Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 187 - 126: Blood Bank in Crisis, Surgery Faces Despair!

Chapter 187: Chapter 126: Blood Bank in Crisis, Surgery Faces Despair!

The real battle is just about to begin!

Especially for those patients whose internal organs are severely damaged, and who have suffered extensive burns.

Such conditions are already very dangerous and could threaten life at any time.

Particularly for burn victims, their critical period is even longer, as their skin and muscles are necrotized by burns, causing bodily fluids to continually evaporate and be lost from the wound.

For as long as 48 hours or even more, they experience hypovolemic shock, and it persists!

Meaning they need continuous fluid management to ensure the balance of bodily functions.

So what’s coming next is the most crucial stage!

Meanwhile,

In the ICU of City Hospital No. 1, Director Qi has already transferred out all patients who are fit and with decent physiological indicators.

Ensuring there are enough vacant beds, getting them ready, and waiting in full alert!

They know that once the surgery is over, the ICU will face its greatest challenge!

Which will mean several days and nights without rest or sleep.

Life is paramount!

...

Beep beep~ Beep beep~

The ambulance Qin Feng is on speed crazily towards the hospital at 120 km/h.

The city’s traffic police have taken posts commanding the roads from the food street to various hospitals, and any passing ambulance means all other vehicles must stop, giving way entirely.

Disobedience leads to immediate interception and fines!

Of course, there are still those reckless individuals, as up to now, within an hour or so.

They have caught 3 people at different intersections, two of whom attempted to resist, and now should be at the police station signing their names, fingerprinting, and notifying their families. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

These people definitely won’t be leaving, at least starting with 7 days of confinement.

So when everyone sees special vehicles on duty, they must be obedient and think.

Otherwise, the consequence is to find oneself seated and regretting deeply.....

Upon returning to City Hospital No. 1,

The ambulance still shuttles back and forth, the entire hospital is filled with noise, and one can see doctors and nurses from various departments rushing around everywhere.

The emergency room is even busier, with all the operating room lights on.

The patients belonging to various departments have also been transferred away, every medical staff that can be contacted is now on duty.

The late-night hospital is tense, busy, heavy, and urgent.

Qin Feng just walked into the emergency hall to see Dean Zhang Tong busily directing, allocating personnel from various departments, arranging medications and equipment, etc.

Qin Feng and Zhang Fan rushed in with the injured patient, finding a vacant operating room to enter directly.

This is the young man with severe burns and cavity bleeding shock just now.

"Qin Feng, you’re back, hurry with the surgery."

Dean Zhang Tong exclaimed with joy upon seeing Qin Feng.

Qin Feng just nodded, hurriedly handing the patient to the nurse, and rushed to disinfect, discarding his already filthy white coat directly.

Scrubbing hands, washing, entering the operating room, putting on a mask and gloves, donning sterile gown.

"Director Qin, there are no free doctors now."

The equipment nurse next to her said.

"Alright, I’ll do it myself."

Qin Feng nodded upon hearing it, saying nothing more.

At this moment, asking for a chief or resident doctor to assist would undoubtedly waste a doctor’s capacity.

Besides, for him, the presence of an assistant or not makes little difference.

"Are the anesthesia equipment working well?"

"It’s good, but the anesthetist needs to wait a few minutes, still in the operating room next door."

"Don’t bother, I’ll do it myself."

Qin Feng shook his head, proceeding directly with gas anesthesia.

The circulating nurse and equipment nurse beside him were stunned.

Director Qin knows anesthesiology as well?

My goodness!

Note that anesthesiology is not merely about rendering the patient unconscious!

An anesthesiologist’s responsibilities are no less than those of the primary surgeon, even more stressful!

Because the anesthesiologist is crucial in maintaining the patient’s physiological signs during surgery!

Soon, the patient was anesthetized.

"Scalpel."

Qin Feng adjusted the machine, reached out his hand, and said.

