"Doctor, what the hell is my dad infected, he was stung by Pipi Shrimp, why did it become like this?"

The young man also asked with some collapse.

He has only been married for a few years, and his children have only gone to kindergarten, and he is still waiting for his grandfather to take his granddaughter to school.

"The specific species of infection still need to be tested to determine, but it is very likely to be a marine Vibrio vulnificus infection."

Zhao Sheng said.

I just saw what the guy showed him, a series of examination results in the local hospital, combined with the onset of the uncle's pathogenesis, the shrimp sting, the infection progressed rapidly, the blood was high, CRP, and PCT were seriously elevated, which all showed that the uncle was infected with the extremely rare [Vibrio vulnificus]

Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium that lives in the ocean, either floating in seawater or attaching to marine fish, shrimp, oysters and other shellfish, crabs, whales and other marine organisms.

At room temperature, Vibrio vulnificus carried in shellfish and other seafood multiplies very rapidly, and humans are often infected by eating raw seafood carrying Vibrio vulnificus, or contact with infected seawater from broken wounds, or being stabbed by infected seafood.

Human infection often causes serious complications such as sepsis, tissue necrosis, and gangrene, resulting in a high mortality rate and disability rate.

"Doctor, shouldn't there be some special medicine for this bacterial infection? As long as we can cover our hands, we will use no matter how expensive the medicine is. ”

The young man looked at Zhao Sheng with earnest eyes and asked.

"Yes, doctor, as long as we can keep our hands, no matter how expensive the medicine is, we will use it to smash the pot and sell iron!"

The eldest sister also said very firmly.

"At the moment, there is no specific antibiotic for Vibrio vulnificus, so once the bacteria enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the body, then it can be life-threatening."

Zhao Sheng also said very regretfully.

At present, in clinical practice, such patients who are accidentally infected with Vibrio vulnificus are basically amputated to save their lives, and there are basically very few cases where the infected limbs have been saved after treatment.

"Doctor, is there really no way to save your hand?"

The young man asked very earnestly again.

"Doctor, treat it however you want, for the sake of a hand, lose a life, it's not cost-effective."

Just when Zhao Sheng was a little embarrassed about what to say, the uncle, who was still awake, said very neatly.

His life was originally picked up on the battlefield, so even if he didn't have his right hand, he could still live.

"During the operation, we will preserve the right upper limb as much as possible, as for the extent to which it can be preserved, it depends on the necrosis of the right upper limb tissue after the incision."

Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment and said seriously.

In clinical surgery, there are not many cases where amputation is required.

For example, limb damage, limb skin, muscle, nerve, blood vessel and bone damage that cannot be repaired, limb vascular disease leading to vascular occlusion, limb malignant tumors, severe infections such as sepsis, etc., all require amputation.

In many cases, if the limb is not amputated, the necrotic limb cells will disintegrate, and metabolic toxins will be formed, and these toxins will be life-threatening once they enter the brain and heart.

To cut or not to cut?

This is a very difficult question to weigh and answer.

For example, the uncle in front of him, who can accept amputation, can be said to be very few, the vast majority of people, some people would rather die than amputate, and become a disabled person with a mutilated limb.

Some people, even if they have a slight shortcoming in appearance, are the kind that will have very serious appearance anxiety and stay awake all night, not to mention disabled.

"It's my bad luck that I ran into it, even if I don't have my right hand, won't I live in the future?"

The uncle said to the eldest sister and the young man.

Hearing this, the eldest sister and the young man were all in their hearts, and at this time, the uncle was still worried that because of his own affairs, the doctor would be embarrassed, and the eldest sister and the young man would feel uncomfortable.

This is a real man!

In the face of illness, especially the situation that will lead to amputation or even life-threatening in front of them, the reaction of the vast majority of people is fear, and there are very few uncles who can be so open-minded in the face of such a situation, it can be said that this state of mind is one in ten thousand!

"What practical effect do you have on me as a patient, cooperate with the doctor well, maybe you can leave a few fingers or something, don't you say, doctor?"

After a pause, the uncle said categorically.

Hearing the uncle's words so open-minded, Zhao Sheng was also moved in his heart, and he was even thinking, if he encountered the situation like the uncle's current situation, could he put life and death aside and treat it indifferently like the uncle in front of him?

Instead of cowering, it is better to give it a go, and the uncle who came down from the battlefield is the one who understands this best.

On the battlefield, the more afraid you are of death, the faster you will die.

In life, in fact, sometimes the situation is the same.

"How much can be retained, and the doctor from the trauma repair department will come to consult."

Zhao Sheng nodded and said.

This uncle's surgery is not only an amputation, if it is only an amputation, then it can be done in the local hospital, and there is no need to go to the affiliated hospital.

Just now, Zhao Sheng had already asked Song Wei to call the doctor from the trauma repair department for a consultation.

After a while, the consulting doctor from the trauma repair department came.

"Doctor Zhao, are you on duty today?"

The doctor on duty in the trauma repair department who came in was none other than the attending doctor, Zhou Huining.

Seeing Zhao Sheng on duty, Zhou Huining was inexplicably happy in his heart, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Hmm."

Zhao Sheng nodded and looked at Zhou Huining.

This Zhou Huining belongs to the kind of petite and delicate type, although she is 34 years old, but a baby face makes her look like a little girl in her early twenties, and there are no traces of time on her face, and there is collagen on her face.

It stands to reason that with such a heavy workload in the hospital, the skin condition of the female doctor must not be very good, but this week Huining's skin looks like a cold white skin that can be broken by blowing bombs and is standard.

There may be some people who are resistant to aging and young, and they don't need to maintain much, even if they stay up late and are busy, their skin can keep them in the best condition, which is genetically determined.

Seeing Zhou Huining, Zhao Sheng thought of the durian European bun that Zhou Huining gave him to make himself last time, which can really be said to be the best bread he has ever eaten, and there is no one.

"How's it going?"

Zhou Huining quickly put into the state and asked Zhao Sheng.

"Vibrio vulnificus infection is suspected at this time, and it remains to be ascertained by examination."

Zhao Sheng said.
