Chapter 3141
Zheng Renxian lightly covered the patient's wound with gauze; this was merely a psychological comfort and could also help avoid infection to some extent.
Usually the chance to see someone bleeding and spitting blood foam at the same time is slim, yet I never expected to run into this at the branch bureau gate. Zheng Ren then took off his gloves, asked the emergency department doctor to open a bottle of saline, and washed his hands.
Afterwards, he picked up his phone and dialed Fang Lin's number.
"A patient with a ruptured trachea, mediastinal emphysema, and subcutaneous emphysema—just push them straight from the emergency department to you; pre-op prep can be done on the table." After the call connected, Zheng Ren said directly.
"Boss, Fang Lin is no longer the inpatient chief." Su Yun said helplessly.
Zheng Ren stared for a moment, then recalled that Fang Lin had already been working in the inpatient chief position when he himself first came to Di Du over a year ago. It's really been over a year now, so this phone call of his was a bit abrupt.
However, Fang Lin agreed right away on the phone, with no thought of refusing.
"Fang Lin said he'd wait for me at the emergency department; I don't know when he stopped being the inpatient chief." Zheng Ren said after hanging up.
Su Yun didn't argue either; it's just a patient with a ruptured trachea—go up and suture it, and that's it.
"Boss, are you coming up with us?"
"I'm just going up to take a look; I'm not going to perform the surgery."
"Tsk, just tag along."
"..." Zheng Ren frowned, "What about the rescue? Don't drive, be serious."
"Tch, nothing's wrong." Su Yun glanced at the patient; he was struggling to breathe, the pain from the neck incision seemed unimportant, a third of the inhaled air escaped, but the remainder could still participate in oxygen exchange.
At least for now, the patient's condition is still under control.
"This guy's luck is really good!" Su Yun praised, "I now Doubt he ran straight into the police station because his life wasn't meant to end."
"Wouldn't it be better not to steal anything?" Zheng Ren said lightly.
"How can you be so willing to argue!" Su Yun said disdainfully, "If he had run elsewhere and this situation occurred, even if he called 120 three to five Minute later and was sent to the hospital, he would be brain dead; afterwards, even if rescued, he'd be a vegetative state. Speaking of which, such severe subcutaneous emphysema is really rare; once I was the second assistant..."
Officer Hao was also in the car; regarding the matter of performing surgery, Su Yun also knew she shouldn't speak, so she kept her mouth shut.
"Doctor Zheng, Doctor Su, he's okay, right?" Officer Hao asked.
"He should be fine; I've already contacted the hospital. Once there, we'll push him straight to the ward for pre-op prep. Hurry up and get on the table, open the chest and suture—it'll be done." Su Yun said.
Looking at the man blurred with flesh and blood, Officer Hao was somewhat dazed.
Doctor Su said it so lightly, just go up and suture…… This doesn't seem to match what he sees before his eyes.
The robber before him was already at death's door; if he hadn't personally seen his neck inflate like a blown balloon, and then Doctor Zheng cut it open to 'release air', he would surely have thought this was a beating, possibly even with an abusive nature.
The Emergency Rescue Service vehicle sped all the way with sirens blaring to the Emergency Department of 912.
The gurney was already waiting at the door; in the shortest time they put the man on the gurney. Fang Lin felt a subcutaneous snow-like sensation in the neck, only lacking the terrifying sensory experience of a blown balloon.
"Zheng Lao Ban, Yun Ge'er, where did you pick up this patient?" Fang Lin asked while pushing the gurney, running all the way.
He didn't directly ask about the condition; three small skin incisions were made to release air, and after doing this procedure, the person would surely be fine for a while. Zhou Litao carried the ECG Monitor onto the vehicle, took the Elevator, and nurses fumbled to attach the ECG Monitor.
Vital signs were fairly stable; as long as they got to the Operating Room, there wouldn't be much trouble.
After seeing the vital signs, Su Yun laughed and recounted what she had seen at the Branch Bureau. Fang Lin also listened, dumbfounded, thinking this guy must have a brain problem. Or maybe it was his first robbery, he was too Tension, causing him to run in the wrong direction.
But he still needed to be saved; as for whether he should be handcuffed to the hospital bed or whatever, naturally the police comrades would decide. As long as he could be discharged, he would be. What awaited him was deep imprisonment.
"Boss, if you're not going up, I will." Su Yun, eager to get her hands dirty, said with a grin, not holding back.
"Go ahead. The Shou Bing isn't big, I'm not interested. Since we happened to run into this, I'll just take it easy." Zheng Ren said.
Lin Ge isn't here, so we can speak frankly.
The air in the Operating Room is sweet to Zheng Ren; at least here his mental strength won't drop so quickly.
Pre-op preparation was quick; after entering the Operating Room, the anesthesiologist began anesthesia. Fang Lin reminded about single-lung ventilation, then went to scrub hands with Su Yun.
Zheng Ren performed a Fiber Bronchoscope on the patient, confirming that at a point 2 cm above the tracheal carina, on the right side of the tracheal wall where the cartilage ring meets the membranous part, there is a rupture about 2 cm long, with a small amount of blood inside the trachea.
Afterwards he removed the equipment, pulled over a small round stool and sat quietly in the corner of the Operating Room, leaning against the wall. It was a little cool, but still quite comfortable. No matter what, being able to sit in the Operating Room is infinitely better than awkwardly chatting with everyone in the Branch Bureau.
Passing anesthetists, nurses, and Zheng Ren greeted him twice; everyone was busy with their own work. Zheng Lao Ban appearing in the Operating Room was completely normal, and no one paid attention.
The circulating nurse was obviously busy; Fang Lin had already finished laying the first layer of drapes on this side before she hurriedly rushed in.
"Sister Zou, where did you go? Diarrhea?" Fang Lin asked, wearing a sterile surgical gown and smiling.
This is the normal atmosphere in the Operating Room; anyway, the patient just looks frightening, but doctors and nurses know that opening the chest and stitching it up is all that's needed, the surgery isn't difficult, so they speak in a relaxed tone.
"Don't mention it, I'm handling two Shujian alone, I'm run off my feet." The circulating nurse sighed, then started hurriedly checking counts with the instrument nurse.
Fang Lin was stunned; normally, one person handling two Shujian only happens when the original circulating nurse suffers an Acute Illness.
"But that's not something easy to ask, so he then asked Zheng Ren, \"Yun Ge'er, right side. \""
"The position is all set, you want to open the left chest?" Su Yun retorted.
"Isn't this just to double-check?"
"It's on the right side, 2 cm above the tracheal carina, where the right tracheal wall cartilage ring meets the membrane." Zheng Ren repeated.
"Alright, small job, done in half an hour." Fang Lin replied cheerfully.
Prepare the electrocautery and Suction Device, adjust the power, then start.
Su Yun wielded the knife, the 15 cm incision precise to the millimeter. He cut layer by layer through skin and subcutaneous tissue, achieved hemostasis, and the Shou Bing proceeded smoothly.
