Doctor Zhao, help!

Chapter 306: Fighting an emergency is like putting out a fire

"Okay, I won't say much more. Later, you can take the doctors and nurses who are not on duty, as well as those who will be called back after a break, and all of them will go to the pediatric department to support them. I have made an agreement with Director Cai of the Department of Pediatrics. , then you will be responsible for a pediatric ward and emergency department."

Seeing Zhao Sheng's unambiguous attitude, Li Weidong nodded with great relief.

This kind of thing can actually be refused. After all, Zhao Sheng is not a professional pediatrician. If he wants to refuse, he can find [-] reasons.

"give it to me."

Zhao Sheng nodded. At this moment, he deeply felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

After a while, the morning meeting began. After Li Weidong explained the situation, there was an uproar below. Everyone knew that the situation was serious, but they did not expect that it was serious enough to require support from people from the critical emergency center.

After the meeting, Zhao Sheng and the people who were going to the pediatric support department quickly arrived at the pediatric building.

There were more than ten people supporting this time, including doctors and nurses. With these people, Zhao Sheng came to the pediatric clinic.

Cai Lijun, the director of pediatrics who was already waiting in the emergency hall, saw Zhao Sheng coming. Cai Lijun felt like she had seen a savior.

As the director of pediatrics, it is difficult for her in this special period!

There are more than a thousand registrations every day. Even if the pediatricians are divided into several parts and operated at full capacity, they will not be able to finish.

If it wasn't already so difficult, she wouldn't have opened up to the hospital.

Seeing the very vicissitudes and haggard Cai Lijun, Zhao Sheng also felt a little uncomfortable.

We are all doctors, and as a pediatrician, you have to bear a lot!

"Director Cai, how is the situation now?"

As soon as Zhao Sheng came, he got straight to the point without any nonsense.

"The situation is very bad now. This season is originally the peak period for upper respiratory tract infections, but this year's peak of infection came too early, especially the number of children infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae has increased significantly."

"So far, today's number has reached [-], which has exceeded the number of yesterday's whole day."

Cai Lijun said with a wry smile.

"Director Cai, this is what I think. Children with severe pneumonia and those at risk of febrile convulsions can be concentrated in one ward, and I can lead people to deal with them. In this way, the doctors on the pediatric side can be freed up. Come, deal with emergency children faster."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said that the doctors he brought over were good at dealing with severe and emergency cases. If they only looked at colds and fevers, they would be overqualified.

He has taken down the hardest part, so the pressure on pediatricians will be much less.

The most critical thing now is to eliminate the backlog of registrations and treat as many children as possible. In this regard, pediatric doctors are obviously better at this.

Although the doctor he brought over was good at dealing with critical and severe cases, he was obviously not as good as a specialized pediatrician in treating general pediatric emergencies.

"That's great, Director Zhao, thank you so much!"

Hearing Zhao Sheng's words, Cai Lijun's nose felt sore and she was almost in tears. This was a rare situation for a director of pediatrics.

It's really because it's been so difficult for her these days.

This peak of infection comes quickly and urgently. Many children will develop severe pneumonia if they delay the treatment of the disease for a little while. Severe pneumonia in children is not only urgent, but also difficult to effectively control and treat.

Zhao Sheng was able to take the initiative to take down the hardest nut to crack, which for Cai Lijun can be said to have greatly reduced her burden. Among other things, for the treatment of serious respiratory diseases such as severe pneumonia and acute respiratory distress, Doctors in pediatrics are not necessarily as good as doctors in critical care centers. “Everyone is a part of the hospital, Director Cai, let’s allocate tasks next.”

Zhao Sheng didn't talk nonsense. At this time, if he could deal with one more child, he would be able to reduce some of the pressure. It would be good if everyone worked together to get through this period.

"it is good."

Cai Lijun nodded vigorously, holding Zhao Sheng's hands tightly, with tears in her eyes. This time, the support from the critical emergency center can really be said to be a help in times of need.

Soon, Zhao Sheng led people to a newly established ward. This ward was also set up urgently in the past few days to deal with seriously ill children.

Zhang Ying, deputy director of pediatrics, was already waiting here. When she saw Zhao Sheng coming, she immediately said excitedly to Zhao Sheng: "Director Zhao, you are here!"

"Director Zhang, how is the situation now?"

Zhao Sheng asked simply when he saw Zhang Ying who also looked tired and haggard.

"Director Zhao, I have several children with severe pneumonia who need ECMO. It would be nice if you came."

Zhang Ying almost breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhao Sheng coming.

ECMO, full Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, Chinese name extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is a medical emergency technology used to replace the patient's heart and lung function and support the patient's life. ECMO plays a vital role in the treatment of severe children, providing patients with Provide respiratory and circulatory support to help them get through this.

The core components of ECMO include pumps, oxygenators and membrane lungs. The pump is responsible for drawing blood out of the body, oxygenating it through the oxygenator, and then returning the oxygen-rich blood to the body through the membrane lung. The function of the oxygenator is to remove carbon dioxide from the blood and replenish oxygen at the same time. The membrane lung It helps the blood complete gas exchange so that the blood can be re-injected into the patient's body.

ECMO is an advanced emergency technology that can play an important role in the critical treatment of children. It can be said that ECMO is a life-saving treatment for children with critical illnesses.

But due to the advanced nature of this technology, even in the pediatric department of a major tertiary hospital like the First Affiliated Hospital, there are only a few doctors who can master this technology.

In normal times, it may be enough for the director, deputy director and a few attending doctors to master this technology, but now, it is obviously not enough.

At this critical moment, it is understandable that children who need ECMO to save their lives but do not have access to this technical support are waiting for the results of the patients and their families.

As for this kind of technology, the doctors in the critical care center are extremely good at it.

"Okay, I'll take over right away."

"Director Zhang, it looks like you haven't slept for several days. Go and take a rest."

Zhao Sheng looked at Zhang Ying and saw that she had not slept for several days. If she continued like this, she might suddenly collapse.

"I'm fine, Director Zhao."

Zhang Ying waved her hands and said with force.

She has indeed been spinning for several days, but there is no way. Today's pediatrics cannot do without her, especially for the treatment of extremely severe children. Only the director, deputy director and a few senior attending doctors are competent.

Soon, Zhao Sheng also forced Zhang Ying to go to the duty room to rest for a few hours, and he and the doctors and nurses from the critical emergency center also devoted themselves to work.
