The emergency hall was very cold. Although there was a thick cotton curtain hanging on the door and the air conditioner blowing continuously, it could not warm up.
Almost all the emergency departments of hospitals were the coldest places.
In front of the emergency resuscitation room, Old Chief Physician Pan stood like a mountain. Chief Zhou stood to the side with a cold expression.
"Zheng Ren, is the surgery done?" Old Chief Physician Pan asked.
"Yes, it's done," Zheng Ren said. "The patient's injuries are very serious. The liver is especially broken. It's a complete liver."
Zheng Ren's last words made Old Chief Physician Pan and Chief Zhou realize the seriousness of the situation.
Ordinary hepatectomy was done very well in Class Three Grade A Hospitals. The probability of mistakes was not high.
However, it was different for a complete liver rupture.
They could not cut it. They could only suture it.
Old Chief Physician Pan did not continue asking. This was not the time to ask how the surgery was done. Patients with slightly more serious injuries were sent over one after another, while those with less serious injuries were all treated in Yuandian County.
"How many patients have been admitted?" Zheng Ren asked.
"So far, 16, mainly orthopedics and thoracic departments," Old Chief Physician Pan said.
Generally speaking, this was the case. However, if it was just a fracture, it should not be a big problem. The patients who had just been operated on might have thought that the car was too fast and there was a problem with the car's sheet metal, which resulted in serious thoracic and abdominal injuries.
If a seat belt was fastened, when encountering a rear-end car accident, the most common thing would be the chest hitting the steering wheel, resulting in a sternum fracture.
This reflected the importance of seat belts and airbags.
The seat belts and airbags mitigated most of the force, so even if the sternum was fractured, it would not be very serious. It was far from the explosive force that would damage the heart and mediastinum.
"It's been more than ten minutes since the last patient was sent in." Old Chief Physician Pan looked at the time and said, "I think that's it."
As he spoke, a head poked out from the door of the nurse's station. The night nurse shouted, "Chief Physician Pan, we received a call from the first-aid ambulance. It said that a patient had a cardiac arrest twenty-five minutes after entering the city. They're rushing to our hospital and will arrive in three to five minutes."
"…" Old Chief Physician Pan frowned. What was going on?
If the patient was seriously injured, why did they not rescue him immediately? How long had it been!
However, now was not the time to scold people. When Zheng Ren heard the nurse's words, he immediately brought the last stretcher trolley with him to the emergency department's main entrance and waited.
They didn't hide in the house. After all, it was a cardiac arrest. They didn't know if he could be saved. Regardless of whether he could be saved or not, saving a second was a second.
One second was extremely precious to the patient and to CPR.
The sound of the first-aid ambulance came from not far away. It was snowing heavily. If not for the sound of the ambulance, it would have been a quiet night that could make people reminisce about countless past events.
A few glasses of wine, a few good friends, sitting around a steaming hot pot, bragging, talking about the past that had been dried up by time. It was as beautiful as it could be.
However, Zheng Ren could not enjoy it.
The night of Xie Yiren's birthday would leave behind a series of busy and palpitating memories in the future.
The first-aid ambulance was driving very fast. It was almost at the maximum speed that could be controlled.
He managed to stop the car, but the car veered away from the gate.
Zheng Ren rushed forward with the escort, and the patient was immediately pushed down. The System panel in the upper right corner of his vision was a vast expanse of white.
"…" Zheng Ren cursed in his heart. He was really dead.
"The left wrist radial artery was cut. When he got into the ambulance, his blood pressure was 60/40 and he couldn't drive fast enough. His heart stopped five minutes ago." The doctor in the first-aid ambulance roared as he ran with the stretcher trolley to the emergency resuscitation room.
It was as fast as lightning. Before he could finish speaking, the patient had already arrived at the emergency resuscitation room.
Under the control of the escort, the stretcher trolley used a beautiful drift to save two seconds.
"I've been doing CPR on the patient, but I can't save him." The doctor in the first-aid ambulance fell behind. A few minutes of CPR had already exhausted him.
Going all out on chest compressions would indeed consume a lot of energy.
He watched the stretcher trolley drift into the emergency resuscitation room and sighed in his heart. A big hospital was indeed different. Look at the emergency treatment.
Just the escort who pushed the stretcher trolley was so professional.
However, no matter how professional they were, it was probably useless.
This patient's radial artery was cut by broken glass. The patient himself did not pay attention. He used the towel that was prepared in the car to cover the wound. He refused the first-aid ambulance's help and sent his injured wife and child to the ambulance first.
Because the journey was long and the snow was slippery, it took a long time for the ambulance to go back and forth. He did not pay much attention to it himself. He only thought that it was a scratch. Therefore, when the ambulance arrived again, he was still helping to move the other patients when he fainted.
When he got into the ambulance, his blood pressure was measured. It was 60/40 mmHg. The diagnosis of hemorrhagic shock was undeniable.
The doctor in the first-aid ambulance set up an intravenous line for him and used the corresponding blood pressure drugs to maintain it.
However, it was a rupture of the radial artery after all. No matter how much he maintained it, he did not make it to Sea City General Hospital.
This person was probably going to die, the doctor in the first-aid ambulance judged. Since his family was not around, there was no need to put on a show for his family.
After three to five minutes of chest compressions, if he could not be saved, he could be declared clinically dead.
Although it was a pity, it could only be so.
If his heart stopped beating for more than ten minutes, even if he was saved, the long period of cerebral hypoxia would cause the patient to become a vegetable.
In his opinion, that was meaningless.
Why bother?
He bent down and held his knees with his hands. His hands were trembling slightly as he panted heavily. This was a spasm and convulsion caused by muscle tension after a long period of exertion.
There was someone on the other side, so the doctor in the first-aid ambulance was not in a hurry.
He took a few deep breaths before standing up. He prepared to walk over to the doctor from the emergency department of Sea City General Hospital to hand over the case before returning.
After taking a few steps, the sound of the stretcher trolley's big wheels grinding against the marble floor rang out again.
Giving up so quickly?
The doctor in the first-aid ambulance was a little puzzled.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" the escort shouted, angrily chasing away the people walking in the emergency corridor.
At this moment, the only people blocking the way were the doctor and the nurse in the ambulance.
"…" The doctor was stunned for a moment. The person was already dead, so why was he still angry?
However, he did not care. During emergency treatment, the surging adrenaline and dopamine would indeed make people irritable.
The stretcher trolley roared past him. The doctor in the first-aid ambulance widened his eyes and then became stupefied.
He looked at the patient in shock. His lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he did not have the strength to say it.
His movements were a little slow, and the nurse holding the infusion bottle violently knocked him away.
He ran all the way.
