Weill Hospital is located on Hong Kong Island, and it is very inconvenient to cross the sea to Kowloon.
In addition, the doctors who are free are now resting at home, and it is very troublesome to call them one by one, so it will take at least half a day for them to rush to Lingnan Hospital to help.
But more and more parents and young patients gathered at the scene, and even the pediatric outpatient clinic hall and corridors were full of people waiting.
Lin Sanqi knew that things were going to get bad and he had to find another way.
Sure enough, the opportunity came immediately. A woman in the waiting crowd screamed:
"Baby, baby, what's wrong with you? Don't call me mommy, doctor, help me, my son is having a seizure!!!"
Lin Sanqi was overwhelmed. He knew that what he feared would come true. The biggest complication of fever in children is high fever convulsion.
Typical symptoms are that the child suddenly loses consciousness, his limbs twitch, his eyes roll up or stare, his teeth are clenched, his face turns blue, he foams at the mouth, and his breathing becomes irregular.
It feels like I'm going to die.
This feeling is not what doctors feel, but what parents feel. They feel that their children may die, so they all become hysterical and crazy.
Like what we saw in the news decades later, in the icy and snowy Northeast, some parents were wearing long johns and desperately running to the hospital with their children in their arms;
Or there are parents kneeling on the side of the road holding their children, asking passing drivers to help take them to the hospital.
This special situation is mostly caused by children suddenly suffering from high fever convulsions.
Because this disease comes very suddenly and without any warning signs, it catches parents off guard.
When encountering a high fever convulsion, parents will have a mental breakdown and be at a loss, but doctors are usually very calm.
Although this disease looks scary when it occurs, it is actually harmless and rarely has sequelae. It will even heal on its own without treatment.
But if your doctor calmly walks over to take a look, calmly says to put the patient on the bed, and calmly gives orders to the nurse to get the medicine, then you can prepare to be beaten.
People who have lost their minds are scary, and parents who have lost their minds are even more like a powder keg.
So Lin Sanqi, He Changping and Yu Shifen quickly pushed through the crowd and ran over.
At this time, a middle-aged couple wearing high-end clothes was seen holding a little boy who was twitching and shouting, scaring the other parents nearby and making way for them.
Lin Sanqi ran over and took out an electronic thermometer.
Electronic thermometers had not been invented in this era, but Boss Lin is a time traveler.
It is very dangerous to use a mercury thermometer at this time, especially a rectal thermometer for children.
The child is already having cramps all over his body, and if you put a rectal obturator in his anus, there is a high possibility that he will break.
That would be a serious medical accident.
Lin Sanqi took out a digital thermometer and pressed it against the twitching child's ear, reporting: "Temperature 40.2 degrees."
Vice President He Changming, Children's Director Yu Shifen, and the young nurses who came over to help all breathed a sigh of relief.
The higher the body temperature that causes the convulsion, the more certain the doctor can be that it is a febrile convulsion, and the less serious the problem is.
If the temperature is as low as 37.5, or there is convulsion without fever, it often means the presence of epilepsy or other brain diseases, which is a big problem.
When the other parents saw that Lingnan Hospital actually had this advanced temperature monitoring device that could tell them the temperature just by whispering into their ears, their eyes widened.
At the same time, I have greater confidence in the strength of this hospital.
The little patient's parents were still breaking down and yelling:
"Doctor, please save my son. He's been the only son in our Li family for three generations. He can't die. He absolutely can't die."
Lin Sanqi pretended to be a little anxious and replied:
"Don't worry, once you enter the gate of our Lingnan Hospital, we will do everything we can to save the baby. We will take care of everything. Please move aside, we need to save the baby."
At this time, the young nurse had already pushed the emergency bed over.
Lin Sanqi personally placed the still twitching child on the emergency bed. Feeling the child's convulsions, he thought that it did look quite scary.
Yu Shifen took a look and reminded: "Boss, should we give aminopyrine an intramuscular injection now?"
Lin Sanqi shook his head, thinking that the treatment plan from the 1960s was indeed crude, so he shook his head and said:
"Immediately send him to the emergency room and put him on ECG monitoring. Use the one I brought. Also, immediately prepare an intravenous diazepam injection. Also, immediately insert two ibuprofen antipyretic suppositories into his anus."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
The doctors and nurses were well-trained and immediately began preparing for rescue.
