After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zheng Ren showed no signs of impatience.
He was very patient, like an experienced hunter, staring at his prey. His eyes focused, shining like stars.
5′23″。
The young patient's snoring changed as expected.
The rhythm of his snoring changed, and the time he stopped breathing lengthened. Zheng Ren did not move, but Su Yun tapped on the timer on his phone that he had prepared earlier.
10 seconds … 20 seconds … 30 seconds … One minute …
After a full minute, the young patient still did not breathe.
There was obviously something wrong with Zhang Weiyu's description. It was not 50 seconds, but one minute.
However, this was also normal. He slept in a daze at night, so his estimation of time was definitely not accurate.
As the snoring disappeared, there was no other sound from the television. It was eerily quiet.
The entire private room was filled with the aroma of mutton soup, but no one paid attention to it. The young man on the television had stopped breathing for such a long time. It was disturbing.
One and a half minutes later, the young patient still did not breathe.
Through the low resolution image, one could vaguely see that his lips had turned purple.
Zhang Weiyu panicked a little.
Could it be that the patient's blood pressure had risen and he had died of cerebral hemorrhage because of the video?
He was about to … witness the entire process of a person's death.
For the doctors in the room, this was a common occurrence. However, for a businessman like Zhang Weiyu, it would become a nightmare in the future.
Another ten seconds passed, and the young man still did not breathe.
The bruises on his body had turned into cyanosis.
Department Chief Wei could not see clearly without his glasses. He rubbed his eyes hard and tried to change his angle.
"Old Kong, is it cyanosis?" Department Chief Wei asked in a low voice.
Department Chief Kong stared at him and nodded.
This was … Snoring rarely led to suffocation. This was a simple scientific principle.
When the lack of oxygen reached a certain level, the body would send a self-protection signal to 'wake' up. After that, the young man would breathe on his own again.
They understood this principle, but witnessing a person snoring loudly a second ago and lying there motionless as if he was dead.
This was … too strange.
Medical theory collided with intuition. Many of the department chiefs had the same question. Was he dead …
What was written in the book and what was in front of him were two completely different concepts.
After another ten seconds, the cyanosis on the waiter's body had worsened. Director Wei did not need to change the angle to see it on the low resolution television screen.
Zhang Weiyu panicked. He picked up his phone and prepared to call the other side.
Don't watch him die. That will become a nightmare for the rest of your life.
"Don't move yet." Zheng Ren looked at the television screen, but he also noticed Zhang Weiyu's actions. The waiter's hands and feet twitched. He immediately stopped Zhang Weiyu.
"…" Zhang Weiyu clutched his phone, his palms sweaty.
The waiter's hands and feet were trembling and spasming more and more frequently, as if he was having an epileptic fit.
After a few seconds, his body suddenly trembled, and then he took a deep breath, which turned into a snoring sound.
F * ck …
Everyone was dumbfounded by what they saw.
They were all experienced doctors, and they all knew that the breathing stopped during snoring could last up to two to three minutes.
However, that was a theory in books after all. After so many years, as long as the person next to them did not snore like this, they would not have seen it with their own eyes.
Even if their lover snored like this, they would have slept in separate rooms long ago. Either they did not see it, or they would have woken him up early in the morning. It was impossible for them to watch a living person suffocate himself to the point of cyanosis.
It was too scary. Although the old chief physicians were experienced and knowledgeable, their hearts were thumping wildly.
A blind deer's heart was beating wildly.
Then, the waiter began to turn over, as if he could not find a comfortable position for him. He kept rolling around.
The cyanosis on his body gradually subsided, but the damage caused by the lack of oxygen during that period of time would forever affect his body.
The damage might not be big enough, but over time, it would be fatal in the end.
And this kind of damage was caused by snoring, which was very common in daily life. And the final manifestation was high blood pressure, stubborn high blood pressure.
"Hypoxemia, constantly turning around and restless," Su Yun said.
"His body is starting to sweat, mainly in the upper chest. It is related to hypercapnia caused by breathing force and apnea after airway obstruction," Zheng Ren also said.
Hypoxemia and hypercapnia were fatal diagnoses. Even Zhang Weiyu knew that the situation was serious.
After looking for a few more minutes, he experienced another long period of breathing stop, but this time, the time was shorter, less than a minute.
This little waiter slept for a night, who knew how many times he had to struggle between life and death.
"Alright, turn it off," Zheng Ren said. "There should be no problem with the diagnosis of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. It has a 45% chance of causing high blood pressure, and the effect of antihypertensive drugs is limited. "
"Did you do a coronary CT scan?" Su Yun asked.
Zhang Weiyu shook his head in confusion.
Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome was a very long and complicated name. He tried very hard to remember it.
In addition, he was worried that the waiter in his old shop would suffocate himself to death. He was now a little absent-minded.
"Check it out," Zheng Ren said. "Hypoxia causes coronary artery endothelial damage, lipid deposition in the intima of the blood vessels, and increased blood viscosity. The possibility of coronary heart disease is also not small."
"Oh, okay." Zhang Weiyu did not care what the reason was, as long as he remembered the examination Boss Zheng had mentioned.
"Should we still do an MRI scan of the kidney?"
"Yes, why not? What if it develops into pheochromocytoma?" Su Yun said.
"…"
Zhang Weiyu was speechless. He could not be that unlucky.
In fact, it was not that unlucky. It was just snoring. Who would have thought that it would cause cerebral hemorrhage and stubborn high blood pressure?
"Let him come to my side," Chief Zhang Lin said. "I don't think the polysomnography can be done in the county, and most Class Three Grade A hospitals in prefecture-level cities can't do it either. Stop messing around and come directly to my side. "
"Okay, okay," Zhang Weiyu agreed.
Polysomnography was also known as the sleep electroencephalogram.
It was mainly used for sleep and dream research, as well as the diagnosis of depression and sleep apnea syndrome.
It was said that people used polysomnography to study dreams, but he could not understand the connection.
However, he did not want to understand it either. It was best if Chief Zhang Lin could do polysomnography. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to diagnose.
