Chapter 438: Chapter 438: This is a tough battle!
Sun Xiangchen’s heart was racing with urgency, and he didn’t have time to pack much—he just grabbed his bank card, ID, cell phone, and medical insurance card and hurried out the door!
It was supposed to be a beautiful Saturday morning, but this sudden bad news was hard for him to accept!
How could a perfectly healthy person just get into a car accident?
As Sun Xiangchen came downstairs ready to drive, he realized—he wasn’t in any state to operate a car, was he?
He quickly ran outside the residential area and frantically hailed a taxi to rush to the emergency room at the Second Provincial Hospital!
The little boy stood at the nurse’s station, not going anywhere, just staring blankly. He was neither crying nor making a fuss, instead, like he had seen in TV dramas, he put his palms together in front of his chest.
The images from the car accident scene kept flashing through his mind, lingering on and on.
For a child of merely seven years old, this frightening scene was undoubtedly the greatest pain in his life.
If his mother were alright, everything would be fine…
But what if she’s not? That might become the most terrifying nightmare of the boy’s life, with no exaggeration!
As Sun Xiangchen ran into the emergency room, he saw the boy standing there with his palms together in front of his chest, silently mouthing prayers for “Amitabha” and “May the Bodhisattva bless her” that he saw in “Journey to the West.”
In his view, this was the greatest thing he could do—bless and pray.
Sun Xiangchen was startled to see his son covered in blood on his body, hands, and pale face!
He dashed over and scooped the child into his arms!
“Bobo, are you alright?”
Seeing his father, the little boy suddenly burst into tears, his eyes streaming uncontrollably.
“Dad! You’re finally here… Go save Mom! She’s dying…”
Sun Xiangchen’s nose tingled, and he couldn’t hold back his tears either.
“Don’t be afraid, Bobo. Mom is being rescued by the doctors; don’t worry, she’s just asleep, and she’ll be fine soon!” Sun Xiangchen hugged his child tightly, consoling him with all his might.
The little boy cried and said, “I prayed to Guanyin and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven… Why haven’t they appeared yet… Mom is a good person, she’s a teacher, why don’t they come save her…”
The cries of the little boy made even the patients in the emergency room tremble with emotion.
Sun Xiangchen patted his son firmly, “Child, these doctors, are all like Guanyin and the Great Sage transformed into doctors, you be good, and Dad will go help the doctors save Mom!”
He wiped away the tears from his son’s face but couldn’t rub off the dried blood.
At that moment, seeing the situation, Xiao Lin said, “Let’s leave the child at the nurse’s station for now, you go and handle the procedures. The patient has been taken for a check-up and is being prepared for emergency treatment, don’t wander off.”
After speaking, Xiao Lin had an intern nurse take the boy to the adjacent treatment room to clean up.
Sun Xiangchen wiped his eyes and sniffled, “Thank you!”
…
…
This car accident rescue was extremely urgent; Li Baoshan and Tao Zi had already arrived at the hospital.
Li Jianwei had already organized the orthopedic rescue team to examine and save the injured man!
After the examination, the man’s situation turned out to be a fortunate mishap. He had only a fracture in his lower limb, and although the impact caused a severe fracture… there was currently no risk of life-threatening injuries, and the goal now was to ensure that his leg could be preserved!
At this moment, the woman was still in a critical period.
The laboratory had just released the blood test results, and the patient was immediately given a blood transfusion!
It’s important to know that the spleen is an organ with extremely rich blood circulation in the human body and is also the largest lymphoid organ directly connected to the blood circulation!
It’s structurally similar to sponge-like tissue, normally storing blood, and when the body urgently needs it, the spleen contracts and releases blood, thereby adjusting the volume of circulating blood.
Therefore, a ruptured spleen can cause fatal hemorrhaging!
It’s very easy to experience hemorrhagic shock due to massive blood loss within a short period!
Chen Cang was extremely concerned in his heart.
The rate of blood transfusion couldn’t keep up with the rate of bleeding, which was lifethreatening.
This trauma location… it involved the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava!
“`
If these two things really had issues, lives would be lost.
At this moment, Chen Cang could only pray.
It wasn’t that Chen Cang was reluctant to start the surgery to stop the bleeding immediately, but considering the numerous injuries from the car accident, comprehensive pre-surgical preparations had to be made.
For open abdominal injuries, imaging studies are generally not conducted, but the patient’s condition was truly exceptional at this time, and since the vital signs were still relatively stable for the moment.
To ensure the smooth progress of the surgery, they still did it!
After the results came out.
Chen Cang and the radiologists all frowned deeply!
It was too serious.
This surgery would require several people to perform at the same time.
The diaphragm in the chest cavity was torn, and through the imaging, one could clearly see blood within the chest cavity. Most importantly, possibly due to the impact, the patient’s intestines had entered the chest cavity!
Diaphragmatic hernia within the chest cavity!
Next was the damage to the diaphragm, which needed to be sutured and repaired.
The spleen was ruptured, without a doubt!
Other… The reason for the massive bleeding inside the abdomen due to traumatic injuries required a laparotomy for a detailed examination; the whole operation was extremely critical.
It had to be carried out immediately!
Chen Cang hurriedly led the nurses toward the operating room.
At this time, Li Baoshan, Tao Zi, and others had already put on their surgical gowns and were ready to step in.
After the patient was moved into the operating room, Li Baoshan and the others were there.
Chen Cang felt reassured!
On his own, Chen Cang was not confident now!
The volume and difficulty of this surgery might be the greatest and most challenging Chen Cang had ever witnessed.
If it were just up to him alone, it simply wouldn’t be possible to complete it.
Diaphragm injury, herniation of the intestinal tract, spleen rupture, intestinal damage, intra-abdominal infection, major vascular injury?…
Wait, this was a major rescue operation!
Li Baoshan, with his extensive experience, saw the worried look in Chen Cang’s eyes and signaled him to relax a bit.
This would be a battle of endurance!
Li Baoshan said to Chen Cang,
“Open up a vein, intraoperative transfusion is definitely unavoidable.”
Chen Cang nodded.
Under Li Baoshan’s orderly organization, Chen Cang, Tao Zi, and the team began this life-saving surgery.
The abdominal wall was opened layer by layer.
Before the exploratory laparotomy, thorough debridement had to be done without damaging the organs. With such an open injury already causing some destruction, the only good news was that no foreign object had entered; otherwise, the difficulty would have been even greater.
The debridement continued, and it was uncertain how many bags of saline were used.
Gauze had already piled up into a mountain at one side.
Finally, a relatively clean peritoneal cavity was presented before everyone!
At this moment, Chen Cang’s eyes were filled with red tags!
[Spleen Rupture], [Damaged Blood Vessels], [Injured Intestines]…
When a group of red tags appeared before everyone, Chen Cang couldn’t help but sigh. This… was going to be a tough fight!
It wasn’t just Chen Cang who felt this way, Tao Zi and Li Baoshan also had their brows tightly furrowed!
