Chapter 287: Head of Cardiac Surgery! A Night Enough to Be Recorded in History!(1/2)
However, this is all for later.
If Luo Di cannot wake up within three days, it means that the brain has suffered considerable damage, ranging from random amnesia and loss of certain functions such as speaking and reading, to various degrees of paralysis, and even more severe paralysis.
, in a vegetative state.
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
Xu Qiu was at least certain that the shrunken brain tissue that looked the scariest was actually still functional.
Other areas were not touched during the operation.
In addition, as the cerebrospinal fluid is drained and the intracranial pressure gradually decreases, Luo Di's condition should get better and better.
…
After the operation, Luo Di was sent to the intensive care unit.
At the same time, the emergency department followed Xu Qiu's "amphotericin b miltefosine" protocol and used it in conjunction with various post-operative anti-infection, anti-inflammatory, and intracranial pressure-lowering drugs.
The next morning.
Luo's wife stayed by the hospital bed, having relived the plot of "My Vegetative Husband" a hundred times in her mind, almost drying up her tears.
She even made plans.
If Luo Di is still awake, she will check Luo Di's browser records, WeChat address book, and various chat contents...
At this moment, Luo's wife suddenly saw Luo Di's fingers move.
She rubbed her eyes.
The next moment, Luo Di sat up with a bang, and the tube on his body almost fell off.
"Don't eat my brain!"
He suddenly shouted, and then fell straight down.
Luo's wife and other family members were startled and quickly rang the bell.
The nurse came to check.
By the time Xu Qiu arrived, Luo Di had completely woken up.
The latter's headache has been relieved somewhat, at least suppressed by strong morphine.
Xu Qiu understood clearly.
The source of pain is most likely effusion in the wound cavity.
This filled fluid may have squeezed the pain center of the brain outside the inner medullary plate of the thalamus.
This causes severe pain.
At this time, the fluid was evacuated and the intracranial pressure gradually dropped, so his pain naturally became much lighter.
"Can you see it?" Xu Qiu asked.
Luo Di shook his head weakly: "I still can't see, my eyes are gray, as if they were covered with a layer of fog!"
Xu Qiu tried to wiggle her fingers.
There is indeed no change in the pupils.
It seems that vision problems can still be alleviated after insecticide treatment.
The third day.
After the combined insecticide treatment, good news came from the ward.
Luo Di could vaguely see some things.
Day five.
When the shift was handed over early, the changing doctor reported again:
“During the postoperative review last night, we did a CT scan and found that the lesions in the patient’s brain had reduced a lot!
In addition, this patient can see objects at close range clearly, returning to the level of a highly myopic person."
At this time, the entire Linhai No.1 Hospital was alarmed.
Brain-eating amoeba infection…
There is no specific medicine, and the disease progresses very quickly, so the mortality rate is very high.
Since the medical records of Baiyun Province were recorded, there has not been a single infected patient.
There are very few in Daxia.
There was one in the northwest.
There are two in the southeast.
There was also one in the south.
Basically, they are discovered in local tertiary hospitals or even community hospitals.
It is almost impossible for this disease to appear in top hospitals such as Union Medical College.
Because there are no symptoms in the early stages of brain-eating amoeba infection.
Once the disease develops and the infected person realizes that he or she needs to go to the hospital, there are only a few days left before death.
Without waiting for transfer, the patient will die in the place where he was first treated.
For example, Luo Di.
I started having a high fever the night before.
The next day I went to see an outpatient at Linhai No. 1 Hospital, and I lost my sight on the spot. Emergency surgery was arranged the same day.
This is actually his reward for being a "loyal fan of Linhai No.1 Hospital".
As long as he didn't go to Linhai No.1 Hospital.
The person he was looking at was not Xu Qiu.
There is a high probability that Luo Di will die on that night.
…
In the following days, Luo Di gradually recovered.
Linhai No. 1 Hospital is ready for a new round of blockbuster news.
The title, citation, etc. are all drawn up.
"Brain-eating amoeba! There are only more than a hundred infected people in the world. All patients in Daxia died. Linhai No. 1 Hospital successfully rescued one person, setting the first domestic case and the fifth case in the world!"
However, we have to wait until Luo Di is completely stabilized and have a second re-examination a week later to confirm that the lesions have reduced again before we can publish this article.
During this period, Xu Qiu also resumed outpatient and surgical work in the emergency department.
At the same time, at Linhai Research Institute, after Xu Qiu returned, various matters were quickly put on the agenda.
On Yang Chenxi's side, he went through a special channel and directly submitted an application for external transfer of artificial blood vessel equipment to the state, and it could be shipped within two weeks.
Only in Fuwai, Yang Chenxi has this kind of treatment.
If it were someone else, given the efficiency of the relevant agencies, the response would have to wait for a month, and the transportation permission would also be delayed for another month or two.
Yang Chenxi couldn't wait any longer.
He had previously agreed to "bring equipment into the group", but he couldn't control his mood and directly dropped the equipment and took a plane to Linhai.
Xu Qiu was a little surprised: "Those devices..."
Yang Chenxi waved her hand: "Don't worry, I'll let Mr. Ma keep an eye on you."
"Mr. Ma?"
Director Ren Chao next to him was stunned for a moment.
Is it Ma Qin, the old cardiovascular director of Fuwai?
This is a prominent figure in the field of extracardiac intervention. The first person in China to propose developing his own artificial blood vessel was Ma Qin.
In some sense, those who are currently developing artificial blood vessels in China, such as Ren Chao and Yang Chenxi, have to call Ma Qin their seniors.
"This...Mr. Ma is coming too?" Ren Chao was shocked.
Xu Qiu's trick was just to trick Yang Chenxi into coming here. Even Ma Qin came!
Is this trying to sideline the cardiovascular surgery department in Fuwai?
that day.
Wang Shengde received a call from Dean Fuwai.
After being scolded a few times by the other party, he immediately fell out.
However, after knowing the reason why Dean Fuwai was angry, he smiled and allowed Dean Fuwai to scold him for a few minutes.
"Have you scolded enough? Give me a few more words, otherwise I won't feel at ease with Professor Yang and Professor Ma." Wang Shengde said while drinking tea.
