"Chinese Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Venous Diseases in the Elderly" Conference: Leading the standardized diagnosis and treatment of chronic venous diseases in the elderly
It is especially worth mentioning that with the accelerated development of China's aging society, the diagnosis and treatment of chronic venous diseases in the elderly has become an urgent task. To this end, Professor Zhao Jichun and Professor Zhao Yu, as chief editors, jointly wrote the paper with 7 experts from the Peripheral Vascular Disease Management Branch of the Chinese Geriatric Society, and finally reached the "Chinese Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Venous Diseases in the Elderly" after all members of the branch participated in the discussion. These experts come from top hospitals across the country, covering multiple fields of clinical and scientific research, ensuring the authority and practicality of the consensus. The compilation of the consensus brought together the wisdom and experience of many authoritative experts across the country, and after several rounds of discussion and revision, formed a diagnosis and treatment guideline in line with China's national conditions.
The release of the "Consensus" is not only a systematic summary of the prevention and treatment of chronic venous diseases, but also marks the acceleration of China's standardization process in this field. Among the expert teams participating in the compilation of consensus, there are not only senior doctors from front-line clinical practices, but also scholars committed to scientific research for a long time, and their joint efforts have added more practical value to this consensus. We hope that through the release of this consensus, the diagnosis and treatment standards of chronic venous diseases in the elderly can be further promoted nationwide. This conference is not only an academic event, but also the actual promotion of senile vascular disease diagnosis and treatment concepts and technologies, which will bring good news to countless elderly patients and significantly improve their quality of life.
Nursing session: The integration of medical cooperation creates a new chapter of nursing
During the "9th China Vascular Congress & 7th Senile Vascular Disease Congress & 3rd West China Vascular Frontier Academic Conference & 2024 International Vascular Alliance China Branch Nursing Professional Committee Peripheral Vascular Group Academic Conference", the nursing sub-conference was held as scheduled. The two-day nursing conference gathered experts and scholars from all over the world, focusing on the latest progress and development direction in the field of vascular nursing, and emphasizing the importance of medical collaboration. With "Integration of medical care" as the core topic, this sub-conference will deeply discuss how the medical and nursing sides can work together in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation process of vascular diseases, and jointly contribute wisdom and strength to improve the treatment effect and accelerate the rehabilitation process. This is not only a grand event for academic exchange, but also a celebration and inheritance of the spirit of medical cooperation.
At the opening ceremony of the Nursing forum, Xu Jing, head nurse of vascular surgery, Sichuan West China Hospital, presided over the opening ceremony, and Professor Zhao Jichun said in his speech, "First of all, I would like to highly evaluate the contribution of the nursing team in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases. Most patients with vascular disease are elderly, and nursing work plays an irreplaceable role in pain assessment, sleep management and anxiety relief." Professor Zhao especially mentioned that the integration of medical care is not only reflected in patient management, but also in clinical work, the nursing team through supervision and support, to correct many potential medical hazards, to ensure the quality of medical care, Sichuan University West China Hospital nursing team's excellent performance and global recognition, but also the result of the depth of medical cooperation. Professor Zhao also shared his team's experience at the International Venous Union Congress, highlighting the remarkable effectiveness of healthcare collaboration in improving the quality of healthcare and ensuring patient safety. The deep integration of medical care not only improves the treatment effect of patients, but also provides a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the field of vascular care.
At the same time, Professor Shu Chang and Head Nurse Jiang Yan delivered speeches respectively, expressing their high recognition of nursing work and high expectations for the prospects of medical cooperation. The academic agenda of the Nursing branch covers a rich content, mainly divided into "Vascular Academy: teaching, management and scientific research exploration", "Vascular navigation: Panoramic treatment and care of venous diseases", "Wound rescue: Treatment and care of vascular wounds", "Cross-border dialogue: Multidisciplinary team collaboration" and other sections. These topics deeply explore the difficulties and cutting-edge issues in the care of vascular diseases, aiming to improve the treatment effect and quality of life of patients through innovative nursing technology and management means. Through this brainstorming event, the nursing team, together with the medical team, injected new vitality into the development of the field of vascular care.
The successful holding of this nursing conference has built a platform for efficient communication among nursing colleagues across the country, and also pointed out the direction for the development of vascular surgery nursing. Through the in-depth discussion and technology sharing of medical cooperation, the nursing technology of vascular surgery has been further improved, and the continuous progress of nursing has been promoted. With the rapid development of the nursing industry, the important role of nursing staff in patients with vascular diseases will be further highlighted, and they will continue to provide better nursing services for patients in the future, and jointly contribute to the treatment and rehabilitation of vascular diseases.
With the increasing aging trend, the standardization construction of geriatric hospitals is particularly urgent. At this meeting, Zhao Jichun, president of the Peripheral Vascular Disease Management Branch of the Chinese Geriatric Society, made a comprehensive report on the work of the past year, and said that he would actively respond to the requirements of the superior General Association. All members of the sub-committee will work together to formulate management standards for vascular disease management, take the work in the field of geriatrics as their own responsibility, help improve the prevention and treatment of geriatric diseases, and promote the improvement of the health and quality of life of the elderly. Finally, strive to form a national standard and industry standard for the management of senile vascular diseases in China. It is believed that through the cooperation and joint efforts of vascular surgery colleagues, we will strive to form a set of scientific, reasonable and effective management standards for elderly vascular diseases in the near future, and contribute to improving the health level of the elderly in China.
At the closing ceremony of the conference, Professor Wang Tao said, "The management of vascular diseases in the elderly is not only a medical issue, but also a social issue, involving the development of families, communities and even countries. Therefore, promoting the prevention and management of vascular diseases is an important task in building a healthy China." President Zhao called on everyone to work together, not only to pay attention to the transmission of theoretical knowledge, but also to emphasize the sharing of practical experience, so that more medical staff in grass-roots hospitals can apply the knowledge in practical work.
The successful holding of this conference not only provides a platform for the majority of medical workers to learn and exchange, but also an important milestone to promote the further development of the field of geriatrics. Only through more extensive cooperation and advocacy can we enhance the importance of elderly vascular diseases in the whole society, so as to achieve comprehensive and systematic management of elderly patients. This is the only way to build a healthy China, and it is also the common mission of every medical worker. We hope that in the future, we will continue to work together to create a better living environment and medical conditions for our elderly people.
