Chapter 830: 【830】Pollution Risk Chapter 830: 【830】Pollution Risk Doctor Yin Fengchun personally rushed to the laboratory departnt because of the fruit knife removed from the patient’s abdominal cavity during surgery. The knife not only brought sharp physical damage but also substantial contamination.
The latter threat to life was not less significant than the forr. Otherwise, President Wu would not have made that conservative remark near the end of the surgery, suggesting that they might need to continue with a nephrectomy.
The fruit knife was sent to the laboratory departnt to check and find any sources of contamination.
“Is there contamination on the knife?” Upon hearing this, others asked the surgeon who operated.
That was why Cao Yong and Tao Zhijie spoke cautiously. The knife they removed last night emitted an odor. It seed that it had recently cut so fruit and was not cleaned properly before being used to stab soone. At least several obvious stains were visible on the exposed handle of the knife, leaving the doctors utterly shocked and chilled to the core.
The abdon is particularly vulnerable to contamination. For example, if the gastrointestinal tract ruptures, post-surgical repairs might fail if the abdominal cavity isn’t cleaned thoroughly, leading to peritonitis. The kidneys aren’t gastrointestinal organs and aren’t accustod to such foreign bodies; thus, the consequences can be severely grave once contaminated.
One could only say that Li Yaxi, who heard soone would use that knife on her, completely lost her composure, not even considering the state of the knife. Moreover, ordinary people are not like doctors; they do not know such contamination could carry such grave secondary risks.
Certainly, during the ergency surgery last night, the operating surgeon was aware of these risks and had taken appropriate redial actions, such as vigorously irrigating the abdominal cavity, hoping to clean it thoroughly and prevent further infection. However, the human body isn’t a simple vessel like a bowl; its complex and convoluted structural layout makes hiding contaminants too easy, which is why drainage tubes must be left in place and further washing or even reopening of the abdominal cavity might be necessary depending on the progression of the condition.
Upon understanding the situation, Wei Tianlang asked Xia Dongxian another question, “Was the tetanus shot administered yesterday?”
“The tetanus antitoxin was administered.”
“For safety, give her an additional injection of 3000 units of tetanus immunoglobulin today.”
“It’s considered. They briefed this last night.” Xia Dongxian picked up the notebook recorded last night, adding, “Doctor Yin sent the abdominal drainage fluid for testing at the laboratory departnt. The drainage bag you now see has been changed once, personally by Doctor Yin.”
A group of doctors exchanged quiet glances: this young man is very kind to girls.
It was worriso enough that they needed to test the drainage fluid.
Xie Wanying glanced casually.
Wu Lixuan, barely lucid after anesthesia and shock, should be in a state between sleep and wakefulness, faintly hearing outside conversations but too exhausted to speak herself. This ant she could hear what they were saying.
Her childhood friend seed to blink her eyelids.
Xie Wanying thought perhaps, as Senior Cao said, her childhood friend’s spring could make up for the regrets.
The ICU does not allow anyone but the dical staff treating the patient to remain inside. Xie Wanying, having visited with the teachers, was ordered to leave.
As she left, Tao Zhijie walked alongside her, observing her expression and gently advised, “Take a good rest for a couple of days.”
She wasn’t allowed to work even the half-day shift on Saturday.
Thinking she might resist since she was fervent in her studies, to his surprise, she simply replied, “Yes, Senior.”
Xie Wanying thought to hurry and buy a hot water bottle and topical dicinal wine for Senior Cao.
