Alabama Lithotripsy Services is a consortium of Baptist Medical Centers in Birmingham, Montclair, and Princeton, Druid City Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, and Huntsville Hospital in Huntsville, AL. This consortium is the first of two mobile lithotripsy services currently involved in the Food and Drug Administration investigational study using the Medstone (Medstone International, Inc, Irvine, CA) STS Lithotripter in the treatment of biliary gallstones. This procedure is a safe and effective alternative to abdominal surgery. Postanesthesia nurses need to know the population and criteria for selecting patients, how the lithotripter operates, postanesthesia care, possible complications, advantages, and disadvantages, as well as the future consideration of biliary lithotripsy using the Medstone STS Biliary Lithotripter.
阿拉巴马碎石服务机构是由位于伯明翰、蒙特克莱和普林斯顿的浸信会医疗中心、位于塔斯卡卢萨的德鲁伊城地区医疗中心以及位于阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔的亨茨维尔医院组成的一个联合体。该联合体是目前参与美国食品药品监督管理局一项研究性试验的两家移动碎石服务机构之一，该试验使用Medstone（加利福尼亚州欧文市的Medstone国际公司）的STS碎石机治疗胆石症。此手术是腹部手术的一种安全有效的替代方案。麻醉后护理人员需要了解患者的人群及选择标准、碎石机的操作方式、麻醉后护理、可能出现的并发症、优缺点，以及使用Medstone STS胆道碎石机进行胆道碎石术未来的考量因素。
