Chapter 370 - 252: Opening the Airway and Racing Against Blockage
Very quickly, within just two minutes, a crowd of bystanders gathered on the road.
Moreover, it was rush hour, and traffic in Beijing was already bad, but now it was completely gridlocked.
Sounds of sirens and shouts of alarm were unending, and a traffic officer was desperately urging the crowd to move away.
But the habit of Jiuzhou people to join the crowd couldn’t be changed, and the more people there were, the more they wanted to squeeze to the front, completely blocking the intersection.
"Make way, make way! I am a doctor!"
Just as Qin Feng was pressing hard on the wound and couldn’t leave, suddenly a voice came from the crowd.
Then a man, about thirty years old, squeezed out desperately after seeing Qin Feng kneeling on the ground, pressing down on the bleeding wound, quickly ran up and squatted down.
"Are you a doctor?"
Qin Feng looked up at him and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, I am a thoracic surgeon at Beijing Third Hospital."
"Good, help me press here."
Hearing the man’s words, Qin Feng slightly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked him to take over.
The man didn’t hesitate, and as soon as Qin Feng lifted his hand, he pressed down on the bleeding wound again.
Qin Feng, with his hands full of blood, ran back to his car, opened the trunk, and took out a first-aid kit.
Ever since the first car accident in Beijing, he got into the habit of keeping a small first-aid kit in the car with some common medications and emergency supplies.
When he returned, he found that the driver’s chest was not rising as strongly, his breathing was weakening, and there was a ’gurgling’ sound from his throat.
Qin Feng put on a stethoscope and found that the lung and abdominal sounds were gone.
Chest hemorrhage!
He tore open a syringe and directly punctured it into the chest, slowly drawing out.
Only to see a whole syringe full of blood being drawn out.
"Serious bleeding!"
The doctor across also changed his expression, turned his head, and yelled at the traffic police,
"Officer, clear the crowd quickly!
The ambulance can’t get in, and the person won’t make it!"
Doot doot~
Just as the words fell, the warning sound of a police motorcycle came from the outskirts of the crowd, and the anxious traffic officer breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of sweat.
Reinforcements finally arrived!
At this point, the driver’s pupils were already dilated, consciousness blurry, couldn’t wait any longer.
Now it’s a race against the blockage, or he’ll die for sure!
"I’m preparing to open an airway, you keep pressing down."
Resolve flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes as he glanced at the doctor in front of him and said.
"Wh... what? You’re going to open an airway here?"
The man across was directly dumbfounded upon hearing this, looking at him in disbelief.
"Yes, without opening an airway, he won’t last ten minutes!
Look at this road now, can the ambulance arrive on time?"
Hearing this, the man looked around, his expression suddenly becoming very grim.
"This is too dangerous! What if he dies!"
The man reached out to stop him, still somewhat resistant, seeming not to trust him, also worried the patient might just die,
"Who exactly are you?"
"An attending doctor in critical care at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Qin Feng."
Qin Feng brushed his hand aside and said seriously, "If you don’t save him now, there’s no hope at all. Press down on the wound!"
Hearing his words, the man was somewhat stunned, then his whole body trembled, a shocked expression bursting forth on his face.
An attending doctor at Peking Union Medical College Hospital?
This is a prestigious name!
Looking across the whole of Beijing, it’s absolutely top-notch!
"All... right, you do it."
The man finally agreed, pressing down firmly on the two most critical wounds to stop the bleeding.
Qin Feng nodded, opened the first-aid kit, took out a scalpel, the very one he was rewarded with earlier, along with a sterile trachea and alcohol swab.
Subsequently, Qin Feng disinfected below the throat of the injured, put on medical gloves, precisely cut open with the scalpel, inserted the trachea to open the airway, and stopped the bleeding....
The next second, the driver’s chest suddenly showed a clear rise and fall.
Success!
It was just about a minute before and after, speed and precision.
Seeing this scene, the man was shocked with his mouth wide open, this was too fast!
Wow~
The surrounding bystanders, seeing Qin Feng operate like this, were also shocked to the bone.
Directly cutting open the neck, had they ever seen this?
Adding the blood all over the ground made it even more chilling.
Moreover, someone with good intentions had already taken out a phone to record a video, completely ignoring the traffic police’s urging and blocking.
Several traffic officers in uniforms finally squeezed through, quickly drove the crowd back, and pulled up a safety line to block the roadway.
"All bystanders, please leave immediately, please leave immediately!"
"Do not watch, do not block the road, leave quickly, don’t block the ambulance!"
