Chapter 217 Endovascular CPR
Chen Tianlin simply put something down in the hospital cafeteria and was about to return to the office. But at this moment, his pager suddenly rang.
Hearing the ringing of the pager, Chen Tianlin took out the pager from his pocket. When he saw the caller ID on it, it turned out to be the phone number of the operating room. He immediately realized what was happening in the operating room and hurriedly walked away.
Run towards the inpatient building.
Soon Chen Tianlin arrived at the floor where the operating room was located. He walked quickly to the office and saw the doctors and nurses in the office. Before he could ask, a doctor immediately said to Chen Tianlin: "Director Chen! You are finally here.
Well, the patient in operating room No. 3 died suddenly during the operation."
When Chen Tianlin heard what the doctor said, his expression suddenly changed and he asked: "Dr. Xiao! What did you say? If I remember correctly, the patient in operating room No. 3 underwent an exploratory laparotomy, and this operation was still
Director Qin performed the surgery himself, how could the patient die suddenly?"
When Dr. Xiao heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry, he shook his head subconsciously and replied: "Director Chen! I don't know the specific situation. Director Qin is currently rescuing the patient in the operating room. He asked me to inform you to go to surgery No. 3 immediately.
room."
Chen Tianlin didn't know why the patient who underwent surgery died suddenly during the operation, but he knew clearly that if the patient really died, it would have a great impact on Director Qin's career, and even make Director Qin lose his reputation.
, when he heard Dr. Xiao's answer, he immediately walked quickly towards the dressing room without saying a word.
After changing his clothes, Chen Tianlin walked into the No. 3 operating room. When he saw Director Qin rescuing the patient, he asked Director Qin: "Director Qin! How is the patient's condition?"
Director Qin, who was trying to save the patient, heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry and replied solemnly: "To me, this exploratory laparotomy is just a minor operation, and there are no problems with the operation process at all.
But when the operation was about to be completed, the patient's heart suddenly stopped beating."
During Director Qin's introduction, Chen Tianlin had already checked all the instruments and confirmed that the patient was indeed dead. His brain suddenly received a message from the medical assistance system: "Master! This patient is not dead."
Not dead, but in the stage of suspended animation."
The information transmitted by the medical assistance system made Chen Tianlin obviously stunned. He looked at the ECG monitor next to the operating table again. He saw that the ECG monitor would show a weak curve every few minutes. If you don't observe it carefully with the naked eye,
, can’t see clearly at all.
This discovery immediately confirmed the information transmitted by the medical assistance system, and Chen Tianlin couldn't help but blurt out: "Director Qin! Look at the ECG monitor. This patient did not really die, but was in the stage of suspended animation."
Suspended animation refers to a state in which vital signs such as breathing and heartbeat are very weak. On the surface, it looks almost like a dead person. If you do not check carefully, it is easy to be mistaken for death; but in fact, you are still alive. After active treatment, you will be dead.
It can temporarily or long-term resuscitation. Even the "corpse" is processed or buried, but its breathing, heartbeat, pulse, and blood pressure are very weak and cannot be detected by ordinary methods.
When Director Qin heard Chen Tianlin's reminder, he immediately looked at the ECG monitor, but what he saw was a straight line. He frowned and asked Chen Tianlin: "Xiao Chen! Are you deliberately trying to comfort me?"
Are you looking for an excuse to fool me? Look at the ECG monitor, there is no response at all, how could you think that the patient is in a state of suspended animation?"
Just when Chen Tianlin was sure that the patient was in a state of suspended animation, Chen Tianlin had already picked up the patient's medical records and looked through them carefully. When he heard Director Qin's inquiry, he answered: "Director Qin! Look carefully at the ECG monitor.
Every few minutes, a weak curve will appear on the ECG monitor. If there is no heartbeat, why will there be a weak curve on the ECG monitor?"
"In addition, according to this case, the patient has a long history of smoking. Smoking caused the patient to suffer from hypertrophic pharyngitis and emphysema. In addition, the patient himself has high blood pressure. The surgical process caused the patient to consume too much physical energy, causing the patient
If there are signs of suspended animation, we can use soap foam and apply it to the patient's nostrils. If the bubbles change, it means the patient is breathing."
Director Qin heard the situation introduced by Chen Tianlin and immediately asked the nurse to take some soap foam and apply it on the patient's nostrils. As Chen Tianlin said, the soap foam on the patient's nostrils slowly evolved into bubbles that could be seen with the naked eye.
The slow speed gradually changes.
Although the patient's heart has stopped beating, Director Qin knows very well that the hope of successfully rescuing the patient is very slim, but even if he has a little hope, Director Qin is not willing to give up, because it not only affects him
The patient's reputation is more closely related to the patient's life and death.
"Xiao Chen! Thank you!" It was confirmed that the patient was in suspended animation, which made Director Qin feel ecstatic. He first expressed his gratitude to Chen Tianlin, and then stood in front of the operating table and continued to perform cardiac resuscitation on the patient, hoping to wake the patient up.
.
Seeing Director Qin trying to use cardiac resuscitation to wake up the patient, Chen Tianlin knew clearly that based on the patient's current condition, ordinary cardiac resuscitation surgery would not be able to wake up the patient at all. At this time, he walked to the operating table and said to a patient.
A doctor who was assisting Director Qin ordered: "Doctor Ding! Prepare the thoracotomy equipment!"
"Open the chest!"
Director Qin was obviously stunned by Chen Tianlin's instructions. He couldn't figure out what Chen Tianlin wanted to do for a while. But when he thought of Chen Tianlin's superb medical skills, he immediately said to Chen Tianlin: "Xiao Chen! Although I don't know why you
A chest opening is required, but I believe you will make this decision for your own reasons. You can do it with confidence. If the patient really cannot be saved, it has nothing to do with you."
When Chen Tianlin heard Director Qin's words, he naturally understood Director Qin's intentions very well. At this time, he took out the silver needle from his pocket and said to Director Qin with a smile: "Director Qin! Don't be so pessimistic. With the patient's current condition, basically
CPR cannot bring the patient back to life, so the only way is to use intrathoracic CPR."
"This method can effectively restart the patient's heart. The only disadvantage is that the patient has a high probability of becoming a vegetative state."
As he spoke, Chen Tianlin reached out to remove the surgical drape covering the patient's body, inserted the sterilized silver needles into several acupuncture points on the patient's body, a rigorous expression instantly appeared on his face, and he instinctively raised a palm.
