Chapter 79: Acute pulmonary edema
Lifting the curtain of the tent and entering, Tashi was helping the old lady in the dim light.
The old man is not young, he is sixty-eight this year, Nima Zhandui is the youngest son in their family, he stayed to inherit this pasture, and most of the other children have left Dangxiong to go outside to make a living.
Nima Zhan went up to take a look, and was also very anxious.
I thought that it was inconvenient for the old man to go on the road with him when he was at home alone, but he didn't expect an accident to happen as soon as he arrived here.
Chen Xing also went over to take a look.
The old lady was now panting like a cow and sweating profusely, apparently suffering from some kind of disease.
"Call 120 first." Chen Xing said.
Nima Zhandui reacted and quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call.
Chen Xing touched the old man's pulse and asked Tashi, "Go get a dry towel for her to wipe her sweat." ”
Wang Heng hurriedly said, "I'll go!" ”
Tashi, who was already six gods, cried and said, "My father-in-law walked like this back then, sweating profusely, saying that the eagle in the sky had come to lead the way for him." ”
Chen Xing secretly scolded feudal superstition in his heart, where there are so many people who lead the way, it is not the disease.
The pulse is fast and weak, and breathing is difficult...... Chen Xing saw that her face was painful, his left hand was holding his chest, and he added in his heart, his chest was tight.
Heart failure plus acute pulmonary edema?
He wasn't sure, there was nothing on the scene, so he could only draw such a conclusion first.
The skill of first aid is indeed very good, but when it comes to the heart and brain diseases of the elderly, Chen Xing really has no choice, and he can't conjure up a hospital out of thin air.
"Help her sit up."
Chen Xing felt that there was a high probability of pulmonary edema, but it was inconvenient to say, so he could only adjust the position of the old man to make her breathe better.
In the face of any patient who has difficulty breathing, it is possible to have the patient sit on something with their legs perpendicular to the ground and not do any other activity, which will reduce the burden on the patient's heart and lungs.
"Does she have any chronic conditions?"
"I have high blood pressure, and I have been taking blood pressure medication."
"Is there oxygen in the house?"
"Yes, the kind that sells to tourists."
"Okay, you go get it."
Wang Heng, who had just run back, dropped the towel and said, "I'll get it." ”
He also wanted to help, but he really didn't understand medical things, so he could only do what he could.
Chen Xing asked, "Grandma, do you remember me?" Remember to pinch me. ”
He was now holding the old man's hand, but there was no movement.
At this time, the phone rang, and Nima Zhandui said: "My family is sick and needs an ambulance. ”
"We are in the north of the quasi-land, near this side of the county road, there are a lot of yaks, we are standing by the side of the road waiting for you...... Have high blood pressure ......"
Chen Xing said: "The patient has chest tightness, difficulty breathing, involuntary consciousness, and is very critical, so let them hurry." ”
Nima Zhandui hurriedly began to speak Tibetan, but very cleverly gave Chen Xing his mobile phone.
"Hello, the patient now has heart failure and respiratory failure, has high blood pressure, the situation is not very good, please let the ambulance be faster."
"Okay, we'll be right there."
Chen Xing does not expect a professional emergency center in this kind of local hospital, generally the operator of 120 notifies the local hospital after receiving the call, and then the local hospital departs, if you drive a little faster, the time to go back and forth is about one and a half hours.
Calculating the time, Chen Xing's heart really sank no longer.
How else to say that there is no emergency on the grassland, the ambulance and the hospital are so far away, there is still a chance of heart failure, if you encounter a myocardial infarction, it is estimated that you can only prepare for the future.
Oxygen is coming.
Chen Xing was doing what he could, feeling his pulse with one hand.
Now it's just a matter of resignation.
It's a long half hour.
Nima Zhandui looked at his phone every minute, or even less than a minute, Tashi cried a few times, Xiao Zhuoma saw her mother crying, she also cried, Tsering Quzhen helped wipe her sweat, ran before and after, and helped a lot.
The condition did not deteriorate any further, and then the sound of an ambulance was heard.
"It's finally here." Nima Zhandui hurriedly went out to pick up people.
A minute later, two doctors in white coats walked in with a bunch of things, they were not too young, Chen Xing said, "Get on the stretcher first, you will definitely be sent to the hospital." ”
"Okay, you can help carry it."
Nima Zhandui immediately nodded and said, "No problem." ”
Chen Xing watched them move the patient slowly, checking their heart rate, and his heart was very anxious. In a larger city, first aid is done by young men in their prime, and this kind of half-hundred-year-old man estimates that he can't do a few cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
When they got in the car, Chen Xing and Nima went up.
He asked Chen Xing in a low voice, "My mother should be fine, right?" ”
"It's much better than before, as long as this disease can be saved, it's not serious."
One of the people with gray hair looked at the electrocardiogram, looked at Chen Xing, and said, "It's a doctor?" ”
Chen Xing didn't refute and said, "I know a little bit about pre-hospital. ”
The two doctors in the car both turned their heads to look at Chen Xing.
It's not that doctors don't know what pre- and post-hospital hospitals are, and this kind of patient meets an emergency doctor, and the specialty is right.
"No wonder it hasn't deteriorated for almost an hour, your family is so lucky."
It's not lucky, when they received the call, they had a warning in their hearts, thinking that they would come over and do their best to obey the fate of God, but now they look at the situation is not bad, and the patient has been taken care of in the best way.
Nima Zhandui touched his heart and breathed rapidly.
He's going to be scared out of the heart attack.
Fortunately, I decided to thank Chen Xing for inviting him over today, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about the consequences.
"Thank you." He said sincerely.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Chen Xing stared at the two doctors who first intubated, and then injected cardiac agents, furosemide and cediran and other first-aid drugs, which was a sigh of relief, it seems that the emergency doctors here are not as bad as they thought, but they are really too old.
As he had thought, it was difficult to resuscitate a patient in shock for a long time.
He lay relaxed in the car.
Only then did I realize that I was tired and couldn't do it anymore, psychologically and physically.
Amid the prayers of Nima Zhandui, the car drove into the county hospital.
After being admitted to the hospital, Chen Xing waited until the old man regained consciousness, and then he was completely relieved.
A sense of pleasure arises.
The old man couldn't speak now, holding Chen Xing with one hand, and Nima Zhandui's eyes were red and said, "Thank you really this time, Chen Xing, you have helped our family a lot, we will thank you." ”
"No, anyone would do it if they could."
Nima Zhandui sent Chen Xing out of the hospital, opened a room for him, and hurried back to the hospital.
Wang Heng came to Dangxiong with Tashi and Chen Xing's travel bags, Tashi stayed in the hospital to take care of the elderly, and Nima Zhandui had to go back to the grassland to take care of the family and take care of the cattle and sheep.
It was almost early in the morning, and Wang Heng knocked on Chen Xing's door.
When he came in, he said, "Brother, you are so amazing, I will thank you for Brother Zhandui first." ”
"Thank you for a long time, it's just a little favor, where's my bag?"
"Here." He carried the duffel bag from behind his back.
persuaded the excited Wang Heng to go home, Chen Xing took a shower, and lay on the bed thinking about today's events.
It's great to be able to save people.
Chen Xing had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Slept soundly.
