"You …" Zuo Cidian glanced at the name on his phone again and cursed before he hung up.
Zheng Pei smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone and put down his phone. When Ling Ran entered the hospital, he was already a senior resident doctor. Last year, he even passed the rank of attending physician and became a junior attending physician in the Emergency Medical Center. Usually, when he ran into Zuo Cidian, the latter would also treat him with respect.
However, Zuo Cidian's tone was not good, and he was even displeased. Zheng Pei could not do anything about it. He knew that he was in the wrong, and he could not bring himself to resent him.
After all, CPR was not a divine skill. It could not guarantee that a patient with cardiac arrest could be saved.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the operation was normal, there would not be much difference in whether CPR was performed well or badly. The key was still the patient's condition. If the patient's body was relatively better and the condition of their heart was better, the probability of them surviving would be higher.
Therefore, when Zheng Pei called Ling Ran over at this time, it was equivalent to Zheng Pei throwing the hot potato in his hands to Ling Ran. This was completely different from calling the CPR team over.
No doctor wanted to face this kind of problem where they had to save both the patient and the patient. In fact, there was no such thing as losing one patient and saving the other. It was more likely that both the patient and the patient would die.
If they were in a different environment and patient, Zheng Pei would definitely not have made the call just now.
If the patient needed to bleed profusely to save their lives, it was normal to look for Ling Ran, but CPR did not have an immediate effect.
Even though Ling Ran had presided over many prolonged CPR surgeries and had quite a lot of experience and even achievements, there were no statistics on how much higher the success rate of doctors who were skilled in CPR compared to normal doctors was.
Zheng Pei only thought of Ling Ran immediately.
Based on his daily observation and information, he could vaguely feel that Ling Ran's CPR had a higher success rate.
This was just a personal understanding without any evidence, but in this situation, Ling Ran was really a life-saving straw.
Even if he was blamed after this and made things difficult for him, Zheng Pei could not care less.
Zheng Pei's face was dark. He lowered his head and looked at the pregnant woman on the hospital bed.
It was a slightly plump woman. Her face was fair and round, and she looked about thirty years old. Before she came to the hospital, she had put on light makeup, and it was very shiny.
Her abdomen was bulging, but there were no obvious stretch marks. It was obvious that she had regular care.
Zheng Pei didn't know her, but when he saw this woman, he couldn't help but think of her as his older sister, younger sister, or mother.
This woman must have been quite happy and blissful during her pregnancy, and the living conditions at home must have been pretty good.
After a difficult 40 weeks of pregnancy, she should be shopping for baby products and looking forward to the arrival of a little life.
No one would have expected that the danger that threatened both mother and baby would come so suddenly.
No, this couldn't even be called dangerous, it could be called a disaster.
Zheng Pei's expression was cold.
The experience of practicing medicine for several years was long and short.
As far as doctors were concerned, Zheng Pei, who had just become an attending physician, had just started his career.
But for an ordinary adult, with nearly 10 years of professional experience, he had sufficient judgment and understanding of everything in front of him —
Inviting Ling Ran over was the greatest chance of survival for this woman and the baby in her womb.
It was also the best chance to save two families, or perhaps several families.
If he offended someone because of this, then so be it.
Zheng Pei gritted his teeth and said to the few people who were performing CPR, "Doctor Ling should be rushing over. Everyone, hold on."
"Okay." The few doctors lowered their heads.
There were also rules for inviting senior doctors over. For the current situation, it was reasonable to ask doctors from other departments for an emergency consultation or the associate chief physician of the group to come over.
But asking Ling Ran to come over was a little too much.
When they thought about the complexity of this patient, the few junior doctors who were even more inexperienced than Zheng Pei were even more worried.
"Did Doctor Ling really agree?" The resident doctor who was usually on Zheng Pei's shift asked again to confirm.
Zheng Pei nodded.
"We've been performing CPR for almost twenty minutes."
