In April 2022, Xiaoyu, a 17-year-old girl in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, was declared brain dead by doctors because she took too many drugs and failed to save her.
Although Xiaoyu's parents were very sad after losing their daughter, they decided to donate Xiaoyu's organs to help more people.
Ji Chunlan, the coordinator of organ donation, sorted out Xiaoyu's information and sent it to the People's Hospital of Wuhan University for final evaluation. Unexpectedly, after reading the information, Yu Chai, director of the intensive care department of the hospital, immediately contacted Ji Chunlan and told her: "Xiaoyu still has a glimmer of life, don't send the donation room for the time being." ”
As for whether Xiaoyu can be saved, and the reason why she took the drug, all this needs to be further investigated and understood.
Whether or not they accept the doctor's recommendation to donate their child's organs. Although the door of the rescue room was filled with the sound of prayers, not every prayer was answered.
In this time of grief, they must make a painful choice, even if it means losing their loved ones. Their decision will affect the lives of many others, making them angels of donation.
However, whatever decision they make, it is a difficult psychological challenge. While they digest the bad news, we also hope that their children will be able to find peace and rest.
After some struggle, Xiaoyu's parents walked into the doctor's office and expressed their desire to donate Xiaoyu's organs. Xiaoyu was a caring child before her death, and often fed stray cats and dogs in the community.
Xiaoyu's parents think that if their bodies can help others recover after death, Xiaoyu should be happy too. Upon learning of the idea, the doctor immediately refreshed.
You must know that there is still a huge gap in the number of organ donations in China, and millions of people are waiting for organ transplants, otherwise there would be no black industries such as "cutting kidneys" and "selling kidneys".
However, organ donation requires very strict conditions to be met, and donated organs must be carefully evaluated. At the same time, according to the traditional concept of the Chinese, a "whole corpse" should be left after death.
When cremation was first introduced, it caused opposition in China, not to mention that now there are "missing arms and legs". The emotional, moral, and other issues involved behind this are too complex.
Xiaoyu's parents' approach brings hope to the medical community, because if there is an organ donor, doctors must communicate with the family in a very short time. In an atmosphere of grief, communication can lead to contradictions and conflicts.
However, the need for organ transplantation is very urgent, so the principle of fair and open organ distribution is particularly important. All patients who need an organ transplant must be registered and then wait for a suitable donor to appear.
When the news came, doctors from Chifeng City Hospital immediately contacted the People's Hospital of Wuhan University, and Dr. Ji Chunlan rushed to Chifeng City immediately after receiving the news.
As the organ donation coordinator, Dr. Ji Chunlan has a dual task: not only to conduct a final evaluation of the remains, but also to inform the transplant recipients to prepare for surgery.
After the donation surgery is completed, she must immediately rush to the patient's hospital with fresh organs. Because organs are preserved for a limited amount of time, each step of delay can lead to the loss of activity of the organ.
Dr. Ji Chunlan immediately set off from Wuhan and rushed to Chifeng City. Doctors at Chifeng City Hospital gave her Xiaoyu's information and took her to meet with Xiaoyu's parents.
Xiaoyu is only 17 years old and is a student preparing for the college entrance examination. Faced with the loss of such a young life, Dr. Ji Chunlan was very saddened. She sorted out the information of the deceased's condition and sent it back through the People's Hospital of Wuhan University, which created a miracle for Xiaoyu.
The unfortunate poisoning of the college entrance examination girl, Xiaoyu suddenly died of bizarre poisoning while spending the Qingming holiday at home. As a senior in high school, in order to save study time, Xiaoyu has been living in school, even during holidays, and stays at the desk in the room almost every day.
Although Xiaoyu's parents were unable to help her with her studies, they did their best to support her by preparing nutritious and delicious meals for Xiaoyu or sending fresh fruits.
In this society, where the word "roll" is fashionable, the pressure faced by college entrance examination students is even more unbearable. Xiaoyu, a 17-year-old teenager, chose to take a whole bottle of medicine in his room because he couldn't bear the grievances he might suffer in school and school.
The drug worked quickly, causing Xiaoyu to lose consciousness. When the mother came to the room, she saw her daughter who was lying on the ground and her body was convulsive, and immediately panicked, and while shouting her daughter's name, she urgently dialed 120.
Xiaoyu was sent to the hospital in Chifeng City in time, but the mother could only look at the empty bottle on the table, which was the only clue left by her daughter before the accident.
It was preliminarily judged that Xiaoyu may have been poisoned by taking the drug by mistake. In the routine rescue measures, the doctor performed gastric lavage and cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Xiaoyu**.
However, the situation has not improved significantly, and Xiaoyu's vital signs are still deteriorating. It turned out that Xiaoyu's father, who was at work, immediately rushed to the hospital after receiving his wife's **.
When he learned that his daughter had been poisoned by medication, his face looked incredulous. Because in his eyes, his daughter Xiaoyu has always been a very well-behaved and quiet girl, and there is no indication that she will behave like this.
