He opened the tent curtain and went in. In the dim light, Tashi was supporting the old lady.
The old man is quite old. He is sixty-eight this year. Nima Zhandui is the youngest son in their family. He stayed to inherit this pasture. Most of the other children left Dangxiong and went to make a living outside.
Nima Zhandui went up to take a look and was very anxious.
I originally thought that it would be inconvenient for the old man to be alone at home, so I took him with me on the road. Unexpectedly, something happened as soon as we arrived here.
Chen Xing also went over to take a look.
The old lady is panting like a cow and sweating profusely. She obviously has some kind of disease.
"Call 120 first." Chen Xing said.
Only then did Nima Zhandui react and quickly took out his cell phone to make a call.
Chen Xing felt the old man's pulse and asked Tashi: "Go get a dry towel to wipe her sweat."
Wang Heng said quickly: "I'm going!"
Tashi was completely lost and cried: "My father-in-law also walked like this back then. He was sweating profusely and said that the eagle in the sky had come to guide him."
Chen Xing secretly cursed the feudal superstition. How could there be so many people leading the way? It wasn’t caused by disease.
The pulse was fast and weak, and it was difficult to breathe... Chen Xing saw her face in pain, held her chest with her left hand, and added in her heart, chest tightness.
Heart failure plus acute pulmonary edema?
He wasn't sure. There was nothing at the scene, so he could only draw this conclusion first.
The first aid skill is indeed very good, but when it comes to the heart and brain diseases of the elderly, Chen Xing really has nothing to do, and he can't conjure a hospital out of thin air.
"Hel her sit up."
Chen Xing felt that it was most likely pulmonary edema, but it was inconvenient to say, so he could only adjust the old man's position to allow her to breathe better.
For any patient with difficulty breathing, you can ask the patient to sit on something with his legs perpendicular to the ground, and do not do any other activities. This can reduce the burden on the patient's heart and lungs.
"Does she have any chronic diseases?"
"I have high blood pressure and I have been taking antihypertensive drugs."
"Is there oxygen at home?"
"Yes, the kind sold to tourists."
"Okay, you go get it."
Wang Heng, who had just run back, dropped his towel and said, "I'll get it."
He also wanted to help, but he really didn't understand medical matters, so he could only do what he could.
Chen Xing asked: "Grandma, do you remember me? Just pinch me if you remember me."
He is holding the old man's hand now, but there is no movement.
At this time, the call was answered, and Nima Zhandui said: "My family is sick and needs an ambulance."
"We are in the north of the territory, close to the county road. There are many yaks. We are standing by the road waiting for you... I have high blood pressure..."
Chen Xing said: "The patients have chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and no sense of autonomy. They are in danger. Let them hurry up."
Nima Zhan started speaking in Tibetan anxiously, but cleverly gave Chen Xing the phone.
"Hello, the patient has heart failure, respiratory failure, and high blood pressure. His condition is not very good. Please ask the ambulance to hurry up."
"Okay, we'll be there soon."
Chen Xing doesn't expect hospitals in places like this to have professional emergency centers. Usually, the 120 operator will notify the local hospital after receiving the call, and then the local hospital will send the bus. If you drive faster, the round trip time is about one and a half hours. Calculating the time, Chen Xing's heart really couldn't sink any more.
Otherwise, don't encounter emergency illnesses on the grassland. Ambulances and hospitals are so far away, and there is still a chance of heart failure. If you encounter a heart attack or cerebral infarction, you will probably have to prepare for the funeral.
Oxygen is coming.
While Chen Xing was doing what he could, he felt his pulse with one hand.
Now we can only leave it to fate.
A long half hour.
Nima Zandui checked her phone every minute or even less than a minute. Tashi cried several times. When little Dolma saw her mother crying, she also cried. Tsering Quzhen helped wipe away the sweat and ran
I helped a lot by running back and forth.
The condition did not continue to worsen, and then the sound of the ambulance was heard again.
"Finally here." Nima Zhandui hurriedly went out to pick up people.
A minute later, two doctors in white coats walked in with a bunch of things. They were not too young. Chen Xing said: "Get on the stretcher first. You will definitely be sent to the hospital."
"Okay, help me lift it."
Nima Zhandui nodded immediately and said: "No problem."
Chen Xing saw them slowly moving the patient and checking the heart rate, and felt extremely anxious. In larger cities, first aid is only done by young men in their prime. It is estimated that even a half-century old man cannot do cardiopulmonary resuscitation. p>
When they got on the bus, Chen Xing and Nima Zhan piled on top.
He asked Chen Xing in a low voice: "Is my mother okay?"
"It's much better than before. This disease is not serious as long as it can be cured."
One of the people with white hair looked at the electrocardiogram, looked at Chen Xing, and said, "Is he a doctor?"
Chen Xing did not refute and said: "I know a little about front-hospital work."
Both doctors in the car turned to look at Chen Xing.
It’s not that doctors don’t know what’s going on in the front and back of the hospital, and when a patient like this meets an emergency doctor, it’s better to have a professional counterpart.
"No wonder it hasn't gotten worse after almost an hour. Your family is so lucky."
It was no coincidence that they had been warned when they received the call and wanted to come over and do their best to obey fate, but now it seems that the situation is not bad and the patient is receiving the best care.
Nima Zandui touched his heart and breathed quickly.
He was going to have a heart attack from the fright.
Fortunately, I decided to thank Chen Xing for inviting him here today, otherwise I would not dare to imagine the consequences.
"Thank you." He said sincerely.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Chen Xing stared at the two doctors who first intubated and then administered cardiotonic drugs, furosemide, cedilan and other emergency drugs. He was relieved. It seemed that the emergency doctors here were not as bad as he thought, but they were really old.
It's too big.
Just as he had thought before, it would be difficult to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation for a long time when encountering a patient in shock.
He was lying relaxedly in the car.
Only then did I realize that I was extremely tired, both mentally and physically.
Amidst Nima Zandui's prayers, the car drove into the county hospital.
After being admitted to the hospital, Chen Xing waited until the old man regained consciousness, and then he felt completely relieved.
A sense of pleasure arises spontaneously.
The old man could not speak yet, so he held Chen Xing with one hand. Nima Zhandui said with red eyes: "Thank you very much this time, Chen Xing. You have helped our family a lot, and we will thank you." "No need, anyone would do it if they had the ability."
Nima Zhandui took Chen Xing out of the hospital, opened a room for him, and then hurried back to the hospital.
Wang Heng came to Dangxiong with Tashi and Chen Xing's travel bags. Tashi stayed in the hospital to take care of the elderly, and Nima Zhandui returned to the grassland to take care of his family and the cattle and sheep.
It was almost early in the morning when Wang Heng knocked on Chen Xing's door.
He came in and said, "Brother, you are really amazing. Let me thank you first for Brother Zhandui."
"Thank you a long time ago. It's just a small favor. Where is my bag?"
"Here." He picked up the travel bag from behind.
After coaxing the excited Wang Heng to go home, Chen Xing took a bath and lay on the bed thinking about today's events.
