Xie Wan was giving first aid, Qin Muye and others were driven out, leaving only the medical worker Xiao Huang.
The conditions were poor and the other patients were still in the tent, all craning their necks to see their comrades.
"You guys, don't move around and have a good rest. The plateau environment is complicated and the body needs time to adapt.
If you have difficulty breathing, coughing up pink foamy sputum, or other symptoms, be sure to report it immediately." Xie Wan was busy while reminding other soldiers.
The condition of the soldier with rapid breathing was still not optimistic. His breathing became more and more rapid, his lips turned purple, and his consciousness began to blur.
"Thank you, military doctor. Let's ask Captain Qin to send the person to Linzhi."
Xiao Huang is a woman in her twenties. Like Xie Wan before her, she was recruited into the army. After receiving some basic training as a medical soldier, she was assigned to a grassroots unit in southern Tibet.
She had heard before that an intern doctor was coming, and just now she heard from other soldiers that it was Captain Qin's lover, who was looking at Xie Wan with a scrutinizing gaze.
Xie Wan shook his head, "It's too late, this is acute high-altitude pulmonary edema, the condition will change very quickly.
It takes three hours to drive from here to Linzhi, and the road is bumpy, and he can’t stand it.”
Xiao Huang also became anxious when she heard this. Their medical soldiers could only deal with some basic illnesses. Those that were slightly more serious were sent to the military hospital in Linzhi for treatment.
Xie Wan asked: "Is there a heart rate monitor?"
Xiao Huang nodded fiercely, "Yes, yes."
"Do you know how to use it? Put on the ECG monitor immediately."
Xie Wanzheng placed one hand on the soldier's pulse and used the other hand to quickly adjust the oxygen flow, raising it to 6-8 L/min to ensure that the soldier could get enough oxygen.
He noticed that Xiao Huang was standing there stupidly and did not move, so he gave orders rudely.
Xiao Huang finally came back to his senses and anxiously pushed out the ECG monitor from a corner of the tent.
The roar of a diesel generator was heard outside, and the monitor was turned on. Xie Wan had already used a silver needle to acupuncture the soldier's lung meridian.
Xiao Huang was dumbfounded and asked, "Doctor Xie, are you a Chinese medicine doctor?"
Xie Wan didn't have time to chat with her, so he just said "hmm".
Whenever she starts to play the role of a doctor, her whole temperament becomes extremely serious, and Xiao Huang can't help but be led by her.
Xie Wan observed that the patient's breathing had become slightly calmer, but his heart rate was still too low.
"Does the clinic have nifedipine or aminophylline? I also need phentolamine."
"No, I don't have the right to prescribe these drugs, and the army didn't give them to me."
Xie Wan was very angry, "This is a common medicine for emergency treatment in high altitude areas. You don't have the right to prescribe it, but the clinic should at least have one or two for life-saving, right?
In case of emergency, an experienced doctor can remotely control you to give the patient an injection and perform first aid."
Xiao Huang felt so aggrieved that he was about to cry.
Xie Wan immediately realized that she was wrong. She was used to staying in the affiliated hospital in Yucheng and her mindset had not yet changed.
This is a grassroots unit with difficult conditions, and lack of medical care and medicine is the norm.
Although drugs such as aminophylline have a good effect on the emergency treatment of high-altitude pulmonary edema, improper use can easily cause side effects such as ventricular tachycardia, epilepsy, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
It is impossible for the medical staff to prescribe such emergency medicines to them because they do not have the corresponding medical level.
Xie Wan opened the compartment of the medicine box and took out a blue and white porcelain vase.
She poured out three vermilion pills and stuffed them under the soldier's tongue. She then took out the acupuncture bag, dipped the silver needle in some musk wine and began to prick the Tanzhong point through the Jiuwei point, using the volcano burning acupuncture method to replenish the soldier's vitality.
Fortunately, she knew she might have to go to Tibet, so she followed an ancient Tibetan medicine recipe in her space and prepared some "Seventy Flavors Pearl Pills" to carry with her.
With the help of Xie Wan's acupuncture, the medicinal power traveled along the triple burner meridian. The patient's heart rate began to slowly return to normal and the purple lip color faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xie Wan took a breath, got up and left the tent, and said to Qin Muye: "Send someone to the hospital in Linzhi to apply for some emergency medicine, and I will write a list for you.
Tomorrow, when the patient's condition stabilizes and he is transferred to Linzhi, I will go with him to apply for medical equipment."
Qin Muye immediately arranged for people to set off.
Xie Wan watched over the soldier with high-altitude pulmonary edema for the entire afternoon. Fortunately, nothing happened. By the time the emergency medicine she requested returned, it was already early morning.
According to the patient's condition, Xie Wan only gave him sublingual nifedipine. Seeing that the patient's condition was relatively stable, he handed him over to Xiao Huang for care.
"Measure his blood pressure and heart rate every hour. If anything is abnormal, send someone to the family area to call me."
In just one afternoon, Xiao Huang looked at Xie Wan with awe.
"Xie, military doctor. You should go back and have some rest. I heard that you just came today, so your house should not be cleaned up yet? I can just watch over here."
Xiao Huang is actually three years older than Xie Wan, but the way they get along right now is as if Xie Wan is the older sister.
Xie Wan still felt a little sorry for his attitude before today. He took out a few White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Huang, saying, "It's cold at night. Eat some candies to warm you up."
Xiao Huang's eyes sparkled, and he thought: Doctor Xie is not only capable, but also a nice person...
When I got home, Qin Muye hadn't come back yet.
Xie Wanjin went into the space and made himself a bowl of noodles.
She didn't plan to sleep outside tonight. She would wait for Qin Muye to come back and let him sleep in the space.
Qin Muye didn't return home until the early morning.
When he saw a mouse lying on the kang and no sign of his wife, he knew that she had entered the space.
