Chapter 311: Sword with Hero
At present, there is no obvious effective proactive measure in the treatment of Ebola fever in the medical community, mainly some passive, targeted support and symptomatic treatment, including attention to water and electrolyte balance, control of bleeding, dialysis treatment in case of kidney failure, etc.
The infected person who was sent to the First People's Hospital of Jianghai City had already developed symptoms such as vomiting and coughing up blood, and was a little dehydrated.
In response to this situation, the attending doctor of the hospital's infectious disease department has injected him with antibiotics, chloral and vitamins, and intravenous electrolytes to treat his dehydration symptoms in accordance with international practice.
However, although these passive treatments have slightly alleviated the patient's condition, they only delay the speed of the onset of the disease and the time of final death, and have no effect on the radical cure.
As the patient's condition deteriorates, inside his body, the heart will begin to bleed and seep into the surrounding cavities.
This is followed by an enlargement, dehiscence, and then suppuration and decay.
At the same time, it will be accompanied by kidney failure, stuffed with dead cells and blood clots. Dead, clotted blood cells will abound in its body. Including the brain, due to the obstruction of oxygen supply, eventually leads to dementia and severe seizures. At the same time, the virus destroys the clotting capacity of the remaining blood, so that the massive bleeding continues uninhibited.
It can be said that as the outbreak of the virus in his body escalates, the patient's condition will get worse and worse, and in the end, he will simply be powerless.
As for the spread of the virus, the medical community has not yet found an effective method. Even an antiviral vaccine has not yet been developed.
It is precisely for this reason that the mortality rate of Ebola fever has remained high, which is a worldwide problem that plagues the medical community.
Together with the head nurse Liang Yan, Liu Yuyan and several other senior nurses who were also selected, they came to the isolation intensive care unit of the infectious disease department, and after learning about the patient's situation and the limited passive treatment measures taken by the hospital for the patient, Zhou Xiaoya's mood was extremely heavy.
The medical support team from the province consists of a total of eight people, including six experts and professors in addition to two officials from the provincial department.
The two officials of the provincial department are a young man in his thirties and a man in his forties, and it is said that the younger man in his thirties is the deputy director of the provincial health department, surnamed Ding, who is at the same level as Deputy Director Chen, who Zhou Xiaoya is familiar with, but is several years younger than him, and not much older than Zhou Xiaoya.
At this age, he climbed to the position of deputy director of the Provincial Department of Health, which is really commendable, and it is estimated that the background of the family is quite extraordinary, just looking at his high-spirited appearance, most of them are because he is proud of his career, and he can faintly see a sense of sharpness.
Originally, Zhou Xiaoya thought that this time it would be an old acquaintance, Deputy Director Chen, who would lead the team over, but he didn't expect that the biggest official sent by the provincial department was this young deputy director of the same level but with a completely different momentum.
As for the other six experts and professors, five of them are over sixty years old, and their names Zhou Xiaoya have heard of before, and they are indeed Taishan Beidou-level figures in the medical community of Jiangnan Province, and all of them are respected.
However, the last one is also a young man, and what is too much is that he is even younger than the deputy director in his early thirties, only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and three or four years older than Zhou Xiaoya.
Interestingly, this person not only has the same arrogant and arrogant demeanor as this young deputy director, but even has the same surname, and his surname is also Ding.
After learning this, Zhou Xiaoya immediately muttered in his heart, but he was afraid that most of the relationship between the two of them was a little bit of a private relationship, and it was estimated that they might be relatives.
After these experts and leaders of the provincial department came, their style was also vigorous and resolute, and there was no such thing as a meeting at all, so they immediately changed into well-protected isolation protective clothing, entered the isolation ward, and discussed on the spot while investigating and understanding the patient's situation.
Secretary Xiao of the Municipal Party Committee and Cao Lao were all accompanied inside, and several chief doctors of the Department of Infectious Diseases and the Department of Cardiothoracic Medicine naturally stayed inside because they had to report the situation to several professors and leaders.
However, Zhou Xiaoya and Cao Nan, as well as the head nurse Liang Yan and several other people who volunteered to participate in the nursing work, were all blasted out as idlers, and at this moment, they were standing aside and looking inside through a heavy glass in the isolation ward.
When the personnel entered and exited and opened the door, several people clearly heard the young deputy director Ding call another young man who was also surnamed Ding, but belonged to the same expert and professor figure as "Ding Divine Doctor", and this person also had a calm face, as if he was very useful and at ease with this title.
Talking about this, Liang Yan and Liu Yuyan, who were peeking in from the glass outside the ward, were a little angry.
Obviously, as soon as the "Divine Doctor Ding" inside came, he drove out our "Divine Doctor Zhou" as an idle person, and no one would be happy about this matter.
However, Zhou Xiaoya himself didn't care about this, and after being blasted out, he was standing aside with a frown, stroking his chin and pondering the patient's situation.
