Just using ventilators and artificial lungs on patients will inevitably lead to infection as long as it lasts for a long time. Too many anti-infection drugs are used to treat infections, and eventually it is too common for such patients to die from infection.
No modern medicine can replace all functions of the brain.
The function of the brain is far more than just thinking, far more than autonomous breathing, blood pressure regulation, and far more than body temperature regulation. Without the brain's command, all functions of the body will become disordered and disordered in a matter of minutes, and the functions of various organs cannot be maintained for long.
The most common thing in clinical practice is that when the whole brain is truly dead, as is the case with Xiaoyu now, other organs will gradually develop problems and cannot be maintained by machines. As the doctor emphasized, money should not be wasted in this area at all.
It’s not that doctors don’t understand why people are afraid of brain death. What people are afraid of is misdiagnosis of brain death.
As Cao Yong pointed out during the previous discussion between the two Cao brothers, from the perspective of medical technology, the rate of misdiagnosis is so low that it is almost impossible, unless someone has a bad conscience.
Medicine emphasizes that brainstem death is an important link in diagnosing brain death. This is due to the fear of misdiagnosis. In fact, brainstem death does not mean total brain death. However, since the brainstem is the only connection between the brain and spinal cord, severe brainstem damage will basically be very serious.
It quickly evolved into total brain death. Xiaoyu’s death process was like this.
If the family members have the intention to donate, they should not wait until other parts of the patient's body other than the head are affected. If they want to donate, they will not be able to.
Under such circumstances, some family members may think that the doctor's repeated mention of this is "callous": You "urged" me to donate, and I haven't even finished crying. I am so sad. Do you have some other profit-making purpose?
If the doctor doesn't see that you want your family to survive in the world in another way, the doctor won't "rush" you, so don't overthink it.
In fact, doctors should take academic issues seriously and fulfill their obligation to inform family members, and should not think about other messy things. This is what Cao Yong warned a group of Fang Ze's colleagues.
Senior Brother Cao is too on point as an academic, several junior sisters and brothers thought.
This child was not under Zhai Yunsheng's supervision. Zhai Yunsheng could only occasionally pay attention and ask his colleagues about their progress. When I came here today, I found that this was the problem. Since we were in the same company, it was not as good as my nephew who could speak frankly and frankly.
The treating team of the child frowned. Due to the strong attitude of the four old people, the treating team was a little timid. Now it was an outsider who poured cold water on their heads and they all woke up.
If the donation fails before it is too late, it is equivalent to depriving the patient of another chance to "live" in this world. The responsibility for failing to fulfill the obligation to inform is indeed their doctor's responsibility.
Doctor Cheng Yuchen suddenly called the students: "Go back to the hospital quickly, there is news."
The words "news" mean that Zhu Xingxin's heart is settled.
All the doctors who heard the good news rejoiced.
Without saying a word, Cao Yong took the initiative to drive his junior brothers and sisters back.
On the way, Wei Shangquan bravely asked his seniors for advice: "Brother Cao, have you ever seen a heart transplant surgery?"
"If you have been to the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department of our hospital and have seen transplant operations, you should have some insights into organ transplantation. You can tell me first." Cao Yong said.
I wanted to ask my seniors for advice, but my seniors turned me around.
Wei Shangquan scratched his head: "I have never been to hepatobiliary surgery."
This student Wei was very capable and threw the hot potato to the other two classmates.
