What does it mean to be medically fatal?

The so-called lethality in medicine refers to a quality or characteristic that can lead to death. In the medical field, many drugs, chemicals and pathogens are fatal. For example, due to wound infection or other complications, some medical methods or surgical operations may also be fatal. For some patients who need high-risk treatment such as caesarean section and heart surgery, doctors must be very careful to minimize the fatal occurrence.

When facing a fatal situation in medicine, doctors need to take a series of countermeasures to reduce the risk of patients. For example, when prescribing drugs to patients, doctors need to know the patient's allergies and medical history, follow the correct medication methods, and minimize the adverse reactions caused by drugs. In addition, in high-risk treatment or surgery, doctors need to fully assess the health and condition of patients, and take preventive measures and standardized operations to reduce the risk of death.

How to improve the public's understanding of lethality in medicine?

In order to avoid unnecessary harm to patients due to lack of basic medical knowledge, we should vigorously promote medical safety education and raise public awareness of medical lethality. This includes training medical workers, strengthening standardized operation and case review, publishing safety reports and related data of medical products in time, emphasizing the importance of patients' self-protection, encouraging the public to pay more attention to their own health and actively participate in medical health education. Through these efforts, we can minimize the risk of death and ensure the safety of patients.
