Back to 1999: From Operating Surgeon to Becoming a Top Doctor

Chapter 143

This was the first time Gong Liang had seen this level of physical cooling, and even he couldn't bear it.

Will the patient feel too cold with this blowing method? What if he catches a cold?

Just as Gong Liang felt uneasy, on the monitor, the patient's heart rate, which was still somewhat fast, actually dropped to the normal range.

This stunned Gong Liang.

He quickly felt the patient's skin temperature with his hands and found that it was no longer as hot as before.

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

"The patient's body temperature actually dropped to 37°C so quickly!"

Gong Liang stayed up all night and tried various methods, but could not lower the patient's body temperature. Xiao Chenguang actually solved the problem by using a Taipower fan.

"The effect is so good?"

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

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

"Director Xiao is still very good. When the patient came in, I took his temperature. Just one minute after I put the clamp on, the temperature was almost high. I didn't expect that the patient's temperature had dropped in such a short time."

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

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

If it doesn't work, use antipyretics.

But the patient in front of him had most of his skin missing, and he did not dare to use ordinary physical cooling methods.

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

How come an electric fan solves this big problem now?

Seeing their doubts, Xiao Chenguang gave a few simple explanations.

The skin is the largest body temperature dissipation organ in the human body.

Once damaged, heat cannot be dissipated through radiation, evaporation, etc., and persistent high heat will occur.

At this time, convection is needed to cool down.

In fact, teachers who have attended junior high school biology will teach you this knowledge.

It is also very simple to operate.

It's just that sometimes when we encounter difficult patients, many things are ignored when everyone is anxious.

Xiao Chenguang adjusted the electric fan's gear and moved his head left and right to cool down.

"As the handover continues, always pay attention to the patient's temperature. Once hypothermia occurs, physical cooling will be suspended."

The electric fan cannot blow all the time, and the actual condition of the patient needs to be observed.

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

This requires constant observation by medical staff.

There is no way around it. Patients with extensive burns do have all kinds of troubles when it comes to hospitalization.

It is also time-consuming and labor-intensive to process.

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

This is what medical staff should do.

"At this time, it would be nice to have a medical ice blanket."

Xiao Chenguang felt a little regretful.

The ice blanket he mentioned is also called a dual body temperature regulator, which can perform heating and cooling measures based on the patient's actual condition.

And it also has an intelligent control system, which can monitor the patient's temperature in real time as long as a thread is clamped in the armpit.

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

With a series of measures, the situation of patients with extensive burns finally improved.

Xiao Chenguang has also made plans for the next treatment, and the rest is to follow the procedure step by step.

"Director Xiao, the surgical patient is awake."

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

"Instructor, are you awake?"

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

After a few simple questions and a few follow-up training sessions, he found that the instructor's body had recovered better than he had imagined.

The physical fitness of a soldier is extraordinary.

I had just experienced a serious trauma and had a major Taiwan joint surgery. After just one night, I was able to follow the instructions.

Even the atelectasis and decreased diaphragm function that often occur after surgery have no symptoms on the instructor.

If he hadn't just undergone surgery for a pelvic fracture, Xiao Chenguang even thought that he would be transferred out of the small intensive care unit today.

very nice.

Xiao Chenguang encouraged the instructor a few more words, telling him to rest in peace and recuperate, and that his family would come to see him later.

Then Lin Gaoyang, who came early in the morning, took over from Xiao Chenguang.

The things that should be paid attention to were explained again. It was almost noon when I walked out of the custody room.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and Xiao Chenguang suddenly felt warm all over his body.

Since tomorrow is his first day at the specialist clinic, and there are still two seriously ill patients to guard in the small intensive care unit, Xiao Chenguang does 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 intensive care unit 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 realized that several major events had happened in Shengli Hospital in the past few days.

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

Whether it is the treatment of injuries in mass car accidents or the rescue of this on-site fire, Xiao Chenguang's role can be said to be unparalleled.

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 reporter of the city TV station was waiting here to find him.

Is there something wrong with the previous interview?

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

"It turned out to be a character interview."

Xiao Chenguang suddenly realized that he was familiar with this kind of interview in his previous life, and it can 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. At this moment, this was a good thing for him.

Expanding publicity can also better develop new technologies. Xiao Chenguang doesn't mind the city TV 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 started filming and recording his daily work.

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

After a day of nothing, Xiao Chenguang 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, and a film reading lamp hanging on the wall to facilitate the doctor's diagnosis.

Gradually, the doctors who were 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.

In particular, doctors in the same surgical department 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 that can be developed in the cardiovascular field 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."
