Chen Cang said to Shi Na, "Ms. Shi, let me do it!"

Shi Na, who was struggling, paused and stepped down.

She rolled up her sleeves, wiped the sweat off her face, and were those tears...?

Chen Cang noticed the tears in Shi Na’s eyes and was momentarily taken aback, "Ms. Shi... you?"

Shi Na shook her head, "I’m fine, just a bit fatigued from staring at the laryngoscope."

After speaking, Shi Na moved aside.

Chen Cang didn’t doubt her words and stood up to move forward.

The difficulty of intubating a patient with a short neck was indeed too high, which had caused Shi Na to sweat profusely.

Seeing Chen Cang arrive, everyone’s faces lit up with joy, not knowing when it had started, but Chen Cang had suddenly become a pillar of strength in the emergency department, someone they could rely on during critical moments!

Chen Cang held the laryngoscope in one hand, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

After composing himself, just as he was about to start the procedure, Shi Na suddenly frowned, "Have you been drinking?"

Chen Cang shook his head, "No, it won’t affect me, I just ate some ’Drunken Peanuts.’"

Shi Na: ...

The people around them were also speechless.

If he had been drinking, continuing the procedure would worry everyone.

Tracheal intubation isn’t without its risks, and improper handling can be very dangerous.

Chen Cang was actually quite speechless too; after using the strength potion, indeed, although the effects of alcohol were gone, for some reason, his breath still retained the smell of alcohol, which was quite annoying...

Definitely because the product wasn’t mature yet!

Chen Cang steadied himself and inserted the laryngoscope through the mouth into the pharynx, carefully searching.

The doctor from the respiratory department cautiously said, "Dr. Chen, can you find the ’life gate’?"

This was a saying everyone used.

Because, during tracheal intubation, if the vocal cords could be seen, it was like finding the "life gate!"

Indeed, for tracheal intubation, the vocal cords are the life gate!

Chen Cang frowned, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I can’t see it!"

The difficulty was indeed significant!

Chen Cang held his breath and concentrated, continuing to delve deeper. As he lifted with his left hand and applied a gentle force with his right, finally, the vocal cords were exposed!

The process might look effortless and simple to talk about, but Chen Cang’s left hand had exerted significant strength to lift the vocal cords.

Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief!

Thank goodness for the laryngoscope, or else the difficulty would have been even greater.

Shi Na and others watched carefully around him, and seeing Chen Cang expose the vocal cords, they couldn’t help but excitedly clench their fists and wave them vigorously!

Lele cried out, "I can’t do it anymore, switch someone else, I don’t have the strength in my hands."

Indeed, since Chen Cang had come in, the external chest compressions hadn’t stopped for even a minute.

Lucky that Lele was strong and robust, not just anyone could have continued in his place.

Little Lin heard this and quickly stepped forward to start the compressions!

Honestly, Little Lin was rather slender, and in comparison to the man lying on the bed, he was as thin as a stick.

But Little Lin was surprisingly strong.

And his chest compressions were incredibly accurate.

The ribcage undulated continuously!

The patient’s body fats also shook relentlessly, rhythmic though it appeared, yet... this made the difficulty of intubation rise again.

The external chest compressions certainly couldn’t be stopped!

But the intubation also had to be carried out immediately.

The respiratory doctor on the side noticed the difficulty and couldn’t help but say, "Dr. Chen, shall I hold it steady for you?"

Chen Cang said, "Pass me the tube."

The other party nodded and handed it over!

Chen Cang acted with quick eyes and hands, securely holding the patient’s head and neck with one hand while grasping the catheter with the right, swiftly inserting the tube!

The entire process took less than 5 seconds!

Chen Cang turned around, "Ventilator!"

Lele’s eyes lit up as he looked at Chen Cang and couldn’t help but say, "Dr. Chen is really effective!"

As he spoke, he quickly connected the ventilator.

The respiratory consultant behind him also couldn’t help but praise.

Meanwhile, Shi Na breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Xiao Chen."

At that moment, Shi Na suddenly realized that her back was soaked with sweat, out of sheer fright.

Several nurses quickly began the next steps, connecting the ventilator and adjusting its settings, while Xiao Lin, Lele, and the others took turns performing chest compressions.

Shi Na finally regained some composure and started giving instructions.

"Epinephrine!"

One dose...

Two doses...

...

In total, five doses of epinephrine were used during the uninterrupted ten minutes of chest compressions!

Lele suddenly shouted, "We’ve got it, we’ve got it!"

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a heartbeat appearing on the cardiac monitor.

Shi Na’s eyes lit up instantly.

Had they finally brought the patient back?

Chen Cang quickly took out a flashlight to check the patient’s pupils, only to find both pupils dilated, with no response to light!

Chen Cang cursed under his breath and said to the others, "Pupillary light reflex has disappeared on both sides, and the pupils are dilated. It’s serious! What happened to the patient?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Na’s stance faltered slightly, and Lele quickly supported her, "Sister Na, what’s wrong?"

Shi Na braced herself on the bed frame and sat down to one side, "I’m fine, just a bit exhausted. I suspect the patient has had a cerebral hemorrhage!"

With that statement, a silence fell over the room.

Cerebral hemorrhage, coupled with cardiac arrest and such poor oxygen saturation—the prognosis would be surprising if it were good!

Although nobody voiced it out loud...

Under these circumstances, the prognosis was clearly very poor, and they might need to prepare for the worst.

Seeing that there was nothing more to do, the respiratory consultant left after making his presence known, as he still had to be on duty.

Seeing Shi Na in such a state, Chen Cang couldn’t help saying, "Professor Shi, I’ll go talk to the patient’s family. You should rest early tonight; I’ll take over your shift."

That’s right!

Although he did not know why Shi Na was so fatigued, she was clearly in no condition to take a night shift.

After speaking, Chen Cang made to get up and leave, but at that moment Shi Na shook her head and said, "Xiao Chen, this is my... father-in-law. I’ll go explain things to the family."

At her words, everyone was taken aback!

All eyes incredulously turned towards Shi Na.

No wonder Shi Na had seemed so panicked—facing such an event would unsettle anyone.

As the saying goes, physicians cannot heal themselves.

Many people tend to panic when dealing with their own relatives.

Chen Cang nodded.

However, Shi Na still said, "Well... I’ll also stay for the night shift tonight, let me explain the patient’s condition to you."

"The patient is a 62-year-old male, brought in by ambulance to the hospital half an hour ago. He experienced severe headaches at noon, which gradually worsened. There was no vomiting. Today at work they didn’t take it seriously and didn’t tell me. After dinner this evening, he suddenly vomited out his food, and was then sent to the emergency department by ambulance."

"After finding out, I suspected cerebral hemorrhage and wanted to perform a cranial CT scan. He has a long history of hypertension and diabetes, and is currently taking Spironolactone and Metformin... but he fell into a coma and then had a cardiac arrest, with no time for the scan!"

Shi Na fluently narrated the patient’s regular medications and vital signs in detail.

Finally, she added, "The cause of the episode was... emotional agitation."
