Back to 1999: From operating surgeons to becoming a top doctor

Chapter 143

This was the first time that Gong Liang had seen such physical cooling, and he even felt a little sorry for it.

Would the patient be too cold with this method? What if he caught a cold?

Just as Gong Liang was worried, the patient's heart rate, which was originally a little fast, actually dropped to the normal range on the monitor.

This stunned Gong Liang.

He quickly used his hand to feel the patient's skin temperature and found that it was not as hot as before.

Gong Liang asked for a mercury thermometer and clipped it on the patient. Five minutes later, he looked at the scale on the thermometer with an expression of surprise.

"The patient's temperature dropped to 37℃ so quickly!"

Gong Liang stayed up all night and tried all kinds of methods, but he couldn't lower the patient's temperature. Xiao Chenguang actually used an electric fan to solve the problem.

"Is the effect so good?"

Wang Jia, who had just finished her work, also came over.

Gong Liang handed her the thermometer, and the latter looked at it and was amazed.

"Director Xiao is really amazing. When the patient first came, I took his temperature. Just after one minute, his temperature was about to go off the charts. I didn't expect that the patient's temperature would drop in such a short time."

Wang Jia didn't expect that the fan's physical cooling effect would be so good.

In the past, they used towels or ice cubes to cool patients down.

If it didn't work, they would use antipyretics.

But the patient in front of him had most of his skin missing, so he didn't dare to use ordinary physical cooling methods.

As for antipyretics, Gong Liang said that he had used them on patients in the emergency room, but they didn't work at all.

How come an electric fan can solve this big problem now?

Seeing their confusion, Xiao Chenguang explained briefly.

The skin is the largest organ in the human body to dissipate body temperature.

Once damaged, it cannot dissipate heat through radiation, evaporation, etc., and persistent high fever will occur.

At this time, convection is needed to cool down.

In fact, this knowledge will be taught by teachers who have taken junior high school biology.

It is also very simple to operate.

It’s just that sometimes when we encounter difficult patients, we get anxious and many things are ignored.

Xiao Chenguang adjusted the gear of the electric fan, swung the head left and right, and cooled down.

"When you hand over, always pay attention to the patient's body temperature. Once the body temperature is too low, stop physical cooling."

The electric fan can't be blown all the time, and you need to observe the actual situation of the patient.

After all, the patient's skin has lost its body temperature regulation function. If it keeps cooling down, it is very likely that the body temperature will not rise.

This requires medical staff to observe at all times.

There is no way. Patients with large-area burns do have all kinds of troubles in hospitalization.

It is also time-consuming and laborious to deal with.

But no matter how time-consuming and laborious it is, a life is in front of us. No matter how hard and tired everyone is, they will still be 100% energetic and deal with it actively.

This is what medical staff should do.

"At this time, it would be great if there was a medical ice blanket."

Xiao Chenguang was a little regretful.

The ice blanket he mentioned is also called a dual temperature controller. It can be used to heat and cool down the patient according to the patient's actual situation.

It also has an intelligent control system. As long as a wire is clamped in the armpit, the patient's body temperature can be monitored in real time.

The temperature of the ice blanket can be adjusted at any time to achieve the best treatment effect.

With a series of measures, the condition of the patient with large-area burns has finally improved.

For the next treatment, Xiao Chenguang has also made a plan. The rest is to follow the procedures and go step by step.

"Director Xiao, the patient who had the operation has woken up."

Xiao Chenguang had just finished his work here and was halfway through recording the medical records in his hand when Wang Jia's voice came.

"Instructor, are you awake?"

After hearing this, Xiao Chenguang put down the iron medical record clip and came to the instructor's side.

After asking a few simple questions and doing a few trainings, he found that the instructor's body had recovered better than he thought.

The physical fitness of soldiers is extraordinary.

He had just experienced a serious trauma and had a combined major operation. Only one night later, he was able to follow instructions and move around.

Even the atelectasis and diaphragm dysfunction that often occur after surgery did not appear on the instructor.

If he had not just had an operation for a pelvic fracture, Xiao Chenguang even thought that he could be transferred out of the small ICU today.

Very good.

