There was a smell of death and decay coming from his body.

After the stench was amplified, it penetrated into Xu Qiu's mind and immediately sounded a danger signal...

"etc."

Xu Qiu stopped the drowsy family member.

"Doctor, what's wrong?" The family member yawned, and while stretching, the stench from his body became even more dissipated.

"Which bed are you a dependent on?"

"It seems to be No. 21, the one at the end of the corridor."

It's the tetanus patient.

Xu Qiu's face changed slightly, and while handing a mask to the family members, he said, "Stay here and don't do anything."

The family members were shocked, "Doctor, what's wrong with me? Am I sick too?"

Xu Qiu waved over a nurse and whispered something to her. The other person's face instantly turned pale and her pupils were filled with disbelief.

"Hurry up, bring the isolation gown and seal off the entire ward immediately!" Xu Qiu urged.

At this moment, he felt a little more nervous, and there was a little more fear in his pupils when he looked towards the end of the east corridor.

…

Bang bang bang!

Almost instantly, the entire emergency department was under martial law.

In the doctor's office, a large number of doctors who were processing medical records rushed out.

"Lock down the ward?!"

"What happened to Doctor Xu's order?"

"Quick, do what Dr. Xu said, seal off the emergency department inpatient department immediately, and report it to the hospital at the same time!"

At the same time, doctors and nurses wearing isolation gowns and fully armed appeared in the east corridor.

At the front, Xu Qiu was wearing a protective suit, two layers of gloves, goggles, and three surgical masks on his face.

Doing this won't do much to filter out germs - but it will block out odors as much as possible!

"Enter."

Xu Qiu held her breath and opened the door of Ward 21.

A faint stench, mixed with the hospital's unique disinfectant smell, filled the air.

There were no lights on in the ward, only the light from the mobile phone screen of the family member who was accompanying him, who was also wearing two or three layers of masks and was following the doctor's instructions, staying by the patient's side all the time.

"Take the family members out." Xu Qiu said.

He turned to look at the patient on the bed.

As we got closer, the stench became even stronger, the negative smell that penetrated directly into the soul, making people almost want to vomit on the spot.

But the patient seemed unaware, snoring and seemed to be sleeping deeply.

Xu Qiu patted him.

The snoring stopped suddenly, but the patient did not wake up.

Xu Qiu increased the stimulation, clapping and pinching with his hands, but the other party was still groggy and only made the most basic reflexes.

"Drowsiness..."

Xu Qiu's expression changed.

He held his breath and said, "Be prepared, don't take a deep breath."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the quilt.

Huhu——

The strong stench was like a bursting pustule, rushing out in an instant and desperately getting into everyone's nostrils.

That kind of smell, mixed with the smell of fish, the smell of feces, even the smell of corpses that have been fermented for more than ten days, is no match for this smell. It can be described as the smell of "death and decay" perfectly!

"vomit!"

Almost instantly, a nurse from behind vomited it out.

The other doctors and nurses also looked pale at this moment, their pupils full of resistance and fear.

Xu Qiu felt a little collapsed at this moment.

His overly sensitive sense of smell caused him to suffer several times more torture than other people!

In fact, the stench has almost turned into substance, causing a slight burning sensation in the eyes...

However, he still resisted the urge to vomit and looked at the thigh that seemed to be emitting black gas.

Click——

The nurse held her nose in pain and held up a small lamp with her other hand.

The scene under the lights made everyone widen their eyes in shock.

The patient's left thigh is now almost completely black, like burnt carbon, it is burnt brown, with a large number of swollen areas on top, a few areas of normal skin color, and occasionally dots of speckles can be seen.

Xu Qiu endured the stench and gently pressed her hand on the patient's left thigh.

Hissssss——

Like a woman's hair constantly rubbing.

Typical crepitus!

Xu Qiu's heart sank completely.

This stench is more terrifying than corpse odor, coupled with crepitus...

Spotting is most likely a local manifestation of systemic bacteremia.

Everything points to a critical illness——

Gas gangrene!

This is an infectious disease mainly caused by anaerobic Clostridium difficile.

It develops extremely rapidly and has a very poor prognosis.

A slight delay can result in loss of limbs or even life-threatening consequences, with mortality rates as high as 20% to 50%.

Although some laymen think it is an infectious disease and not contagious - clinically, gas gangrene still meets the three infectious factors of "source of infection, route of transmission, and susceptible groups" in the hospital environment!

Direct contact, as well as indirect infection caused by the flow of family members and medical staff, may still become a horrific infection accident that spreads gas gangrene to the entire ward, or even the entire hospital!

Xu Qiu did not dare to neglect.

His voice sounded in the dead silent ward, making arrangements in an orderly manner:

"Report it to the medical department immediately and coordinate with medical staff to deal with it."

"Let the infection control office come, further seal off the ward, and guide and inspect the entire ward, as well as the disinfection, isolation and other prevention and control measures in the inpatient department!"

"Contact the Nursing Department..."

"The Logistics Department initiated emergency response measures such as 'special infection' and 'infectious fabrics'..."

"The operating room was immediately arranged to prepare for debridement and even amputation."

At this moment, all the medical staff in the ward started to move, and then the entire hospital launched an infectious disease emergency plan!

After arranging the treatment measures, Xu Qiu suddenly felt a sting in her throat.

It hurts the eyes, hurts the throat... In addition to gas gangrene, there is no second disease!

"Wang Fan, connect to ECG monitoring!"

"Liu Susu, insert a urinary catheter!"

"Prepare to open intravenous access!"

The ward was busy but not chaotic. Under the command of Xu Qiu, everyone performed their duties and carried out rescue operations.

Wang Fan stared at the ECG monitoring values ​​and immediately reported back: "Heart rate 142, respiration 32, blood pressure 165/112! Blood oxygen saturation is 100%!"

As for Liu Susu, although she often inserts urinary catheters into others and is an experienced proficient at it, she still gets it all over her hands.

But in the end, a urinary catheter was quickly inserted, and he said in shock: "The patient is incontinent. After the urinary catheter was inserted, he urinates normally!"

The two of them looked at the bedside at the same time.

At this moment, Xu Qiu had already put on a new pair of gloves and set up an intravenous catheter for the patient.

Quickly draw blood and extract specimens.

"Send blood culture!" Xu Qiu handed over a test tube.

Then, he used a 50ml empty needle to draw 60ml of blood, and quickly said: "Take culture, coagulation test."

The little nurse immediately took it and divided the blood into several parts for different uses. In the end, there was about 25 ml left.

Just as she was about to put down the syringe, Xu Qiu suddenly stretched out her hand and said, "Bring it here."

The little nurse didn't understand what Xu Qiu wanted to do, but she handed it over anyway.
Chapter completed!
