Chapter 126 High Altitude Pulmonary Edema

But now is not the time to blame himself, Lin Yi saw the 8th squad leader frowning from time to time, and quickly thought of a way.

By the way, don't I still have three inventions that are useless, and if I add them all to medical treatment, wouldn't I be able to understand the body of the 8th squad leader?

"System, all three invention points are added to medical skills."

Ding, medical skills +3
Medical: 3 points (already have medical skills comparable to senior attending physicians).

Rao Lin Yi didn't quite understand the division of doctors' professional titles. He also knew that the attending physician was a middle-level professional title in the hospital, which was not a high-level professional title.

But this is also very satisfying to Lin Yi, the three inventions are worth more than ten years of study.

It's already against the sky.

Suddenly Lin Yi saw red dots flashing on the lungs of squad leader No. 8. Could this be a lung injury?

But the red dot was not very strong, so it shouldn't be a particularly serious illness. Suddenly, five words appeared in Lin Yi's mind, 'High Altitude Pulmonary Edema'.

Lin Yi swears that he has never been exposed to this word before, but the word appeared in his mind, which means that the medical skills are working.

Then another line of words appeared in my mind, which can be prevented by inhaling hyperbaric oxygen and injecting dexamethasone.

It's worth noting here that these things can only be prevented.

Then there was another line, furosemide can prevent lung infection.

After Lin Yi finished reading, he immediately ran to the medicine box, and then searched for the medicines. He had looked through the medicine box before, but he had no impression of these two medicines. It is estimated that most of them did not have such medicines.

Then another line of words appeared in his head, dexamethasone and furosemide are prescription drugs.

Seeing the words "prescription medicine", Lin Yi's heart was completely cold. There is no prescription medicine in the outpost, and only the health team in the regiment can get prescription medicine.

This is not dehumanization, but for the people at the outpost, who cannot correctly understand their own condition, naturally they cannot take prescription drugs at will.

In fact, even the squad leader of No. 8 only knew that he was inhaling too much cold air, and that his lungs might have problems.

But in this way, he didn't even think about looking for medicine to take, unless antibiotics like amoxicillin and cephalosporin are better, even if there are other antibiotics, no one dares to take them casually.

Lin Yi took a cephalosporin and wondered if he should send it to the monitor of No. 8. The cephalosporin is an antibiotic, and it is not good to take too much antibiotics.

The system showed that although the lungs of squad leader 8 had turned red, they hadn't completely become serious. Lin Yi's intuition told Lin Yi that it was too early to take antibiotics, and it might be more effective to take them tomorrow morning.

So he put down the cephalosporin and only took a tank of oxygen.

Deputy squad leader Zhu was not too surprised to see Lin Yi coming in with an oxygen tank. After all, the plateau is hypoxic, and the oxygen storage in the outpost is sufficient, so it is normal to inhale some oxygen.

However, when Lin Yi handed the oxygen tank directly to the squad leader, he smiled: "Platoon Leader Lin, our squad leader is a famous plateau master. I have never seen him inhale oxygen. You can keep the oxygen for yourself. Bar."

Unexpectedly, squad leader 8 actually picked it up, picked it up and sucked it twice.

Vice-squad leader Zhu was stunned by this scene. He rubbed his eyes to make sure that the person sitting in front of him was the squad leader. His mind froze suddenly, and the squad leader actually breathed oxygen?I haven't seen it at all.

After Squad 8 finished inhaling, he looked at Lin Yi with pleading eyes, Lin Yi knew that Squad 8 didn't want everyone to worry, so he nodded, "This search mission is too tiring, everyone should supplement oxygen appropriately. "

When deputy squad leader Zhu heard this explanation, he immediately understood that it was the squad leader who gave platoon leader Lin face to breathe oxygen.

But if you think about it, the platoon leader Lin is indeed a man, and the squad leader will definitely give him face if he follows us to find someone in such a big snowstorm.

So he also smiled and said: "Squad leader, give me two breaths of the oxygen tank as well. Going out this time consumes too much energy, and I will recover quickly."

Squad leader 8 smiled and handed the oxygen tank to Deputy Squad Leader Zhu, then got up and walked out, "Platoon Leader Lin, let's go to the conference room to hand over work."

Lin Yi nodded, and followed Squad 8 into the conference room. Before Squad 8 could speak, Lin Yi said: "I have learned a little medical skills, so I can preliminarily conclude that you have high altitude pulmonary edema. We don't have this kind of disease at the outpost. Medicine can cure it, take a cephalosporin tomorrow morning, if you still cough, you can only rely on breathing more oxygen."

When squad leader 8 heard about the high-altitude pulmonary edema, he exhaled, "Actually, I can also guess that it's probably this kind of disease. I've breathed too much air-conditioning today."

"But it's okay. After the blizzard, the road will be cleared in a day. At that time, the border guards will pick up people, and I will follow. The health team in the regiment is very good at treating this disease, and it can be cured in two weeks. .”

High-altitude pulmonary edema is a common disease. When the Qinghai-Tibet Highway was built in the last century, the incidence rate of this disease among workers was 9.8%, which is equivalent to one in ten people.

Because it is a common disease, the frontier defense regiment has conducted research and treatment specifically for this disease, and summed up a set of treatment methods suitable for the army, and the effect is quite obvious.

At this time, squad leader 8 was sitting on the chair, and his breathing gradually became more rapid, which seemed to be getting worse. Seeing this, Lin saw that he immediately took out another can of oxygen and handed it over, "If you feel uncomfortable, take two breaths. Enough, the problem will not be too big."

Squad 8 did not answer this time, "Oxygen is a kind of combat preparation for us here, so let's keep it for now. My body knows it by itself, and nothing major will happen for the time being."

Lin Yi shoved the oxygen tank into the hands of squad leader No. 8, "Don't think about these problems, we still have a lot of oxygen storage, what are you worried about? Even if you keep breathing for a week, you won't be able to finish it at all. "

Squad leader 8 is still unwilling to inhale, and looks out of the conference room from time to time. Lin Yi knows that squad leader 8 is worried about inhaling too much oxygen, and everyone will be worried when they notice it.

So I stood up, dragged a large tank of oxygen from the supply room into the single room, then returned to the meeting room, looked at the 8th squad leader, "You will stay in the single room to inhale oxygen for the past two days, with the support of oxygen, your lungs Internal problems should not be too serious."

"Don't tell me that you are afraid that people will worry about such things after they find out. You are not fools. They can tell at a glance whether you are healthy or not. Is it useful for you to hide it for a day? You can't wait for the border guards if you don't breathe oxygen. When the brigade comes to pick up people, you will cough and have difficulty breathing, and when these symptoms arise, everyone will be more worried.”

At the very least, I know some medical skills, and I can estimate that if you have been inhaling oxygen for the past two days, I can almost guarantee that when you leave with the border guards, there will be no big difference, at least you can go smoothly Leave so that no one becomes suspicious.