Xiao Chenguang encouraged the instructor again, telling him to rest assured and recuperate, and that his family would come to see him later.

Then Lin Gaoyang, who came early in the morning, handed over the shift to Xiao Chenguang.

He explained the matters that should be paid attention to again, and it was almost noon when he walked out of the ICU.

The sun was shining outside, and Xiao Chenguang felt warm all of a sudden.

Since tomorrow was his first day at the specialist clinic, and the small ICU was still closed, Xiao Chenguang would be able to see the instructor again.With two seriously ill patients to look after, Xiao Chenguang did not plan to return to the rental house.

He planned to go back to the general surgery department to see Professor Zhuang, and then rest in the duty room.

At this time, Liao Changgong, who had been guarding outside for almost a day, saw Xiao Chenguang coming out of the small ICU and immediately greeted him.

"Hello, Director Xiao..., do you still recognize me?"

Liao Changgong was a little embarrassed at the moment, especially when he drove to the emergency room yesterday and learned that several major events had happened in Shengli Hospital in recent days.

And all of these were related to Xiao Chenguang in front of him.

Whether it was the treatment of a large number of car accident injuries or the rescue of the on-site fire this time, Xiao Chenguang's role could be said to be irreplaceable.

Even as the youngest department director of Shengli Hospital, Xiao Chenguang's growth rate shocked Liao Changgong.

"Reporter Liao, why are you here?"

The familiar face in front of him made Xiao Chenguang look stunned.

The city TV reporter was waiting here in person to find him.

Was there something wrong with the previous interview?

Seeing Xiao Chenguang's puzzled expression, Liao Changgong knew that he liked to be straightforward, so he got straight to the point and stated his request.

"It turned out to be a personal interview."

Xiao Chenguang suddenly realized that he was familiar with such interviews in his previous life, and it could be said that he was more professional than some newly employed reporters.

"Okay, if you have any needs, tell me and I will cooperate with you."

Xiao Chenguang did not refuse. This was a good thing for him at the moment.

It can expand publicity and better develop new technologies. Xiao Chenguang does not mind the city station doing more such programs.

"That's great."

For some reason, the moment Xiao Chenguang agreed, Liao Changgong actually felt relieved.

Perhaps in his opinion, Xiao Chenguang was very respectful to accept the interview of the city station in his busy schedule.

He immediately turned on the camera, filmed, and recorded his daily work.

Everything went smoothly. After the filming was over, Liao Changgong thanked him profusely and asked for the surveillance records of the emergency car accident injuries. He then hurried back to the city station to make efforts for the final film reading.

Xiao Chenguang had nothing to do that day. He ate and drank enough, had a good sleep, and came to the outpatient clinic very early the next day.

Compared with the ward and the emergency department, the outpatient work is actually a lot easier.

Especially for a "busy life" like Xiao Chenguang, it is quite a vacation.

He got his expert number at the triage desk, signed and confirmed, and came to the clinic.

The clinic is not big. Even the expert clinic is only a little bigger than the ordinary clinic.

The layout is simple, with a table, a chair, and a bed. There is a film reading lamp hanging on the wall to facilitate the doctor's diagnosis.

Gradually, the doctors who are sitting today came to the clinic one after another.

"Hey, Director Xiao, good morning."

"Have you eaten? Do you want me to bring you two buns?"

Since Xiao Chenguang's clinic is close to the outpatient triage desk, it is the clinic on the outermost side of the corridor.

The doctors passing by greeted this young and cutting-edge director enthusiastically after seeing him.

Especially the doctors in the same surgical department, they seemed to be closer to Xiao Chenguang. After all, his new technology, which was like a treasure chest, made people salivate.

"Director Xiao, is it convenient? Can I ask if there are any good micro-innovation technologies in the cardiovascular field that can be developed recently?"

Since there was still some time, the doctor opposite Xiao Chenguang walked to his clinic and asked patiently.

"Cardiovascular?"

Xiao Chenguang, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked up.

A middle-aged man with a kind face and a simple appearance stood at the door of the clinic with a smile on his face.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Li Cheng, from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine. It's our first meeting. I'm honored to meet you."
