Youth Rebellion

Chapter 59 Ruochen was classified as a vegetative state after being transferred

Ye Liang carefully researched and compared the hospitals in S City with better conditions for coma and vegetative awakening, and finally chose Z Hospital. It is said that this hospital has had several cases of awakened coma or vegetative, but the charging standard is more expensive. The basic monthly fee is tens of thousands of dollars.If you add the hospital's nursing course and so on, it will cost at least more than 20 a year!

Ruochen's parents were at a loss for a while, Ye Liang comforted them and said don't worry, I have money in my hands, and my yearly income is millions, this money is nothing.Ruochen's parents said: "No matter how much money you have, it's yours. How can we trouble you like this all the time? When can we get it back to you?!"

Ye Liang knew that Ruochen's parents had always felt guilty, so he said: "You can just treat me as your son, and besides, I was sorry for Ruochen before, so you should give me this opportunity to make up for it, so that my heart will be clear. I will feel at ease." Ye Liang pretended to be relaxed and said: "Otherwise, when Ruochen wakes up, you will betroth Ruochen to me, and if you don't ask me for the gift money, won't it be evened?" Ruochen's parents said Also cry with a smile.

Although they didn't know what happened between their daughter and this Ye Liang before, since Ruochen's incident, they have seen every bit of what Ye Liang did. He is together, they believe that their daughter will be happy, but who knows if Ruochen can wake up enough.

Because Ruochen's father has not retired yet, he had to go back to his hometown to continue his work, so he left his mother to take care of Ruochen.After being transferred to the hospital in S City, Yingzi Yuer and the others were also close, and the two of them also came to see Ruochen from time to time.

Ye Liang rented a house for Ruochen's mother in a community near the hospital, so that she could go to and from the hospital conveniently, and he himself went to the hospital whenever he was free.I usually consult a lot of information about cases of coma or vegetative awakening.From the difference between a coma and a vegetative state, to how to take care of it, I am almost half an expert.

First of all, according to the definition of vegetative, he feels that Ruochen's current state is closer to vegetative. Vegetative is a special state of human existence, which is called vegetative state in medicine.In layman's terms, people in a vegetative state lose their perception of themselves and their surroundings, manifested as inability to respond to calls, unconscious activities, inability to communicate, urination and defecation, etc.But vegetative people have breathing and blood pressure, automatic eye opening, eye tracking (no purpose), chewing and swallowing movements, limb avoidance movements to painful stimuli, sleep-wake cycles, and can maintain normal body temperature and heartbeat , blood pressure and respiration.

There are many reasons for the persistent vegetative state, but it is mainly caused by hypoxic encephalopathy, traumatic brain injury, senile dementia and congenital brain hypoplasia.The vegetative state is different from brain death. It is worth mentioning that the vegetative state is different from brain death. The fundamental difference is that the former is a living state in which the cognitive function is lost while the hypothalamus and brainstem functions are basically preserved. A small number of patients may be conscious; The patient is an irreversible death state, that is, the loss of whole brain function, manifested as deep coma, complete disappearance of brainstem reflexes and spontaneous breathing.As long as the deep coma can cause the brain to be shaken vigorously or lack of oxygen, it will cause a deep coma.

Judging from Ruochen's current situation, it should be treated as a vegetative state, although the doctor said that it is generally classified as a vegetative state after being in a coma for more than 6 months.So Ye Liang began to search and compare how to take better care of her.Ruochen now has breathing cannula, diversion esophagus and urinary catheter inserted all over his body.Ye Liang felt uncomfortable every time he saw so many tubes on Ruochen.He wants to summarize a set of relatively complete nursing methods, although it still needs to be gradually improved in the nursing process.At this time, he read an article about a man's five years of caring for his vegetative wife. There were many experiences in it that Ye Liang felt benefited a lot.