...
But apparently, this seemed not to be very effective, and the whole intersection was gathering more cars by the minute.
At this rate, it would soon be completely paralyzed, let alone an ambulance, even a bicycle couldn’t get through.
"Officer, how much longer to clear this up?"
Qin Feng stepped forward and asked.
"In this situation, it will take at least more than half an hour at the quickest!"
The traffic officer wiped the sweat from his face and said in a rush,
"Doctor, we’ll get it done as quickly as possible, you hang in there!"
They were opening up two-way single lanes, guiding vehicles to leave, issuing tickets with photos to those who wouldn’t move, which finally made those reluctant motorists drive away.
Qin Feng calculated the time. As long as they could get in the ambulance, the patient’s life could at least be saved, holding on until surgery at the hospital.
Whoop whoop whoop~
After ten minutes, they finally heard the faint sound of an ambulance.
Only then did the two slightly relax their tightly held breaths. The patient had already fallen into a coma, but physiological signs were still present.
Meanwhile, the woman tied up by Qin Feng had long lost the strength to continue struggling, breathing heavily.
Another 5 minutes passed,
The ambulance appeared in sight through the crowd, slowly driving up to them.
The door opened, and a doctor with two nurses and emergency personnel rushed out pushing a stretcher.
"Dr. Qin?"
???
As they were lifting the injured, the doctor on the ambulance recognized him at a glance.
"Who are you?"
Qin Feng, hands covered in blood, looked at him puzzled.
"Emergency from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, let’s get in the car!"
The doctor chuckled and quickly pushed the patient onto the ambulance.
So, it was a fellow doctor from the same hospital, no wonder!
"Yan’Er, take the car back home first!"
Qin Feng turned his head and shouted this to Liu Yan’Er in the car.
Liu Yan’Er nodded, looking at him nervously.
"Driver, hurry!"
On the car, Qin Feng immediately began basic resuscitation, hooking up devices, intubating.
Blood oxygen 70, blood pressure 90/70, ventricular fibrillation!
"Defibrillator!"
"Ready."
"Clear."
Bam!
"Second defibrillation."
Bam!
As soon as devices were connected, many problems instantly surfaced, direct defibrillation applied.
Beep~ Beep~ Beep~
Heartbeat restored, but blood oxygen and blood pressure were still dropping.
"Fluid infusion, 1 mg adrenaline push."
"The patient is losing blood severely, quickly contact emergency, notify blood bank to prepare 3000CC blood, open the operating room for surgery."
"Okay, I’ll contact them immediately!"
Upon hearing Qin Feng’s words, the young doctor quickly contacted emergency.
The man from the outside hospital who came up with Qin Feng looked dumbfounded.
Witnessing Qin Feng’s actions, he felt like he was invisible.
"Oh, you’re here too? Thank you earlier."
Qin Feng turned around and finally noticed him, smiling and nodding.
"No, don’t mention it."
"Which hospital are you from?"
"I’m from Beijing 302 Military Hospital."
"302? Do you have a Dean with the last name Fu?"
Upon hearing this familiar name, Qin Feng’s eyes lit up.
"You know our Dean Fu?"
The man expressed surprise alike.
"Yes, haha~"
Qin Feng nodded; back then Old Fu almost convinced him to join, if not for Peking Union Medical College Hospital, he might have gone to 302.
After all, their hospital is excellent too!
minutes later, the ambulance rushed into the green passage, parking at the emergency entrance.
"Is anesthesia ready?"
Getting off, the patient was pushed into the rescue room, Qin Feng immediately asked.
"The operating room is all set, Qin Feng, go in."
Upon hearing the voice, looking up, it was Director Tan from emergency.
"Director Tan, you’re here too."
"Had I known it was you, I wouldn’t have waited here, haha~"
Director Tan joked, then his expression turned serious,
"You know the injury situation well, how about you go on the stage?"
"Alright!"
Qin Feng didn’t decline, nodding and walking towards the operating room.
"Su Wen, follow along."
Seeing this scene, Director Tan glanced at the young doctor beside him, urging quietly.
"Oh, alright, Director."
Upon hearing this, his expression turned delighted, quickly following along.
Qin Feng is currently the most famous critical care attending physician in the hospital, also treating the nation’s first special patient, and his surgical skills are astonishing!
Director Tan letting him follow is not just an encouragement?
Hahaha!
This is a tremendously great opportunity!
Qin Feng entered the operating room, started cleansing and disinfecting, neatly dressed, opened the door to the operation theater.
