Feng Xuhui was in a state of hemorrhagic shock, but after the blood transfusion, his condition had improved significantly.
However, the steel bar was still in the body. This kind of surgery had to be done at Chengdu Provincial Hospital or Huaxi.
It was just a thigh pierced through. In the eyes of the doctors from Chengdu Provincial Hospital, it was not a big deal.
Make a call and ask the doctors from the relevant departments to come down and work.
For an injury like Feng Xuhui's, the Trauma Department or the Orthopedics Department could handle it. There was no fixed boundary. If it were a smaller hospital, the surgery department would not have enough subdivisions, and even the general surgery department would handle it.
As for the other patients with severe pelvic fractures, they could not be admitted to the hospital. Moreover, they more or less had other fractures on their bodies, so they simply asked the orthopedics department to come down and take them back.
The Orthopedics Department was also full, but it could not be helped. Now, other than the Internal Medicine Department, almost all the surgeries were full.
The orthopedic doctor was wearing an isolation suit and came down with sleepy eyes.
It was obvious that he had just finished performing surgery on the operating table and was taking a nap in the on-call room. Before he woke up, he was called to come down.
"What patient? Where did he come from?"
"From Pengxi Village."
When he heard that they were from Pengxi Village, he was relieved.
Most of them were postoperative patients with pelvic fractures. It was enough to send them to the ward for blood transfusion and fluid replacement treatment. Even if there were complications, they would not appear within a few hours.
"Oh, then I can still sleep for a while," the orthopedic doctor nagged. "I've been working for nearly 72 hours. As soon as I fell asleep, I was woken up again. Time is of the essence. I should be able to connect the dream when I return. "
"I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep." The doctor from the Emergency Department pointed at Feng Xuhui and said, "He's injured by a steel bar. We need to operate on him as soon as possible."
"This young man …" The orthopedic surgeon immediately perked up. He completed the handover and brought Feng Xuhui back to the department.
Orthopedic patients would stay in their own wards before the surgery. Postoperative patients with pelvic fractures were arranged to departments with beds such as internal medicine.
In short, everything was working for the wounded who were transported from the front line.
The old diagnosis and treatment procedures in the hospital had been completely broken, and the number of patients who came to see the doctor was also very few. If they could endure it, they would stay at home and not go to the hospital to cause trouble.
The orthopedic doctor called and asked when the operating theater would be free.
Within a short period of time, all the operating rooms in the operating theater were occupied. They could only wait for a while longer.
Although Feng Xuhui's major arteries were not damaged, the smaller arteries, capillaries, and muscle tissues were not sure of the severity of the injury. The surgery could be major or minor, so it was best to go to the operating theater for appropriate treatment.
Since there was no time to sleep, he might as well check on the patients. The orthopedic doctor had just stood up when he saw a white-haired old doctor appear at the entrance of the ward area.
"Chief Chen, why are you here?" The orthopedic doctor recognized him. He was the retired chief of the radiology department of Chengdu Provincial Hospital.
"I'll take a look around and see if there's anything I can do to help." Chief Chen was already in his seventies and was in high spirits.
Although he looked energetic, the orthopedic surgeon knew that the old man could not go without sleep for a few days.
Besides, doctors from the Radiology Department had to wear lead aprons when performing interventional surgery. The old man might not even be able to complete one surgery.
"Old Director, please sit, please sit."
"No, I'm just here to see how many patients with pelvic fractures need interventional embolization. After we finish the surgery and recuperate, you can go up. "
"Yes, yes. There are still 12 patients waiting to be operated on. It's fine. "
The old chief brought the orthopedic surgeon to check on the 12 preoperative patients. Feng Xuhui was also arranged for a hospital bed to wait for the surgery.
"Why are there so few patients who need to stop the bleeding? I heard from the people in front that there are many similar patients. "
"Didn't a few interventional doctors parachute into Pengxi Village Hospital? They performed the surgery in front and transported back dozens of postoperative patients."
"Only Pengxi Village Hospital?" Chief Chen asked, but then he realized the problem. "That's not right. I went to Pengxi Village Hospital once last year. They can only perform circulatory interventional surgery. There are two machines, but they're not convenient for pelvic fracture interventional hemostasis. What did you say just now? How many postoperative patients were transported back? "
The orthopedic surgeon hesitated for a moment. He had been at the operating table the whole time, so he did not know much about the situation below.
Seeing that the old chief's expression began to change as if he was about to curse, he immediately looked for the matron.
"Today, six patients with pelvic fractures were transported back after interventional embolization. Their conditions are very stable. Most of the patients' blood pressure has returned to normal." The matron had been below the operating table the whole time and knew more about the situation.
"Six patients with pelvic fractures after surgery? That's impossible! " Chief Chen frowned and said seriously, "Take me to take a look. If you don't do this, you don't know how difficult it is to perform interventional surgery for severe pelvic fractures. I performed the first interventional surgery for severe pelvic fractures in our hospital 15 years ago. Do you know how long it took? Five hours! "
As Chief Chen spoke, he stretched out his fingers. His five fingers were shining.
"There are many critical patients now, but we can't be careless. We don't know the situation in front of us, but we can't just listen to the wind. It's all human lives! "
The orthopedic surgeon nodded repeatedly and complained in his heart.
However, he did not dare to say anything. This group of old chief physicians had bad tempers, so he could only go along with what he said.
Moreover, Chief Chen was right. The more it was like this, the more careful they had to be.
The matron respectfully led the two of them to the ward. The doctors were all performing the surgery above, so she was fully in charge of the rest.
There were three beds in a ward, three patients, and three volunteers to accompany them.
"Chief Chen, there are three patients here who have undergone interventional surgery. One of them has just been done by our hospital, and his blood pressure has not fully recovered yet. The other two were transferred from Pengxi Village. Their hemorrhagic shock has been corrected, and the ionic disorder is very light. One of them has a femoral shaft fracture. It's closed. We're considering waiting for surgery at a later date. "
Although Chief Chen did not believe it, the patient's radiographic films and the brief introduction of Pengxi Village's condition were very clear. The more he read, the more confused he became.
Logically speaking, they were all patients with severe pelvic fractures. The retroperitoneal hematoma could be seen clearly. However, the number of patients after the surgery was too many …
Could it be that Pengxi Village had new equipment? Then, Huaxi would transfer people from all over the country to perform the surgery? Otherwise, it would be impossible for six patients after interventional surgery to be transferred in a day.
Before he could finish reading, the orthopedic doctor's phone rang. There was finally an empty operating theater on it.
He quickly said something and brought Feng Xuhui to the operating theater.
After that, he was accompanied by the matron and watched all the way.
Almost all the patients with pelvic fractures who had undergone interventional surgery had escaped from the state of hemorrhagic shock. Those with simple conditions had already woken up and could say a few words.
Strange … Chief Chen was puzzled. He put his hands behind his back and staggered out of the ward.
