Chapter 417: Weaning and Extubation

Progressive respiratory failure is very torturous. Bao Changtai has almost forgotten what normal breathing should look like.

Tao Le couldn't estimate the effective time of the golden finger, and then turned off the ventilator.

Mechanically assisted ventilation is very unfriendly to people who are awake and able to breathe on their own.

A finger-thick tube that runs down the throat and into the trachea is uncomfortable enough.

Not to mention the timed ventilation.

Think about it, you just want to exhale when a puff of oxygen goes down the tube into your lungs. Before you could react, there was another wave.

Therefore, patients who are generally admitted to the ICU and have been given mechanical ventilation will generally be put to sleep with drugs.

If you don't know anything, you won't be miserable.

Bao Changtai is a very tough person, and he has been trying to adjust his breathing rhythm, trying his best to keep it in rhythm with the ventilator.

In times of respiratory distress, this effort is beneficial and effective. But as spontaneous breathing becomes more and more accessible, mechanical ventilation becomes extremely difficult.

Tao Le made such a move, and Xiao Gao, the nurse next to the bed, was immediately startled: "Doctor Tao, can you turn off the ventilator, the patient can just point to it!"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Tao Le and quickly pulled out the tracheal intubation.

"Hey, wait a minute, you can't pull it out! The patient's oxygen saturation can barely reach 80 percent with the help of a ventilator.

She subconsciously glanced at the monitoring equipment, and then was stunned: "Ninety percent, ninety-one ninety-three?" ”

Xiao Gao looked at it blankly for a while, and then felt that everything in front of her was beyond her cognition.

Bao Changtai feels very good. The feeling of suffocation in the lungs that are full of oxygen, but still not absorbed, is gone.

He never imagined that this kind of innate, ordinary little things that almost everyone could do, could bring people such a strong sense of satisfaction.

Not only that, but the unbearable feeling of dull pain in the mouth, esophagus, and stomach that is still dull even after injecting painkiller drugs has gradually disappeared.

Just a few needles, just a few minutes. There is such a noticeable change.

This Doctor Tao is not only a real learner, but also a doctor of medical skills.

In his eyes, the emotions revealed were so strong that Tao Le noticed them.

"You should be able to speak now. If there is any discomfort, just say it. ”

Bao Changtai smiled bitterly. The skin in his mouth and throat had all festered and peeled off, and he had coughed it up piece by piece for the past few days - it was impossible to speak.

But he didn't want to brush off the kindness of this Tao doctor, so he tried to open his mouth: "Thank you."

A slightly hoarse voice came out, and even Bao Changtai himself was stunned.

"Changtai, how are you, can you speak?" His wife immediately rushed to the bed, and tears fell instantly.

"I'm much better." Bao Changtai said softly: "Acupuncture is very useful. ”

"Thank you, Dr. Tao!" The wife laughed and shed tears: "Did you hear me, Lao Bao said that he was much better!" ”

"I hear you." Tao Le chuckled.

She loves to hear genuine words of gratitude from patients and families. This made her realize that everything she did was meaningful.

This is the reason why she chose this long medical path.

A pleasant prompt sound: "The treatment is complete, and the patient's health value is increased by 9 points." ”

The patient's health value has risen to 22 points, and the interface has changed from purple to dark red.

[In this treatment, a total of 9 toxins were absorbed, which were equivalent to life energy. The current Life Source Energy balance is 110512. Do you want to give back to the patient? Yes/No. 】

Tao Le lost 9 points, and then watched his health rise to 31.

Back in the past few days in Yunshi, that vase has finally turned into a transparent and crystalline appearance under the action of a certain force, and the balance of life source energy in her golden finger interface has also risen to 110,000.

Regarding this matter, neither Xi Mu, Xiao Lin, nor Xiao Qi raised any objections, as if they took out the vase just to increase the source energy of life for her.

This made her a little embarrassed. Perhaps, she shouldn't take it for granted and give them something in return?

After the acupuncture was completed, Tao Le silently pulled out the needle.

The effect of the treatment is obvious to all, and Director Xiao and Director Sun were speechless in surprise.

In the absence of a ventilator and no oxygen, the patient's oxygen saturation has reached 93%, although it is still different from ordinary people, but it is many times better than before.

Moreover, in the patient's open mouth, the previous miserable appearance has changed greatly, and a pale pink film has grown in the mouth, no wonder he can speak again.

Needless to say, the patient's wife and children thanked Tao Le without words.

The old lady just nodded politely, and didn't say anything more.

She clutched the cross and reverently recited the prayer to the Lord.

Tao Le heard it clearly, and what she said was, "Thank you, my Lord, that you have filled our hearts again with a spirit of joy. With your precious blood, you have blotted out the sins of the past and given us a new life."

In the eyes of the old lady, Tao Le was the tool person who was sent to her son by the gods and was responsible for treating him.

Even if it's not Tao Le, there will be Zhang Le, Li Le, and Qian Le, so there is no need to thank her at all, but the omnipotent Lord is to be thanked.

At this time, Dean Lin and Director Yi of the Department of Respiratory Medicine arrived together.

Director Yi's voice was both deep and penetrating, and Tao Le's ear was very good, and he could hear it very clearly across half of the corridor.

"With such a serious condition, I have to go to the ICU immediately, how can I be arranged to the digestive endoscopy ward?"

"The patient disagreed, so he named Tao Le to come over for treatment." Dean Lin's words were also a little helpless.

"But this is paraquat, and after the lethal dose, there is no chance at all - let Tao Le treat it, isn't it a joke?"

"I've seen eight paraquat drinkers in my life, and the first seven were miserable. Well, I also hope for a miracle, but there can be no accidents in this disease! ”

"Don't worry, let's see the situation first." Dean Lin said.

Pushing open the door of the ward, Director Yi's eyes fell on the patient, and he immediately became angry in his heart:

"What about ventilators? Why didn't you even plug it in, how can you make a living? He ignored Tao Le, and just stared at the nurse Xiao Gao, seeing that she was at a loss:

"Director Yi, this is what Dr. Tao meant, and you can see that the blood oxygen has gone up."

"No matter who you mean, you have to be responsible for the patient's life!" Director Yi's anger was even hotter.