He cut open the skin, muscle, fat layer, etc., and opened the abdomen.

The view was exposed, and considerable accumulated blood was already present in the patient’s abdominal cavity, starting to turn dark red.

It seems it’s been quite a while!

Fortunately, the young man’s thoracic cavity important organs were not damaged, especially the lungs and heart.

Just a few ribs fractured, no bleeding.

"Electrocautery knife."

Soon, Qin Feng suctioned out the accumulated blood, found the bleeding sites, the spleen, liver, and diaphragm were shattered by massive impact and shockwaves.

Additionally, there was displacement and occupying circumstances, making it imperative to immediately stop the bleeding.

At the very start, the young man’s blood loss had already reached 1000 ml.

"5-0 suture thread, quick!"

He promptly began suturing.

minutes later, all lacerations on the spleen were sutured.

minutes later, liver vessel anastomosis, wound suturing completed, diaphragm repair began.

....

"Director Qin, blood is running low, only 400 milliliters left."

At this moment, the circulating nurse suddenly spoke up.

The nurse had just checked the equipment and supplies, discovering there was only one blood bag left, 400 milliliters.

"Go to the blood bank and get another 400 milliliters."

Qin Feng didn’t lift his head upon hearing it, continuing to suture while speaking.

A few minutes later, the last bag was already hooked up, the nurse returned with some difficulty.

"Director Qin, the blood bank said that there is only less than 10% of all reserve blood left, they’re already trying to mobilize more, asking us to save as much as possible, and hold on....."

Qin Feng heard and fell silent.

Tonight, City Hospital No. 1 undertook care for 80% of critical patients, the blood consumption is surely enormous.

10% of reserve blood, dozens of critical patients, vastly insufficient.....

But without blood, many patients will die on the operating table, unable to make it!

"Okay, I understand."

After a long silence, Qin Feng responded, increasing his hand speed once again.

At this moment, he could only rely on his precise suturing speed to reclaim the lost blood volume.

minutes later,

Clang~

Qin Feng tossed the forceps into the tray, the surgery was over.

He looked up at the blood bag, less than 100 ml remained.

Phew~

Finally reclaimed it!

"Send the patient to ICU, observe burn for 48 hours."

After saying this, he cleansed and left the operating room.

Just stepping out, he saw Zhao Yitian sprinting, anxious.

"Qin Feng, do you have any blood bags left?"

"None left, only less than 100 ml remaining, what’s wrong?"

"Director Sun has a case of massive pulmonary bleeding, the blood isn’t sufficient!"

Zhao Yitian’s face was flushed with urgency!

"How much blood is left?"

Qin Feng quickly asked.

"Only 800 left, the bleeding volume can’t keep up."

Hearing Zhao Yitian’s answer, Qin Feng pondered for a moment.

Two bags of blood should be enough.

"Alright, you go find blood first, I’ll go handle it, urge the blood bank to hurry with the blood."

"Alright, I understand."

Zhao Yitian nodded, telling him the operating room number and sprinted away.

Meanwhile,

Almost all operating rooms were facing the same situation.

"Director Cao, we have only 400 ml of blood left."

"Quick, call to urge the blood!"

"Dr. Wang, there’s only 200 ml left."

"The blood bank has the last 1200 ml for contingency, it’ll soon be gone."

"The blood bank informed that there’s only one bag of type A blood left."

"Blood from external hospitals will take another half an hour to arrive at the earliest, what can be done?"

"What’s happening! Where’s the blood! Where’s the blood!"

"Go to the blood bank and bring all type B blood, the patient has massive hemorrhage! Saving the patient is urgent! Hurry!"

...

The blood bank is in crisis, nearly ten high-risk surgeries at City Hospital No. 1 facing despair!

Everyone’s heart is being fried in an oil pan, filled with pain, anxiety, and helplessness, even nurses are in tears from the urgency.

Could it be,

Everyone’s efforts are in vain?

These are lives, one by one!
