Chapter 79 Acute pulmonary edema
Open the curtain of the tent and go in. In the dim light, Tashi is supporting the old lady.

The old man is not young. He is 68 this year. Nima Zhandui is the youngest son in their family. He stayed and inherited the grassland. Most of the other children left Dangxiong to make a living outside.

Nima went up to take a look, and was also very anxious.

Originally, I thought it would be inconvenient for the old man to be alone at home, so I took him with me on the road, but I didn't expect that something would happen as soon as I got here.

Chen Xing also went over to take a look.

The old lady is panting like a cow and sweating profusely, obviously suffering from some kind of disease.

"Call 120 first." Chen Xing said.

Only then did Nima Zhandui react, and quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Chen Xing felt the old man's pulse, and asked Tashi: "Go and get a dry towel to wipe her sweat."

Wang Heng quickly said, "I'll go!"

Tashi was in a state of disorientation, crying and saying, "Elder-in-law walked in the same way back then, sweating profusely, saying that the eagle in the sky came to guide him."

Chen Xing secretly scolded feudal superstition in his heart, where there are so many leaders, it is not because of disease.

The pulse was fast and weak, and it was difficult to breathe... Chen Xing saw her face in pain, holding her chest with his left hand, and added in his heart, chest tightness.

Heart failure plus acute pulmonary edema?

He wasn't sure, there was nothing at the scene, so he could only draw such a conclusion first.

The skill of first aid is indeed very good, but Chen Xing really has no way to deal with the heart and brain diseases of the elderly, and he can't conjure up a hospital out of thin air.

"Help her sit up."

Chen Xing felt that it was probably pulmonary edema, but it was inconvenient to say, so he could only adjust the old man's position to let her breathe better.

In the face of any patient with dyspnea, you can let the patient sit on something, with your legs vertical to the ground, and do not do any other activities, which can reduce the burden on the patient's heart and lungs.

"Does she have any chronic illnesses?"

"I have high blood pressure and have been taking antihypertensive drugs."

"Is there any oxygen in the house?"

"Yes, the kind sold to tourists."

"Alright, you go get it."

Wang Heng who just ran back dropped the towel and said, "I'll get it."

He also wants to help, but he really doesn't understand medical matters, so he can only do what he can.

Chen Xing asked: "Grandma, do you remember me? Just pinch me if you remember me."

He held the old man's hand now, but nothing moved.

At this time the phone was connected, and Nima Zhandui said, "My family member is sick and needs an ambulance."

"We are in the north of Zhundi, near the county road. There are many yaks. We stand by the road and wait for you...have high blood pressure..."

Chen Xing said: "Patients have chest tightness, dyspnea, and unconsciousness. They are very critical. Let them hurry up."

Nima Zhandui started to speak Tibetan anxiously, but very cleverly handed the phone to Chen Xing.

"Hello, the patient is suffering from heart failure and respiratory failure, and has high blood pressure. The condition is not very good. Please let the ambulance go faster."

"Okay, we'll be there soon."

Chen Xing does not expect a professional emergency center in this kind of local hospital. Usually, the 120 operator notifies the local hospital after receiving the call, and then the local hospital departs by car. If you drive faster, the round-trip time is about one and a half hours.

After counting the time, Chen Xing's heart was really sinking.

Otherwise, don't encounter sudden illness on the grassland. The ambulance is so far away from the hospital, and there is still a chance for heart failure. If you encounter a myocardial infarction, you may have to prepare for the funeral.

Oxygen is coming.

While Chen Xing was doing what he could, he felt his pulse with one hand.

Now we can only resign ourselves to fate.

A long half hour.

Nima Zhandui looked at her mobile phone every minute or even less than a minute. Tashi cried a few times. Little Dolma cried when she saw her mother cry. Tsering Quzhen helped wipe sweat and ran Those who ran forward and backward helped a lot.

The condition did not continue to deteriorate, and then the sound of an ambulance was heard.

"It's finally here." Nima Zhandui hurried out to pick him up.

A minute later, two doctors in white coats came in with a bunch of things. They were not too young. Chen Xing said, "Get on the stretcher first, and I will definitely be sent to the hospital."

"Okay, you guys help carry it."

Nima Zhandui immediately nodded and said, "No problem."

Chen Xing watched them move the patient slowly and check the heart rate, feeling extremely anxious.In larger cities, first aid is done by young men in their prime. It is estimated that this kind of half-century old man can't do cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

When getting into the car, Chen Xing and Nima Zhan piled up.

He asked Chen Xing in a low voice: "My mother should be fine, right?"

"It's much better than before. As long as the disease can be cured, it's not serious."

One of the people with white hair looked at the electrocardiogram, looked at Chen Xing, and said, "A doctor?"

Chen Xing didn't refute, and said, "I know a little bit about Yuanqian."

The two doctors in the car turned to look at Chen Xing.

It's not that doctors don't know what's going on in the hospital, and when this kind of patient meets an emergency doctor, it's a professional match.

"No wonder it hasn't deteriorated in almost an hour. Your family is very lucky."

But luckily, when they received the call, they had an early warning in their hearts, thinking of coming here to do their best and obey the destiny, but now it seems that the situation is not bad, and the patient has received the most appropriate care.

Nima Zhandui touched his heart and took a quick breath.

He was about to have a heart attack.

Fortunately, I decided to thank Chen Xing for inviting him here today, otherwise I would not dare to think about the consequences.

"Thank you." He said sincerely.

"it's okay no problem."

Chen Xing stared at the two doctors who were intubated first, and then gave emergency medicines such as inotropes, furosemide and cedilan, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the emergency doctors here are not as bad as he thought, but they are really old. The ones are too big.

As he thought before, it is difficult to perform CPR for a long time when encountering shock patients.

He lay relaxed in the car.

Only then did I realize that I was exhausted, both mentally and physically.

Amid Nima Zhandui's prayers, the car drove into the county hospital.

After being admitted to the hospital, Chen Xing waited until the old man regained consciousness, and then he was completely relieved.

A sense of pleasure arises spontaneously.

The old man is still unable to speak, holding Chen Xing with one hand, Nima Zhandui also said with red eyes: "Thank you this time, Chen Xing, you have helped our family a lot, we will thank you."

"No need, anyone will do it if they have the ability."

Nima Zhandui sent Chen Xing out of the hospital, gave him a room, and hurried back to the hospital.

Wang Heng brought Tashi and Chen Xing's travel bags to Dangxiong, Tashi stayed in the hospital to take care of the elderly, and Nima Zhandui went back to the grassland to take care of the family and take care of the cattle and sheep.

In the early morning, Wang Heng knocked on the door of Chen Xing's room.

He came in and said: "Brother, you are so amazing, I will thank you for Brother Zhandui first."

"Thank you a long time ago. It's just a little favor. Where's my bag?"

"Here." He lifted the travel bag from behind.

After persuading the excited Wang Heng to go home, Chen Xing took a shower and lay on the bed thinking about what happened today.

It's great to be able to save someone.

Chen Xing smiled.

Sleep soundly.

　If you agree, it will be three shifts
