Feng Xuhui was in a state of hemorrhagic shock. After blood transfusion, his symptoms have been significantly improved.
But the steel bars are still in the body, so this kind of surgery has to be done in the provincial hospital or in West China.
It was just that the thigh was penetrated, and in the eyes of the doctor at the provincial hospital, it was not a big deal.
Make a phone call and ask the doctor from the relevant department to come down and do the work.
Injuries like Feng Xuhui's can be treated by trauma departments or orthopedics. There is no fixed limit. If the hospital is smaller, the surgical department is not segmented enough, and it may even be handled by the general surgery department.
As for other postoperative patients with severe pelvic fractures, the ICU cannot be accommodated, and they have more or less other fractures on their bodies, so we simply call the orthopedics department to come down and take them all back.
The orthopedics department is also full, but there is nothing we can do about it. Now, except for the internal medicine department, which has beds, almost all surgical departments are overcrowded.
The orthopedic surgeon came down sleepily wearing an isolation gown.
At a glance, it was obvious that he had performed the operation on the stage, and then casually slept in the duty room. He was called down by phone before he woke up.
"What patient and where did he come from?"
"He's from Pengxi Township."
He felt relieved when he heard that he was from Pengxi Township.
Most of them are postoperative patients with pelvic fractures, and it is enough to send them to the ward for blood transfusion and fluid replenishment. Even if there are complications, they will not appear within a few hours.
"Oh, then I can still sleep for a while." The orthopedic surgeon nagged, "I have been working for nearly 72 hours, and just as I fell asleep, I was woken up again. Hurry up, I should still be able to connect to the dream when I get back."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep." The doctor in the emergency department pointed at Feng Xuhui and said, "He has a penetrating injury from the steel bar and needs surgery as soon as possible."
"This young man..." The orthopedic surgeon suddenly became energetic, made the handover, and took Feng Xuhui back to the department.
Patients before orthopedic surgery all live in their own wards. Postoperative patients with pelvic fractures are all arranged to departments with beds such as internal medicine.
In short, everything is working for the wounded brought down from the front line.
The old diagnosis and treatment process in the hospital has been completely broken, and there are few patients coming for treatment. They can stay at home and avoid going to the hospital to cause trouble.
The orthopedic surgeon called to ask when the operating room would be free of space.
In a short period of time, all the operating rooms in the operating room were empty, so we had to wait a while.
Although an injury like Feng Xuhui's did not damage the large arteries, the small arteries, capillary network, and muscle tissue are not seriously injured. The surgery can be major or minor. It is best to go to the operating room for corresponding treatment.
There is no time to sleep anyway, so just check on the patients. As soon as the orthopedic surgeon got up, he saw a gray-haired old doctor appearing at the door of the ward.
"Director Chen, why are you here?" I know the orthopedic surgeon. This is the retired director of the radiology department of the provincial hospital.
"Let me take a look around and see if there is a place where I can use my remaining energy." Director Chen is already in his seventies and is in high spirits.
Although he looked at his energy, the orthopedic surgeon knew that the old man could not bear to stay awake for several days and nights.
Besides, doctors in the radiology department have to wear lead suits when performing interventional surgeries, and the elderly may not be able to perform even one operation.
"Old director, sit down, sit down."
"No, I'm just here to see how many patients with pelvic fractures need interventional embolization. We'll finish the surgery and recover before you can go."
"Yes, yes. There are still twelve patients waiting for surgery. It's okay."
The old director took the orthopedic surgeon to check on twelve pre-operative patients, and Feng Xuhui was also assigned a hospital bed, waiting for surgery.
"Why are there so few injured people who need hemorrhage stopped? I heard from people in front that there are many similar injured people."
"Aren't these several interventional doctors parachuted into Pengxi Township Hospital? They performed surgeries in front and brought back dozens of post-operative patients."
"Is there only Pengxi Township?" Director Chen asked, but then he realized the problem, "No, I went to Pengxi Township Hospital once last year. They can only perform circulatory interventional surgery, but they have two machines. It is not suitable for interventional hemostasis surgery for pelvic fractures. What did you just say? How many post-operative patients were transported back? "
The orthopedic surgeon hesitated for a moment and remained on the operating table. He didn't know much about the situation below.
Seeing that the old director's expression began to change, as if he wanted to curse, he immediately called the head nurse.
"Today, 36 patients who underwent interventional embolization for pelvic fractures were brought back. They are all in stable condition, and most of the patients' blood pressure has returned to normal." The head nurse has been below, and knows more about the situation, so she opens her mouth.
"36 postoperative patients with pelvic fractures? That's impossible!" Director Chen frowned and said seriously: "Take me to see if you don't do this, you don't know how difficult it is to perform interventional surgery for severe pelvic fractures. I'm very Five years ago, we performed our hospital's first interventional surgery for severe pelvic fractures. Do you know how long it took? Five hours!"
As Director Chen spoke, he stretched out his fingers, and his five fingers were shining brightly.
"There are many critical and serious diseases now, but we can't be careless. We don't know the situation ahead, but we can't just let the wind take its toll. It's all human life!"
The orthopedic surgeon nodded repeatedly, complaining in his heart.
But he didn't dare to say anything. These old directors were very bad-tempered, so they could only follow his words.
Besides, Director Chen was right. The more times like this, the more careful you have to be.
The head nurse respectfully led the two of them to the wards, where the doctors were performing surgeries and she was solely responsible for them below.
There are three beds in a ward, three patients, and three volunteers to accompany them.
"Director Chen, there are three patients here after interventional surgery. One was just completed in our hospital, and his blood pressure has not yet fully recovered. The other two were transferred from Pengxi Township. The hemorrhagic shock has been corrected and the ion disorder is very serious. It’s minor, one of them has a femoral shaft fracture, it’s closed, we’re considering waiting for elective surgery.”
Although Director Chen didn't believe it, the patient's film and the brief introduction to Pengxi Township's condition were very clear. The more he looked at it, the more confused he became.
It is said that they are all patients with severe pelvic fractures, and the large retroperitoneal hematoma can be clearly seen. But the number of patients after surgery is too many...
Has Pengxi Township received new equipment? Then we will transfer people from West China and all over the country to do the surgery? Otherwise, it would be impossible to transport 36 post-interventional patients in one day.
Before he could finish reading, the orthopedic surgeon's cell phone rang, and an operating room finally became available.
He said quickly and took Feng Xuhui to the operating room.
After that, the head nurse accompanied me and watched all the way.
Almost all patients after interventional surgery for pelvic fractures have gotten rid of the state of hemorrhagic shock, and those with relatively simple conditions have regained consciousness and can speak a few words.
Strange... Director Chen was puzzled and staggered out of the ward with his hands behind his back.
