Chapter 104: [104] Overnight Success 3
“You may speak,” the director said. Upon reflection, Doctor Wang thought perhaps Director Lv wanted Xie Wanying to be publicly embarrassed, thus he let her continue.
“Before, when the patient fell in our dressing room, she spoke breathlessly, seemingly due to emotional agitation. But with careful observation, it’s not hard to notice that the patient’s breathing wasn’t entirely rapid; there were pauses, which may explain why she suddenly fell while talking. This suggests the possibility of disordered breathing. Disordered breathing could involve the respiratory center, that is, the brain stem, or there could be an issue with the blood supply to the cerebral artery. If this were the case, the patient might already be experiencing Cheyne-Stokes respiration.” By the end of Xie Wanying’s explanation, she didn’t need to physically check the patient; her special ability allowed her to see the patient’s current state of breathing was indeed Cheyne-Stokes respiration.
The office fell silent initially, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned, shocked by her ability to observe such subtle changes in the patient’s condition!
Cao Yong turned around, his deep gaze fixed on her, recalling the ergency event from years ago, thinking she really was a little fairy—
“Check on the patient!” Cao Yong made a decisive mont and led the team out.
...
Director Lv snapped out of it and followed: “Hurry and check on her!”
Doctor Wang called out: “Is that so? Impossible. The patient had just been taken to the CT room, and she seed fine.”
For neurosurgical patients, one is never sure what might happen the next second.
Director Lv turned back and glared at Doctor Wang.
A large group burst out of the office, dical students trailing behind the clinicians, their murmurs turning into:
“I think what she said might be true!”
“Right, her judgnt is even more accurate than the director’s!”
“My god, is the Guoxie Eight-Year Program producing a genius? Is our dical school about to have a female genius?”
The female dical students were even more excitedly chattering. Being fellow female students, the ergence of such a figure among their ranks was incredible.
No longer would the boys underestimate the girls in surgery.
Due to a lack of beds in the general ward, the patient was temporarily lying in a bed inside the dressing room, waiting to be moved tomorrow.
When the group of doctors arrived, the patient’s son was on the phone at the door: “Yes, that’s the situation with mom right now. The doctors said they are looking at the scans. ——Doctor, how’s my mom?”
Without ti to speak to the patient’s family, the doctors proceeded to check on the patient. Upon examination, a nurse who was about to report to the doctor’s office said, “Dr. Cao, Director Lv, it seems there’s sothing wrong with the patient’s breathing.”
Cheyne-Stokes respiration is also known as chain-stokes breathing, where the patient’s breathing is tidal-like, gradually weakening and then strengthening. If the even more dreadful apneustic breathing occurs, it typically indicates impending death.
As doctors stood by the bedside, they could hear that the patient’s breathing frequency was completely different from a healthy person’s; no need to say more, it was definitely Cheyne-Stokes respiration.
“We need surgery, we must operate imdiately!” Director Lv exclaid.
Huang Zhilei glanced at the person, thinking: As expected, once again this scenario plays out. Previously avoiding examination, now they hurriedly attempt to make ands. This person is always like this. Why? Perhaps because they forever believe that doctors are not just there to see patients?
