Under normal circumstances, the local first-aid command center would send vehicles to rescue them according to the distance.
There were also patients' families who strongly requested to specify which hospital's vehicle situation.
However, this was all done by people who were familiar with the process. They strongly requested it, and the command center would pinch their noses and accept it.
After all, no one wanted to cause trouble. If they were to be complained about this kind of thing, it would not be worth it.
Soon, the emergency department of the 912 received a call. The location was relatively far away.
Zhou Litao picked up the first-aid kit and got into the car with the nurse. He did not forget to tell his family to call him if there was any critical illness.
"Chief Zhou, why are you following us?" the nurse from the emergency department asked.
"Chief Zheng said that there is a patient who fainted after eating and has already started to eat steamed buns." Zhou Litao's heart felt like it was being scratched by a kitten's claws. He could not wait to teleport to the patient.
"…" The nurse was stunned.
If he fainted after eating, wouldn't that person starve to death? Did he have to receive intravenous infusions every day?
However, if he did not eat and did not have the process of chewing, was there any meaning to life?
The first-aid ambulance drove all the way to the designated location. Before the ambulance could stop, Zhou Litao jumped out of the car and ran in with the first-aid kit.
"Chief Zhou, wait a minute," the nurse shouted from behind.
"You're not in a hurry. I'll go in and take a look first." Zhou Litao's figure had already disappeared.
After entering the room, Zhou Litao saw Zheng Ren chatting with a hale and hearty old man. They were happy and harmonious, and there was no sign of a patient at all.
"Chief Zhou, you're here," Zheng Ren said with a smile when he saw Zhou Litao rush over.
"Yes, Chief Zheng, where is the patient?" Zhou Litao asked.
"Since you're here, we'll start the experiment. Don't be nervous, old man. I want you to do a few movements to be able to make a clear diagnosis," Zheng Ren said.
The old man sitting on the sofa nodded.
"Old man, let me emphasize again. Actually, the experiment should be done in the hospital," Zheng Ren said very seriously. "Our conditions here are limited. I can only try my best to ensure your safety."
"Chief Zheng, to be honest, I don't believe that I'll faint if I lean to the side. If that's the case, I think I should have died a long time ago, "the old man said with a smile." As long as I don't go to the hospital, it's fine. I've been very bored these few days. I'll play with you to relieve my boredom. "
Zhou Litao was speechless. Was there such a way to relieve boredom?
A simple tilting test bench had already been prepared. It was just a sturdy wooden board that had to be pried to maintain a tilt. As for the old man's safety, Zheng Ren and Su Yun were present. They would try their best not to let him get injured.
"Sublingual 400
He handed the box to the old man.
The old man chuckled. It seemed like there was no problem at all. Just by looking at his appearance and expression, it was impossible to tell that he had threatened everyone with bread to "commit suicide" an hour ago.
"Chief Zhou, is the ECG monitoring done?" Zheng Ren asked.
"…"
Who would carry an ECG monitor in a car while carrying a patient? Zhou Litao sighed, put down the first aid kit, and went back to pick up the ECG monitor.
The machine was brought up, and the cuffs were fastened. The machine was turned on, and the blood pressure was measured in the sitting position.
110/75mmhG, no problem at all.
After drinking the nitroglycerin, the old man stood on the wooden board. The family moved a corner and Zheng Ren and Su Yun gently supported him to prevent him from falling.
"You call this an experiment?" the old man said with a smile. "I don't feel anything at all."
He was very relaxed, and Luan Yingjie did not think anything of it. It was like a child playing house. It was simply nonsense.
It was tilted at 70 degrees. In less than ten seconds, the ECG monitor began to alarm wildly.
The electrocardiogram showed that the patient had junctional arrhythmia, frequent ventricular premature beats, and ventricular tachycardia!
His blood pressure began to drop from normal.
100 … 90 … 70 … 50 …
The high blood pressure had dropped to shock. Zhou Litao was dumbfounded.
He had only learned about the tilt test, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Who in the emergency department would do a tilt test for a patient?!
This time, it was really an eye-opener.
"Dopamine, quick!" Zheng Ren and Su Yun immediately supported the old man. He lay flat on the ground, set up an intravenous channel, and began to inject dopamine.
Luan Yingjie was going crazy. How could a good person die just like that?
He did not know what a tilt test was. However, the obvious numbers on the ECG monitor told him that his father was on the verge of death.
This was something he had never expected!
He looked at the medicine box. It was definitely nitroglycerin. Would taking this medicine under the tongue kill him? Definitely not.
Would leaning the body 70 degrees kill him?
If that was the case, the amusement park would be closed.
Why was it that when the two were put together, the old man seemed to be on the verge of death?
MD！
"What are you doing!" Luan Yingjie was in a state of confusion and roared.
Zheng Ren ignored him. Luan Yingjie came up to push Zheng Ren away, but Su Yun turned around and kicked the root of Luan Yingjie's thigh. The guy immediately lost his ability to move.
"Don't f * cking cause trouble. I'm giving him emergency treatment," Su Yun said with a smile, not in a hurry.
There was only blood pressure medicine. The other emergency medicine in the first-aid kit was not touched. Zheng Ren half-squatted beside the old man, ready to save him at any time. However, the blood pressure continued to drop, but he did not do anything.
Zhou Litao was dumbfounded.
Should the patient not be carried to the first-aid ambulance and sent to the hospital?
The blood pressure had already dropped below 40 mmhG. Was he really fine?
Time passed. When the blood pressure dropped to 37.5 mmhG, it finally 'bottomed out' and began to rise.
The heart rate gradually stabilized.
"The tilt test triggered by the sublingual administration of 400 μg nitroglycerin caused the patient to faint and have a five-minute hypotension reaction. The lowest blood pressure was 37.5/29.2
Mmhg, and the heart rate was 75 bpm. No cardiac arrest was observed during the tilt test, "Zheng Ren said calmly.
Zhou Litao felt like he had returned to the ward and the chief was confidently making ward rounds.
He subconsciously took out a pen and a piece of paper from his shirt pocket to record Zheng Ren's words.
"Wow, I slept so soundly." Soon, the old man's blood pressure returned to normal, and so did his consciousness.
He sat up from the ground, stretched, and murmured.
"Were you dreaming?" Su Yun smiled. "Dreaming of eating bread."
"Uh …" Only then did the old man remember what happened before he 'fell asleep'.
It seemed like two doctors were playing a game with him.
What kind of test was this? Why did he faint?
He looked around in a daze. The nannies were standing in the corner like quails. His son was lying on the ground, hugging his leg as if he was injured.
"What happened?" the old man asked absentmindedly.
He had no memory of everything that happened when he was unconscious.
