Chapter 150: Liu Tangchun's Mistake (August 6, 2/2 More Subscription)
Early the next morning, the convoy arrived safely at the site where the landing site was scheduled to be established. After an all-night drive, most people are so tired that they just want to sleep.
But the task must be completed as soon as possible. Otherwise, the convoy and the medical team will have to spend another night in the danger zone. At the same time, the flight plan of the aircraft of the Navy has already been determined. If the landing area is delayed because you need to sleep, then the trouble behind it can be big.
"Comrades, the time has come to test your will!" said Comrade Colonel, cheering up the engineers of the peacekeeping force before the start of work, "I know that you are all tired, and I also know that you all need to rest. But we still have a duty to do!" he pointed to the medical team behind him and said loudly, "Comrades, work hard to get the doctors from China on the plane safely, and we can go back to the camp!"
Most of the doctors had already rested on the road—if only for a moment between vomiting sessions, compared to the sleepless warriors. They were gathered together by Liu Tangchun, and then entered the temporary bunker dug by the engineers in advance to continue to rest.
Liu Tangchun had just led people into the bunker and was about to find a place to rest for a while, when he heard a commotion from the engineering camp. Then two soldiers ran towards the doctors with another soldier on their shoulders with nervous faces.
"What's wrong?" Liu Tangchun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and at the same time began to observe the situation of the soldier who was being carried - there was a noticeable scorched black patch on his right hand. "Burns?"
"Electrocuted!" said the smaller of the two soldiers, "one of the cables was worn out of the insulation as the equipment was deployed......
Liu Tangchun commanded the two of them to put the wounded on the ground, and then shouted towards the cover, "Lao Chen, Li Rong, Lien, Xiao Hu, come over here and bring the medicine box!" Then he crawled directly to the ground and began to listen to the wounded's heart directly with his own ears.
Electrocution burns are a variant of burns. Unlike traditional burns, they may not appear to be large and cause much less damage than regular burns. But the electric current travels through the body in the direction of least resistance and causes severe burns to the tissues it passes through – it causes burns that are much, much more severe than they seem.
This is also the reason why Liu Tangchun called the four people in one breath - Chen Tianyang, a surgical expert, is responsible for checking and determining whether emergency surgery is needed, and Li Rong, an anesthesiologist, is responsible for assessing and stabilizing the patient's vital signs. Sun Lien has experience in dealing with patients with severe burns, while Hu Jia is the most skilled nurse on the team. If emergency treatment of a patient is required in such a "field environment", then these four people are the skeleton of the entire surgical treatment.
Sun Lien ran to Liu Tangchun's side with the medicine box, and without saying a word, he pulled out the stethoscope and scissors and handed them to Liu Tangchun, and asked in a low voice, "Is it an electric injury?"
"It seems so. Liu Tangchun nodded, and he used scissors to directly cut the soldier's upper clothes. Completely exposed his upper body.
Judging by the scorched marks on the surface of the skin, the current should have entered from his right hand and then passed through his right shoulder. Fortunately, the area through which the current flows is not too large, and it should not pass directly through vital organs such as the heart and lungs.
Sun Lien looked at the young soldier with his eyes closed, thinking about how to explain the situation to Liu Tangchun.
Lin Weijie, male, 21 years old. Third-degree burns of the upper limb (00.02.54), electrical injury (00.02.54), rotator cuff tear (00.02.47), right limb mobility impairment (00.02.44), increased muscle tone of the right limb (00.02.31), epileptiform symptoms (00.00.01)"
Lin Weijie's right limb suddenly twitched. The movement on the arm was relatively small, but the leg was obviously kicked out about twenty centimeters, which happened to kick Liu Tangchun's calf.
Liu Tangchun was shaken by this kick, and the whole person almost fell to the ground. He thought that the little soldier had woken up, so he quickly knelt on the ground and patted the other party's shoulder, "Comrade, comrade, wake up!"
Liu Tangchun tried several times, but Lin Weijie still lay on the ground and did not respond. The limb twitches twice occasionally, and the trismus is closed.
Hu Jia asked the two soldiers who sent Lin Weijie for treatment next to him, and both of them insisted that Lin Weijie definitely did not have epilepsy problems in the past.
"It could be that the shock was having an effect on his nerves. Sun Lien squatted on the ground very unimaged, rummaging in the medicine box for the treatment drugs he needed, and at the same time asking Liu Tangchun's opinion, "Intubate the urinary catheter, give him 10mg of diazepam first?"
Liu Tangchun nodded and agreed to this plan, and at the same time instructed, "Start rehydration immediately, and the total amount should be 1500ml first." ”
Chen Tianyang discussed with Li Rong and believed that there was no need to start emergency surgery immediately, "The helicopter will arrive in eight hours, so it is safer for him to get on the plane with us and receive treatment on the more well-equipped Daishan Island." ”
The preset landing area was more than 100 kilometers away from the camp of the peacekeeping troops, and it was obviously too late to evacuate by car. The difference between the results of a helicopter evacuation and a direct delivery to the Daishan Island – the level of medical equipment and doctors on the Daishan Island is certainly higher than that of the second-level peacekeeping hospital in the camp.
"What about rehydration, why haven't you done it yet?" Liu Tangchun confirmed that Lin Weijie's heart rate was normal, but he was a little anxious after his blood pressure was slightly high—Sun Lien hadn't started to rehydrate the patient so far. Is this kid usually engaged in rare diseases, and even forgot how to deal with burns?
"Director Liu......" Sun Lien was a little panicked, he opened the third medicine box, "There are only conventional drugs in the medicine box, and there is no normal saline!"
"What kind of fart are you putting ......" Liu Tangchun suddenly became angry, what are you kidding, when the medical team evacuated, they gave up a lot of personal luggage, just to carry some medical supplies that will be used on the road as much as possible...... Suddenly, he froze in place. Among the three medicine boxes opened by Sun Lien, there were two identical large medical boxes, which contained commonly used surgical instruments, and Liu Tangchun clearly remembered that he had told the doctor at the peacekeeping hospital who was sorting out the supplementary medicines that the surgical instruments were too heavy, and it was enough to bring one box. The other box can be used to specialize in solutions such as saline.
And the large box ...... The medical team took two of them.
"Go and ask the health officer in the army, they should have a belt. Liu Tangchun couldn't figure out if there was a mistake in the loading process, or if something went wrong with the peacekeeping hospital - he didn't open every box to check the contents before loading, which was his own mistake. "Lien, your legs and feet are relatively fast, you go for a run. Remember, go and come back!"
