Start From Emergency Doctor

Chapter 68

“Are you doing oxygen therapy?” Zhou Yuan asked with a darkened face.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a disease of unknown cause, characterized by diffuse alveolitis and alveolar structural disorders that eventually lead to pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.

After suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, breathing difficulties, coughing, and later respiratory failure and right ventricular failure may occur.

According to Chu Chu’s previous statement, Chu Chu’s mother has reached the middle and end stages, and the only treatment is to have a lung transplant.

However, this type of lung disease is more common in older men who smoke, and it is rare for women in their 30s and 40s.

“I am doing oxygen therapy, but the effect is not very significant.” Lu Chenxi nodded.

“What about pirfenidone and nintedanib?”

This is a commonly used drug against idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in the world. Both drugs can only delay the decline of lung function and cannot stop the development of the disease. The biggest effect is nothing more than suspending the lungs.

“Always use it. In order to hang Chuchu’s mother, Chuchu’s father desperately earns money. His restaurant is busy from early morning to late at night. He is alone and has never rested.” At this point, Lu Chenxi was somewhat Sympathize.

“What about lung source?” Zhou Yuan asked.

“Too many people are waiting for a good lung. Let alone the difficulty of lung transplantation, there is not even a legal source of lungs… Such a cute child, if he does not have a mother at such a young age, he will definitely be laughed at by other children? “Lu Chenxi said, eyes a little moist.

Zhou Yuan also lowered his head, feeling a little depressed.

The reason why lung transplantation is difficult is not only the low success rate and high mortality, but also the inability to wait for the source of the lungs.

At least 10,000 patients in country Z need lung transplantation every year, but only more than 200 cases are done every year, and countless lives that could have been saved have lost their chance of surviving.

In terms of hospitals, among countless hospitals across the country, only 36 hospitals are qualified for lung transplantation, and among these hospitals, only half of the hospitals actually carry out lung transplantation operations.

Because this is an operation that requires money from the hospital, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and consumable, and the success rate is low. It requires the close cooperation of a team including surgeons, respiratory doctors, anesthesiologists, and ICU doctors. Not pleased.

Among them, the main reason is the low success rate, which has dampened the confidence of many hospitals in carrying out lung transplant operations.

“How long can my mother last?” Zhou Yuan said.

“At most… one month…”

Zhou Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally said: “If you wait until the lung source, contact me, I can help.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Astonishment flashed in Lu Chenxi’s eyes.

However, considering that the difficulty of lung transplantation is too high, there are only 36 third-class hospitals that can obtain lung transplant qualifications. You can imagine the requirements of doctors.

It can be said that unless you are a one-legged doctor who specializes in lung transplantation, you are basically afraid to perform lung transplantation!

So, she didn’t think about the main knife, but thought it would help to sew and stop the bleeding.

“I hope she can wait for the lung source…” Lu Chenxi folded her hands together.

After a while, Chu Chu came back with Sun Meng.

The little girl was holding candies in her arms, and jumped to the side of Lu Chenxi, and gave Lu Chenxi a few candies.

“Thank you Chuchu.”

Lu Chenxi touched Chuchu’s head.

The latter giggled and ran to Zhou Yuan again, with five candies left in his hand.

“Brother, stretch out your hand!” Chuchu ordered.

Zhou Yuan stretched out with a smile.

She counted five, gave Zhou Yuan two, hesitated, gave Zhou Yuan another one.

“Alright!” Chu Chu closed Zhou Yuan’s hands together and said contentedly.

Several people held back their tears, looking at Chu Chu, who was playing with the candy in their hands.

“Okay, let’s go back.” Zhou Yuan finally said.

Before the parting, Zhou Yuan stopped Lu Chenxi again, “Remember, you must contact me then!”

Chu Chu, who was holding Lu Chenxi’s little hand, broke free and flew towards Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan squatted down quickly and hugged Chu Chu.

“Brother Zhou Yuan, don’t tell your sister them, I will secretly give you another one!”

With that said, Chu Chu quickly got his little hand into Zhou Yuan’s hand, put down a candy, and ran away quickly.

On the return journey, Zhou Yuan kept clenching his fists and was silent.

“What’s the matter with you?” Sun Meng rarely saw Zhou Yuan so sad and asked.

Zhou Yuan did not speak, and opened his hands, with a red candy paper in his palm.

Sun Meng was stunned for a moment, bit her lip, and couldn’t speak anymore.

After driving again, the two suddenly discovered that the road ahead was half blocked. Several cars were parked there and a large group of people were still surrounding them.

Sun Meng slowly slowed down, preparing to go around.

Suddenly, desperate anxious shouts came from the car window.

“Is there a doctor! There is no doctor!”

“Is there a doctor present! My hand is broken!”

Zhou Yuan and Sun Meng looked at each other, the latter immediately stepped on the brake, Zhou Yuan quickly opened the door and rushed over.

“Get out, I’m a doctor!”

Zhou Yuan shouted and squeezed into the crowd. .
