Almost immediately after Li Jingsheng finished speaking, the ventilator began to alarm.
The nurse’s face showed panic as she hurried to check.
"Doctor Luo, Doctor Luo, bed 7 ventilator alarm, come and take a look quickly."
A man in his late thirties quickly walked over, checked, and made some adjustments to the ventilator parameters, resolving the alarm.
"The patient’s condition has markedly improved, and if this improvement continues, there is hope to remove the ventilator soon."
Dr. Luo said with a hint of joy.
When doctors see the patient’s condition improve, they all have roughly the same expression.
Just two words, happy.
"Earlier...what you said turned out to be true." The nurse looked at Li Jingsheng with disbelief.
"I never lie."
If Li Jingsheng lacked even this judgment, wouldn’t he be wasting his time?
"Can you stop kicking me out now?"
"As long as your actions do not harm the patient, I naturally won’t kick you out." The nurse’s attitude towards him changed slightly, her tone no longer so cold, and her eyes lacked the disdain.
"Thank you!"
Li Jingsheng stayed by the bedside, wanting to observe Doctor Xu’s condition more closely, to identify the illness.
That Dr. Luo overheard Li Jingsheng predicting Doctor Xu’s improvement and gave him a more respectful look.
"Which hospital are you doctors from?"
"The Second Hospital!"
"Oh, I’ve heard of your hospital, famous for its bone setting technique. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll go now, try not to say anything that might upset the patient."
After hearing he was from the Second Hospital, Dr. Luo’s enthusiasm diminished significantly.
He greeted and then went straight to his work.
Li Jingsheng stayed by the bedside, observing Doctor Xu’s condition.
During breathing, Doctor Xu seemed to exert considerable effort.
The chest showed distinct collapse.
Could it be an issue with alveolar tension?
This is truly hard to say.
It might also be chronic respiratory failure.
But respiratory failure typically doesn’t involve vomiting blood or coughing blood.
After observing for a while, he could not identify the teacher’s illness. In the end, he tried seeking advice from the nurse.
Doctor Xu also needed more rest.
Learning that Li Jingsheng got first place was enough to comfort him.
Wei Xianxian encountered trouble in the competition, didn’t even place, which made Doctor Xu feel exceedingly relieved, venting years of pent-up frustration.
But no matter how good the news, it can’t directly cure his illness.
Maintaining good spirits and good sleep are indeed great remedies, but actual disease treatment relies on medication and surgery.
Li Jingsheng approached the nurse, who was monitoring the patient’s urine output.
For some emergency patients, catheterization is needed soon after admission.
Monitoring urine volume, urine color, and timely recording all help doctors promptly understand the patient’s condition.
For example, occurrences of hematuria or proteinuria are quite serious.
"Miss, do you know the cause of illness for the patient in bed 7?"
"It’s still under investigation, currently only symptomatic treatment."
Upon hearing the nurse’s response, Li Jingsheng had to give up.
Originally wanting to review Doctor Xu’s examination report, he estimated he could only return tomorrow.
Because Doctor Xu hadn’t been here long, not many tests had been done.
Leaving the emergency room, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The teacher’s vital signs were stable, temporarily not life-threatening, but it felt like the cause wasn’t simple, probably quite complicated.
Perhaps when the time comes, he could ask Lian Tao for help with the diagnosis.
Returning to the competition, the cardiovascular disease project was at a critical stage.
The screen showed a wire moving within the blood vessel.
This was a specialty of Cardiovascular Medicine, judging by this, it seemed they were preparing to handle obstructed heart vessels.
When cardiovascular conditions such as sclerosis and plaques lead to blockage, it results in massive myocardial cell death quickly. Moreover, the longer the blockage, the more severe the myocardial infarction situation becomes.
This is irreversible.
Many myocardial infarction patients, even if rescued promptly, still experience some aftereffects.
Such as significant fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, and other issues.
The projection shown on the large screen was likely the imaging from the interventional room.
The delicate wire made its difficult way through the vessel.
Narrow areas were noticed on the vessel wall, certainty there are plaques. Vessel sclerosis is the chief culprit for plaque formation.
With Li Jingsheng’s diagnostic perspective and experience in Cardiovascular Medicine, he could immediately tell the patient’s cardiovascular disease was extremely severe.
The section of the vessel the wire was trying to unblock was totally obstructed.
Time was ticking by the minute.
The doctors in the audience watched with impatience.
Everyone knows, it’s easy to watch but hard to do.
Wanting to clear that blocked section first requires the wire to pass smoothly.
Sometimes when encountering large plaques, the wire gets obstructed; fortunately, the operating doctor is highly skilled. Though the wire progresses difficultly, it still advances bit by bit, passing one obstacle after another.
At this moment, the entire audience fell silent.
Li Jingsheng’s heart similarly tightened. Observably, the wire finally reached the severely blocked section after a ’long arduous journey’.
Just getting through now, placing the balloon, expanding and clearing the vessel, would restore circulation.
The wire struggled to advance, but the blockage was extraordinarily severe.
