Chapter 1090 I… am… going… to… die!
“Ah… cough cough cough… um… ah…”
There were sounds of violent struggle coming from the direction of the emergency room, and the frequent thumping of bodies falling on the beds was incessant.
The man's screams, as he used all his strength, continued to reach Li Xiangnan's ears.
Before he even went downstairs, a hint of doubt had already arisen in his heart.
Listening to the sound, it sounded very much like the symptoms of difficulty breathing, and it was indeed as the young nurse who came in to report the news said, it was very similar to the feeling of suffocation.
"Xiao Jing, how long has the patient been brought in?" Li Xiangnan rushed downstairs quickly, asking about the situation on the way.
"He just came in about ten minutes ago!" The nurse named Xiao Jing quickly answered and explained: "His family said he had a cold!"
"cold?"
Hearing this judgment, Li Xiangnan frowned subconsciously.
Choking caused by a cold?
Is there phlegm in the respiratory tract?
Causes pneumonia by blocking the bronchi?
As a doctor, you need to be able to judge the patient's condition based on the information you collect and by using the methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation.
Li Xiangnan, who ran to the emergency room, had already formed an impression of the patient's underlying illness in his mind.
"Wow, wuwu, doctor, what's wrong with him...what's wrong?"
The operating room of the emergency room was filled with busy doctors and nurses. There was also a woman in her thirties who was clutching her chest and jumping anxiously beside the bed.
Several male interns were trying their best to hold down the man on the bed, while Fang Yu was adjusting the infusion bottle and preparing to give the patient an infusion.
Li Xiangnan ran to the bedside and took a look.
A middle-aged man in his forties was lying on the hospital bed with blue veins on his head. He would arch his body like a shrimp from time to time and scratch his throat constantly. His whole face was red due to lack of oxygen.
There were two female nurses, one was putting an oxygen mask on the patient, and the other was adjusting the oxygen ratio.
For acute hypoxia symptoms like this, the oxygen concentration needs to be increased.
However, because the patient kept struggling, it was very difficult to give him oxygen or intravenous fluids.
"Is this pneumonia caused by a cold?" Li Xiangnan asked quickly.
Fang Yu turned around and saw it was him. He kept on giving the patient an IV and quickly explained, "The patient's family said that the patient had cold symptoms two days ago and had a sore throat. We confirmed it was a sore throat when the patient came just now! Occasionally there is a cough, but I listened to his lungs and there were no rales! First give him an IV of ceftriaxone for antibiotic treatment to stabilize his current underlying condition!"
After he finished speaking, the male intern doctor next to him had already held the patient's palm and directly gave the patient an infusion.
Judging from the current information, this judgment is correct.
"Brother Lei, perform a blood oxygen monitor and check his blood oxygen status!"
But Li Xiangnan felt that things were not that simple.
At this moment, fifteen minutes had passed since the patient entered the emergency room, and the patient lying on the bed had already developed cyanosis.
This is a manifestation of large areas of bluish purple on the mouth, nose, and lips, which can intuitively show that the patient is in a state of hypoxia!
This proves that the blood oxygen status in his body is extremely unsatisfactory!
After hearing Li Xiangnan's instructions, Lei Jin took the nurse to monitor the patient's blood oxygen without hesitation.
Fang Yu, who had already started the infusion, did not dare to leave. He reached out and asked several male doctors to hold the patient's hands tightly and fix them on the bed to prevent him from disrupting the normal process of infusion due to lack of oxygen and excitement.
"Blood oxygen 70!"
Soon, Li Xiangnan, who had been thinking in front of the bed, heard the numbers reported by Lei Jin.
70?
A normal person's blood oxygen saturation is above 95. The patient is now at this stage, which is an obvious state of severe hypoxia!
"wrong!"
Upon hearing this number, both Lei Jin and Fang Yu subconsciously looked at Li Xiangnan.
Anyone who has studied medicine knows what this number represents!
That means that the oxygen supply at this moment is of no effect!
After shouting that something was wrong, Li Xiangnan quickly moved closer to the bed and said, "The oxygen supply is not working. The oxygen is not entering his lungs!"
As soon as these words came out, the woman standing behind the medical staff felt her legs weaken. She asked in confusion, "Doctor, what happened to my family member? Why can't he breathe oxygen? Will he die if he can't breathe oxygen?"
If you can’t breathe oxygen, you will definitely die!
But now, no one has time to answer her question!
Suffocation due to lack of oxygen is one of the most horrible ways to die.
People will die in just a few minutes, with no room for maneuver!
If the cause of the disease is not found, even if the patient has stopped breathing and cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed, there is no way to save the patient!
At this moment, all the medical staff were worried.
"Brother, brother!"
Thinking of this, Li Xiangnan quickly stepped forward, pressed the patient's shoulder, turned his struggling head over, and asked seriously, "Besides the sore throat, do you have any other symptoms?"
"pain……"
The man just scratched his throat, exposing his neck which had been scratched with countless bloody marks by his nails, and pointed at it and shouted in pain.
Not hearing the answer he wanted, Li Xiangnan asked again: "Have you ever had phlegm before?"
He now also suspects that the patient has a cold that caused him to cough, and the phlegm that was not coughed out blocked his trachea, causing him to suffocate.
“……” The patient didn’t say anything, but just kept shaking his head.
Isn't the cough caused by choking on phlegm?
"Give me the stethoscope!" Li Xiangnan didn't quite believe it.
The patient is now in critical condition. If suffocation continues and the cause cannot be found, it will be extremely dangerous!
"Hold him down!"
The stethoscope was pressed against the patient's chest. In order to ensure that the sounds heard were only coming from inside his body, Li Xiangnan could only instruct everyone to use all their strength to hold the patient down.
The stethoscope head kept moving on the man's lungs, but Li Xiangnan's brows furrowed inch by inch.
Just as Fang Yu had judged, there were no rales in his lungs that could indicate pneumonia.
"Have you taken him to any other hospital before?"
Not hearing the answer he wanted, Li Xiangnan quickly put away the stethoscope and waved to the patient's family.
"Doctor, we've already been to the hospital, in the Second Hospital, and the doctor has given me an IV!"
The woman stopped crying, probably realizing that this was not the time to cry, and quickly told the family member's medical history.
"The doctor diagnosed it as a cold! But doctor, how could he be in such a bad condition even with a cold? He didn't get better even with intravenous drip!"
"Are you sure it's just the sore throat? Are there any other symptoms?" Li Xiangnan frowned and looked at the woman.
The woman scratched her head for a while, thought carefully, and then nodded heavily: "Yes, doctor..."
"what……"
Hurala!
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly roared, and sat up directly on the bed, pushing away everyone in front of him, violently pulling the IV tube, covering his throat with bloodshot eyes, gasping for breath, and shouting frantically: "I... am... going... to... die!"
The young nurse and the intern were pushed to the ground, and everyone was terrified by the man's crazy state.
Being in a near-death state is enough to make a person unleash amazing potential.
But at this critical moment, the man did somersaults frantically, and his body suddenly fell from the air like a leaf falling in the cold wind, and fell straight back on the hospital bed.
The hands that were covering his throat loosened, and the whole person stopped moving in an instant like a deflated ball.
"He's dead!" Fang Yu suddenly reached out and flipped over the patient's eyelids, shouting in panic.
The scene suddenly became silent!
