Chapter 406: Is the Patient’s Family Around? ]
“Okay!”
After listening to Xu’s instructions, Jiang started to perform CPR on the patient. She pressed 20 times at once, but the patient still did not respond.
“Inject one of the epinephrine.”
The nurse went to make a call, but nobody was around.
Old Bao quickly looked for the epinephrine on the trolley at the side and quickly found it:
“I’ll inject it.”
“Okay, give me the retractor.”
Fortunately, the nurse finally came back at this time. She hurriedly handed over the retractor that she had prepared.
After a few rounds of resuscitation, the number on the instrument finally began to recover.
“He’s back,” the nurse said excitedly.
Jiang Tingxu had already pressed for more than a hundred times, and both of her hands were numb. Old Bao and old Liu also heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
After the number on the device returned to its normal value, everyone took a break. Beads of sweat were dripping down their foreheads.
Actually, it wasn’t just their foreheads. The few people present were probably drenched from head to toe.
The two doctors from the radiology department were pushing the device in. It wasn’t slow at all. Who would dare to be careless with something that started with eight digits?
Of course, the two colleagues from the radiology department weren’t slow either. They started right away.
Soon, the image of the patient’s brain appeared on the display screen.
“This, the situation is not good!”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
One of the radiology department colleagues pointed at the display screen:
“Look, the amount of bleeding in this area is very large. The oedema is very severe. The circumferential cistern is completely occluded. The intracranial pressure has increased maliciously. Even if it is extremely unlikely to be saved, 90% of the patients will be in a vegetative state.”
Not to mention, the patient did not only have a brain injury. There were also spiral comminuted fractures on the lower leg and femoral neck fractures.
According to the patient’s identity, the patient was already 67 years old. At this age, just the fracture of the femoral neck alone would mean death.
According to the investigation, the mortality rate of an elderly person after a femoral neck fracture was as high as 50%!
And this type of fracture that occurred at the hip was also known as the “Last Fracture.”.
The reason why it was called the “Last Fracture” was that it meant that there would be no more fractures in the future?
Obviously not. This “Last Fracture” was because many old people with proximal femur fractures died after the fracture due to various reasons. They did not even have the chance to have another fracture.
“Inform the family!”
The family had to make the final decision in the current situation: save or not save.
Everyone was silent for a while.
“Are the family members here?” Jiang listened to Xu’s words.
The female nurse pursed her lips:
“I’ll go out and take a look.”
There were many people waiting outside the resuscitation room. Almost all of them were the family members of the victims of the accident at the construction site. There were also some remote family members who were on their way here.
“Are Zheng Rongguang’s family members here?” After the female nurse came out, she asked the crowd loudly.
“Yes, Zheng Rongguang is my father.”
The female nurse looked around:
“Are you Mr Zheng’s only son?”
Eh?
“No, no, I still have an older brother and younger sister. They are far away, and it will take a while for them to arrive. Is my father… Is he alright?”
The female nurse frowned:
“Come in with me first.”
“Eh, eh, okay.”
Actually, the nurse had already expressed a lot of meaning in her question just now.
If there was no problem or not a big problem, why would she ask that?
The family’s face turned much paler, and they walked with the same hands and feet.
When he came in, he immediately saw his father lying on the resuscitation bed. He was wearing an oxygen mask, and there were all kinds of tubes on his body:
“Dad! Dad!”
