I Can See Health

When he opened his mouth, a strange smell filled the air.

Snoring...

Snoring...

Snoring...

As the old man breathed, phlegm kept rising in his throat.

But the phlegm cannot be discharged, and it is all blocked in the throat. I want to swallow but can't.

Liu Mei held the suction device in one hand, pressed the old man's cheek tightly with the other hand, and quickly inserted the suction tube into his throat.

In the throat, the vision is blurred, the light is dim, and it is difficult to identify.

Lu Chen immediately turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, letting the light shine into his throat.

"This is……"

Through the light of the mobile phone, in the field of vision, a dark black blood clot was blocked in the old man's throat.

This blood clot is not big, but it is mixed with the surrounding phlegm!

Lu Chen immediately thought that the sudden drop in the patient's blood oxygen saturation might be related to this blood clot.

"Senior sister, there is a blood clot in the throat!" Lu Chen said loudly.

Sun Guoguo frowned slightly: "Liu Mei, quickly suck up the blood clot! It seems that not only is the phlegm stuck, but the blood clot has also blocked the airway!"

Liu Mei's eyes narrowed, she concentrated her energy and looked into the throat.

"I didn't see the blood clot, where is it?"

The vision in the throat was narrow, and the blood clots were mixed with sticky phlegm, making it difficult to identify.

"The right side of the throat is deeper. You need to push the suction tube further in." Lu Chen said in a deep voice.

"good."

Liu Mei pushed the suction tube forward a little.

Bah...bah...

The suction device continues to work.

But all that was sucked out was phlegm!

"Still not seen." Liu Mei frowned and said, "Doctor Lu, where exactly is it?"

"Sister Liu, your position doesn't look good. Why don't you let me try?" At this time, Lu Chen was standing on the left side of the patient, while Liu Mei was on the right.

"You?" Liu Mei was stunned, but considering the critical situation now, she couldn't think too much and handed the suction tube to Lu Chen who was opposite.

After getting the suction tube, Lu Chen held his breath and concentrated.

Slowly push the suction tube into the throat.

The depth of insertion is one point deeper than the depth Liu Mei sucked just now.

Lu Chen was very careful in his movements to avoid damaging the old man's tracheal mucosa.

"What's going on? The blood clot is gone again?"

The throat is full of phlegm.

Could it be that the blood clot was swallowed by the patient?

Lu Chen glanced at the ECG monitor out of the corner of his eye. The blood oxygen saturation was still 75%!

No, it wasn’t swallowed!

If the blood clot is swallowed, at least the blockage in the respiratory tract is relieved, then the blood oxygen saturation will definitely rise.

But now there is no change in blood oxygen saturation, and the blood clot should still be in the throat!

"Have you found it?" Sun Guoguo's eyebrows and eyes on the side were full of anxiety, and his hands were tightly clasped together.

Lu Chen shook his head, then looked at Liu Mei and said, "Sister Liu, use a flashlight to help me illuminate."

"good."

Liu Mei took Lu Chen's cell phone, turned on the flashlight, and pointed it at the throat.

Others in the ward were equally nervous.

Everyone saw Lu Chen and Liu Mei sucking phlegm, but they couldn't help, so they could only pray silently in their hearts.

"Yes! Here!"

Under the guidance of the light, Lu Chen successfully found the blood clot mixed in the phlegm.

The sticky phlegm is mixed with blood, so blood clots are extremely difficult to find!

"Sister Liu, make the suction device more attractive!"

Adjust the direction of the suction device, aim it at the location of the blood clot, and continue suctioning repeatedly.

I saw a dark black blood clot going up the suction tube!

"Out!"

Joy flashed in Liu Mei's eyes, and she saw the dark blood clot at a glance.

"Good job." Liu Mei looked at Lu Chen aside, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.

Sun Guoguo on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you find the source of the drop in blood oxygen saturation, the rest will be easy to handle.

Lu Chen held the suction tube but still did not relax his vigilance.

The suction tube continues to work in the throat, sucking out a large amount of bloody and sticky phlegm.

But why do blood clots occur?

The situation was critical just now, so Lu Chen didn't think much about it.

Now that I have come back to my senses, the patient's attack is not only due to heart failure, there must be other reasons!

When the blood clot is sucked out, the blood oxygen saturation rises at a speed visible to the naked eye.

75%…

79%…

82%…

86%…

In just two minutes, the blood oxygen saturation gradually increased, and finally settled at 91%...

Although the blood oxygen saturation is still low, it is much better than before!

The blood clot was sucked out, part of the sticky phlegm was sucked out, and Lu Chen removed the suction tube.

The phlegm remaining in the deep bronchus is not easy to suck, and can only be expelled by the patient's own "coughing".

Huh...huh...

On the hospital bed, the old man's breathing rate was no longer as rapid as before.

He breathed heavily, enjoying the fresh air after this disaster.

Standing next to the bed, Lu Chen could still hear the obvious sound of phlegm, but the old man's condition had improved.

…

At this time, Ke Yue quickly walked into the ward pushing a simple non-invasive ventilator.

The function of the ventilator is to replace or assist the patient's breathing and help patients with respiratory failure to survive the dangerous period.

Assisted breathing by a ventilator ensures the supply of oxygen and eliminates excessive carbon dioxide retention.

However, Lu Chen had never touched a ventilator, whether it was non-invasive or invasive, and he didn't know how to debug it at all.

But for Sun Guoguo, UU reading www.uukanshu.net is very familiar.

She immediately connected the ventilator tube, replaced the humidification bottle, and adjusted the breathing mode and parameters.

The mask is buckled over the patient's mouth and nose, and the ventilator starts working.

"Liu Mei, you have to assist the patient with clasping his back to expel phlegm every day, and be sure to record the 24-hour urine output in detail." Sun Guoguo said solemnly, "Use the non-invasive ventilator for a while first, and then withdraw it after the patient feels better."

"Okay." Liu Mei nodded, and at the same time began to pack up the medicines in the emergency vehicle, putting the discarded needles and medicine bottles into the yellow sharps box, "Doctor Sun, remember to refill the emergency medical orders."

"Yes." After Sun Guoguo explained the precautions for nursing, she looked at Lu Chen aside.

Lu Chen played an important role in resolving this crisis.

This junior brother is really fearless in the face of danger!

Ke Yue still didn't know what happened, so Dong Hao and two interns on the side explained to her.

After listening to other people's explanations, she looked at Lu Chen differently.

We are all freshmen this year, but we are completely different.

Lu Chen was currently checking his system panel.

"Congratulations, I received a +1 thank you from Warwick!"

"Congratulations, I received a +1 thank you from Cao Chunmei!"

This time, he received two thank you points at the same time!

It should be the patient and his family, that is, the old woman next to him.

The total gratitude value reached 8 points!

The system completion degree has also become 70%!

Just two hours after arriving at the Department of Cardiology, the system completion level increased by 20%, and the gratitude score also increased by 3 points.

According to the frequency of this kind of rescue in cardiology department.

I'm afraid that within a few days, the system completion will reach 100%!
