Chapter 1093 Yes, it is acute epiglottitis!
"Alive! Saved! That's great!"
"Oh my god, a person who was clearly dead was brought back to life by that doctor!"
"It's amazing! This is a miracle doctor! We've come to the right place! We've come to the right place!"
There was a lot of joy in the emergency room. Not only the doctors and nurses around were happy, but also the patients and their families who came for treatment!
After seeing that the dying man was actually rescued, the shocked people's expressions all changed when they looked at Li Xiangnan!
That was a look that truly treated Li Xiangnan as a living Bodhisattva!
"Hanlin!"
At this time, the patient's family member who had been completely frightened and paralyzed by Li Xiangnan's behavior was also helped up by a strange patient next to him. He stood trembling and wanted to go to the bedside to see his family member!
But she was also afraid that she was worrying too much and interfering with the doctors' normal treatment process, so she dared to stay aside, holding on tightly to the iron frame where the instruments were placed to steady her body, with trembling legs, stretching her neck, sobbing and waiting.
"His artificial airway has been established!"
Li Xiangnan finally relaxed and was helped down from the bed by Wang Defa. "The infusion was interrupted. Let's inject cephalosporin antibiotics!"
"Okay, Dean!" Guo Fang nodded and immediately went to arrange it.
"Doctor, doctor, how is my family member...Is he considered to have survived a near-death experience?"
Seeing Li Xiangnan getting off the hospital bed, the woman trembled. She wanted to see her husband, but also wanted to find out what had happened to her man.
"We have just escaped the critical period! But we cannot let our guard down!"
Li Xiangnan nodded at her.
"Dean!"
Nurse Xiao Jing brought a clean towel to wipe his face. Another nurse immediately sprayed alcohol on his hands and brought a basin with water for him to wash his hands.
"doctor!"
Snap!
Hearing that her husband was no longer in danger, the woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xiangnan, "Doctor, thank you for saving my life! I really don't know how to thank you! Just now, I thought you..."
When she said this, a strong sense of guilt appeared in her eyes!
Just now, Li Xiangnan cut her husband's throat with a knife. The scene frightened her so much that she lost her mind, turned pale, and crashed into the tool rack beside her, almost paralyzed by fright.
At that time, she almost mistakenly thought that Li Xiangnan was dissatisfied with her husband's trouble and was taking revenge on him. She was angry and scared, but she was a woman and could not be strong. She did not dare to confront Li Xiangnan, who was in charge of so many people. She stood there at a loss.
But who knew that although Li Xiangnan slit her husband's throat, she was actually saving him.
Without his brave and decisive action just now, her husband might really have died!
Now that she understood everything, the woman felt very guilty for having misunderstood Li Xiangnan.
"Sister, the situation was so urgent just now, your husband could have died at any time! If our dean hadn't cut your husband's throat in time to find his trachea and perform artificial ventilation, what you are looking at now is your husband's corpse!"
Wang Defa wiped the blood from his face, neck and body as he spoke.
"Sister, we understand how you feel. We were also scared just now! But we know that the dean would never do anything rash. After calming down, we realized that only his race against time could truly save your husband! It's not too late for you to know now!" Fang Yu took off his white coat that was stained red and gave the woman a look that it was okay.
"Big sister! Get up!" Li Xiangnan and Zheng Qian had already gone over to pull the woman up. "It's a blessing in disguise! Fortunately, we made it in time!"
The woman's eyes were red, and she nodded hurriedly, "Yes, fortunately it's still in time! Otherwise, I don't know how I would face the rest of my life..."
"Big sister!" Li Xiangnan held her hand and asked softly, "Now we are focusing on the treatment of big brother's later stage. May I ask, big brother doesn't have diabetes or anything like that?"
"No...no!" The woman shook her head, her face full of confusion.
"Because what is going to be carried out next is the interventional treatment with glucocorticoids!" After getting the answer, Li Xiangnan also mentioned the next treatment in detail.
What he said actually reminded the woman.
"Doctor, what happened to my husband? He just caught a cold, how could he be in such a serious condition? And he has already been on IV drip to reduce the inflammation!"
"He doesn't have a cold!"
Li Xiangnan just shook his head.
Hearing this, many medical staff present turned their heads and looked over.
In fact, until now, everyone still has some doubts in their hearts.
So what exactly was wrong with this man that led to such a dangerous situation as acute suffocation?
A sore throat can cause death from suffocation?
Even a master doctor like Lei Jin who has been practicing medicine for decades has never seen such a thing!
Fang Yu was the doctor who received the emergency patient. Hearing this, he scratched his head with a puzzled look in his eyes. "Director, after the patient said he had a sore throat, I carefully examined his mouth and found that his tonsils were not inflamed. But this lady said he felt something in his throat. It's really strange. Isn't this a sore throat caused by a cold?"
"Really not!" Li Xiangnan smiled slightly, took off his bloody white coat and handed it to Guo Fang, "Because he has acute epiglottitis!"
"Acute epiglottitis?"
"Is there any disease in the epiglottis?"
"Hiss! Wait a minute, eh? I think I've figured it out a little bit!"
Fang Yu, Lei Jin and Wang Defa frowned instantly, thinking of the medical knowledge they had learned, and immediately began to analyze.
"Hey! I see!" Shi Sijun, who was wearing glasses, was the first to think of the trigger mechanism. "When the epiglottis swells, it will block the larynx and cause larynx obstruction!"
"Not bad!"
Li Xiangnan also nodded and explained: "When the epiglottis is highly swollen, the entrance to the throat will shrink linearly, and the swollen phlegm will block the glottis. At this time, it will be difficult to speak and even more difficult to breathe! Think about it, if there is suddenly a ball stuck in your throat, blocking your trachea and larynx, how would you feel?"
What is the epiglottis?
The structure below the throat is very similar to a branch. When you speak or breathe, the epiglottis moves upward to open the throat cavity.
When swallowing, the epiglottis moves downward to cover the trachea, preventing food or water from entering the trachea.
Don’t underestimate this thing, it is the key to your life!
After Li Xiangnan's explanation, everyone present understood and was impressed by his extraordinary judgment and superb medical reserves.
"Doctor, that's how it is! But how did my family member suffer from this acute epiglottitis?" The woman couldn't help but become curious again.
Li Xiangnan turned his head and looked at the man on the bed. "Acute epiglottitis is generally not induced! If you want to know the reason, I'm afraid we have to wait until he wakes up completely and ask him what he has been exposed to recently!"
The woman remained silent, but still gave him a look of great gratitude.
"Brother Lei, Fang Yu, I'll leave this to you!" Wang Defa suddenly shouted, then patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go out and have a cigarette!"
Li Xiangnan smiled and followed him out. He was indeed a little nervous after all the trouble he had just gone through.
When I arrived at the door, the night in Yanjing had already fallen.
But Wang Defa's eyes were shining in the darkness.
"What do you think of letting me be the vice-president?"
