Chapter 114 Late radial artery puncture

Ten minutes later.

Yin Xinhua and He Sirong still haven't returned to the doctor's office.

The footsteps of the nurse outside the corridor became more and more hurried.

Occasionally, the shouts of patients' family members can be heard.

…

Lu Chen went to Fu Fengqin to sign the informed consent form for the surgery.

Walking to the corridor of the ward, he saw that the door of the 43-bed hospital bed was already crowded with people.

Most of them were family members of patients in other beds, craning their necks to look into the ward.

"Everyone, please stop standing around, it will affect the doctor's rescue!"

The head nurse also rushed over and evacuated the patient's family members who were watching the excitement at the door. At the same time, a blue partition was erected in front of bed 43.

Lu Chen did not step forward, but returned to the doctor's office.

Each group is relatively independent from each other.

There are more than ten doctors in each group, from the superior chief physician to the lower-level interns.

Even for rescue operations, there is basically no shortage of manpower.

"Junior brother, what's going on with that patient?"

As soon as Lu Chen returned to the doctor's office, Sun Guoguo asked curiously.

"I don't know." Lu Chen shook his head, "They must be rescuing him."

"Oh." Sun Guoguo nodded and continued to look at the work at hand.

And Ding Deli on the side. Seeing that Yin Xinhua and He Sirong hadn't come back for a long time, he couldn't sit still. He picked up the stethoscope and walked out of the doctor's office quickly.

…

five minutes later.

He Sirong quickly ran back to the doctor's office.

She sat in front of the computer, opened the medical record and started writing.

"Xiao He, what kind of patient are you dealing with?" Sun Guoguo asked abruptly.

He Sirong immediately said: "A female patient with total heart failure after acute extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction came to our hospital after being rejected by the city hospital and the First People's Hospital."

"Ah? Why not send it directly to the CCU?" Sun Guoguo frowned, "Why was it sent to our general ward?"

He Sirong smiled bitterly: "The family members were afraid that our hospital would not accept him and concealed his condition. He just had an acute heart failure attack. Senior Sister Yin was worried that something would happen to this patient, so she asked me to come back first and write down the course of the disease."

After listening to He Sirong's words, Sun Guoguo realized that this patient's condition was unusual.

Not only the patient's condition, but also the behavior of the patient's family members in hiding the patient!

This patient’s family members definitely have potential medical trouble!

"Junior Brother Lu, let's go check on the patient's condition." Sun Guoguo immediately put down what he was doing.

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded.

The two immediately walked out of the doctor's office and came to the ward where bed 43 was located.

…

Come to the ward.

Lu Chen saw a sixty-year-old female patient sitting on the bed.

The head of the bed was swung high.

She had a respirator mask on her mouth and her hands rested on the side rails of the hospital bed.

His breathing was very rapid, he was sweating profusely, and he looked very agitated.

Lu Chen looked at her health attentively.

Only 37 left!

…

There were many nurses beside the bed working together on the rescue.

One nurse is opening an intravenous line for a patient, and another nurse is inserting a urinary catheter.

"You can't maintain blood pressure with dopamine alone! Use another set of norepinephrine!"

Director Lin Cui looked serious and gave orders from the side.

"Roger it!" Liu Mei was the main nurse in the rescue and immediately began to prepare the liquid.

"Another half of morphine! Pay attention to the patient's breathing!"

"good!"

The rescue was carried out in an orderly manner.

But the patient's condition did not improve at all!

"Director Lin, please transfer the patient to CCU now?" Yin Xinhua whispered from the side.

Lin Cui shook her head.

"If we push to the CCU now, people may die halfway! Just communicate with the patient's family about the condition!"

At this time, Liu Mei suddenly said.

"Director Lin, the patient's blood pressure is too low and the blood gas analysis cannot be taken!"

"If the blood gas from the radial artery can't be pumped out, can't the blood gas from the femoral artery be pumped out as well?" Lin Cui frowned.

Liu Mei shook her head helplessly.

She had an artery puncture needle in her hand, but she couldn't start.

"The pulse of the patient's femoral artery is very weak and can hardly be felt!"

Lin Cui was relieved.

"Try a few more times, if it doesn't work, forget it."

Liu Mei had no choice but to nod and continue trying.

The patient in front of me not only had low blood pressure and a thin pulse, but he also had diabetes in the past and his blood vessels were tortuous.

The blood vessel condition is extremely poor!

Lu Chen was moved in his heart. He had trained in the virtual space to puncture the radial artery with poor blood vessel conditions.

Maybe, he can try it!

But with so many people present, it was impossible for him, a new graduate student, to take over the job of a nurse.

At this time, Liu Mei suddenly said: "Someone, help me hold the patient down. He is a little restless and I can't perform the puncture properly."

Patients experiencing acute heart failure are often agitated.

The interns in Lin Cui's team were a little confused when they saw this kind of rescue situation.

He Sirong wrote the medical records in the ward again.

In an instant, no one responded to Liu Mei.

When Lu Chen saw this, he immediately took a step forward.

"Sister Liu, let me help you."

Lu Chen held down the patient's right thigh so that Liu Mei could find a good angle for puncture.

"Thanks."

Liu Mei tried several more times, but failed to draw blood from the femoral artery.

"It still doesn't work!"

"Sister Liu, why don't you try radial artery puncture?" Lu Chen asked tentatively.

Liu Mei was stunned: "The femoral artery can't be extracted, but the radial artery can?"

Lu Chen touched the patient's radial artery with his other hand.

"I can feel a pulse here, maybe I can draw some arterial blood!"

"Really?" Liu Mei doubtfully touched the position pointed by Lu Chen, and there seemed to be a slight pulsation.

Although it’s not obvious, you can try it!

Liu Mei concentrated her eyes, picked up the puncture needle, and began to operate.

The puncture needle enters the blood vessel.

Liu Mei adjusted the angle back and forth several times, but still did not see any red blood at the tail of the puncture needle!

This proves that the puncture has failed!

"It still doesn't work!" Liu Mei was about to give up.

"Sister Liu! When you withdraw the needle, you must withdraw it under the skin. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Then adjust the puncture direction, fine-tune it to the left or right, and then try again!" Lu Chen whispered in Liu Mei's ear. , “If the puncture needle is too deep, it may not be able to touch the artery!”

Liu Mei was stunned. When did Lu Chen know how to puncture the radial artery?

But listening to his tone, he seemed to be very determined. Liu Mei withdrew the needle under the skin with a trying attitude.

Gently fine-tune the direction of the puncture needle.

I saw that the tail of the puncture needle was immediately filled with red blood.

The color of the blood is bright red, which proves that it is arterial blood!

Liu Mei looked happy and immediately began to draw arterial blood.

She really didn't expect that under Lu Chen's guidance, she would succeed!

But Lu Chen couldn't laugh.

Because, he saw that the patient's health value dropped.

The magnitude of the drop in health this time made his eyelids twitch!

The patient's health dropped from 37 to 25!

This was the first time he had seen such a large decline.
