Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 227 - 148: Late-Night Car Crash, Degloving Injury!

Chapter 227: Chapter 148: Late-Night Car Crash, Degloving Injury!

In the ICU,

Qin Feng and Zhou Xianren arrived outside the monitoring room together.

"Old Zhou, Xiaoxin, what brings you here tonight?"

Director Qi, who was on duty tonight in the ICU, was quite surprised to see the two of them.

"I’m here to check on Chai Zhongjun. How is he doing?"

Qin Feng looked through the glass at the hospital bed inside the room and asked with a smile.

"Rest assured, he’s doing well. The surgery was very successful, and he’s recovering nicely now."

Director Qi nodded, looking quite satisfied, and suddenly turned his head curiously to look at him,

"I must say, for a ruptured aorta to recover so well after two and a half hours is truly a miracle! Oh, by the way, I heard from Zhang Fan from cardiothoracic surgery that you used acupuncture to keep this patient alive?"

"Acupuncture to keep him alive? What’s going on?"

At this, even Zhou Xianren was taken aback, casting a surprised look as well.

"Actually, it’s not that mysterious. It was just ventricular fibrillation, and we couldn’t use a defibrillator."

Qin Feng explained with a grin.

"Ventricular fibrillation without a defibrillator? How does acupuncture stop that?"

Zhou Xianren immediately became energized by the question and continued to inquire further.

Then Qin Feng carefully explained the process and the principle, and the two of them looked at each other, both seeing the shock and confusion in each other’s eyes.

Using acupuncture to unblock the major meridian points throughout the body and finally directly stimulate the heart’s arteries with an electric shock to stop the ventricular fibrillation.

Although theoretically, it’s all about using electrical pulses to affect the heart.

But using acupuncture to conduct electricity — it’s something they had never heard of in their decades of medical education.

Even among those authentic traditional Chinese medicine masters they had met, none were so fantastical!

It’s simply a miracle!

Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle slightly.

Of course, he was also partly gambling on his method!

But he had bet correctly!

Among the ancient acupuncture techniques passed down, there indeed were instances where acupuncture was used to stimulate a heart that had stopped or was beating too rapidly.

There were successes, but also failures.

And it wasn’t until late Qing dynasty that electrical stimulation experiments were actually conducted.

Plus, given Chai Zhongjun’s urgent condition at the time, there was no way out if he hadn’t done it this way!

This was also Qin Feng’s first time attempting something with some confidence.

The outcome was within the range of his expectations.

"Director Qin, oh Director Qin, you have truly opened our eyes!"

Director Qi couldn’t help but shake his head in amazement, his face full of admiration,

"You have no idea, when Old Zhang told me about this, he was so excited, it was as if he was happier than when he got promoted to department head."

Qin Feng just smiled without saying a word.

"Qin Feng, can your method of acupuncture defibrillation be summarized into a complete emergency response system?"

Zhou Xianren asked eagerly, grabbing him quickly.

"A complete emergency response system?"

Qin Feng was taken aback by these words, a bright glint flashed in his eyes.

Yes!

That’s actually a great idea!

If this acupuncture defibrillation method is successfully trialed clinically, it can be widely promoted throughout the hospital.

Especially in emergency and cardiac surgery, it’s extremely useful!

"There should be hope, but it requires a lot of clinical samples to back it up."

Qin Feng nodded at Zhou Xianren’s eager gaze and said in a deep voice.

"That’s great!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianren excitedly clapped his hands and spun around in joy,

"If that’s the case, then we can safely and effectively rescue patients who can’t use a defibrillator!"

"This method is great, Qin Feng, if possible, report it to the hospital administration meeting, and I’ll wholeheartedly support it!"

Director Qi immediately nodded in agreement, smiling with great joy,

"If this can be applied for as a national invention, it’ll definitely make your name famous across the country!"

Hearing Director Qi’s words, Qin Feng’s heart couldn’t help but be stirred.

National invention?

This kind of medical invention could absolutely stun the medical community nationwide and even worldwide!

It’s simply the most effective rescue method in the emergency department!

And it’s a Chinese medicine method, there’s no better way to vindicate and promote Chinese medicine than this.

It can be done!

"Alright!"

Qin Feng immediately agreed,

"I will quickly implement this emergency project and establish a complete acupuncture defibrillation method."

The eyes of all three were filled with excitement and anticipation.

Who would’ve thought that just by visiting the ICU, due to a single sentence from Director Qi and Zhou Xianren’s hopes, a significant medical emergency method could be formed.

It surpassed everyone’s expectations!

Shortly after,

the three discussed briefly, and Qin Feng and Zhou Xianren left.

Just returning to emergency, and without having a chance to sit down yet.

Suddenly,

the phone at the nurse’s station rang.

"First Hospital of the City..."

....

In Jiangcheng City’s downtown,

at half-past ten on the roadside,

a woman wearing a Meituan delivery uniform sat next to a boy about seven or eight years old.

The delivery scooter was parked by the roadside, and the mother and son sat on the edge of the road, each holding a multi-grain pancake in hand.

