Chapter 245
Wang Jingang had fallen asleep at this time, and Xia Tao stayed by the bed without leaving.
Xiao Chenguang walked into the ICU, greeted Xia Tao, looked up at the time on the wall, it was already midnight, and signaled Xia Tao to go back and rest, he was on duty in the ICU.
After all, Xia Tao was almost fifty years old, and couldn't stand the night, and his eyelids drooped when he left.
After seeing Xia Tao off, Xiao Chenguang pulled a chair over as usual and sat by Wang Jingang's bed.
Looking at the stable vital signs on the monitor, Lao Wang's recovery was faster than expected.
The drainage tube in the upper right abdomen has been removed, and he can walk normally today, and the rehabilitation exercises of his hands are also proceeding in an orderly manner.
It will probably be transferred to the general ward for recuperation soon.
At this time, there were four beds in the small ICU, and two were empty.
Both the previous instructor Yang and the injured doctor Li have been transferred to the general ward.
The only remaining patients who were seriously injured and burned in the fire are still living in the small ICU.
The situation is much better than before, and they have passed the critical period.
Gong Liang has been taking care of this patient. As long as Xiao Chenguang does not go out, he will come to see him in person every day after get off work.
The most difficult thing now is the daily dressing change and disinfection.
And the growth of new skin.
The feeling of ants crawling and burning, itching and painful, makes the patient miserable.
But there is no way, the recovery period of burn patients is very long, especially for large-area burns like this. It is already very good to be able to save a life from the sea of fire.
"Director Xiao, are you here?"
The voice sounded, it was Wang Jia, the nurse on duty in the small ICU tonight.
When she saw Xiao Chenguang, her sleepy expression disappeared instantly.
The joy in her eyes was hard to conceal.
"Wang Jia, are you on duty tonight?"
The moment she saw Wang Jia, Xiao Chenguang felt a little relaxed.
If nothing else, Wang Jia's monitoring experience and professional level are very high.
Although she is young, she is outstanding in observing and treating the condition.
With her around, Xiao Chenguang can sleep well tonight.
"Yes, Director Xiao, you are here. I have a few questions to ask you about the observation of the condition of patients with type 2 respiratory failure that you told me last time."
Wang Jia came to Xiao Chenguang, and the small notebook that he always kept in his hand was already on the table.
There were many knowledge points densely recorded on it.
There were one or two questions circled in red and marked next to them.
Every time Xiao Chenguang came, Wang Jia would ask him some questions about intensive care.
Although Xiao Chenguang is a general surgeon, his experience in critical care is even richer than that of internal medicine doctors.
This is also the reason why Dean Li chose to let Xiao Chenguang stay when Wang Jingang was injured.
"These questions, in fact, you will understand when there are patients coming to hospital, but now I can also talk to you."
Xiao Chenguang took a look and found that they were all very common sense questions.
But this is only relative to Xiao Chenguang. At this moment, Wang Jia is like a curious baby, standing in place, leaning forward, looking like he is asking for advice humbly.
"Director Xiao, I benefit a lot from working with you every time. Please consider my suggestion last time."
After the explanation, Wang Jia felt like drinking nectar, and his sleepiness was swept away.
"It's useless for me to consider it. It depends on the arrangement of the hospital."
Xiao Chenguang smiled. Every time Wang Jia finished the class, he would excitedly suggest that he come to the small intensive care unit as the director.
"We can make suggestions together. Look, most of the patients in the small intensive care unit recently are your patients, Director Xiao."
"Every day during the rounds, you also come to take a look without fail, and you also have to come to take a look after get off work in the evening."
"Sometimes, I feel that the small intensive care unit should be renamed directly, called the surgical intensive care unit, or the general surgical intensive care unit."
Wang Jia joked with a smile, but Xiao Chenguang was stunned.
It seems that what Wang Jia said makes some sense.
The frequency of his clocking in at the small ICU is comparable to the frequency of his duty in the general surgery department.
Or he can ask Dean Li to let him take on the duties of the director of the emergency department and the small ICU.
Anyway, since he is here, it doesn't matter if he has to work one or two departments.
Just after 12 o'clock, Xiao Chenguang, who was a little bit exhausted, was chased by Wang Jia to the duty room to rest.
Looking at the brand new sheets and quilts, Wang Jia must have changed them during his time seeing patients.
Xiao Chenguang shook his head helplessly, and took off his white coat without being pretentious, and fell asleep.
Nothing happened that night, and Xiao Chenguang slept soundly.
It was not until the shift was about to be handed over that he was gently awakened by Wang Jia.
His head was a little heavy, as if he was not fully awake yet, but seeing Wang Jia's slightly swollen dark circles under his eyes, Xiao Chenguang felt a little embarrassed.
"You stayed up all night?"
"It's normal to work."
Although he stayed up all night, Wang Jia was in good spirits except that his face looked a little worse.
I don't know if it's because Xiao Chenguang is here, but it seems that the sun is particularly bright today.
I walked around the small ICU again, and the burned patient has woken up.
He was full of gratitude for Xiao Chenguang's treatment. The emergency cut on his neck has healed.
Although his voice is still a little hoarse, he can still speak.
I encouraged him a few words and looked at the patient's skin condition. There are fewer places with purulent ulcers, and the infection index is not high. As for the later skin grafting problem, it is still a long process.
You can't be impatient, and you can't be impatient.
At the other end of the ICU, Wang Jingang had gotten up early and started exercising.
The flexibility of his fingers was a little better than before, and even the numbness and swelling had been alleviated a lot, which gave Wang Jingang hope of recovery.
After a brief chat, Xiao Chenguang left the ICU until the nurses took over.
When he returned to the general surgery department for rounds, he saw the patients who had surgery yesterday. Several of them were able to walk, especially the patient with a bad liver last night, who was now sitting quietly by the bed and chatting with his family members.
This amazed the family members in other wards.
The patient who was in a coma last night was dying, but Director Xiao went on stage to perform surgery in the middle of the night, and woke up when he came back, and can still communicate with people now.
It was incredible.
In the eyes of the family members full of respect and admiration, Xiao Chenguang ended this round.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, the weather began to get cold.
The hot and irritating weather disappeared, and now there is more alternation between hot and cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is getting bigger and bigger.
The number of patients in the respiratory department has also increased, and the emergency department is even more crowded with people with colds and fevers, queuing up for injections.
From time to time, some patients with stomach upset and acute gastroenteritis also squeeze into the emergency department.
That night, Xiao Chenguang just came out of the small intensive care unit and received a consultation call from the emergency department.
The caller was the nurse on duty in the emergency department tonight, Gu Ting.
"Acute abdomen? Okay, I'll go over and take a look."
The surgeon on duty in the emergency department happened to be on duty. He heard that Gu Ting seemed to have something to hide on the phone, and it seemed that there were insults and dissatisfaction coming from the other end, which made Xiao Chenguang speed up and run to the emergency department.
