The group of medical staff who were watching the scene instantly perked up when they heard the abnormal sound coming from the monitor.
This was a conditioned reflex that had been formed over the years.
Naturally, the patient's family was slower.
Most of the patient's family members were seeing a doctor resuscitating a patient for the first time. Some of them might have seen CPR for the first time or seen the monitor for the first time. They did not know what was normal and what was abnormal.
Even when a nurse excitedly shouted "sinus rhythm", the patient's family members still looked confused.
"Pimples … Is it good or bad?"
"I'm just joking. It might not be good … I can't really say. What's so funny?"
"He looks like he's turning green …"
"Shh …"
The group of relatives craned their necks and whispered to each other as they guessed.
Only the patient's son widened his eyes, but he did not focus at all.
"Continue sending him to the operating theater. Continue monitoring the carbon dioxide content. Make sure the brain is protected from hypothermia …" Ling Ran looked at the monitor and ordered. He then took off his gloves.
The result of performing chest compressions was sweating all over, and it was extremely tiring.
Ling Ran took out a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer from his clothes. He slowly wiped his hands while he gave medical advice.
His medical advice was general, and it was not specific to the dosage of a certain medicine.
This was because Ling Ran hoped that Yu Yuan could adjust the dosage in real time. After all, everyone's reaction to every medicine was different. Ling Ran's current standard dosage of medicine would not be the most appropriate.
The most appropriate dosage usually required the patient to try it out continuously, and the dosage was adjusted according to the patient's reaction.
Although Yu Yuan's practical skills were as weak as a chicken, her knowledge was as strong as a stubborn goose. Of course, the most important thing was that Ling Ran had already explained the direction of the medicine.
When it came to the specific use of drugs, this was something that resident doctors could do.
Yu Yuan quickly agreed to it and began to think about giving orders.
Ling Ran listened by the side. When he saw that Yu Yuan had her own ideas, he secretly nodded.
The most important thing in CPR was to restore the heart's natural rhythm. The next part of waiting for the patient to wake up was not something that could be solved with strong medicine in a short period of time. It required a long period of careful medication, and most importantly … luck!
At least up until now, sudden cardiac death was still a major cause of human death. Forget about saving the patient's life, even a 10% probability was already considered lucky.
The patient's family members stared at him for a while before someone came to their senses.
"Has he been saved?"
"He's really alive?"
"I told you that he would be fine once he was sent to the hospital."
Bing 'zi was stunned for a long time. He shouted "Dad" and rushed forward. He was about to get on the bed.
Lu Wenbin turned around and hugged him. "What are you doing? The patient might die with just a touch. "
As Bing Zi listened, he struggled even more.
Zuo Cidian coughed a few times and said, "Doctor Lu, don't say that."
After that, Zuo Cidian patted Bing Zi's shoulder and shouted, "If you touch a finger, the patient might die, do you understand?"
The patient's son was so scared that his whole body trembled. Only then did he stop struggling.
"People don't know what to do when they encounter major events." Zuo Cidian spoke in the tone of someone who had seen a lot of things. "I don't see many doctors in big hospitals. When I was in the town hospital, some family members went crazy when they saw their patients. They didn't know who to listen to, and they didn't know what to do. Some men smoked until they puked."
"I … I'm not …" The patient's son took a deep breath and tiptoed to look in the direction where the patient was pushed. "I haven't seen my father yet. At least let me see what's going on."
"Myocardial infarction. He's not out of danger yet." Zuo Cidian looked at him and said, "I can't show you now."
Zuo Cidian did not say things like "you can't understand".
"But … now … what's the situation now?" Bing Zi asked.
Ling Ran walked over and said, "The patient's heart has recovered its natural rhythm. Next, we need to perform surgery to ensure that the blood vessels are unobstructed. After that, if the patient can wake up, we can do further recovery treatment. "
"What if he can't wake up?" Bing Zi was afraid.
"The patient is at risk of going into a vegetative state, which means that he's brain dead …" Zuo Cidian took over the conversation again and said, "I've said it before. CPR is performed because the patient's heart can't take it anymore. Now, with so many of us, we finally saved your father. But whether there will be any sequelae and what kind of sequelae there will be, we still can't tell. Do you understand?"
