The reason is that this thing is extremely expensive and all of it needs to be imported. The national finance cannot support the popularization of it in public places.
Once again, to be healthy, we first need to develop the economy and industry, and we can build it ourselves.
In such an environment, many people don't know what this thing is. It is normal for flight attendants to see it as a wolf or a tiger and not know that it is a life-saving device. They can bring it on the plane only because they are medical personnel, otherwise they can't even bring it on board, but it is absolutely impossible to turn it on and use it at this stage.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanying decisively retracted her hand and dared not turn on the phone.
Doctors must abide by the law, no matter what era it is.
There was no way to use it to draw an electrocardiogram for the patient. Originally, she just wanted to draw an electrocardiogram for the patient to verify whether her brain's speculation was wrong, so that the patient's treatment plan could get more accurate guidance. Now, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and rely entirely on her brain.
Holding the patient's neck, the patient was not in right heart failure or total heart failure, and the jugular vein was not distended. The carotid artery pulse was weak, and the patient's skin was damp and cold, with a large area of cold sweat. The patient's consciousness could disappear at any time. If you open the patient's eyelids, you may see panic signals from the patient's eyes. The entire human body tissue is in a state of low perfusion, indicating that it is on the verge of cardiogenic shock.
Lu Xin took out the blood pressure monitor and measured the patient's blood pressure. The systolic pressure dropped below 90 and the diastolic pressure dropped to 50, which was dangerous.
Another precordial hammering? Impossible. The patient is now bradycardic, and heart failure caused by hypothyroidism is characterized by bradycardia.

For patients like this, atrioventricular block is not something that can be cured by a pacemaker, but rather a left ventricular assist device is needed for heart failure. Cardiovascular interventional surgery such as intraaortic balloon pumping or even surgery is needed to place a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) on the patient.
Can local hospitals around the capital perform such operations? They can’t. Not even small hospitals or large hospitals can do it. These technologies are high-end specialized technologies and have not been fully promoted in China.
This kind of patient can only seek life-saving help from the capital hospital. So this is also why she was considering whether the patient could be flown directly to the capital for treatment. Her brain had already estimated that such risks on the flight would also occur when the plane landed at other airports temporarily. The probability of this patient's sudden condition is high at any time and anywhere. Just like her cousin, it would be too late for the ambulance to send the patient to the capital's big hospital.
Xie Wanying raised her head.
The flight attendant took notice of her look and ran to inform the captain.
After receiving the feedback from inside the cabin, the captain and co-pilot made prompt decisions and seized every possible opportunity to land the plane as soon as possible.
The medical staff here need to buy as much time as possible for the patient.
"Change the breathing bag." Xie Wanying gave the next instruction.
Lu Xin took out a breathing bag from the first aid kit she carried.
The breathing bag is the common name for a simple respirator. You can think of it as a very simple ventilator. Its function is similar to that of a ventilator, which is to provide artificial ventilation for patients with respiratory failure. In addition to replacing ventilators, the breathing bag can replace the mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-mouth and nose breathing of medical staff when they perform CPR on patients. Having a tool is definitely much better than medical staff blowing with their own mouths.
It is a device used to provide artificial ventilation for patients. Its components include, not surprisingly, an inlet valve, an outlet valve, and a part that manually controls the rhythm of inhalation and exhalation: a balloon that is squeezed by hand.
