020. an oxygen tank

But where do oxygen tanks come from?

I called the logistics department, but there was a shortage of manpower, so I had to let the nurse carry it herself.

Today, the ICU ward is facing an unprecedented predicament, oxygen is life, but all the staff in the entire hospital are busy, Meng Tiantian listened to Jiang Wei's words, looked at the patient he was responsible for and was not in critical condition, and immediately decided, "I'll help move the oxygen tank, not just five floors!"

"Five-story building? That's a sixty-pound oxygen tank, you're less than a hundred pounds, right? If not, contact the hospital if there is a middle-aged guy, these logistics are too unreliable, this kind of emergency moment drops the chain!" Chen Liang on the hospital bed frowned, worried that Meng Tiantian would not be able to move.

Meng Tiantian took a deep breath, "Don't look at me thin, I still have muscles, it's a special period!"

Jiang Wei also sighed when he heard this, but now that the situation is urgent, these doctors can't leave, so they can only go first.

"I'll contact a few more nurses in the general ward to help, thank you for your hard work!"

Meng Tiantian nodded, and rushed to the place where the medical equipment was placed on the first floor according to the place mentioned on the phone, where a few little nurses had gathered, and although they were wearing heavy protective clothing, their figures still looked thin and tired.

"Sister Tiantian, are you here too?" Wang Mengxue called out in surprise, not only her, but also Zhou Yang and Li Jing in the group, they didn't care about greeting, so they were busy carrying the oxygen tank.

"Let's carry one upstairs in twos, otherwise one is too heavy, and we won't be able to move it ourselves." Meng Tiantian immediately walked over and tried to shake a heavy oxygen tank, this big iron lump was simply unbearable in his hands, and Meng Tiantian couldn't help but stumble in his footsteps.

"Okay, let's carry one up quickly, I heard that your ICU ward has to be used in a hurry!" Wang Mengxue grabbed the other side of the oxygen tank, and the two of them shouted "one, two, three", and immediately accelerated their pace to go upstairs after lifting an oxygen tank.

The other nurses followed two by two carrying an oxygen tank upstairs.

For a few days, they were struggling to adapt to the heavy and airtight protective clothing, but now they still feel sweaty when they go upstairs doing this kind of heavy physical work.

"I hate it...... Why didn't you eat more before!" When she got to the third floor, Zhou Yang was a little tired and couldn't hold on, although she cut her hair short and looked like a tomboy, but after all, she was still a girl, and her arms in her sleeves were slender, so her strength naturally couldn't keep up.

At the staircase on the third floor, they temporarily lowered the oxygen tank, and together they tossed and dragged the heavy oxygen tank forward for a few steps, and then lifted it up again before the next floor, and the salty sweat dripped into their mouths with the words, but they couldn't rest and couldn't wipe their sweat.

"Eat more when you go back!" Meng Tiantian was also so tired that he was sweating like rain, but he couldn't give up easily, all the medical staff in the hospital were busy during the special period, and they couldn't drop the chain.

"Okay! Let's continue!one, two, three...... Up!"

Zhou Yang shouted, and Li Jing and Li Jing lifted the oxygen tank together, and they could still toss and turn on the ground, but they could only go up the stairs one step at a time.

The oxygen tank was indescribably heavy in his hands, and it was like rain in the protective suit today, Meng Tiantian and Wang Mengxue gritted their teeth to carry the oxygen tank.

Finally moved up to the fifth floor to the ICU ward, Jiang Wei watched the two of them swaying, and hurriedly took over the oxygen tank without saying much, and the heavy oxygen tank couldn't help but shake twice even if it was carried by a man, and he dragged the oxygen tank quickly to the patient who was in condition because of the oxygen problem in bed No. 6.

"Oxygen saturation is now less than 60!" the nurse reported nervously.

Meng Tiantian and Wang Mengxue climbed the stairs carrying the oxygen tank, they were really tired and a little prostrated at this time, breathing heavily like a cow, so they temporarily leaned on each other and stood to rest for a while.

Watching Jiang Wei methodically connect the high-flow machine to the oxygen tank and adjust the parameters, soon the patient's breathlessness improved, and the blood oxygen stabilized between 80%-90%.

"I'm so nervous in the ICU!" Wang Mengxue whispered, and several other groups of nurses carrying oxygen tanks also rushed to the ward, and they were also out of breath after putting down the oxygen tanks and couldn't straighten their waists.

"You guys rest for a while, don't rush to go down again, or we'll be tired and lack oxygen ourselves." Meng Tiantian straightened up and said to the other nurses, and after a few minutes of relief, she felt much better.

After she finished speaking, she and Wang Mengxue helped each other and continued to go downstairs, these tanks of oxygen are far from enough, the oxygen in the oxygen tanks is consumed quickly, and if there are other patients at the same time, it is likely that they will not be able to wait for them to go downstairs to carry them.

"Xiaoxue, is it the third day of your period today?

"It's okay, just go up and down the stairs! I don't have any problems except that the first day of my period is particularly painful, but I use diapers instead of sanitary napkins for these two days, and I can't change them all day, it's so uncomfortable!"

Wang Mengxue sighed, but the footsteps didn't stop, when they went downstairs, the two of them were soft, Meng Tiantian saw that Wang Mengxue insisted, and didn't say anything more, and it would be almost the same to carry it later.

