   Chapter 40 Blood clots mixed in phlegm!

   opened his mouth, and a strange stench spread out.

   snoring…

   snoring…

   snoring…

   With the old man's breathing, sticky phlegm kept churning in his throat.

   But the phlegm could not be excreted, it was all stuck in the throat, I wanted to swallow but couldn’t.

  Liu Mei held the sputum suction device in one hand, pressed the old man's cheek tightly with the other hand, and quickly inserted the sputum suction tube into his throat.

   In the throat, the vision is blurred, the light is dim, and it is difficult to identify.

  Lu Chen immediately turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and let the light shine into his throat.

"This is…"

   By the light of the mobile phone, in the field of vision, a dark black blood clot was stuck in the throat of the old man.

   This blood clot is not big, but it is mixed with the surrounding mucus!

  Lu Chen immediately thought that the sudden drop in the patient's blood oxygen saturation might have something to do with the blood clot.

   "Senior sister, there is a blood clot in your throat!" Lu Chen said loudly.

  Sun Guoguo frowned slightly: "Liu Mei, quickly **** up the blood clot! It seems that not only is the phlegm stuck, but the blood clot is also blocking the airway!"

  Liu Mei's eyes narrowed, she concentrated her energy, and looked into her throat.

   "No blood clot, where is it?"

   The vision is narrow in the throat, and the blood clot is mixed with sticky phlegm, making it difficult to identify.

   "The right side of the throat is relatively deep. You need to put a sputum suction tube inside." Lu Chen said in a deep voice.

"it is good."

  Liu Mei pushed the suction tube forward a little.

  嗞…嗞…

   The suction device continues to work.

   But the only thing I sucked out was phlegm!

   "I still haven't seen it." Liu Mei frowned, "Doctor Lu, where is it?"

   "Sister Liu, your position is not very good-looking, do you want me to try it?" At this time, Lu Chen was standing on the left side of the patient, and Liu Mei was on the right.

   "You?" Liu Mei was stunned for a moment, but considering the current situation, she couldn't bear to think too much. She handed the suction tube to Lu Chen on the opposite side.

   After getting the suction tube, Lu Chen held his breath and concentrated.

  The suction tube is slowly pushed into the throat.

The depth of   's insertion is a little deeper than the depth of Liu Mei's suction just now.

  Lu Chen's movements were very careful so as not to injure the old man's tracheal mucosa.

   "What's the matter, the blood clot is gone again?"

  The throat is full of sticky phlegm.

   Was the blood clot swallowed by the patient?

  Lu Chen glanced at the ECG monitor from the corner of his eye, and the blood oxygen saturation was still 75%!

   No, not swallowed!

  If the blood clot is swallowed, at least the blockage of the airway is relieved, then the blood oxygen saturation will definitely rise.

   But now there is no change in blood oxygen saturation, the blood clot should still be in the throat!

   "Did you find it?" Sun Guoguo on the side was full of anxiety, her hands tightly clasped together.

  Lu Chen shook his head, then looked at Liu Mei, and said, "Sister Liu, help me illuminate with a torch."

"it is good."

  Liu Mei took Lu Chen's phone, turned on the flashlight, and aimed it at the throat.

  Other people in the ward were also very nervous.

   Everyone saw that Lu Chen and Liu Mei were sucking phlegm, but they couldn't help much, so they could only pray silently in their hearts.

   "There it is! Here it is!"

   Under the guidance of the light, Lu Chen successfully found the blood clot mixed in the sticky phlegm.

  The sticky phlegm is mixed with blood, so blood clots are extremely difficult to find!

   "Sister Liu, make the suction device more attractive!"

   Adjust the direction of the suction device, aim at the position of the blood clot, and continue to **** repeatedly.

  I saw a dark black blood clot going up the suction tube!

"Out!"

  Liu Mei's eyes flashed with joy, and she saw this dark blood clot at a glance.

   "Good job." Liu Mei looked at Lu Chen, who was beside him, with joy in her beautiful eyes.

   Sun Guoguo also breathed a sigh of relief.

   As long as you find the source of the drop in blood oxygen saturation, the rest will be easy.

  Lu Chen held the suction tube and still did not let his guard down.

  The suction tube continued to work in the throat, attracting a lot of **** mucus.

   But why do blood clots occur?

   The situation was critical just now, so Lu Chen didn't think much about it.

   Now I have come to my senses, the patient's attack is not only because of heart failure, but there must be other reasons!

   When the blood clot is sucked out, the oxygen saturation rises at a rate visible to the naked eye.

  75%…

  79%…

  82%…

  86%…

   In just two minutes, the blood oxygen saturation gradually increased, and finally it was directly fixed at 91%…

  Although the blood oxygen saturation is still low, it is much better than before!

   The blood clot was sucked out, and part of the sticky phlegm was sucked out. Lu Chen removed the sputum suction tube.

   The phlegm remaining in the deep bronchus is not easy to suck, and can only be excreted by the patient's own "cough".

  huh...huh...

   On the hospital bed, the old man's breathing rate was not as fast as before.

   He breathed heavily, enjoying the fresh air of the rest of his life.

  Standing beside the bed, Lu Chen could still smell the obvious sound of phlegm, but the old man's condition had improved.

  …

   At this time, Ke Yue pushed a simple non-invasive ventilator and walked quickly into the ward.

  The role of the ventilator is to replace or assist the patient to breathe, and to help the patient with respiratory failure go through the dangerous period.

   The assisted breathing of the ventilator ensures the supply of oxygen and discharges the phenomenon of excessive carbon dioxide retention.

   But the ventilator, whether it is non-invasive or invasive, Lu Chen has never touched it, and he will not be able to debug it at all.

   But for Sun Guoguo, it is easy to master.

   She immediately connected the ventilator ventilation tube, replaced the humidification bottle, and adjusted the breathing mode and parameters.

  The mask is buckled at the patient's mouth and nose, and the ventilator starts to work.

   "Liu Mei, every day to assist the patient in expelling phlegm, he must record the 24-hour urine output in detail." Sun Guoguo said solemnly, "Use the non-invasive ventilator for a period of time, and then withdraw it when the patient is better."

   "Okay." Liu Mei nodded, and at the same time began to pack up the medicines on the rescue car, put the discarded needles and medicine bottles in the yellow sharps box, "Doctor Sun, remember to reissue the emergency doctor's order."

   "Yes." After Sun Guoguo explained the precautions for nursing, he turned his gaze to Lu Chen who was beside him.

   To resolve this crisis, Lu Chen contributed greatly.

   This Junior Brother is really not afraid of danger!

   Ke Yue didn't know what happened, so Dong Hao and the two interns on the side explained to her.

   After listening to others' explanations, her gaze towards Lu Chen also changed.

   Both are freshmen this year, but everyone is completely different.

   And Lu Chen was checking his system panel at this time.

   "Congratulations, +1 for the thank you from Warwick!"

   "Congratulations, +1 for receiving thanks from Cao Chunmei!"

  This time, he received two thanks at the same time!

   It should be the patient and the patient's family, that is, the old woman next to him.

  The total thank you points reached 8!

   System completion has also become 70%!

   Just two hours after arriving at the Cardiology Department, the system completion rate has increased by 20%, and the gratitude value has also increased by 3 points.

   According to the frequency of this kind of rescue in cardiology department.

   I am afraid that within a few days, the system completion will reach 100%!
