Chapter 1059 Breaking the 100% Mortality Rate! The only Survivor!
Pathogenic blood culture showed that the patient's suppressed sepsis had resurfaced!
In fact, the patient's infection had recurred several times in the past few days. Until today, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Tian Ling's body has become aggressive, and now only the highly resistant strains remain in Tian Ling's body.
In this case, even if more polymyxin is used, it will be useless, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa has already formed immunity.
So at this time, no matter how much kidney damage there is, polymyxin must be discontinued. This only effective antibiotic has completely retreated!
Not only Xu Qiu got the news, Kong Lan, Cheng Pingsheng and others also knew about this situation at the same time. Suddenly, everyone felt a little desperate, as if a dark cloud was covering the sky of the clinical doctor.
"It would be a miracle if this patient could survive..."
"With extremely severe burns, it's hard to even survive the shock period. It's a miracle that he survived until now. But I didn't expect him to fall victim to infection again!"
"Sepsis... basically more than half of the burn patients died from this terrible complication! Director Xu, do you have any other solutions?"
At this moment, everyone was in different moods, but their expressions were equally heavy.
Nothing else, just because the condition was too tortuous!
But they were not surprised.
Tian Ling's current condition is completely consistent with the development of a severely burned patient. To save her is to create the impossible. All the difficulties she faces now are the steps that must be taken to cross the mountain of death!
So, it is reasonable and expected!
But it is precisely because of this that they are more helpless.
Because they know how many twists and turns there will be in the future treatment process, they feel more and more that modern medicine is "limited". When facing real diseases, doctors can do too little.
However, just when everyone was a little at a loss, a message popped up on the mobile phones of all the expert group members.
"Half an hour later, hold the seventh multidisciplinary consultation."
The one who sent the message was naturally Xu Qiu.
Nominally, they only held seven meetings for Tian Ling, but in fact, these were only the times counted in the medical records. The real clinic had already held twenty or thirty meetings of various sizes!
To be honest, it is not worth it to use such a large amount of manpower and medical resources to save one person.
If all the experts involved are released, each person can save at least ten or twenty people in the same amount of time!
But... now Tian Ling's survival is no longer a trivial matter of life or death.
With the end of the major fire, the higher authorities have initiated the accountability procedure. Journalists from all over the country gathered in the small city of Linhai like flies smelling food, waiting for Tian Ling's death with bloodshot eyes.
They came because they smelled the smell.
So, now her survival is not just a personal life and death, but also a social issue. If she cannot be saved, it will not have much impact on Xu Qiu, but Linhai City and even Baiyun Province will usher in a wave of high-level blood changes.
But, Xu Qiu still treats it with the same serious attitude as always.
For him, no matter whether this patient is important or "not worth mentioning" in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Qiu doesn't care. He just wants to save this one and then the next one.
It is too difficult to save all living beings.
But at least, he will do his best to save the patients he sees in front of him.
...
Before the consultation, Xu Qiu went to the intensive care unit again and made a temporary round.
After removing the gauze on Tian Ling's body, a suffocating fishy smell came to the face. Everyone subconsciously held their breath and looked quite painful.
Even Xu Qiu frowned.
He was more sensitive to smell, so facing this kind of stench, the pain was several times that of other people...
But what was more shocking than the smell was Tian Ling's wound.
At this moment, under her burned skin wound, blood red, yellow and dark green intertwined, pus was oozing out all the time, and it was obvious that Tian Ling's physical condition had deteriorated to the extreme.
Only one step away from the final sleep!
What's worse than this is Tian Ling's mental state!
When she recovered from hibernation a few days ago, Tian Ling was still awake and showed a strong desire to survive.
However, she is in a coma most of the time now. Even in the short period of awakening, her mind is not clear, her consciousness is quite vague, and she has almost no communication.
The ubiquitous pain, stimulated by the excited sympathetic nerves, is destroying Tian Ling's mentality, which is already on the verge of collapse.
Now the patient's body has fallen to the cliff.
If the inner desire to survive collapses again, it will really be "the disease is like a mountain falling", and the tight string will completely collapse and cannot be established again!
"Can't delay any longer!"
Xu Qiu felt a little regretful. Tian Ling was still in a coma at this moment. He had no chance to comfort her, but he couldn't delay any longer at this moment. He had to start the next stage of the rescue plan immediately!
...
In the hurried journey, it took only five or six minutes for Xu Qiu to rush to the meeting room.
At this moment, the rest of the people were already in place, so he took out the last two plans as soon as he came in.
"First, use allogeneic skin transplantation!" Xu Qiu said in a loud voice.
The so-called allogeneic is actually to obtain skin from other humans and then transplant it to patients in need of treatment!
It is similar to organ transplantation, but this treatment transplants skin!
Since the patient has no skin, the barrier function is completely lost, and a large area of the wound is infected, then just force skin grafting!
As long as you find a way to replace the patient's original skin with something else and ensure that it survives, the area will no longer be infected!
This treatment is actually quite mature in clinical practice, but autologous skin and xenogeneic skin are mostly used.
The former is to take skin from the patient himself, such as facial burns, and take skin from the thigh or head to cover it.
But this method obviously doesn't work on Tian Ling... She has almost no intact skin on her body with extremely severe burns, and it is impossible to perform autologous skin grafting.
As for xenogeneic skin, it is even more impossible.
At present, xenogeneic skin is difficult to survive for a long time. Whether it is tilapia skin in the burn academic community or other xenogeneic or allogeneic skin, it can only temporarily cover the wound surface. To put it bluntly, it is actually a transition for subsequent autologous skin transplantation!
And if Tian Ling wants to survive, the skin grafting process will last at least two or three months. In this case, it is naturally impossible to use xenogeneic skin.
"Unfortunately, medicine is still developing too slowly..." Thinking of this, Xu Qiu sighed softly.
These days, he has read a lot of literature and learned a lot of cutting-edge technologies.
Like xenograft transplantation, Daxia is actually at the forefront.
Not long ago, the team of Academician Dou of Xijing University successfully transplanted multi-gene edited pig skin to a patient with extremely severe burns. There was no obvious rejection reaction after the operation, and the patient survived well until fifty days later, and the wound healed perfectly after shedding.
This made the treatment rate of extremely severe burns bid farewell to the 100% mortality rate forever... because Xijing University survived one!
However, this xenograft transplantation method has a huge flaw!
