Chapter 291 A small fish hurts people
"The day before yesterday, I was eating fish and a fish bone got stuck in my throat. I had to eat a big mouthful of rice to dislodge the bone."
When the woman said this, everyone fell silent.
It turns out they were all going in the wrong direction.
"I think the fish bone might have gotten stuck in the esophagus and didn't fall out, but was pushed further in by the food. As I continued to eat, the pain accelerated, making it even more painful. Severe pain can lead to shock. But to confirm the diagnosis, I'll first do a high-precision CT scan."
Although Wei Ping had seen the fishbone, he did not directly say where the bone was.
Instead, it was said through the woman's mouth, because a fish bone was stuck in her mouth.
So, getting a CT scan is a natural thing to do.
"Okay, do it now, do it immediately!" Duan Fei said after listening.
He felt that what Wei Ping said made sense.
So, they began to deal with it anxiously.
Zhang Yang also joined in.
The woman then asked, "If it's just a fish bone, does that mean it's nothing serious?"
She hoped for a positive response.
However, at present, it is not completely certain.
And the doctor won't tell you too confidently. After all, who knows if the patient has other underlying diseases.
For safety and rigor.
Wei Ping said, "For now, if the chest pain is caused by a fish bone, it will be fine after the bone is removed. However, if there are other complications, he will still need to be hospitalized for observation. But please rest assured, we will do our best to treat your husband!"
"Thank you, doctor!"
The woman glanced at Wei Ping's name tag.
"Are you Dr. Wei? Dr. Sanquan?" the woman asked in shock.
"yes!"
"I'm not afraid when you're here. I believe in you!"
The patient was taken to undergo CT scan.
After a while, the report came out.
Everyone looked at the report with both joy and worry.
Duan Fei held up the film and said, "I see a high-density shadow under the esophageal mucosa, about 1 cm long. The nature is unknown. It may be a fish bone."
Then it is determined.
But things are far from over.
"Give him plenty of fluids immediately and some blood pressure-raising medicine!" Duan said again.
"Go to the ENT department and have the fish bones removed," Guo Yongping suggested.
"No, we can't remove the fish bone rashly right now because it might bleed. Also, the ENT forceps aren't long enough for that location!"
Wei Ping said this.
If the bone pierces a blood vessel, it may cause heavy bleeding when it is pulled out. Although the possibility is not high, it is still possible.
What we can do now is to stabilize the condition.
"Then let's go to the endoscopy room!" Duan Fei said.
Wei Ping then said, "Director Duan, I think the patient's condition is not good now. Let him go to the ICU first. When he is more stable, we can go to the gastroscopy room and remove the fish bones!"
"Let's do everything according to Wei Ping's wishes." Director Duan said again.
"By the way, contact an anesthesia department and wait until the patient's condition stabilizes to perform a gastroscopy under general anesthesia." Duan Fei added.
As long as the anesthesiology department is there, the operation will be easier if hypotension or heavy bleeding really occurs.
"Zhang Yang, you have to be there too!"
Duan Fei added that the surgeon was also there and could make sure everything was alright.
"Okay, Director!"
So everyone started to move.
The patient will first be admitted to the ICU for observation. If everything goes well, he can be given general anesthesia.
The woman followed and held Wei Ping's hand.
"Thank you, Dr. Wei!"
"Sister, don't be like this. This is what we should do. Don't worry, our director is here, everything will be fine." Wei Ping said.
Yes, with Duan Fei here and the condition clear, there’s basically nothing to worry about.
"Okay, I believe it!"
"Okay, let them handle this. I'm leaving now!"
As for Wei Ping, he went back first.
"One word a patient says before he dies is worth a thousand, or even ten thousand words after he dies."
"That's true, but some people never think that a small fish bone can cause such consequences. In the future, we should do some scientific research to educate people on what to do when a fish bone gets stuck in the throat."
"Yes, this is very important. Some people think that swallowing a fish bone will be fine. Little do they know that if a fish bone pierces the esophagus or even the trachea, the impact will be severe and potentially life-threatening!"
If a fish bone gets stuck in your throat, you should usually use tweezers or chopsticks to pick it out. It should also be removed under the guidance of a professional doctor. Do not use any folk remedies, otherwise some dangerous situations may occur.
If you are at home and have family members around, you can use tweezers or chopsticks to pick it out.
First, hold down your tongue with the handle of a toothbrush, then use a flashlight to observe the base of the tongue and the back of the pharynx. If you can see a fishbone, use tweezers or chopsticks to remove it. Don't swallow food or vinegar. Forcing food like steamed buns into the mouth can cause the fishbone to enter the esophagus, leading to more serious consequences.
But if you can't handle it yourself, you have to go to the hospital and let the doctor do it.
If done by a doctor, it can also better avoid the impact caused by fishbone infection.
At this time, Yang Ke asked again: "Why don't you just do CT scans from the beginning?"
Wei Ping said, "The situation was urgent. The patient suddenly became ill, so the first thing to consider was a myocardial infarction. Problems like fish bones aren't particularly critical. As long as the diagnosis is confirmed, there's no need to race against time."