"Do you have any other moves?" Zheng Pei's voice became a little stricter.
The resident doctor immediately shut his mouth and said nothing.
In the current situation, if anyone had a move, they would not be able to hide it.
"Let me do it." Zheng Pei was also annoyed. He directly replaced the doctor who was performing CPR. He climbed up, crossed his hands, and counted 01, 02, 03.
A standard CPR required one hundred compressions in a minute, and each compression had to be more than three centimeters deep. The intensity of this kind of external chest compressions was obvious to doctors.
Zheng Pei had already done two compressions. This time, his back was soon covered in sweat.
"Speed up." At some point in time, Ling Ran had already brought people to the resuscitation room downstairs.
Zheng Pei tensed up, then relaxed a little …
"Speed up again. If you can't do it, let's change people. "Ling Ran's voice followed. What he said was not very pleasing, but Zheng Pei and the others did not care.
"I have strength now." Zheng Pei laughed self-deprecatingly and started to perform chest compressions.
In his resuscitation group, Zheng Pei was the doctor with the best skills. Now that Ling Ran was here, Zheng Pei did not think about saving his strength.
The young doctor beside him reported the heart rate, blood pressure, and other figures loudly. Ling Ran did not seem to be listening, and his attention was focused on Zheng Pei's movements.
The core of the problem was that the pregnant woman's heartbeat had stopped. Only by solving this problem, and only by solving this problem could they solve the current predicament.
"Young Zheng called you over?" Doctor Zhou walked over from the other side of the resuscitation room with a solemn expression.
"Yes," Ling Ran answered, but he turned around and asked, "Is the doctor from the Gynecology Department here?"
"I'm here." A doctor in his thirties stood up. He looked ordinary and was not famous. Ling Ran did not have any impression of him.
"How long do you think the fetus can last?" Ling Ran asked.
"A full-term fetus at forty weeks …" The attending physician from the Gynecology Department shook his head slightly and said, "From the perspective of the fetus, the survival rate is definitely the highest if we perform a cesarean section now."
However, if they performed a cesarean section now, it would be equivalent to giving up on the mother.
Ling Ran naturally knew the difficulty of this choice, but he did not show it. He thought about it and said, "The patient has been undergoing CPR for nearly twenty minutes? We'll make the final decision after thirty minutes. "
"Doctor Ling, with all due respect, with the patient's current situation, the fetus will probably die after thirty minutes of cardiac arrest," the attending physician from the Gynecology Department braced himself and said.
"Even if we perform a cesarean section now, we can't guarantee the survival rate of the fetus, right?" Ling Ran asked in return.
The attending physician from the Gynecology Department did not want to refute, but he had to continue speaking, "But … but the survival rate is definitely higher now. I'm not saying that I suggest a cesarean section, I'm just …"
"Shirking responsibility?" Zuo Cidian had just caught his breath and said coldly.
"No one wants to encounter a situation like this now …" The attending physician from the Gynecology Department deliberately glared at Zheng Pei and said, "Twenty minutes is indeed very long, and even if we add another ten minutes, we might not be able to save the mother …"
The air in the resuscitation room seemed to have become sticky.
Many doctors would not encounter such a situation even after practicing medicine for their entire lives. However, the doctors who encountered such a situation today felt extremely complicated.
Fortunately, no one asked for the family's opinion.
Ling Ran pondered for a few seconds.
Then, his expression became calm again. "We'll perform CPR for another ten minutes. Doctor from the Gynecology Department, please ask your best doctor to come over now. You must be here within ten minutes."
The attending physician from the Gynecology Department still wanted to argue. "Doctor Ling …"
Ling Ran said slowly, "If the fetus can survive, I believe that he or she will be willing to fight for his or her life and give the mother a chance for ten minutes."
After he said that, Ling Ran no longer wanted to ask for advice. He directly said to Zheng Pei, "Now, it's my turn. I'll count down from ten seconds."