In the real medical care environment, patients with healthy hands and feet and who need care are not adequately cared for. It is conceivable to care for a comatose patient who cannot express consciousness, and the lack of humanization in nursing.Therefore, in the real society, the life and death of a vegetative patient depends entirely on the family's economic conditions, the attitude of the family members and the degree of unremitting family care.Otherwise, the vegetative patient will lose the right to life.

First of all, it is really difficult to take care of a vegetative person, especially a person with a tracheotomy and a breathing cannula. Although there are nurses in the hospital, Ye Liang specially hired a nurse outside to relieve Ruochen's mother's hard work, but the care of the vegetative person It is almost all-weather, and many details are very demanding, especially in the process of suctioning, the priority must be well established, otherwise the trachea will be easily damaged.There is also the need to feed nutritious food six or seven times a day.The method introduced in this article made him feel very good, Ye Liang thought, what this man can do, I can definitely do it too.

Ye Liang began to delve into professional nursing knowledge that he had never heard of before, from the nutritional knowledge of the patient's "nasogastric feeding" diet configuration to how to suck up sputum correctly and effectively, and then he taught Ruochen's mother and nurses over and over again.In front of Ruochen's life, Ye Liang feels all the hard work and pressure is worth it, as long as Ruochen can wake up, no matter what life is, he is willing to do it.

Inadequate care of vegetative people will cause bed sores and muscle atrophy, so we should observe, turn over, massage, scrub, tidy up, and replace frequently every day.The previous urinary catheter has been pulled out and the urine pad is used directly, so that the urethra will not be so easily infected.Ye Liang spent most of his weekends in the hospital. He scrubbed Ruochen's body and massaged her. Ruochen closed his eyes most of the day and opened them at night, but when Ye Liang was there, While giving her a massage, he told her about the things in his company and life, as if Ruochen was sitting opposite him and listening carefully.

But every time there is phlegm, the pain of sucking phlegm will make Ye Liang feel extremely painful. It turns out that people in vegetative states also have painful expressions when phlegm blocks their breathing.Through the affectionate care of Ye Liang and Ruochen's mother, Ruochen did not give birth to a bed sore. Although there were several occasions when the tracheal bleeding was caused by the wrong suction method or excessive force, there was no other dangerous situation. After mastering the appropriate method of suctioning sputum, this kind of situation rarely occurs. After sucking the sputum, Ye Liang feels as if he is very comfortable, and the expression on his face is more relaxed and calm. At this time, Ye Liang will feel I am also very happy.

Although many people advised Ye Liang and Ruochen's parents to give up, Ye Liang said that as long as Ruochen didn't stop breathing for a day, I would not give up.Some people say that you have done so much, that you have exhausted your benevolence, and there is no need to consume yourself so much.Ye Liang smiled and stopped defending, because they didn't understand the importance of Ruochen in their hearts, and they were also kind, for their own good.If Ruochen were to lie there and ignore him, he wouldn't be happy even if he married the president's daughter.

In this way, seven or eight months have passed, and the hospital also announced that Ruochen is now in a vegetative state.Ye Liang didn't have too many emotional changes, because he already thought so.Ye Liang found that every time she told Ruochen something, her expression seemed to relax, so Ye Liang said to Ruochen's mother: "Auntie, it's best when you take care of Ruochen every day." Telling the story of her childhood every day, from childhood to adulthood, telling it over and over again, I think Ruochen longs for us to talk to her from the bottom of his heart.

Ruochen's mother said: "I often talk to her, and I think Chen'er seems willing to listen."

One day after Ye Liang finished nursing Ruochen, he took her hand and said, "Ruochen, I decided to tell you my story from the time we met, okay? You must not know what I thought at that time Right? Do you really want to know what I think? You must get better quickly, so that I can personally let you know what Ye Liang has done and thought all these years. I want to give you a transparent Me, and, you must want to know why I suddenly separated from you, right? Although you didn’t ask again later, I know you want to know, if you want to know, wake up quickly, I will tell you everything!”