At the same time, Hu Yang, together with Zhang Yue, another nurse in the ICU ward, followed the telephone guidance to find the equipment to repair the oxygen valve in the dark corridor.

"I can't fix it, I can only help you, it's pitch black, I'll help with tools and flashlights later!" Zhang Yue touched the corridor and walked forward with Hu Yang.

Hu Yang gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, I've seen others repair it before, you can try it!"

The two of them quickly found the oxygen main valve, and Hu Yang's hands trembled slightly, she was covered in sweat, and her gloves were also full of sweat.

With the help of the light of the flashlight, it was not very clear to see things through the goggles, but Hu Yang still had the courage to grope for the adjustment of the total flow, and as time went by, the alarm continued to sound, and Hu Yang tried to stabilize his trembling hands and continue to adjust.

After countless attempts, the danger was finally ruled out.

"Alright!" poplar's voice trembled slightly, but there was a kind of happiness and relief.

Zhang Yue next to him also breathed a long sigh of relief, "You are really amazing, I haven't done this, if I come, I will definitely be afraid of accidents." ”

Hu Yang smiled reluctantly, "What's amazing, I also crossed the river by feeling the stones, but fortunately I succeeded! Which of the medical staff in our ward is not amazing!"

After repairing the oxygen main valve, the two quickly returned to the ward, and at this time, Meng Tiantian had just put down the second tank of oxygen that had been brought up, and stood beside the bed with his waist up.

Hu Yang looked at the oxygen tank in the ward, and her heart was relieved, fortunately, there were no accidents in the ward during this time, and she also felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

"We nurses, who can be repairmen and porters, are simply omnipotent. Jiang Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly in the ward with a smile.

"That's it, women don't let me have eyebrows! Which of the nurses who can come here is not a woman, she can do anything, but don't underestimate us nurses!" Zhang Yue also smiled.

"How can you underestimate your nurses, it's too late to admire!" Chen Liang on the hospital bed also said with a smile.

The atmosphere in the ward is finally a little more relaxed, and when there is a situation, there is no critical patient who causes other critical conditions due to lack of oxygen, which is inseparable from the efforts of every medical staff.

The tired day finally passed, and when they returned to the hotel in the evening, Meng Tiantian and Wang Mengxue both collapsed on the bed after eating.

"Sister Tiantian, I feel like I'm really getting better and better, I kept crying a few days ago and felt that I couldn't do this or that, but now I suddenly feel like I can do anything, am I floating?"

"It's not that you're floating, it's that you're really special, you're really good, you have to be confident...... Look, someone in the group posted a picture of us moving oxygen tanks today, and we both got photographed!"

Meng Tiantian responded to Wang Mengxue while looking at his mobile phone, and suddenly laughed when he read the news in the group.

Click on the picture, the two are wearing heavy protective clothing, and through the goggles, you can see that the facial features of the two are wrinkled together and struggling, and she carries the oxygen tank up the stairs, bending her waist like a tight bow.

"I'm going to send this picture to my grandma, so that she can see how good I am, and I'm going to post it on Weibo on Moments...... Why are we so powerful!" Wang Mengxue smirked and began to save the picture.

Meng Tiantian shook his sore arm twice, and also smiled and saved the picture and posted it to a circle of friends, with the text, "I want to see who still says I'm too thin to twist the bottle cap!"

Dozens of messages were received in the circle of friends for a while, and her husband Sun Han also sent a WeChat message, "I will do all the heavy work at home in the future!"

Meng Tiantian's heart was warm, and she and Wang Mengxue both began to make video calls with their families.

After a while, the head nurse, Hu Yang, brought them a white medicine band-aid and a new erythromycin ointment.

"Applying the medicine at night and putting on a band-aid during the day, it's a little stuffy, but the face will not be worn out and festered anymore, and the methods that other nurses in the hospital think of are always useful. ”

Wang Mengxue hurriedly thanked the head nurse, "I'll use it tomorrow, just to solve the urgent need, why didn't we think of this method two days ago! ”

The head nurse gently patted her shoulder twice, with a smile on her face, and praised Wang Mengxue, "The performance has been very good in the past two days, continue to work hard, and tell me in time if there is any situation!"

Wang Mengxue was praised by the head nurse personally, she couldn't help herself with happiness, and she continued to call her grandmother after the head nurse left.

“...... yes, yes, I just came to praise me, so I'm getting better and better......"

"Grandma, why do I hear that you seem to have a little cough? It's still cold, so you should wear thicker clothes and don't catch a cold...... Mmmmmm, I'll definitely take care of myself!"

Meng Tiantian lay on the bed and chatted with his family for a few words, and fell asleep again unconsciously.

The next day, he entered the ward, and continued to fight after a quick handover with Xu Ting, the situation in the ICU was very tense every day, and although Dr. Chen Liang was optimistic, his face became a little haggard under the torture of his condition.

"I thought I was optimistic that this would not happen when I knew that patients would be anxious due to long-term hypoxia, but I didn't expect that after feeling it firsthand, I found that it was not much better. Chen Liang lay on the hospital bed and sighed.

Meng Tiantian helped him change a bottle of nutrient solution, saw that he was a little irritable, and comforted: "You are already very good, but today I see that your blood oxygen saturation is a little low, do you feel hypoxic?"
