Chapter 639 276: Who Did King Yama Spare? The Sympathetic Storm in the Emergency Department—Is This Scientific?!
"To put it simply, a normal human heart has two basic functions: electrical and mechanical. The influence of the electrical function on the mechanical function is called electromechanical coupling, and the impact of the mechanical function on the electrical function is known as mechanical feedback. The heart is an organ that is very sensitive to mechanical forces."
"For example, a long time ago, anesthesiologists discovered that severe bradycardia could be effectively treated using a strike on the chest, and cardiac surgeons could flick the heart during surgery to restore its electrical activity from a state of asystole. These are examples of the mechanical force feedback on the heart's electrical activity."
Lou Jiangya continued.
"It's a bit complex..."
The nurse scratched her head.
"In the current example, only about 4% of the current from external defibrillation ultimately passes through the heart, as most of the electrical energy is lost during conduction in human tissue. In contrast, the mechanical force of the Punching Skill is rapidly delivered from the chest area directly to the heart tissue, converting locally into the current needed to terminate ventricular arrhythmia."
Lou Jiangya had initially mastered the theory of the Heart Area Striking Skill quite well.
He had also seen quite a few related tutorials from abroad.
This technique is also a mandatory rescue skill for American police officers.
Because their tasers often cause cardiac arrest, they frequently use the Heart Area Striking Skill for emergency rescue since defibrillators often cannot be used in time, and thus, this methodology was developed.
Yet, even so, quite a few people still die from tasers every year.
"Oh... I think I understand now. You're saying that external electrical defibrillation is like hitting the heart through a wall, while the Heart Area Striking Skill is a slap directly on the heart! So that slap feels more painful!"
The nurse was mystified.
"Almost, almost."
Lou Jiangya nodded.
With both being slaps, the former is akin to hitting someone with clothes on, whereas the latter is a direct hit on bare flesh, which obviously causes more pain.
"Not good! Another ventricular fibrillation!!"
However, the sinus rhythm had not lasted long before deadly ventricular fibrillation appeared again.
This time, it was even more dangerous than before.
Faced with continuous ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, the Heart Area Striking Skill and electrical defibrillation were used in combination, along with the rapid administration of antiarrhythmic drugs and the correction of acid-base and electrolyte imbalances...
"Beep beep beep—"
The patient was finally transported out of hotel room 1818.
Zhang Lingchuan performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation all the way to the Fudan Huashan Hospital Emergency Department.
The hospital had already learned the background of the case through the transmitted video, and multidisciplinary coordination was immediately enacted.
The cardiology chief, who had just arrived home in his car after leaving the hospital, quickly left his two children to rush to the emergency room upon receiving notification, while the resident expert from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, who was about to fly out of Shanghai, immediately turned back to assist in the rescue...
The catheterization lab nursing team also returned upon hearing the news, swiftly preparing for interventional treatment.
Emergency Department of the hospital.
A young person, utterly exhausted and panting heavily, persistently performed the Heart Area Striking Skill and cardiopulmonary resuscitation with remarkable skill, mounted on the stretcher bed.
In the ambulance, the elevator, and the intervention room.
This young man's face was crimson, arm veins bulged, his entire body exhausted and panting, even his eyes were bloodshot.
"What the hell? An hour and a half of cardiopulmonary resuscitation? Without a stop!!!"
All the surgeons in the operating room were utterly dumbfounded.
An hour and a half of continuous cardiopulmonary resuscitation, without interruption, what kind of concept is this!!
"To be precise, it's an hour and forty minutes."
This statement felt like a lightning strike once again.
It made the doctors' heads hum in shock.
Meanwhile, Zhang Lingchuan's vision blurred completely.
[56... 57... 59...]
He was madly cycling through these numbers.
At this moment, his world seemed to consist only of a countdown.
"Beep beep beep!!!"
At the same time.
The heart monitor emitted a piercing sound.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully rescuing Xiang Xiaobai from clinical death to a near-death state after one hour and forty-five minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and Heart Area Striking Skill. Currently detected in the intervention room, please leave the treatment to the professional team of doctors. An emergency gift pack is being distributed...]
In the end.
Zhang Lingchuan felt the voice in his head growing faint.
The whole world spun around him.
But a smile hung at the corner of his mouth.
Because his hard work was not in vain; he finally turned the flashing red-gray label into a solid red one.
"Quick! Quick, quick, quick!!"
"Teacher Zhang——"
"Save them! Save them!!!"
The expert team found that the girl in cardiac arrest had just weathered the storm and was showing slight improvement.
The youth on the stretcher suddenly collapsed.
He seemed to shut down all at once.
Luckily, the medical staff present were ample, and they quickly moved to support him.
"What's wrong with Xiaochuan!"
"What's happening to Xiaozhang, didn't he just save someone!?"
Outside the intervention room.
Yu Zecheng and his secretary, Tian Qiguang, Ou Lingling, and Song Wanqing all gathered at the hospital.
Everyone was anxiously awaiting the outcome for Veterinary Newbie, uncertain if they could be saved!
The next moment, they saw a silhouetted figure pushed out.
This figure was none other than Zhang Lingchuan.
Instantly, everyone began asking.
"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, Doctor, what's wrong with him! You must save him——"
Song Wanqing never expected such a situation; she had planned to have exhausted Teacher Zhang take a rest with her help, maybe even offer to massage his shoulders in the evening, but seeing him emerge this way stunned her, and she rushed forward, frantically asking questions!!
"Miss, calm down."
Seeing Song Wanqing so agitated, Vice Director Zhao Kaoming quickly spoke up.
"How can I calm down! Would you stay calm if it were your wife lying there?"
Yu Zecheng stomped with his cane, speaking in a low, angry tone.
"Elder Yu, you're here too."
Vice Director Zhao Kaoming was incredulous upon seeing Yu Zecheng and Tian Qiguang.
"Vice Director Zhao, I ask you to exhaust every possibility to find out the cause of this child's coma and save them for me. If something happens to this child, you must take responsibility!"
Yu Zecheng's dim old eyes gleamed fiercely!
Today, he was truly moved by the younger generation's indomitable spirit.
They had forcefully pulled a dying individual back.
Such a person must not meet with any misfortune.
"This... Elder Yu, rest assured, we will arrange it immediately."
Zhao Kaoming felt an inexplicable chill when he heard the address "Vice Director Zhao," because Elder Yu had always called him Xiaozhao. Immediately, he led a team of experts to examine Zhang Lingchuan.
"You young one, I am still waiting for you to diagnose my illness."
Yu Zecheng looked at Zhang Lingchuan lying on the stretcher with inexplicable heartache.
Of course, comfort was also given to Song Wanqing, who was worried and tearful, unwilling to leave Zhang Lingchuan's side.
Time quickly reached the early hours.
Song Wanqing stayed with Zhang Lingchuan, her eyes red from tears.
Finally, at one in the morning, the test results came back.
Song Wanqing, Yu Zecheng, Tian Qiguang, and Ou Lingling gathered together in the office.
She sighed in relief as Vice Director Zhao Kaoming relayed the test results.
It turned out that Teacher Zhang's coma was due to exhaustion, and apart from severe overexertion, there were no major issues.
Meanwhile, the story of Veterinary Newbie and Zhang Lingchuan rapidly spread across the internet.
People from all over, including Shen Changming, Huang Xiangning, and Shen Xuanqing from Chun City, as well as Ru Jiming and Fang Yanqing from the Capital City, received the news.
