"Are you doing oxygen therapy?" Zhou Yuan's face darkened and he asked.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a disease of unknown cause, characterized by diffuse alveolitis and alveolar structural disorder, which eventually leads to pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.

After suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, breathing difficulties and coughing will occur, and in the later stage, respiratory failure and right ventricular failure will occur.

According to Chuchu's previous statement, Chuchu's mother is already in the middle and late stages, and the only treatment is lung transplantation.

However, this lung disease is more common in elderly male smokers, and female patients in their thirties and forties are rare.

"I'm doing oxygen therapy, but the effect is not very significant." Lu Chenxi nodded

"What about pirfenidone and nintedanib?"

These are commonly used drugs to fight idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis internationally. Both drugs can only delay the decline of lung function, but cannot stop the progression of the disease. The biggest effect is nothing more than hanging on to life and waiting for the lung source to be

"Always in use. In order to keep Chuchu's mother alive, Chuchu's father worked hard to make money. His restaurant was busy from early morning to late night, all by himself, and he never took a break."Speaking of this, Lu Chenxi felt a little sympathetic.

"What about the lungs?" Zhou Yuan asked

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

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

The reason why lung transplantation is difficult is not only because of the low success rate and high mortality rate, but also because there is no lung source.

In Country Z, at least 10,000 patients need lung transplantation every year, but only more than 200 cases are performed each year, and countless lives that could have been saved have lost their chance of survival.

As for hospitals, among the countless hospitals in the country, only 36 hospitals are qualified for lung transplantation, and among these hospitals, only half of them have actually carried out lung transplantation.

Because this is an operation that requires the hospital to pay for, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and consumable, and the success rate is still low. It requires the close cooperation of a team including surgeons, respiratory doctors, anesthesiologists, ICU doctors, etc., which is thankless.

Among them, the main reason is the low success rate, which has hit the confidence of many hospitals in performing lung transplantation.

"How long can Chuchu's mother hold on?" Zhou Yuan said

"One month at most……"

Zhou Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally said:"If you wait for a lung source, contact me, I can help."

Lu Chenxi's eyes flashed with surprise.

However, considering the difficulty of lung transplantation, only 36 of the countless tertiary hospitals can obtain lung transplantation qualifications, the requirements for doctors can be imagined.

It can be said that unless it is a one-legged doctor who specializes in lung transplantation, otherwise, basically dare not perform lung transplantation!

So, she did not think about the main surgeon, but just thought of helping with suturing, stopping bleeding, etc.

"I hope she can wait for the lung source.……"Lu Chenxi clasped his hands together.

After a while, Chuchu and Sun Meng came back.

The little girl was still holding candy in her arms. She jumped to Lu Chenxi's side and gave Lu Chenxi a few candies.

""Thank you, Chuchu."

Lu Chenxi touched Chuchu's head.

Chuchu laughed and ran to Zhou Yuan again, with five candies left in his hand.

""Brother, stretch out your hand!" Chuchu ordered.

Zhou Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand.

She counted them, five, gave Zhou Yuan two, hesitated for a moment, and gave Zhou Yuan another one.

""All right!" Chuchu closed Zhou Yuan's hands and said contentedly.

Several people held back their tears and looked at Chuchu who was playing with the candy in his hand.

""Okay, let's go back." Zhou Yuan said at last.

Before parting, Zhou Yuan called Lu Chenxi again,"Remember, be sure to contact me when the time comes!"

Chuchu, who was holding Lu Chenxi's hand, broke free and ran towards Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan quickly squatted down and hugged Chuchu.

""Brother Zhou Yuan, don't tell my sisters, I'll give you another one secretly!"

Chuchu quickly put her little hand into Zhou Yuan's hand, put down a candy, and ran away quickly.

On the way back, Zhou Yuan kept clenching his fists and remained silent.

"What happened to you?"Sun Meng rarely saw Zhou Yuan so sad, so she asked.

Zhou Yuan didn't say anything, but spread out his hand. In his palm was a candy wrapped in red sugar paper.

Sun Meng was stunned for a moment, biting his lips, and couldn't say anything.

After driving for a while, the two suddenly found that the road ahead was half blocked. Several cars were parked there, and there was a large group of people around.

Sun Meng slowly slowed down and prepared to go around from the side.

Suddenly, a desperate and anxious shout came from the car window.

"Is there a doctor? No, there is no doctor!"

"Is there a doctor here? His hand is broken!"

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

"Get out of the way, I'm a doctor!"

Zhou Yuan shouted, squeezing into the crowd.
