Capítulo 1447: Chapter 1447: No Instrunts
Seeing that thing lying on the velvet inside the box, it’s well protected. The thin tal stick has a small mirror attached, sowhat like a dental mirror but longer. So it’s definitely not a dental mirror, it’s indeed a laryngoscope.
But—
“An antique.” Zhang Huayao opened his mouth to criticize.
What kind of laryngoscope is an antique laryngoscope? It’s an indirect laryngoscope, pretty much one of the earliest laryngoscope structures invented. The thin, long tal rod allows the attached mirror to be inserted deep into the patient’s oral cavity, letting doctors observe the condition of the patient’s throat through the reflection. At this ti, the situation seen through the mirror is opposite to the actual internal structure of the body, hence it’s called an indirect laryngoscope.
This thing is now often used in the ENT departnt for regular examinations. It’s very cost-effective to use it for regular patient check-ups. A single indirect laryngoscopy costs about ten yuan, very cheap, unlike other laryngoscope examinations, which can easily cost hundreds. However, in ergency rescue, such an antique is useless.
Doctors at least need a direct laryngoscope, an electronic one isn’t necessary. A major function of a direct laryngoscope is to help doctors insert a foreign body forceps into the trachea to remove obstructions.
Zhang Huayao picked up the indirect laryngoscope, sighed, and reluctantly decided to give it a try.
Even the cleverest housewife can’t cook without rice.
“I’ll go look again,” Lin Liqiong turned around and decided to do what she could.
Seeing this, the nurse ran off with her to find ergency equipnt.
The doctors on site looked back at the indirect laryngoscope.
When ENT doctors use an indirect laryngoscope, they wear a headlamp with a concave mirror on their forehead to focus the light, paired with a light source, which allows a clearer view of the deeper areas inside the patient’s mouth.
Inside the small box, Zhang Huayao rummaged back and forth, finding only one indirect laryngoscope and nothing else. Forget it, might as well use this thing to check the child’s throat condition first.
The conditions were extrely crude, but Zhang Huayao wanted to swear, shouting, “Can’t you get an electrocardiograph?”
The child’s condition is such that the heartbeat could stop at any ti. An electrocardiograph must be set up, along with a breathing bag, defibrillator, those that can be brought over should be brought over quickly.
The boss shouted out loud. The nurse turned to get the electrocardiograph and other rescue equipnt.
“Senior, are you tired? I’ll take over,” Xie Wanying rolled up her sleeves and said.
Cao Yong had been performing chest compressions on the child. Don’t underestimate a child’s small body as if it doesn’t take much effort to do this. However, dical procedures all have stringent condition requirents. Like chest compressions, if too much force is used, it can harm the diaphragm, causing diaphragm rupture, life-threatening diaphragmatic hernia. Children are fragile; it’s easy to accidentally press the short ribs and damage the spleen or liver, etc. These require doctors to control their hand strength to achieve as precise an operation as possible. This greatly demands the doctor’s physical stamina.
“No need.” Cao Yong directly refused her offer to take over, indicating he wasn’t tired. Besides, he knew it was more important for her to help Zhang Huayao determine exactly where the cotton was lodged in the child’s airway.
Senior Cao seed to have plenty of energy, leaving Xie Wanying reassured. She turned back and used a flashlight to help Teacher Zhang illuminate inside the child’s mouth.
Zhang Huayao inserted the indirect laryngoscope into the child’s mouth.
Such simple conditions really tested the doctor’s vision.
