Chapter 63 Daily life in the field hospital

The main clinical manifestations of cholera patients are diarrhea and vomiting, so the smell of smell is everywhere in field hospitals, which most people really can't stand.

At this time, the patients were sitting on toilets one by one, with fluid infusion on their hands, and had diarrhea while replenishing the fluid.

If you take a camera, you will be full of white butts, which is very spectacular.

Some severe patients have symptoms such as dehydration due to a lot of diarrhea and vomiting. They are either listless or restless, and some are already in a coma.

If this dehydration cannot be corrected in a short period of time, the patient's mortality rate will be very high.

In the absence of infusion in ancient times, the basic cause of death of cholera patients was caused by dehydration and electrolyte disorders in the body and multiple organ failure.

Even now, the mortality rate remained high in the 1970s and 1980s. Later, the medical industry developed greatly and prevention work was done well but cholera rarely occurred.

If a person does not eat and only drinks water, he can last for about a week, and no more than two weeks at most.

But if you don’t drink water, it will be basically difficult to last for three days, which shows the terrible dehydration.

As for the news, politicians from countries who went on hunger strike, non-violent cooperation, and then they haven't died for a month, and they are basically liars who are playing lively on stage to give speeches to fans.

What a saint or a savior who is self-proclaimed? To put it bluntly, they are all means to fight for power and profit. Whoever believes is cannon fodder?

Fortunately, no patient has died in the cholera epidemic in Yuezhou for the time being, which is a great blessing.

After the doctors from the infectious department of the Fourth Hospital arrived, they immediately changed their jobs and went straight to work. They were busy but not messy.

Chen Xia really couldn't stand the smell in the tent. As soon as he entered, he was either this person vomiting or that person was pulling. Even if the person lying on the bed was still farting, it was so sour and refreshing...

Doctors and nurses can only bite the bullet and take the lead. This is their duty.

Chen Xia was far away and followed the General Affairs Department to do odd jobs. Anyway, his reasons were very open. He was not a doctor and he did not know how to do martial arts. Oh no, he was a medical qualification.

In fact, the treatment of cholera is very simple, it is the four words: rehydration and sterilization.

The principle of replenishing electrolytes and correcting acidosis is to correct early stage, quickly and appropriately, salt first, then sugar first, fast and then slow, to correct acid and calcium, and to supplement potassium in urine.

Doctors will use some very complicated formulas to calculate how much to supplement based on the severity of the patient's dehydration and weight.

As for the application of antibacterial drugs, Ren Yuanfei has already mentioned that there are only a few drugs such as sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol.

Replenishing fluids is a treatment for symptoms, and sterilization is a treatment for the root cause. The two complement each other and are indispensable.

In fact, the nurses are more tired than doctors. After the doctors examine the patient and evaluate the condition, they can immediately go to the tent in the office to temporarily prescribe and write medical records.

But all the doctor's instructions need to be implemented by the nurses, and all the nurses have already become angry.

Because the infusion volume is too high, nurses need to constantly draw the medicine and mix it in a quiet manner, get the injection, and change the medicine. In order to be afraid of making mistakes, they have to improve their attention and check the eight-point comparison.

In addition, the nurses have another job that makes people feel depressed. Many patients can no longer sit on the toilet because of dehydration, so these people just pull on their pants and on the bed, which requires nurses to do cleaning work.

Care worker? Doesn't exist.

When working, there is never enough manpower, and everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering.

The regional revolutionary committee’s request was that no one could die. The commander-in-chief of the scene was President Gu Wei. He was busy allocating supplies and distributing personnel this day, and his voice was hoarse.

Many residents who were observing in the isolation area began to get sick after the incubation period, which brought greater difficulty to the already stressful rescue work.

What can Chen Xia do? Seeing that Lao Ren has not even had time to drink water, can his little apprentice still stay in the General Affairs Department with peace of mind?

So Chen Xia also honestly came to the doctor's office to help his colleagues convert the amount of fluids, or to help everyone record oral medical advice.

Even if he had already left the patient's tent for a while, the stench would still float over. Chen Xia had to wear an N99 mask under the cotton gauze mask, so that she felt better.

After a busy day, everyone didn’t even have time to have lunch.

In the evening, the people from the Fourth Hospital's medical team finally retreated from the clinical frontline. Everyone ran to the living area, and they all fell to the ground and couldn't get up even if they were tired.

This includes Gu Lin, who is also a nurse. If you have a mobile pedometer on your way, it will definitely exceed 30,000 steps.

The little girl kept gritting her teeth and insisting, which made Chen Xia look at her with admiration. She didn't expect that she was so tenacious at a critical moment.

But when she returned to the station, her eldest lady's temper broke out again.

"Chen Laoer, hurry up, I want to drink water."

"I'm starving, what's there to eat?"

"Ah, I don't want to eat, I want to eat chocolate, I want to replenish my energy."

Anyway, Chen Xia was like a little eunuch. Under Gu Lin's command, she kept serving her tea and water. She also kept taking out all kinds of snacks according to her requirements, and even helped her pinch her shoulders very hard.

I saw that my colleagues around me stopped doing it.

Ren Yuanfei: "Chen Xia, are there anything else to eat? The supper just now was so bad that it was hard to swallow."

Head Nurse Ding: "Oh Xiaoxia, I still want to vomit when I smell that smell. Can you help me with some food to comfort me?"

Several other young doctors and nurses were also complaining, accusing the food in the field hospitals of savory food, and saying that they were wrongly blamed by the chefs of the canteen of the Fourth Hospital. It turned out that the dishes they cooked were not that bad.

Chen Xia smiled and said, "Wait, I've prepared it for you a long time ago, but I can't tell other brothers, we can eat it secretly."

After saying that, Chen Xia got out of the tent, ran back ten minutes later, and pulled two large aluminum barrels from the trolley.

"Don't just watch, hurry up and help me carry it in, speed up."

After the two aluminum buckets were lifted into the tent, they opened them, and a pot of stewed pork with pork and a pot of pork buns were still steaming.

Everyone howled, and they all wanted to rush up and rush to eat. Chen Xia quickly closed the lid again.

"Go, you can wash your hands and faces one by one, and then wash your lunch box a little clean. Who, Guo Mutou, called Lao Gu, the old man hasn't had a day."

Everyone acted separately as quickly as possible.

Chen Xia didn't know that he was thinking about Dean Gu's actions that moved a little girl very much.

After a while, Dean Gu also arrived at the fastest speed, and snatched Gu Lin's lunch box at the fastest speed, and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

It was really a meat bun. Chen Xia was really afraid that he would choke to death, so she swallowed it before she saw him chewing it.
