Chapter 1180 Because this thing is Cui Yin’s own sputum!
Nianwei Hospital, inside the operating room.
It was all serious.
Today's surgeons are Li Xiangnan and Fang Yu, both of whom are emergency general practitioners. Their physical conditions give them an advantage in handling extremely difficult minor surgeries such as those on the throat.
Shi Sijun from the Department of Internal Medicine and Wang Defa from the Department of Surgery acted as assistants, one as an instrument and the other as a support.
At this moment, the unconscious Cui Yin has been rescued by everyone, and is being given an intravenous anesthetic to put her into a state of consciousness but anesthesia!
Under normal circumstances, it is possible to perform this kind of surgery while the patient is in a coma, but Cui Yin is too young and has had symptoms of pneumonia for more than two months, so it is too dangerous.
Because Cui Yin's entire lung has turned white, she can now only rely on the remaining half of her right lung to breathe. This has brought tremendous pressure to her right lung, and edema must have occurred long ago!
If the lung ruptures during the operation, and the patient is in a coma, her physiological reaction cannot be detected immediately, which will bring instability to the operation.
She was awake, and everyone could judge the effect of anesthesia and the body's instinctive feedback during the operation by her facial expressions or any discomfort in her body.
"Let's start!" After the anesthetic effect began to take effect, Wang Defa turned his head and reminded.
"Guo Fang, cooperate with Dr. Shi and provide mechanical ventilation. Dr. Fang and I will go in!" Li Xiangnan turned around and reminded everyone to take their positions.
"Okay!" Several people nodded.
"Lao Fang, are you ready?" Li Xiangnan raised his head and looked across.
"No problem!" Fang Yu reached out and used the forceps to quickly open Cui Yin's mouth, then nodded grimly, "Let's get started!"
"Okay!" Li Xiangnan pinched the front end of the bronchoscope and began to insert it into Cui Yin's mouth, reminding everyone: "Our goal is to quickly find out the cause of her white lung. If I guess correctly, the upper end of her bronchus is blocked. I will clip out the thing and send it to the laboratory quickly!"
"Got it!" a nurse replied immediately.
"Blood oxygen is normal, blood pressure is normal!"
While Li Xiangnan was operating, Wang Defa also had to keep giving numerical reminders.
This is a very necessary link.
If Cui Yin showed any decrease in blood oxygen concentration or arrhythmia, Li Xiangnan would have to immediately stop the bronchoscopy operation and instead provide Cui Yin with high-concentration mechanical oxygen.
Otherwise, Cui Yin would die from lack of oxygen during the operation due to Li Xiangnan's operation.
The operating room was silent, with no extra chat other than these professional titles.
All medical staff did not use different surgical methods on Cui Yin because of her nationality. They treated her the same as ordinary Chinese people.
On the contrary, because Cui Yin is a Malaysian, everyone present treated the operation more cautiously.
"hiss!"
At this time, Li Xiangnan, who had been staking out for more than ten minutes, suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone turned their heads to look unconsciously, and their hair stood up instantly.
Sweat was dripping from the back of Li Xiangnan's head like rain. Although it was wiped off urgently by the nurse, sweat stains were still left behind.
"I'm going to retreat!" Li Xiangnan suddenly said.
"Where are we now? We have just touched the bronchus, what have you discovered?" Fang Yu was very confused. He saw that Li Xiangnan's forehead was covered in sweat, which made him feel even more unbelievable.
"Wait a moment!" Li Xiangnan shook his head at him, "Xiao Si, give me oxygen!"
"Yes!" Shi Sijun immediately shouted: "Guo Fang, increase the pressure by 0.1 MPa!"
"Yes!"
Everyone was reporting the values, some were operating the oxygen, and some were cooperating with Li Xiangnan in raising the bronchoscope, and they were working in full swing.
"Ouch!"
But when Li Xiangnan took the bronchoscope out of Cui Yin's mouth, everyone was still shocked!
"what is this?"
A soft cry came out of the little nurse's mouth, and then she covered her mouth.
Wang Defa, Fang Yu, Shi Sijun, Guo Fang and other nurses present were all dumbfounded!
Suddenly, a milky white strip that had never been seen before appeared in the small clip under Li Xiangnan's bronchoscope. It was four centimeters long and about one millimeter in diameter.
A horrified thought appeared in the eyes of each nurse. They looked at each other, and no one dared to say the answer.
Wang Defa saw Li Xiangnan observing the things on the plate and said, "Dean, this can't be a new type of parasite? Why is it so big? Where is its head and tail? How did it get into this child's lungs?"
Li Xiangnan did not speak, but looked at the milky white object in the waste tray with a frown.
This thing looked very much like the cheese he had eaten before, but more like a branch-shaped jelly!
He knew what it was.
"Go get some water!" He suddenly waved his hand.
"Go quickly, Nurse Guo!" Wang Defa waved his hand quickly.
When Guo Fang ran out of the door with a puzzled look on her face, and then came back in to hand it to Li Xiangnan, everyone gathered around.
"Dean, what is this?" Wang Defa racked his brains but couldn't figure out what this thing was.
Li Xiangnan asked Guo Fang to pour the water into the waste tray.
Then everyone's brows furrowed.
The milky white object that had just shriveled suddenly expanded a little after coming into contact with water, becoming fuller and more translucent!
"Hiss, why does this thing look so familiar?" Wang Defa took a closer look, and the more he looked, the more confused he became.
Li Xiangnan picked it up with tweezers and took a look, and confirmed: "Because this thing is Cui Yin's own sputum!"
"???"
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly everyone lost confidence.
“Is phlegm solid?”
Because in the impression of all medical staff, sputum is the secretion of the human body, it is liquid!
But it's not like now, where Li Xiangnan can still pick it up with tweezers.
Isn't this subverting their cognition?
Shi Sijun was an internal medicine doctor, and he himself was stunned. "Took out the phlegm stick from this child? How is this possible!"
But the facts were right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.
Fang Yu seemed to remember something, and quickly ran to the side to get Cui Yin's CT scan, and looked at the surface of her lungs under the illumination of the shadowless lamp.
Finally, he lowered his head in shock and looked at Li Xiangnan.
"Lao Fang, what are you doing? What are you looking at?" Shi Sijun snatched the CT from his hand and looked up, imitating him.
"stop looking!"
Wang Defa frowned and said seriously, "If my guess is correct, the left half of this child's lung is full of this stuff, right?"
"What? How is that possible!" Shi Sijun said in disbelief.
Fang Yu's face was grim as well. "Then how does this child breathe? With only the remaining half of his lung?"
After he said this, his expression became even lighter. "No, Dean, there is so much solid phlegm in her lungs. This...what should we do? How do we get it out?"
Shi Sijun couldn't help but feel anxious, "What kind of disease is this? Fortunately, we discovered it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
Li Xiangnan turned his head and looked at the thin girl on the hospital bed.
Everyone's eyes turned back.
"This thing is called a phlegm plug! This is the result of her parents using cough suppressants to forcibly seal the phlegm in her body!"
"???"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