"Dear son, if you’re hungry, hurry up and eat."

The woman gently patted the little boy’s head, her face full of affection and tenderness.

"Mm!"

The little boy nodded and started eating in big bites,

"Mommy... you eat too."

"Mommy’s not hungry, after you finish eating, I’ll take you back and let Grandma put you to bed. School starts tomorrow."

The woman shook her head, a warm smile on her face, as she glanced at the time on her phone.

The little boy seemed very hungry and soon finished the pancake cleanly.

"I’m done eating."

The little boy drank a few sips of water and contentedly patted his belly.

"Alright, I’ll take you home."

The woman stood up, pushed over the bicycle, and the little boy climbed onto the back seat as they headed home.

"Mommy, when are you coming back?"

"Mommy will come back after delivering a few more orders. Don’t wait up for me, go to bed early, okay?"

"Mm, got it."

The woman contentedly and confidently rode the bike, but seeing her son being so sensible, she felt a pang of grievance and sorrow in her heart.

A furious man’s face appeared before her eyes, along with fierce curses.

If it weren’t for that man leaving abruptly for a mistress outside, slamming the door and refusing to return for two or three months,

No matter how she reached out, he wouldn’t come back.

Even when she humbly begged, she couldn’t move his cold heart.

After all, if they divorced, it would be the child who suffered.

She didn’t want her son to grow up in a single-parent family; it would be such a huge psychological blow to him!

Amidst the anger and grievances, she saw the green light ahead start to flash, turning to yellow.

The woman, in a moment of distraction, realized it was too late to brake and accelerated straight through.

Screech~

At that moment,

a light suddenly flashed, followed by an ear-piercing screech of brakes.

The woman saw a car rushing from her left, and before she could react, she felt herself violently struck, being flung into the air.

Even though the car slammed on the brakes, it was too close to stop in time.

Through the car window, it could be seen that the woman had been knocked away while the little boy on the back seat should have also been flung out but miraculously stopped midair, then fell heavily to the ground with the bicycle.

At that moment, there weren’t too many or too few people on the road, but the screech and crash drew everyone’s attention.

The car finally stopped, and the driver hurriedly opened the door, coming down to witness the scene, utterly dumbfounded.

With trembling hands, he pulled out his phone to dial 110 and 120.

...

Ring ring ring~

"City First Hospital."

"There’s been a traffic accident on Yellow River Road in the city center. A woman and a child were hit; the woman lost consciousness, the boy has fractures in his legs and arms and an avulsion injury on the foot, arriving in 10 minutes!"

The urgent voice of the rescue personnel came through the phone, startling the head emergency nurse!

"Okay!"

Click!

Hanging up, she quickly ran towards the emergency room.

"Traffic accident! A woman and a child! The woman is unconscious, the child has multiple fractures and an avulsion injury; be quick to get ready to receive them!"

With a loud shout, the nurses on duty immediately got up to start preparing emergency equipment.

The head nurse rushed back to her office and pushed the door open.

The attending doctors on emergency duty tonight were Xiao Jing and another male doctor.

"Dr. Xiao, there’s a patient coming in, a traffic accident, adult unconscious, child with multiple fractures and avulsion injury."

"What?!"

Xiao Jing sprang up, her expression drastically changing as she rushed out,

"Contact orthopedics, neurosurgery, internal medicine, and cardiothoracic surgery for a consultation immediately."

"Already contacted."

The head nurse nodded and said.

Traffic accident,

one of the most likely incidents to cause multiple complex injuries.

Injuries from vehicle impacts, unless they are minor scrapes, usually result in complex harm primarily involving fractures and secondarily affecting organs, brain, nerves, etc.

They are extremely difficult to deal with!

The avulsion injury mentioned by the head nurse is an exceedingly cruel injury!

Avulsion injuries, also known as degloving injuries, involve the circumferential loss of nerve-supplied skin and tactile surface. They often come with nerve, vessel, and tendon avulsions.

Simplified, it refers to when limbs are crushed and the wheels’ rotation creates a strong gripping and pulling force, causing the skin to separate from the muscle deep fascia, resulting in a cavity-like change or skin rupturing and tearing away.

It directly tears skin, muscle, nerves apart and rips them off the bone in pieces!

(Strongly do not recommend searching for avulsion injuries, it will ruin your appetite!)

It’s an injury that makes anyone shudder with horror!

In cases of traffic accidents causing avulsion injuries, the likelihood of amputation is extremely high! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

So when doctors hear the words avulsion injury, even experienced veterans get tense.

Because this type of injury can be minor or severe, and in serious cases, it can be utterly terrifying!

Woo woo woo~ woo woo woo~ woo woo woo~

A few minutes later,

an emergency vehicle raced through the green channel, stopping at the emergency entrance.

Clack!

The car door opened, and a rescue worker jumped out.

"Quick! The unconscious one is in the back!"

"Move the bed! 1, 2, 3!"

The woman was placed on a hospital bed and immediately taken into the emergency room.

As the first emergency vehicle left, another one followed right on its tail.

All the medical staff’s hearts were in their throats.

The avulsion injury case had arrived!
