Chapter 131

"Water pipe, cooling down?"

When these two words were superimposed together, everyone present looked stunned.

"For burn patients, regardless of severity, the first thing to do after ensuring safety is to cool down."

For people, burn department was still an unfamiliar term in the 1990s.

Doctors specializing in burns are even rarer.

Even now, some tertiary hospitals in third- and fourth-tier cities have not set up specialized burn departments.

After all, the rescue and treatment of patients with large-scale deep burns has always been a difficult problem for doctors.

Not only is the treatment complicated and there are many complications, the patient's life is in danger all the time.

The intricate risks are like a dense network of thorns. If you are not careful, everything will be lost, which discourages many doctors.

Perhaps it is for this reason that when medical aesthetics was later incorporated into the specialty of burns and plastic surgery, the entire discipline flourished like mushrooms after a rain.

"Director Xiao, I took over the water pipe, how do you cool it down?"

Gong Liang had already found the water pipe and dragged it over.

But he still didn't quite understand how to operate it. With this posture, he couldn't hold the water pipe and rush directly towards the wounded.

However, Xiao Chenguang's operation made people dumbfounded.

"The next step will be very painful, but it must be done. If you are burned by high temperature, your whole body must be flushed with running water for 10-20 minutes to lower the skin temperature, otherwise the skin will not be saved."

After that, Xiao Chenguang took the water pipe from Gong Liang's hand, adjusted the flow rate, and sprayed it directly towards the wounded.

hiss! ! !

The tap water in the water pipe is not particularly cold, but for patients with skin temperatures above 42°C, it is like falling into an ice hole.

The pain was unbearable, as if thousands of ants were eating his body.

The severe pain caused the wounded man's face to twitch.

The pain of burn patients is unimaginable to those who have not experienced it.

Seeing this, Xiao Chenguang said loudly: "I know you are in pain, hold on. Only when this hurdle is over will there be more hope in the future."

He turned his head and looked at the somewhat dumbfounded nurse on board: "Give him an injection of morphine. Keep the ampoule. I'll go back and refill it."

Once the medicine is applied, the pain relief effect is immediately apparent.

The man's condition improved slightly, but the area of ​​his burned skin was too large, and some of the clothing attached to his skin began to slowly fall off.

The bright red skin looked hideous and terrifying when exposed to the air.

Part of the skin is white, and there are dense yellow blisters on it, just like cellulitis. People who look at it will have trypophobia.

"Boss, he...has big blisters all over his body, can he still wash it with water?"

Lin Gaoyang asked the question in the minds of everyone present.

After all, holding a water pipe and rushing towards the injured at the scene is a bit weird no matter how you look at it.

But Xiao Chenguang knew that the cooling effect of cold water was already there.

For patients with sudden burns, the first first aid measure is to rinse repeatedly under running water for 20 minutes to lower the skin temperature and reduce secondary damage to burns.

The most serious burn patient he ever encountered was a worker who was burned by steam for more than 10 minutes in a workshop.

More than 90% of his body was severely burned, making him a difficult-to-treat patient internationally.

However, Xiao Chenguang successfully recovered and discharged the patient after ninety-nine and eighty-one days through various techniques such as 24-hour full-day monitoring, skin flap transplantation, negative pressure drainage, and autologous allogeneic particle transplantation.

Therefore, Xiao Chenguang had his own method for the wounded in front of him.

"Prepare oil gauze, iodophor, and cotton pads. The patient needs emergency debridement and bandaging."

"Establish bilateral intravenous access, quickly inject two bottles of Ringer's solution to prevent shock, and prepare for a penicillin skin test."

"Bring the stretcher over, put a sheet on it, and transfer it immediately after the debridement is completed."

At this time, 120 had chosen to take a detour. Using this time, Xiao Chenguang chose to perform on-site debridement in order to prevent secondary injuries to the injured during transportation.

"good."

"clear."

As Xiao Chenguang's order was issued, everyone started to move.

Everyone is clear about their division of labor when it comes to preparing supplies, giving infusions and injections, and making beds for stretchers.

Their skilled operation, quick action, and orderly work give people a strong sense of belief.

"Director Xiao, let me help you debridement."

As soon as he heard that Xiao Chenguang was going to debridement, Gong Liang next to him immediately cheered up. After all, this was his specialty in the emergency department.

"Okay, pay attention to the protection of the wound. Gao Yang, you are strong, you are responsible for helping to lift the person."

"no problem."

Xiao Chenguang and the three of them seemed to be integrated into one body at this moment, each playing an irreplaceable role in this rescue work.

Large blisters are aspirated, disinfected with iodophor, and covered with gauze pads to protect the wound...

Soon, with the concerted efforts of medical staff, the injured was debrided.

Handle the wounded patient gently and put him on the stretcher. At this time, 120 has already taken a detour and rushed over.

"Tell the driver and get ready to go back to the hospital."

Just as Xiao Chenguang and others were preparing to take the 120 back to Shengli Hospital, a raging fire broke out again in the compound not far away.

The entire building was swallowed up in an instant, and the thick smoke mixed with the pungent smell was like the end of the world, making people fearful.

Cough cough cough!

"The fire was too big. It burned instantly without giving anyone a chance to react."

Xiao Chenguang endured the discomfort in his lungs and looked at the blazing fire in front of him.

Fortunately, it was noon now. When the leak appeared, people in the whole building had already started to flee.

If it was at night, the residents were all asleep, and the casualties would be difficult to estimate.

Even if the fire was burning fiercely now, it was nothing more than some financial losses. As long as people were still there, everything could start over.

However, at this moment, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from the street.

A woman stumbled to the door of the burning compound.

"Congcong!"

Her hair was disheveled and her face was terrified. Because she rushed here in a hurry, even one of her shoes was lost.

She looked at the fire upstairs and was terrified. The scorching temperature made it difficult for her to go any further.

It seemed that in the next second, she would fall into the endless flames.

"Please, who can save my son? He is still upstairs and has not come out."

The woman shouted loudly. After a moment, the safety of the child overcame the fear in her heart. She was like crazy, ready to run into the blazing compound.

The compound was filled with black smoke, like a devil with a huge crocodile in its mouth, waiting for its prey to come.

It was dark inside, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. If you forced your way in, you would undoubtedly be courting death.
