Gu Jun didn’t take care of the hollow humerus for the time being, and he can’t take care of it. If he wants to take care of it now, he can only cut it up and do a scapula dissection.
Generally speaking, bones can also have cavity-like lesions, and fracture reduction is also prone to cavities due to the compression of cancellous bone caused by impact. These are not fatal. The most important thing in the current situation is to save the lives of the injured. The key is still those two points, preventing bleeding and preventing infection.
Originally, in order to prevent accumulation of blood and fluid in the incision, and reduce tissue reaction and chance of infection, drainage must be placed before the incision is closed, usually for three to five days. But now that there is no drainage device around him, Gu Jun can only choose to have an open amputation.
After trimming the bone end, he rinsed the wound with normal saline to remove bone debris, blood clots, and fragmented tissue. After complete hemostasis, he covered the stump wound with a sterile gauze pad, and then put the The flap was sutured several times intermittently to prevent skin retraction.
Finally, it was wrapped with elastic bandages, and the amputation was considered complete.
Gu Jun didn't feel complacent, and then used a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer to measure Cao Yicong's vital signs. His heart rate and blood pressure were fine. Those who lost too much blood can still hold on.
"Vice-captain Cao, how many fingers are here?" He raised three fingers on his right hand and asked.
"three… "
Cao Yicong's mental state is not bad, and he can answer a series of questions he asked, but the stump of his right arm is a little numb and accompanied by phantom limb pain, so he can feel his lost right hand, "Doctor Gu, I Now it feels like my right hand is still there...but there are bursts of pain, like needle pricks."
Li Liangbin and Wang Yong didn't quite understand what this meant, but Gu Jun's heart sank, only feeling that the surroundings were colder and darker.
Phantom limb pain is one of the common complications of amputation, the pathogenesis is still unclear, and there is no effective treatment.
It's just that the symptoms of patients with heterohand syndrome before amputation are similar to those of patients with biid. Biid patients are eager to amputate their limbs. After amputation, they will not have phantom limb pain, but only feel joy and satisfaction. But now, once the alien hand syndrome patients get rid of the alien hand, it seems that they will be the amputation reaction of ordinary people.
"Vice-captain Cao, it's normal, and you'll be fine after a while." Gu Jun said.
Phantom limb pain generally goes away gradually, and only a few people have severe and long-term pain, which he hopes is not the case for people with different hands.
Now Cao Yicong can only bear with it first. Gu Jun's other worry is whether the injured will experience severe physical pain or even more serious phantom limb pain after the local anesthesia in the operation area passes. There is not much morphine and procaine left in the medical kit, so they must be used sparingly.
Then, he cleaned, disinfected and sewed up the wounds on the faces and hands of the three people, completing the field first aid.
At this time, Gu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, briefly cleaned the dissecting instruments, and took off the heavily contaminated gloves.
Now the remaining materials are extremely insufficient, and the water is not enough for the four of them to drink for a day.
There is no sign of clear water in the surrounding swamps, only stinking rotten water, with thousands of dirt buried in it. The amputated alien limb was still able to jump on the muddy ground. Li Liangbin and Wang Yong were exhausted, and Gu Jun was busy with the operation. In an instant, it jumped into the mud and sank.
Maybe at this very moment, that alien hand is right under their feet, but it is hidden very deep.
This environment is full of dangers.
"Everyone, let's go and see if we can get out of this swamp."
Gu Jun set his gaze in one direction. It is difficult to judge the north, south, east, and west here, but based on the basketball hoop, Lin Jing's house is over there, which is also the direction of the entrance of the alley.
The legs and feet of the three were not injured, but Cao Yicong was a little weak, and Li Liangbin and Wang Yong supported him.
Gu Jun returned the pistols of Li Liangbin and Li Liangbin to them, and he took Cao Yicong's and walked ahead carefully. The mud in some parts of the swamp would sink if he stepped on it. He had to walk very cautiously, and he had to test lightly before each step fell.
The gray sky seemed to always be that color, and the occasional crow's cry came from the branch of a dead tree.
They walked for a distance, about two hundred meters, which was already long enough to get out of the street.
The surrounding area is still a piece of rotten mud, but they still found something. There are pieces of separated hard concrete ground above the mud, which are the roofs of the villagers' houses. They should have been ten or ten meters above the sky, but now All sunk in the mud.
"Doctor Gu, that seems to be Lin Jing's house."
At this time, Li Liangbin pointed to a roof.
Lin Jing’s house is an old two-story house built in the 1980s and has never been renovated, so the roof is still the old-fashioned design with a half-tiled roof, and it was once used The old TV antenna stand has not been removed and has become a sign of the house.
On the roof sunk in the mud, there is a TV antenna stand that is crumbling.
Gu Jun watched and nodded silently, yes, there it is.
The houses on the entire street had sunk into the swamp, which made it impossible for them to find any supplies. And... I don't know what happened to the villagers and Tianji personnel inside and outside the house, whether they managed to escape, or sank along with the house.
They did not find any trace that could indicate the answer to this question. Wang Ke and others, as well as Lin Jing's parents, all disappeared.
The Lin family's house was located in the middle of the alley, and the four of them continued to walk carefully towards the entrance of the alley. The surrounding houses sank gradually deeper, and even the roofs could not be seen, and the dead trees in the distance could not be seen. become more and more sparse and withered.
If this is the abnormal area like Mobei last time, there will be a dividing line, and they can pass through the dividing line and return to their own earth world.
But this hope was quickly extinguished by the vision in front of him.
Gu Jun and the three investigators have never seen such a thing before. After increasing the distance, at the corresponding entrance of the alley, from the muddy swamp to the high-altitude clouds, a layer of membranous things like a wall enveloped the entire world. , the film quality is between transparent and turbid, which makes it difficult to see the opposite side.
Such a high membrane wall, they should be able to see it from a distance, but the fact is that they can only see it when they get close.
As soon as Cao Yicong saw the heavy film wall, the phantom limb pain suddenly became more severe, and his left hand pressed tightly on his non-existent right arm.
"What is that..." Wang Yong murmured.
Gu Jun was agitated and saw the clue, "The amniotic membrane, it's the amniotic membrane, we may be in the womb of... the black goat."
