy surgeries.

In conclusion, pediatric cardiac surgery is indeed the largest and most difficult operation compared to most surgeries.

In terms of price, such as the more common ventricular defects, atrial defects, patent ductus arteriosus closures, etc., which we mentioned above, it is not expensive.

Now our country's policy has been relatively perfect, most of the expenses can be reimbursed by medical treatment, and many hospitals have relevant ** support, families with family difficulties can apply, and their own expenses are actually not much, so don't worry too much about this cost.

It should be noted that after the **, parents still need to take care of it, which is more conducive to the baby's **.

Because many major surgeries require the use of some disposable consumable materials, and for the success rate of the operation, these materials are generally imported, so the cost is high.

Although they are also surgery, the difficulty of the operation and the cost of the operation are different, so their pricing is also different, which is nothing to worry about.

Because the cost of developing drugs is relatively high, and the drugs used are relatively expensive, the cost of surgery is relatively high.

Because these expensive surgeries are aware of the complexity and high risk of operation, it takes a long time to operate, and it requires a lot of attention from the doctor.