Xiaoyu is a well-known "good girl" at home, usually studies seriously, does not go out to play, and spends most of her time studying, always reassuring her parents.
When resting, Xiaoyu will bring the unfinished meals at home to the community and feed the stray cats and dogs. Her parents have never objected to her behavior.
Although the family's economic conditions are not wealthy, Xiaoyu's parents, who have no worries about food and clothing, could never have imagined that such a thing would make their daughter embark on such an extreme path.
Now, the truth is only waiting for her daughter to tell them herself. However, Xiaoyu's blood has been invaded by drug toxins and spread to organs throughout her body, and she can no longer breathe on her own.
The toxin further eroded her brain, leaving her on the verge of brain death, with little chance of treatment. The couple clung to each other, anxiously waiting for news outside the rescue room.
They watched groups of doctors come and go, but the red light in the emergency room was always on, and all they got was critical illness notices.
After several rounds of desperate rescue, doctors still could not save Xiaoyu's young life. They walked out of the operating room and told Xiaoyu's parents about the cruel truth. Although Xiaoyu still has signs of life, she is supported by the hospital's medical equipment, and once she is out of these equipment, Xiaoyu will immediately lose her life, because her ability to breathe on her own has been completely lost.
However, such a situation is also difficult to last, and Xiaoyu will soon enter a state of brain death. Although it is still possible to continue treatment, there is little hope. The implication is to let Xiaoyu's parents be mentally prepared and start taking care of the aftermath.
Xiaoyu's parents decided to donate their daughter's organs after her death, and their decision touched the People's Hospital of Wuhan University. The expert group from various departments of the hospital consulted, and the director of the intensive care unit, Yu Chai, proposed to Dr. Ji Chunlan not to perform organ donation surgery on Xiaoyu, because the girl could still be saved.
On the front line of life and death, the power of life is vividly displayed. Xiaoyu's parents did not hesitate to sign the consent form for organ donation, igniting hope for other lives.
However, time is running out and the deadline for organ preservation is approaching. After Director Yu Chai's assessment, Xiaoyu was still saved. He immediately contacted Dr. Ji Chunlan, hoping that she could send the patient to Wuhan People's Hospital as soon as possible to gain more time and possibilities for life.
After learning the good news that Xiaoyu had recovered to health, Dr. Qi Chunlan immediately notified the transportation department and opened a medical green channel to transport Xiaoyu from Chifeng City to Wuhan City.
Due to the short duration of the poisoning and the timely treatment, although the Chifeng City Hospital was unable to fully restore Xiaoyu's health, it still slowed down the spread of the toxin. Now, Xiaoyu still has toxins left in her blood, so we decided to help her remove the toxins from her blood, which is also known as "exchange transfusion".
Exchange transfusion"It seems simple, but it's actually challenging. Every organ in the body needs blood to provide oxygen, and if the blood is drained, these organs fail.
Therefore, it is not possible to draw all the blood out and wash it before putting it back in. And, in order to remove toxins, new blood needs to be replenished. The exchange transfusion of the whole body requires a large amount of blood, and every link must be closely coordinated, which is a big test of the willpower and concentration of medical staff.
In China, there have been many successful cases of blood exchange**, and there are even rumors that some rich people will also prolong their lives by replacing fresh blood, but most of them pass"Small amounts many times"It is rare for people to replace the blood of the whole body at one time.
Xiaoyu is going through an unprecedented test of life and death, hers"Whole-body exchange transfusion"The operation was already underway and lasted more than 10 hours after two days, including blood exchange and hemoperfusion.
It is gratifying that the operation has been successfully completed, and Director Yu Chai has conveyed the good news to Xiaoyu's parents. However, the process did not end there, and she was immediately sent to the intensive care unit after the operation.
A few hours later, Director Yu tried to evoke Xiaoyu's name, hoping that she would regain consciousness. Only when consciousness is restored can the operation be considered a real success.
In the endless call of Director Yu Chai, Xiaoyu's life finally reacted, and she moved her fingers. This subtle change surprised Director Yu Chai and the medical staff present.
Then, Xiaoyu's eyes also opened, which undoubtedly showed that her life had been successfully saved. Seeing their daughter open her eyes, Xiaoyu's parents cried with joy, they held their daughter's hand tightly and called her name over and over again.
Subsequently, the hospital conducted a comprehensive examination of Xiaoyu and confirmed that the poisoning did not leave her with any sequelae, and she could live a healthy life. For the huge cost of surgery, the hospital opened a crowdfunding channel for Xiaoyu's parents, raising a total of 170,000 yuan in donations, which greatly reduced their financial pressure.
Xiaoyu regained her health and returned to her parents. Although the surgery was successful, the challenges for her parents were just beginning. They need to find out why Xiaoyu chose to take the drug and untie the knot in her heart.
Nowadays, psychological problems are becoming more and more important in society, especially among teenagers, and paying attention to their mental health has become a top priority for parents and schools. We need to be vigilant, but also to give respect and space, because it is only in a comfortable environment that children will open their hearts without reservation.
