Chapter 402: Acute Radiation Sickness [Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription]

The night was dark, the lights were bright, and the rumbling sound of cars resounded in this sparsely populated land.

The people of Ma'erwan District have been safely evacuated, there are no more residents and animals in the "quarantine circle", and the plants here will become a thing of the past. Even in towns and cities in Mobei, trees are rare in many places, but it is precisely because of this that every tree here is precious.

Tree cutters, excavators, bulldozers and other large vehicles participating in the "Isolation Circle Project" are driving to the tree spots in the circle.

Mobei Command Center, the commander-in-chief of the operation, Zhou Dajun, has a calm middle-aged face, he is a native of Mobei, and he has watched the environment here get better and better over the years...... "Do it!" As soon as Zhou Dajun gave the order, the big cars in different places drove towards the trees with spring leaves.

The creaking saw, the clanging of bells......

One by one, the trees fell and were carried away by trucks, leaving not a single sapling behind.

At the same time, raging fires are burning everywhere, burning the weeds on the ground, burning the original color of spring, and burning all life.

In the darkness of the night, it all turned into smoke and ashes.

The Ring of Separation, the Death Zone, gradually and rapidly appeared, encircling 30 square kilometers of the anomalous area.

……

In the Medical Department of Mobei Tianji Bureau, two surgeries are being prepared in the surgical building.

The two patients, elderly Tian Fuhou and police officer Bian Yi, both underwent amputation of their right upper arm.

They had all reached into the locust tree and suffered minor burns from the elbow down, which were the result of intense exposure to nuclear radiation.

For absorbed radiation in the human body, 1Gy is approximately equal to 1 Sv, and Sv (sievert) is a dose equivalent unit that is the product of the absorbed dose, quality factors, and all other modifiers at a point in the tissue under study.

The dose equivalent of the two people was about 6.2Sv and 4.5Sv respectively, but the maximum absorption of the right hand reached 1723Sv and 1871Sv respectively.

There were two other patients, Zhang Maidong and Ma Zhenxing, with a systemic dose equivalent of about 5.6Sv and 4.2Sv.

On the day of the incident, the symptoms of acute radiation sickness in all four people were aggravating, with frequent vomiting, dizziness and headaches. After the determination was indeed radiation sickness, the medical team gave sedation, desensitization, antiemetic and anti-radiation drugs. The situation of Zhang Maidong and Ma Zhenxing can be regarded as temporarily controlled.

But Tian Fuhou and Bian Yi, since noon, they have felt severe pain in the skin of the burned area of their right hand.

1723Sv and 1871Sv were there, and the disease progressed very rapidly. The burned skin first became more red and swollen, then the ulcers became rotten, then the blood vessels inside ruptured and bleed, the tissues collapsed, the damaged cells were broken down, and the whole hand was no longer human-shaped.

Tian Fuhou rolled in pain, how many hardships he had faced in this life, even those days when he was not full of food and clothing, the old man never cried.

But now, the old man was crying and wailing, but only because of the great pain in his body.

The 79-year-old man is also in danger of cerebral hemorrhage and cardiopulmonary failure due to such severe pain. The medical team immediately injected the elderly with a sufficient amount of morphine, but this had little effect on the pain caused by nuclear radiation, and there was no specific drug for radiation sickness.

Officer Bian Yi's situation was not much better, or even worse, because his dose equivalent was even greater.

The cries of pain also continued to resound in the nuclear radiation isolation ward where he lived, like the cries of the tortured people in hell.

The condition deteriorated rapidly to the point where it was impossible to avoid amputation, the patient could not bear the excruciating pain, and the radioactive material spread in the body.

If there were not some issues to clarify, at least there was more data to support them, and the two surgeries were performed during the day. The main question is, is the nuclear radiation in the anomalous area just nuclear radiation? Is this radiation sickness? Can I do anesthesia during surgery? Can you even have surgery?

The surgical building was busy, and the medical team sent by the Spell Department arrived in the afternoon, including Wang Ruoxiang and Cai Zixuan.

The two of them will each participate in an operation and serve as three assistants.

Faced with such a state of affairs, they naturally thought of Gu Jun, but at this time, in the preoperative meeting in the conference room, they and the others were very focused.

The white coats of the two surgeries were concentrated in the conference room, and there were many experts and professors for consultation.

"For now," a middle-aged and elderly man with a generous face stood in front of the conference screen and said to everyone that this was Professor Zhang Bohai.

Professor Zhang is the Director of the First Clinical Department of the National Emergency Response Center for Nuclear Accidents, and has a series of titles such as the Institute of Radiation Medicine and the Society for Radiation Protection. This authoritative bull will lead the general medical staff to cooperate with the medical work of the Tianji Bureau in response to this incident, such as health prevention and control, nuclear and radiation emergency treatment, etc.

"The symptoms of both patients were no different from those of ordinary acute radiation injury, and there was no paranormal abnormality in the indicators. We thought the surgery could be performed as a regular procedure, under general anesthesia. "The sooner the surgery is performed, the better." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, if there was no anesthesia, Mr. Tian Fuhou might not be able to hold on, even if he was stubborn, his blood pressure could not bear it.

Wang Ruoxiang also nodded slightly, this was the first time she had gone on a mission since returning to the spell department.

But I didn't expect that it would be such a serious disaster.

One of the difficulties of both operations is that the doctors and nurses have to wear bulky nuclear radiation protective suits.

But this problem is not in Professor Zhang's consideration, he does not know how to operate, Yang Rongzhong and Tan Bo, who are in charge of the surgery, are the aces of orthopedics of the Mobei Medical Department, plus the personnel transferred by the Spell Department, everyone is ready to deal with the abnormal conditions that may occur during the operation.

After deciding to perform the surgery as usual, the two surgeons decided on a surgical plan with their own teams.

After the meeting, all the white coats got up and went to the operating room.

"Ugh." Cai Zixuan lagged behind, still looking at the lesion pictures of the patient's sick hand on the conference screen, and sighed.

The right hand of the old man Tian Fuhou, which is also the hand that is about to be amputated, planted hundreds of acres of wasteland trees.

"Zixuan, don't be nervous." Wang Ruoxiang patted her old classmate's shoulder, "Anyway, there is no radiation, your hair is gone." ”

In the past two years, she has also changed a lot, the only thing that has not changed is her hair.

"That's just as well." Cai Zixuan touched his bald head with a smile, knowing that the squad leader was kind enough to mediate the atmosphere.

As the two spoke, they chased after the crowd outside the conference room, it was the middle of the morning, but they still had two fights in the operating room.