Bing Zi's eyes were filled with a dazed look again.
Zuo Cidian could see that once this man heard something professional, he would be distracted. This was exactly the kind of person who was specially trained in school.
After thinking for a while, Zuo Cidian said, "In general, things are going in a good direction. Your family members must also cooperate, understand?"
"Understood, understood!" Bing Zi understood this time.
"Your family members should also communicate with each other. If there's any problem, we'll discuss it after we finish the surgery."
"Okay!"
Zuo Cidian paused for a while and said, "There's not even one case of a hospital being able to revive a patient after an hour of CPR. Your father's luck has been pretty good so far."
Bing Zi was slightly more awake now. He quickly said, "Thank you, thank you … thank you, doctor …"
When Zuo Cidian heard this, he smiled faintly and gestured for Bing Zi to return to the group of family members.
Wei Jiayou walked over and listened quietly by the side.
The success rate of normal CPR was very high, and he had performed many of them himself.
However, Wei Jiayou's success rate in prolonged CPR was not higher than the average index in the hospital. Therefore, Wei Jiayou actually did not have much experience in the follow-up of prolonged CPR.
"There are always talented people in every generation." Academician Di stood behind Wei Jiayou and praised him while clicking his tongue.
Academician Di had seen a lot of prolonged CPR, and he had performed many of them himself. Academician Di saw what Ling Ran did in his heart, and he quietly appreciated it.
"If I were in this hospital, I might have succeeded just now." Wei Jiayou could be considered as an explanation.
Academician Di smiled and said, "There's no need to hold on to what has already happened. What you need the most now is a general affairs officer."
"What?"
"Even a secretary who handles daily work needs to know some medicine." Academician Di's gaze fell on Zuo Cidian.
Wei Jiayou could not help but laugh. "What do I need this for?"
"At least you won't get beaten up." As Academician Di spoke, he walked closer to Zuo Cidian and said with a smile, "I heard from you just now that you've worked in the town hospital before?"
"Yes." Zuo Cidian still felt diffident in front of Academician Di. If a self-mocking resident doctor was a little yellow dog, an academician was at least a wild donkey.
Academician Di tried his best to be approachable and asked, "Are you a doctor from Yun Hua Hospital? It's not normal for you to work in Yun Hua Hospital from the town hospital. "
"I was … recruited by society. I started from scratch." Zuo Cidian felt even more diffident.
"It's not easy to start from scratch, right?"
"It's alright."
"What do you think is the most difficult part?"
Zuo Cidian did not understand why Academician Di would ask such a detailed question, so he thought about it and said softly, "The most difficult part … is probably the long working hours."
Academician Di thought about it and felt that the working hours in his hospital were also very long, so he asked, "What else?"
"No holidays."
Academician Di first asked himself, "What is a holiday?" Then, he nodded pretentiously. "What else?"
"The salary is low." Zuo Cidian also let it go. "I have to rent a house in Yun Hua now, and I can't make ends meet …"
Academician Di sighed. The rent in Shanghai was higher, and the salary was not much higher than in Yun Hua Hospital.
Academician Di asked himself, 'Is it so difficult to poach a small fry nowadays? What about the classic complaints of those resident doctors, such as not being able to learn skills, feeling that they have no future, and not having the chance to practice, and so on? Such an old resident doctor should have more things to complain about. '
"I'm talking about clinical skills." Academician Di pointed out the direction again.
Zuo Cidian shook his head. "There's nothing too difficult about clinical skills. I think it's much better than working in a hospital."
"It's not difficult to learn skills?"
"It's not difficult."
This time, Academician Di did not know what to say. This was not right.
Fortunately, Zuo Cidian still had the ability to observe other people's expressions. After he realized that Academician Di was stuck, Zuo Cidian tried his best to think before he said softly, "There are also things that I'm not used to. Right now, the thing that I'm not used to the most is that everyone keeps calling me Doctor Zuo. I actually like people calling me Young Zuo, because it makes me look younger … My former leader only uses' Doctor Zuo 'when he wants to scold someone."
