This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!
Chapter 104 Another Rescue!
However, before Zhou Cheng could take a few steps, a piercing sound suddenly came from the emergency room behind him—the emergency alarm of the electrocardiogram monitor.
Immediately following was Fang Hang's urgent shout: "Zhou Cheng! Come back quickly! Something's happened to the patient!"
Zhou Cheng's heart sank. Without hesitation, he turned around and ran towards the emergency room.
As soon as I rushed to the door, I saw that the inside was already in complete chaos.
The girl on the hospital bed was convulsing, her limbs were stiff and curled up, her eyes were rolled back, and a small amount of white foam was oozing from the corner of her mouth.
It's clearly an epileptic seizure!
Meanwhile, on the monitor next to him, the heart rate number was jumping wildly, dropping from 72 beats per minute to below 50.
It kept sliding down, and in the blink of an eye, it reached 45 times per minute.
The red alarm light flashed incessantly with the sound, each blink gripping everyone's hearts.
"The patient is having an epileptic seizure! Accompanied by bradycardia!" Fang Hang had already rushed to the bedside, holding down the patient's convulsing limbs to prevent her injury, while shouting to Zhou Cheng, "Her heart rate is 45! Her blood oxygen is also dropping!"
The family members standing by panicked completely. The woman who had just been throwing a tantrum rushed to the bedside, her voice cracking.
"My child! My child! What happened? Please save her!"
The man, no longer as forceful as before, grabbed Zhou Cheng's arm, his face pale, and pleaded, "Dr. Zhou, please, you must save her!"
"Family members, get out of the way! Keep the emergency access open!" Zhou Cheng shook off the man's hand and shouted in a deep voice.
At that moment, he had no time to think about any "dismissal plan"; all he could see was the patient's critical condition.
He rushed to the bedside and bent down to check on the patient's condition.
Loss of consciousness, dilated pupils bilaterally with sluggish light reflex, and ongoing limb convulsions.
"Lin Ling, bring the emergency cart over immediately! Prepare 1 mg of atropine for intravenous injection!"
"Administer high-flow oxygen to the patient and establish a second intravenous access!"
"Senior, continue to immobilize the patient's limbs to prevent tongue biting. I'll monitor vital signs!"
A series of clear instructions came out of Zhou Cheng's mouth, and the previously chaotic emergency room instantly came into order.
Lin Ling rushed over with lightning speed and quickly opened the sterile pack.
Another nurse skillfully connected the oxygen supply device, adjusted the oxygen flow to the maximum, and at the same time picked up the tourniquet and needle, precisely establishing intravenous access in the patient's other arm.
Fang Hang then found a tongue depressor and carefully inserted it into the patient's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue during convulsions.
At the same time, firmly press down on the patient's shoulders and knees with both hands to prevent her from fracturing due to violent convulsions.
"Atropine 1mg is ready!" Lin Ling reported loudly, holding up the syringe.
Zhou Cheng nodded in agreement: "Intravenous injection, slow injection!"
His eyes were fixed on the monitor; his heart rate remained hovering at 43 beats per minute, showing no signs of improvement.
"The patient's convulsions have lasted for more than 3 minutes, posing a risk of status epilepticus!" Zhou Cheng frowned and gave the order, "Lin Ling, prepare another 10mg of diazepam, administer it slowly intravenously to control the seizures!"
Just then, Li Degang and Wang Jianming heard the alarm and rushed into the emergency room.
"What's going on?" Wang Jianming asked in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over the monitor and the convulsing patient, his expression instantly becoming extremely serious.
"Director Wang, the patient has suddenly experienced an epileptic seizure, accompanied by bradycardia (heart rate 43 beats/min). High-flow oxygen has been administered, and the first dose of atropine has just been injected. Prepare diazepam to control the convulsions!"
Zhou Cheng quickly reported the patient's condition, his hands never stopping as he listened to the patient's heart and lung sounds with a stethoscope.
Li Degang immediately moved to the other side of the patient, helping to stabilize Fang Hang's limbs, and said in a deep voice, "Continue to monitor heart rate and blood oxygen. Atropine may take time to take effect. If the heart rate still doesn't rise, prepare isoproterenol!"
Wang Jianming stood by, coordinating the operation: "Notify the cardiology and neurology departments for an urgent consultation! Have them send people over immediately! Lin Ling, do another blood gas analysis to check the acid-base balance and oxygenation!"
After a slow injection of diazepam, the patient's convulsions gradually subsided, changing from severe limb stiffness to mild tremors, but consciousness was still not restored.
The heart rate on the monitor finally started to rise slightly, slowly climbing to 48 beats per minute. Although it was still below the normal range, it finally stopped declining.
Zhou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief; fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead, and the front of his white coat was soaked.
Those few short minutes felt like a race against death, every second felt like a race against time.
He was completely absorbed in the rescue, with only one thought in his mind: to save the patient's life. His previous "resignation plan" had long been forgotten.
"Heart rate 48 beats/min, blood oxygen saturation 90%, improved after oxygen inhalation."
Lin Ling quickly reported the latest vital signs.
Zhou Cheng nodded, bent down to examine the patient's pupils with a flashlight, and said to Li Degang, "The convulsions are basically under control, but consciousness has not yet returned, and the pupillary light reflex is still sluggish. Atropine has taken effect, but the heart rate has not increased significantly, and continued medication may be needed to maintain it."
The family members standing nearby calmed down a little when they saw that the patient's convulsions had stopped, but they were still filled with panic.
The woman tugged at Fang Hang's sleeve, her voice trembling with tears, "Doctor, is my child alright? She was so frightening just now. We won't make a scene, we really won't, you have to save her!"
The man beside him nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with lingering fear. His previous tough stance of demanding a refund of the examination fee and threatening to file a complaint had completely vanished.
Fang Hang glanced at them, his tone softening slightly: "Don't worry, we're doing everything we can to save you. The most important thing right now is to keep quiet and not disturb our treatment."
On the other side, Zhou Cheng turned around and began to give instructions to Chen Xi and Li Yang.
"You all take turns monitoring the monitors and report your heart rate and blood oxygen levels every so often. Tell me immediately if there are any changes. I'll coordinate with the cardiologists and neurologists and have them come over as soon as possible."
Just as Zhou Cheng reached the door of the emergency room, he ran into Liu Chi, a neurologist, and Li Yaping, a cardiologist, who had rushed over.
"How is the patient?" Liu Chi asked anxiously.
"Sudden onset of epileptic seizure, controlled with diazepam, currently not regaining consciousness, accompanied by bradycardia, with a minimum heart rate of 43 beats/min, which rose to 48 beats/min after atropine injection."
Zhou Cheng gave a quick report, his tone concise and clear.
"We suspect that the central nervous system lesion may have affected the cardiovascular center, but the specific cause is still unclear. The cerebrospinal fluid test was normal."
"Let's go see the patient first!" Dr. Li Yaping nodded, and the three of them quickly walked into the emergency room.
