In the resuscitation room, the patient was hooked up to a ventilator. Pure oxygen was inhaled and the patient's oxygen saturation improved slightly.
However, Chief Wang knew that it was only temporary.
He gestured to the increasingly skilled nurse to draw the blood with a syringe and send it for testing.
Chief Wang took the stethoscope and began to listen.
Just as Dr. Song had said, the patient's lungs were clear and there was a slight raspiness, but it was definitely not a pneumothorax.
Chief Wang's brows furrowed.
He glanced at the ECG monitor. It was a sinus rhythm, but the frequency was extremely fast, probably due to hypoxia.
He had no choice but to risk a lung CT scan and send the patient to the ICU.
Before he could get someone to call the ICU, the nurse shouted in surprise, "Chief Wang!"
"Huh?" CEO Wang turned his head and was stunned by what he saw.
The blood drawn from the syringe was blue, not the color of arterial and venous blood!
Blue …
Chief Wang's mind buzzed.
His mind went blank and short-circuited.
Although he had learned it before, he had never seen blue blood with his own eyes. For a moment, he could not think of anything. What the hell could cause blood to be blue?
However, in the blink of an eye, Mr. Wang immediately remembered that nitrite poisoning could cause symptoms of blue blood.
"Send him to the ICU!" Chief Wang roared, "Tell the ICU chief resident to look for Chief Qian."
With that, he asked the nurse to connect the intravenous channel and rushed to the ICU with the ventilator.
He ran.
…
…
Zheng Ren stood by the street and watched Su Yun's imagination run wild, amused.
He lit a cigarette in the distance and found a secluded place to smoke.
If life was always like this, with a lover, a group of random friends, laughter … It would be great if there were no major emergency surgeries and so many patients.
He had a plan. Halfway through his cigarette, his phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from President Wang.
Was it because he did not go home and was calling to blame him? Zheng Ren smiled, the corners of his mouth turning up.
"Chief Wang," Zheng Ren greeted with a smile.
"Huh? Blue? "
"Alright, I got it."
"Treat the patient in the ICU first. I'll be there soon."
With that, Zheng Ren put away his phone and shouted, "Emergency treatment!"
Although it was already very late, everyone was still having fun. The passersby were envious and refused to leave. If he didn't watch the live stream, he would feel sorry for himself.
Even the men with their girlfriends or wives kept looking back. It was just that … they really couldn't stay. Basically, they were all dragged away by the ears by the women with unfriendly expressions.
Even so, there were still dozens of people gathered by the roadside.
It was only in Sea City that there was basically no one at this hour. If they were in the capital, they would have attracted hundreds of onlookers.
Hearing Zheng Ren's roar, Su Yun jumped up. Xie Yiren put away her phone and the handsome man and beautiful woman who had been happily recording a short video disappeared into the night.
The whole process took less than ten seconds. No one felt sorry for him, and no one nagged at him.
It seemed that they had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and there was always a nerve in their brain that would not relax.
Jumping into the car, the Volvo XC60 and Xiao Feng's BMW X5 roared to life.
Along the way, he left a trail of dust.
The onlookers who witnessed this were all dumbfounded.
What was professionalism? What was quality? That was vividly displayed at that moment.
"What patient?" Su Yun got into the car and asked with a frown.
"Respiratory distress. His blood is blue," Zheng Ren said.
"Nitrite poisoning?" Su Yun asked. "Did you eat kimchi?" (Note 1)
"No." Zheng Ren frowned. "Chief Wang said that the patient is a young man. He had dinner with his girlfriend. His girlfriend is fine, but she was crying a lot. "
"Strange." Su Yun also knew that there was not much to say on the phone. Even if he asked, his boss probably only knew that much.
Feng Xuhui drove and did not interrupt. He just silently drove the car at the speed limit and went straight to Sea City General Hospital.
"Xiao Feng, go to the inpatient department. The patient is in the ICU."
"Okay."
On the way, Zheng Ren only said that.
He was thinking about what the problem was.
The oxygen-rich blood was bright red. The heme group iron ions in the patient's hemoglobin were abnormal, and they could not release the oxygen that was bound, causing the whole body to be in a state of hypoxia.
A long time ago, when the System first appeared, it encountered a situation of nitrite poisoning.
Emergency treatment was very simple. It only required methylene blue.
Chief Wang probably also suspected nitrite poisoning. Otherwise, he would not have specially told him that the patient's girlfriend had dinner together. However, it was fine.
What was going on?
What else could cause the blood to turn blue?
When he thought of the patient who was like Avatar, Zheng Ren's head became two big.
The body was blue, and it was a very serious kind. Clinically, it was called cyanosis. The blood could not carry oxygen, and the patient could suffocate to death at any time.
No matter how anxious he was, it was useless. Zheng Ren guessed that the ICU was busy with resuscitation. No matter how anxious he was, he could not find anyone.
Even if someone was there, Zheng Ren did not know what to ask.
He could only look for clues bit by bit to find out how the illness came about.
"Boss, what do you think?" Su Yun suddenly broke the silence and asked.
"Degenerative hemoglobinemia," Zheng Ren said. "Otherwise, there is no way to explain the situation of the blood turning blue."
"Should we use methylene blue or methylene blue? There will be risks if we try to treat it. "Su Yun's tone was a little heavy.
"It's okay. The risk isn't big as long as it's not subcutaneous or intrathecal injection …" As he spoke, Zheng Ren was stunned.
"Why?"
"We'll talk about it when we get there. I still insist on trying methylene blue," Zheng Ren said. "At least for now."
Su Yun did not say anything.
If he tried to treat it, he needed to control the dosage and so on. Anyway, he did not have a clue now. He would probably understand what to do after seeing the patient.
He arrived at Sea City General Hospital as fast as he could. Feng Xuhui's car slammed on the brakes, the tires letting out a shrill screech.
Zheng Ren rushed out of the car amidst the faint burning smell. He did not press the elevator and ran all the way up.
Feng Xuhui could not keep up. He knew that Boss Zheng could run faster than the elevator, but he could not.
He parked the car and took out a large suitcase.
Feng Xuhui knew what medical supplies and equipment were inside. The basic clinical use of rare medical supplies that Sea City General Hospital did not have were all in there.
He picked up the suitcase and quickly walked in.
As soon as he entered the hall, he received a call. It was Liu Xiaojie. She said that Xie Yiren and the others would go directly to the operating room. If there was a need, they could call and prepare it.
…
…
Note 1: It is definitely not nitrite poisoning. Repeated cases will not be written. I read that in the previous chapter, many people in the same industry have guessed where it came from. It's said in this chapter that they eat kimchi.
