The reason is that this equipnt is extrely expensive, and all of it needs to be imported. The national budget cannot support widespread deploynt in public places.
To be healthy, the economy needs to progress first, industries need to develop, and we need to be able to make it ourselves.
In such an environnt, many people don’t know what this device is. It’s understandable that flight attendants see it as a threat like wolves and tigers rather than a life-saving instrunt. They could bring it on the plane only because they are dical personnel; otherwise, they couldn’t even carry it on board. However, using it is currently out of the question.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanying decisively pulled her hand back, not daring to turn it on.
Doctors must abide by the law, regardless of the era.
It’s impossible to use it to take an ECG for the patient. She originally just wanted to take an ECG to verify her brain’s hypothesis and provide more accurate guidance for the patient’s treatnt plan. Now, with no other options, she has to rely entirely on her brain by gritting her teeth.
Holding the patient’s neck, this patient has not reached right heart failure or total heart failure and does not have jugular vein distension. The carotid pulse is weak, and the patient’s skin feels cold and clammy, covered in cold sweat. The patient’s consciousness is fading at any mont. By opening the patient’s eyelid, she might see the signal of panic from pre-death in the patient’s eyes. The whole body tissue is in a low perfusion state, indicating it’s on the verge of cardiogenic shock.
Lu Xin brought the blood pressure monitor and quickly asured the patient’s blood pressure. The systolic pressure dropped below 90, and diastolic pressure reached 50. It’s dangerous.
To perform another Precordial Thump? Impossible. The patient now is bradycardic, with heart failure caused by hypothyroidism characterized by bradycardia.
Patients like this one don’t have atrioventricular block; it’s not solved by a pacemaker but requires auxiliary devices for the Left Ventricle in heart failure. It requires interventional cardiology surgery, such as intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation, or even surgical intervention to install a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD).
Can local hospitals around the Capital perform such surgeries? They can’t. Even the small hospitals and big hospitals can’t do it. Such technology belongs to advanced specialized techniques, and it has not been fully promoted dostically.
This kind of patient can only seek life-saving treatnt at Capital Hospital. That’s why she was considering whether the patient could directly fly to the Capital for treatnt. Her brain had already estimated that the sa risk would occur on a flight if it made an ergency landing at another airport. The probability of such an incident happening to this patient is high everywhere, just like her cousin. By the ti an ambulance transports the patient to Capital Hospital, it may be too late.
Xie Wanying raised her head.
The flight attendant understood her look and went to inform the captain.
The captain and the co-pilot, upon receiving the cabin’s situation report, made the Decisive Mont, grasping every possible opportunity to land the plane as soon as possible.
The dical personnel here needed to do everything possible to buy more ti for the patient.
"Switch the breathing bag," Xie Wanying issued the next instruction.
Lu Xin took the breathing bag from the ergency kit they carried.
The breathing bag is commonly known as a simple respirator. You can think of it as a very basic ventilator. Its function is similar to that of a ventilator, providing artificial ventilation to patients with respiratory failure. Besides replacing the ventilator, the breathing bag can substitute for mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose breathing during CPR by dical personnel. Having a tool is certainly much better than the dical staff toiling to blow air themselves.
It’s a device for providing artificial ventilation to the patient, consisting expectedly of an intake valve, exhaust valve, and a manually controlled part for adjusting the rhythm of air intake and exhaust: a squeezable bag operated by hand.
