Chapter 356 - 171: Racial Flaws, The Capable Takes on More Work_2

It seemed determined to give Zhou Can a hard time.

"Uh... In the process of treating patients, first ensure the operation of both internal and external circulation systems. Among them, respiration and heartbeat are most important. After ensuring these two, then deal with body temperature, blood pressure, low blood oxygen, etc. When the nervous system fails causing sudden cessation of breathing and heartbeat, decisively establish extracorporeal circulation."

Zhou Can made a summarizing statement.

Mostly, only brain death would cause nervous system failure, resulting in sudden cessation of breathing and heartbeat.

At that time, saving the patient's life actually doesn't hold much significance.

However, there are many cases where vegetative patients have been successfully awakened.

The hope is that a miracle of life will appear.

"Good, you spoke much better this time. It seems like following and being busy all day wasn't a waste."

Director Liu nodded with satisfaction.

In terms of learning ability, comprehension, and work attitude, Zhou Can made him very satisfied.

As a chief physician, he spent a lot of time personally guiding Zhou Can. If Zhou Can were to study sloppily, or pretend to be serious while actually not absorbing the knowledge,

then Director Liu would terminate his guidance.

"Remember, as doctors in the Intensive Care Medicine Department, our approach to treatment should fundamentally differ from specialists. Specialists first think of curing the disease, whereas we in intensive care think of saving lives first. Go back and think about it, then summarize what you've learned today, and you're still on the night shift tomorrow."

After saying this, Director Liu hurriedly left.

Zhou Can was also ready to leave when Dr. Shi stopped him.

"Dr. Zhou, for patient in bed 7, I plan to write a paper and will include your name in it. If you're willing, you can re

Monitoring the central venous pressure belongs to an invasive monitoring method.

It requires inserting a central venous catheter into either the internal jugular vein or the subclavian vein and placing it at the junction of the right atrium and the superior and inferior vena cava for testing. The process of inserting the catheter is not easy.

Especially for patients with thin veins and less visible veins, the operation is extremely challenging.

The resident doctor attempting to establish central venous pressure monitoring was already sweating profusely.

"Let me give it a try!"

Dr. Shi voluntarily took over.

However, he soon furrowed his brow, his expression becoming highly focused.

An annoying alarm sounded continuously from the adjacent device.

The patient's blood oxygen saturation was frighteningly low.

No wonder the resident doctor was in a rush to establish central venous pressure monitoring for the patient.

"Damn it, this patient's veins are both thin and slippery."

After Dr. Shi failed twice, he might have felt somewhat embarrassed, muttering curses to himself.

Zhou Can originally came along to learn, standing by and watching.

Doctors generally don't place much importance on practicing injection skills. It's just giving an injection, who can't?

Especially since many medications are directly intramuscular, it's even more casual.

"I've practiced injection skills, may I give it a try?"

Zhou Can was getting anxious seeing this.

For him, this operation was a trivial matter, but for that resident doctor, including Dr. Shi, it was exceedingly difficult.

The small size of the patient's veins was indeed a reason.

Ultimately, it was still the doctors' lack of skill.

"Be careful not to damage the artery or nerves."

Dr. Shi was somewhat apprehensive, but out of trust, he let Zhou Can try.