Shicai took a closer look inside, and the vitality in the patient's body was continuing to decline, and the person was gradually losing consciousness due to continuous fever, vomiting, and bleeding from the corners of the eyes, and it was already obvious that he was about to fall into a coma.
The situation is extremely dangerous.
Although the "consciousness of survival" may sound a bit mysterious, in fact, those who have practiced medicine for many years will understand that it is indeed real.
If one of the two patients with the same symptoms has a strong sense of survival and actively cooperates with the treatment, while the other person is blindly negative and has no hope for life, in this case, most of the patients who will be cured in the end are the patient in front of them.
Ebola virus is a very ferocious virus, for the body's immune system, the destruction of body functions is extremely terrifying, if the patient falls into a coma, the immune system's self-healing ability declines, and the subjective lack of survival consciousness is afraid that the deterioration of the disease will be significantly aggravated later.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaoya feels that in the current situation where there is no effective targeted treatment for the time being, in addition to passive intravenous injection to ensure that the patient is not dehydrated, some measures should also be taken to maintain the patient's mental clarity and try not to let him fall into a coma.
Only in this way can the patient always keep his mind clear and in the best state of mind. Only when the patient is mentally proactive and always maintains a strong sense of survival, can the body's immune system play its due role normally or even abnormally.
This kind of thing is not unprecedented, and many so-called medical miracles are created because of the patient's strong sense of survival.
For this, Zhou Xiaoya's plan is to carry out acupuncture therapy on the patient.
Acupuncture stimulates the patient's body, stimulates his body's self-potential, keeps him awake and stimulates the immune system.
Real acupuncture, when used in the hands of a master, has this effect.
And Zhou Xiaoya's "Xuanyuan Acupoint" is not to mention, this is a set of magical needle methods inherited from the fairy sword world, and the extreme book used is not the inner family true qi necessary for the "inner family needle method", but the spiritual power of heaven and earth accumulated in Zhou Xiaoya's body.
It is precisely because of the storage of the spiritual power injected into the body of the golden needle needle that some of the illnesses in the body of the recipient will be quietly dissipated like being blown by the spring breeze and snow!
Although he was not sure if he could kill the stubborn Ebola virus in his body, it was still no problem to keep the patient sane and stimulate his body's immunity.
While pondering these questions, Zhou Xiaoya had already taken out the set of golden needles obtained from Old Man Du. This box of gold needles is good, the antiquities left over from the Song Dynasty are considered a treasure, compared to the silver needles circulating on the market, I don't know how much stronger.
The gold needles in this box are a set of five inches for the elderly, and only more than one inch for the short, ranging from long to short, a total of nine pieces.
At this moment, after Zhou Xiaoya opened the lid of the box, his fingers swiped over the nine golden needles, his expression was focused, thinking about the acupuncture points of the needles for a while, and pondering the length of the golden needles.
At this moment, the door of the isolation ward was pushed open, and a group of experts and professors walked out of it while chatting with the leaders.
One of them looked up and inadvertently saw the box of gold needles in Zhou Xiaoya's hand.
"Huh, isn't this Du Lao's cotton nine needles?"
His face was obviously stunned for a moment, and the expert, who was about sixty years old, suddenly let out a startled sound, attracting everyone's attention to Zhou Xiaoya's hand.
This also includes the deputy director surnamed Ding and the so-called "Ding Divine Doctor".
"Hahaha, Lao Cao, the staff in your hospital are good......
After being stunned for a moment, the young Deputy Director Ding smiled, raised his hand and patted Cao Lao's shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Here Doctor Ding just said that he wants to use acupuncture therapy to stimulate the immune function in the patient's body, so that he can keep his mind clear and actively cooperate with the treatment, you immediately got the golden needle, and listen to Qiu Lao's meaning, this box of golden needles seems to be not simple, not bad......"
As soon as the words fell, the startled Qiu surnamed expert immediately took over the conversation: "That's right, this is the family heirloom of the Du family in Hangzhou, and the Du family is also an old family of traditional Chinese medicine...... Alas, it's a pity that the ninth needle was lost many years ago, otherwise, with the needle of the gods and ghosts, even white bones can immediately produce raw meat!"
"It's a pity that this kind of gold needle is not as good as the ordinary silver needle, especially the cotton nine needles, it is also known as the inner family needle, when the needle is applied, it is necessary to use the inner family true qi of the inner family from the penance, the Du family except for the old man Du, it is said that no one can use it among the younger generations, no wonder the golden needle will be passed out!"
"Tut-tut, it's just right today, except for Doctor Ding, this kind of inner golden needle, it is estimated that no one can use it in this Jianghai City People's Hospital, Lao Cao, the sword is matched with a hero, and Doctor Ding will help you cure the patient in a while, if this box of golden needles is given to others, no one can use it in your hospital......"
