Chapter 114: Ultra-Small Gauge Intubation Instruments?
Soon, Zhao Heng followed Fang He to a newborn constant temperature incubator, and through the transparent box, Zhao Heng saw a small baby, curled up in the incubator.
On the young baby's skin, various patches are also attached, which are connected to the life monitor outside the incubator.
It looks very distressing.
The newborn baby is not even able to leave the incubator because of congenital deficiency, low body weight, and choking on amniotic fluid, which causes breathing difficulties.
This little incubator is like a shelter for this little baby in the whole world.
"Doctor Zhao, this is the medical record."
Fang He handed a medical record to Zhao Heng.
"Hmm."
Zhao Heng took the medical record and looked at it.
At this look, Zhao Heng's face suddenly froze.
Seeing the examination data on the medical record, Zhao Heng looked at the little baby lying in the incubator again, in order to come to this world, this poor child had to bear too many things.
When I was born, my life hung by a thread, and I choked on amniotic fluid, and now I am in respiratory distress with a serious lung infection.
It can be said that some people will never experience the pain in their lifetime, and this little baby was born with it.
"Doctor Zhao, can a newborn be intubated in this situation?"
Seeing Zhao Heng's solemn face, Fang He couldn't help but ask with some apprehension.
If Zhao Heng can't do this tracheal intubation, then it is estimated that no one in the entire East Hospital can do it.
These days, Zhao Heng's level and operation in anesthesia have been recognized.
"Let me think about it."
Zhao Heng didn't agree to come down.
Not to mention that the baby's airway is already narrow, and there is edema of the airway, the space that can be used for intubation will not be much wider than a chopstick, and more seriously, if the intubation is forced, it is very likely to damage the baby's undeveloped airway, which is bound to aggravate respiratory distress and even cause suffocation.
The most important thing is that in Zhao Heng's impression, even if it is a device specifically for intubation of infants and young children, there is no such small specification that can be used on this little baby.
"Technically speaking, although the difficulty of intubation is relatively high, it is worth a try, and the most critical problem now is that our anesthesiology department does not have such a small size of intubation instruments."
After thinking about it, Zhao Heng said to Fang He.
Hearing Zhao Heng say this, Fang He's mood was mixed with joy and sorrow.
She was happy that Zhao Heng said that there was no problem in technology, and what was difficult to solve was that there was no intubation instrument of such a small specification now.
"I'm afraid that such a small size of intubation equipment is only available in specialized children's hospitals."
Zhao Heng said again.
"Children's Hospital? Dr. Zhao, wait a minute, I have a classmate at Beishi Children's Hospital, I'll call and ask. ”
Hearing Zhao Heng say this, Fang He's eyes lit up, and he suddenly seemed to have grasped the last hope.
"Hmm."
Zhao Heng nodded.
He was not familiar with Beishi Children's Hospital, so he had to ask Fang He to contact him.
Ten minutes later.
Fang He came back with joy on her face, and she said to Zhao Heng with some joy: "My classmate said that there is this kind of ultra-small intubation device over there, and he has already told me the company that can provide this intubation instrument, and now I just have to contact this company." ”
Although Beishi Children's Hospital has such ultra-small medical equipment, it is naturally impossible to use the surgical instruments of other hospitals.
The best and most appropriate way to do this is to contact a company that can provide the medical device.
Today's medical device companies, due to fierce competition, will not give up even if it is just a small order for the country's top hospitals such as Dongfang Hospital.
You know, this is an order from Dongfang Hospital, and for any medical device company, it is the best way to show its strength to supply medical equipment to Dongfang Hospital.
It is conceivable that once the medical device company is contacted in the name of the hospital, I am afraid that the sales of this company will have to run over with a set of equipment.
In the field of medical devices, the competition is so fierce, especially in recent years, it has almost reached a white-hot level.
"Well, that's good."
Hearing this good news, Zhao Heng also breathed a sigh of relief, the situation of this little baby's respiratory distress was already very serious, and if he did not undergo tracheal intubation, there was a great possibility of suffocation.
This kind of consequence is unimaginable to everyone.
Next, Fang He hurriedly contacted the medical company that could provide the smallest size of intubation instruments, and Zhao Heng temporarily returned to the anesthesiologist's office in the operating room.
As soon as he came in, Xu Manni glanced at him and sighed.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Seeing Xu Manni sighing, Zhao Heng asked with some doubts.
"Now, when you are asked to consult a patient, it's either something that no one else can do, or no one else has done it at all. You say what if one day you encounter a situation that you can't handle? ”
Xu Manni said slowly.
"Sister, I'm not an immortal, I will definitely encounter a situation that I can't handle."
Hearing that Xu Manni was worried about this, Zhao Heng said disapprerovitically.
The doctor is not a god, and with a wave of his hand, the patient's pain disappears.
The scope that modern medicine can solve is also limited, and this limitation is still very large.
Cancer, HIV, autoimmune diseases, and many other diseases that human medicine has not yet conquered.
"Sister, don't worry, I will weigh it, and I won't take it all over."
Knowing what Xu Manni was worried about, Zhao Heng comforted her again and said.
What Xu Manni was worried about was nothing more than that Zhao Heng encountered a situation that he couldn't handle one day, but he was burdened by this reputation all along, and he really took over the patients he couldn't support.
Speaking of which, Zhao Heng's situation can be regarded as half a year of ambition.
The reason why I say half is because Zhao Heng has experienced a lot of human hardships before, but at the age of twenty-five, he can have his current achievements, which can be regarded as a young ambition.
"Is the neonatology department contacting a medical device company?"
Xu Manni asked again.
"Well, Fang He from the neonatology department asked her classmates at the children's hospital and said that only this medical device company can provide the smallest specification of endotracheal intubation instruments."
Zhao Heng nodded.
"Needless to say, it must be Sino."
Xu Manni said without surprise.
As a senior nurse in the operating room, she naturally has a deep understanding of medical device companies.
"Cyno Corporation?"
Hearing Xu Manni say this, Zhao Heng felt as if he had heard of this company before.
"Well, against Pfizer, although Pfizer is now relatively strong and occupies most of the share. But in terms of high-end scarce devices, Sino is still very strong. ”
Xu Manni said like a treasure.
"I see."
As soon as Xu Manni said this, Zhao Heng immediately became stunned.
The market share of medical devices in this oriental hospital was basically divided by Pfizer and Sino.
Needless to say, Pfizer has seized most of the share.
But Sino is not a vegetarian, Pfizer can't do it, and if it doesn't, Sino can provide it, so it also firmly occupies a part of the share.
Thinking about it this way, these two companies are incompatible with each other!
