Can a trainee do standard heart compressions? Dr. Lin stared at him with big eyes.
If the heart compression is performed incorrectly, it will waste the patient's golden rescue time, and may not save the patient but kill him.
What are these two guys doing standing around? Dr. Lin rolled up his sleeves and looked at Dr. Jiang and Huang Zhilei dissatisfied.
"Wait a minute, Lao Lin, it's almost time -" Dr. Jiang grabbed him and asked him to calm down.
Sometimes, giving first aid to a patient does not mean that the more people rush in, the better. Rescue must be done in an orderly manner. The more anxious you are, the more you need a calm heart.
Someone has started to perform cardiac compressions on the patient previously. It is best for others to be prepared and follow the order before stepping in to replace others when the previous people are tired or unable to do the job. Because the process of replacing others is equivalent to pausing rescue operations.
, it is not necessarily very good for patients who quickly recover their heartbeat.
This is exactly the situation of Liu's father now.
Being stopped by his colleagues, Dr. Lin had to turn around to see how Xie Wanying was doing.
Xie Wanying pressed her hands in front of the patient's chest. Her arms were straight like two pillars, forming the most powerful pressing force.
Dr. Lin was a little surprised when he glanced at this. He only knew that too many clinical medical students were learning heart compression at the beginning, and within a few seconds, their arms would probably change from straight to curved. This is because they have to be very straight.
It requires a lot of arm strength and trained inertial movements.
Furthermore, the key to heart compression is to press at an accurate location, the middle and lower third of the sternum. This is obviously not too difficult. What is more difficult is that the frequency and depth during continuous heart compression must meet the standards, otherwise
Hard to be effective.
The frequency should be as many as one hundred to one hundred and twenty times per minute, as recommended by CPR guidelines.
For adults, the depth of compression should reach five centimeters, and the strength must be controlled well. Do not apply too much force at once, as this may easily break the patient's ribs.
Therefore, it is a bit difficult for not only ordinary people but also medical students to achieve such standard and efficient correct movements. Even if you practice it many times on a simulated doll, it is another thing to do it on a real person, and the feeling will be different.
When medical students who are new to clinical practice perform life-saving heart compressions on dying patients, most teachers do not expect them to be able to do it. It is for this reason that Dr. Lin does not agree with trainees being the first to do heart compressions.
.
But looking at it now, Xie Wanying pressed it deeply enough each time, which can be seen from the rise and fall of the patient's chest.
The frequency of Xie Wanying's compressions further showed that as a female medical student, her performance was different from that of other medical students.
The nurse on the side couldn't help but count her: one, two, three, four, five, six - it seemed that the counting could hardly keep up with the speed of her pressing.
Fast, fast, press as hard as you can, it’s the rhythm of fighting death for your life, one hundred and twenty times per minute is something you have to risk your life to do.
Even if your strength is about to run out, you can’t stop. You absolutely can’t, you can’t, you’re just a little bit closer, it’s almost, it’s almost—
The straight line that beeped on the monitor, symbolizing the door of death, suddenly changed back to beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Xie Wanying stopped her hand immediately. Pressing it again at this time was not only redundant but might also harm the patient.
Everyone around her looked at her face.
Huang Zhilei was the first to react. He walked to the hospital bed and took out a doctor's flashlight to shine on Liu's father's pupils. He then touched Liu's father's carotid artery and measured his blood pressure.
