Great Medical System in a Veterinarian-Chapter 340 - 166: I’m Numb, Life-and-Death Crisis—Are You Trying to Kill Me?

Chapter 340: Chapter 166: I’m Numb, Life-and-Death Crisis—Are You Trying to Kill Me?

[System Prompt: Today at noon, this patient accidentally fell from a chair while cleaning at home, hit their head on the ground, and fainted for about thirty minutes, resulting in a left hand fracture, minor cerebral hemorrhage, mild concussion, and aneurysm rupture. The use of anesthesia during surgery has triggered a strong reaction, and it is estimated to be accompanied by the following in two minutes: 1. Unexplained tachycardia, 2. Significant increase in end-tidal CO2 for unknown reasons, 3. Rapid breathing, 4. Muscle rigidity, 5. Rapid rise in body temperature. Five minutes later, the temperature increase will far exceed normal mechanisms, followed by tea-colored urine, muscle breakdown, arrhythmias, bleeding, convulsions, and ultimately death. Please report immediately and proceed with rescue for malignant hyperthermia. Successful rescue will reward the system with a big gift!]

That’s a long system prompt!

Zhang Lingchuan carefully read through each piece of information.

In the next moment, he was completely numb!

Why didn’t it show up earlier?! Isn’t this a trap!!

It must be noted that the anesthesia is already in the body.

Damn it!

[Kind Reminder: Malignant hyperthermia is classified as a genetic mutation or defect in some humans. The current system does not have the capability to pre-warn genetic defects or mutations. It can only be detected when the defect or mutation is triggered.]

Almost simultaneously, another prompt appeared in front of him from the system.

It’s an explanation for why it wasn’t scanned earlier.

Alright, so it turns out the capability is limited.

"Teacher Fang, please hold on a second. I’ve noticed something off with this patient after the anesthesia was administered."

Zhang Lingchuan was fidgeting, knowing it was confirmed as malignant hyperthermia, but how should he get everyone to cooperate with him in saving the patient?

Should he really shout "malignant hyperthermia"?

That would be too abrupt.

The others might not believe him.

"Huh? Something’s off? Xiaochuan, what’s off about the anesthesia?"

Dr. Luo caught the keyword "anesthesia" and asked with a puzzled expression, as he was in charge of it.

"Yes, Xiaochuan; Old Luo is preparing to be promoted to deputy director this year. He’s a veteran chief anesthetist, so there wouldn’t be an issue with the anesthesia, and the patient’s ECG, blood oxygen, and blood pressure are all fine."

Dr. Fang quickly added.

After all, this wasn’t a small matter; it was questioning an anesthetist.

Seems like people recommended by Vice Huang feel a bit dense.

Hard to handle.

"Teacher Luo must have done it correctly; it should be the patient’s problem."

Zhang Lingchuan said.

His mind was racing. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Huh? The patient’s problem?"

Dr. Fang and the others exchanged glances.

Their expressions were somewhat bewildered.

While checking the ECG monitor as well, they found nothing wrong.

Yin Xiaoxiao was also dumbfounded, wondering what Dr. Xiaochuan was doing.

"Ah! Looks like I’m just in time; what’s this about the patient’s own issue, Xiaochuan?"

At this moment, the surgical room door opened.

Huang Xiangning walked in.

The hat and such were already worn, and Yin Xiaoxiao helped put on the sterile gown.

She inquired with some curiosity.

"Teacher Huang, look, the operating room is cold, but ever since the anesthesia was administered, the patient’s temperature has remained at 36.5; this is extremely abnormal."

Zhang Lingchuan touched the patient’s hand and spoke.

With no concrete evidence, he had to find proof to verify his claims.

And past experience told him.

Temperature, heart rate—these are external manifestations of malignant hyperthermia.

But now, the patient’s temperature is subtly rising.

It just hadn’t manifested yet.

Because normally a patient’s temperature drops during surgery.

But this patient was bizarrely maintaining a temperature of 36.5 degrees.

"This temperature is odd indeed; could it be an issue with the temperature line setup?"

With this reminder, Dr. Luo also noticed something slightly amiss and inquired to an assistant.

The patient is on IV fluids; normally, temperature would decrease.

"Teacher Luo, oral temperature; there shouldn’t be a problem."

The assistant responded.

"Look! It’s rising! 36.6 degrees!!"

At that moment.

There was indeed a sign of the temperature increasing.

Zhang Lingchuan immediately pointed to the temperature monitor and said.

"Xiaoluo, hold off on the anesthesia for now."

Huang Xiangning immediately said; if anyone else suggested it, she wouldn’t believe it.

But Xiaochuan was too unique.

Because based on her knowledge, his diagnoses of stomach cancer and trophoblastic cancer yesterday were confirmed.

Could it be pulse reading again??

She just noticed him touching the anesthetized patient’s wrist.

"Huh? Vice Huang, we’re conducting a demonstration class here... It wouldn’t be appropriate to just stop, right? There are observers."

Dr. Luo and Dr. Fang were both stunned, confused about what was happening.

Incredibly, Vice Huang really trusted Xiaochuan, asking to stop the anesthesia.

This is unreasonable.

Vice Huang is a seasoned professor, and coupled with her character, it doesn’t seem like she’s playing along with some second-generation craziness.

Hospital research room.

"This..."

The instructor watching the live broadcast recording was also somewhat dumbfounded.

"Teacher Luo! The temperature went up again! 36.8 degrees!!"

At the same time, the assistant monitoring the temperature exclaimed sharply, breaking the short-lived silence.

Extremely excited.

"What’s going on! I’ll check the IV; find the cause!"

Old Luo was completely bewildered.

The temperature line was fine, especially since the anesthesia was also stopped now. Why was the patient’s temperature still rising? Could it be a reaction to the IV?
