Chapter 121: Inflammatory Factors
Several of Zhao Guang's classmates were waiting there at the door, and Yu Shasha and a few female classmates were in tears.
Before this, Yu Shasha always talked back to Zhao Guang, she couldn't get used to seeing Zhao Guang as stupid as wood, and often laughed at him. But this time Zhao Guang fell ill and contracted the new crown pneumonia, and then Yu Shasha's attitude reversed and she had great sympathy for him. Not only did he no longer say anything mocking him, but often sent WeChat or video calls to chat with him to encourage him. Now Zhao Guang's heart suddenly stopped, and Yu Shasha couldn't help crying.
Dai Yunyang said urgently: "What's the matter?"
Yu Shasha said: "Just now he suddenly called me and said that he was very uncomfortable, his hands and feet were numb, and he had already called the nurse. As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly ran to the isolation ward to see what was going on. As soon as I arrived at the door of the ward, I saw that he was pushed out of the bed with a push bed, and the ECG waves on the mobile ECG monitor had become a straight line. There is no emergency room for mild case monitoring, and it must be sent to the emergency center to rescue, and a doctor is still doing heart compressions on him, so I hurriedly followed here, and I called the head nurse upstairs. A few of our classmates also rushed over when they got the news. ”
Dai Yunyang anxiously walked around the door, rescue was being carried out inside, and it was useless for him to go in. In his impression, Zhao Guang has always been in good health, and there should be no underlying diseases, but this time he suffered from the weird and terrible virus of new crown pneumonia, and it has developed to a serious illness. It stands to reason that he can be transferred to the intensive isolation ward, and if he can be transferred to the intensive isolation ward in time, he should be able to receive timely and effective treatment.
Mild cases are isolated from the ward to the intensive care unit, and it takes about 10 minutes to push and run with a push bed. The golden time for cardiac arrest is about five minutes, beyond which irreversible damage to the brain will occur. Even if it is rescued, it is likely to become a vegetative person, or the brain is severely damaged, and there is a high probability that it will not be saved at all.
This new coronavirus is terrible, it can not only attack people's lungs, he caused respiratory distress syndrome, but also attack people's heart, liver, kidneys, digestive system, etc., causing the failure of multiple organs in the human body.
Zhao Guang should be in a state of severe new crown pneumonia and has not been effectively treated, resulting in heart arrest, but this is only his preliminary estimate, who knows.
Dai Yunyang felt a sadness in his heart, his students were lying in the hospital but could not get effective treatment, whose fault is this, is this fate? Dai Yunyang even began to believe in fatalism.
After about half an hour, the lights in the emergency room went out, the door opened, and Zhuang Qiang, the surgeon in charge of the first aid, came out first. Seeing Dai Yunyang, he glanced at several students who were looking at him with blank eyes, shook his head, and said in frustration: "I'm sorry, I didn't save it." ”
Yu Shasha hugged several girls and cried loudly, several boys looked gloomy, and one boy said, "Can we go in and see him?" ”
"No, he's a COVID patient and the body is contagious. According to the regulations, it should be put into a body bag immediately and sent to the funeral home for cremation as soon as possible to avoid infection, sorry. ”
Dai Yunyang was extremely depressed in his heart, and said to Sasha: "Call Zhao Guang's family." ”
Yu Shasha said that she had already beaten and was on her way here, and she didn't know if she could see the last time.
Dai Yunyang didn't have time to wait here, there were still many patients waiting for him to be treated. So let Yu Shanshan see Zhao Guang's parents, express an apology for herself, and let them mourn and change.
With that, Dai Yunyang returned to the ward on the second floor, changed into an isolation gown and entered the ward.
Wu Hao and Li Yanling They knew that the result was not good when they saw his depressed look, when Dai Yunyang told them that they had not been saved, everyone felt very heavy, although he was just a medical student, and he had not officially become a member of the hospital, but after all, he was a comrade-in-arms around him, and everyone had a kind of sadness in their hearts.
At this time, the walkie-talkie rang again, but it was the doctor on duty on the third floor calling, and the entire second, third, and fourth floors of the emergency center are used as intensive isolation areas, and there are doctors and nurses in each area. However, if you need to be rescued or in an important situation, when you need to make a decision by the director, you will call for emergency through an internal video call.
So as soon as you see that it's the pager on the third floor, everyone will be very nervous, because it means that something bad may have happened. Before this, the third and fourth floors had also been called many times, and each time they were in critical condition and needed to be rescued, in this case, the director and deputy director had to be present to direct the rescue.
The pager doctor said eagerly: "The anesthesiologist in the anesthesiology department has suddenly deteriorated, and his blood oxygen saturation has dropped below seventy, director, what should I do?" ”
"We'll come up right away."
Three of the first five anesthesiologists to be deployed to the intensive care unit fell ill with the coronavirus, and one of them became seriously ill and was admitted to the intensive isolation unit.
Wu Hao took Li Yanling and called Dai Yunyang to rush up together, because it was likely that tracheal intubation would be required. Ma Feng fell ill, although there were other anesthesiologists, but Wu Hao preferred to use Dai Yunyang, who also had the best intubation skills in the entire main city hospital.
Dai Yunyang followed the two directors to the third floor, and the medical staff on the third floor were urgently rescuing the anesthesiologist.
After Wu Hao's quick examination, he said anxiously: "It's not good, it may be an inflammatory storm!" ”
The so-called inflammatory storm is the phagocytic cells produced by the body's immune system, and when the virus is found to be very powerful, the human immune system grows wildly in order to create a stronger counterattack force than the virus.
In the case of mass multiplication, immune cells will attack indiscriminately. Not only does it kill the virus, but it also attacks the normal body of the human body and floods the cells of the lungs in large quantities. A large amount of mucus is produced in the alveoli, which blocks the airway of the lungs to ventilate, making it impossible for the lungs to complete blood oxygen exchange, resulting in tissue hypoxia.
Once there is an inflammatory storm, it can quickly sweep away the patient's life like a blizzard. Many patients with severe coronavirus pneumonia are not particularly seriously ill, but this terrible inflammatory storm poses a deadly threat, which begins with an allergic reaction produced by the body's own immune system.
How to inhibit the inflammatory storm is an important part of reducing the mortality rate, the current blood lavage technology, or artificial kidney technology is an effective way to treat the inflammatory storm, it is to draw out the human blood and clean it through the machine, remove the inflammatory factors inside, and then return to the human body, so as to eliminate the terrible form of gas brought by the inflammatory storm.
Wu Hao personally directed the anesthesiologist to carry out blood conversion, eliminate inflammatory factors, and take supportive treatment at the same time.