When a nurse was about to pull up the curtain, Lin Sanqi stopped her, saying, "Don't pull it. Let everyone watch us perform the rescue."
Everyone is gossipy, and Hong Kong people are no exception.
Just now, when the children at Lingnan Hospital were preparing to rescue a patient, all the other parents were peeking in and gathered at the door to watch.
Lin Sanqi certainly would not miss this opportunity to advertise and let these Hong Kong natives see what the shocking black technology from the future is.
Then he quietly instructed the Vice President He Jiachang beside him:
"Director He, quickly call those reporters over and tell them we need to use new technologies and drugs to save seriously ill children."
He Jiachang nodded quickly when he heard it: "Okay, I'll go now."
Soon, the reporters who smelled the scent came rushing over. They had already received several hundred yuan in travel expenses, so they naturally knew how to speak well of Lingnan Hospital.
The whole place flashed with flashes. (This is actually an invasion of patient privacy, please do not imitate it.)
Seeing that the tools and the crowd were all in place, Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said, "Start the ECG monitoring."
Several electrode patches were stuck on the chest of the convulsing child, and a finger oxygen pump was placed on his finger. As soon as the electrocardiogram monitor was powered on, it immediately started to make a beeping sound.
Various red and white numbers, as well as electrocardiogram bands, were displayed on the screen.
The onlookers all exclaimed in surprise, and the reporters' flashlights flashed more frequently.
In everyone's eyes, the monitor on the bedside shelf looked like a color TV, but smaller and clearer.
Color TVs are not a rare thing in Hong Kong. After they were invented in the United States in the 1950s, a few Hong Kong families were equipped with them. After all, it is an international metropolis.
But the shock that Lingnan Hospital brought to people did not end there.
Director Yu and medical staff were over there rescuing the patient, while Lin Sanqi was introducing the product to the reporters and the onlookers at the scene:
"Dear journalists and fellow citizens, I have good news for you. Lingnan Hospital is the first in the world to introduce fully automatic electrocardiogram monitoring. Look at the numbers beating over there.
This represents the heart rate, this represents the blood pressure, this is the respiratory rate, and this is the oxygen saturation. In addition, we can also view the electrocardiogram throughout the whole process.
These data monitor a vital sign. If any one of them is abnormal, the machine will automatically alarm, making it easier for our doctors to observe and rescue the patient in time. Everyone says, why not advance this first?
In Hong Kong in the 1960s, vital signs were monitored manually. For example, blood pressure measurements required a mercury meter, while oxygen saturation measurements required a blood test.
There is no problem with regular outpatient treatment, but it wastes time in emergency treatment because it cannot be monitored in real time, delaying the condition.
Just as everyone was making waves of "oh", Lin Sanqi introduced several machines nearby:
"Look everyone, this machine is called a defibrillator. It's high-tech. If a patient has cardiac arrest, we simply place the machine on the chest and discharge electricity to stimulate the heart to start beating again."
At this time, a reporter asked:
"What if the patient stops breathing?"
Lin Sanqi has launched a new machine:
"When breathing stops, it's difficult to deal with. People think that if the heartbeat and breathing stop, the person is dead.
But we don’t think so in Lingnan Hospital. As long as the heart and breathing stop within a few minutes, we have a way to save the patient.
For example, if a patient stops breathing, we can install this ventilator to help the patient breathe. Don’t you think it’s better to put it first?”
The onlookers nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and each of them looked very serious.
Lin Sanqi was satisfied, so he continued to brag like a salesman with an advantage:
"In addition, please continue to look at these products. We also have heart compression pumps, negative pressure fracture fixators, multifunctional emergency beds, negative pressure suction devices, fully automatic gastric lavage machines, micro-injection pumps, peritoneal dialysis and blood purification, etc.
I'm not bragging, but even hospitals in the most developed countries like the United States and the United States can't compare to the equipment at Lingnan Hospital. It's no exaggeration to say we are the most advanced hospital in the world."
Wow~~~
The onlookers sighed again. (End of this chapter)
