On the morning of April 3, 2022, in Chibi City, Hubei Province, a rapid whistle sounded from the traffic, and an ambulance was rushing to the hospital.
The girl lying on the stretcher had her eyes closed, and the woman sitting next to her looked sadly at the girl covering her face and crying.
The medical staff put on the blood pressure monitor, electrocardiogram lead wire and blood oxygen saturation probe on the monitor in turn, and kept her eyes on the data on the monitor.
Drip ......Drip ......Drip ......Drip ......”
Upon arrival at the hospital, the attending doctor quickly dealt with it. After CT and various examinations, the specific cause could not be found.
About two hours later, the girl suddenly breathed again and went into cardiac arrest.
The medical staff bent down and put their hand between the girl's nose, and after feeling a slight breath, "Hurry up and do cardiac resuscitation!" The doctor folded his hands on the girl's chest and said, "Now start CPR."
The medical staff straightened their hands and pressed down, silently saying "1, 2, 3, 4, 5......."”
The woman turned her head in pain and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, she couldn't figure out why her daughter had become like this? Obviously she was fine last night, why did she lie in the ambulance today, what happened to her?
The time went back to 11 o'clock in the morning, Xiaoyu's mother bought vegetables and went home as usual, and knocked on her daughter Xiaoyu's door, "Are you awake?" When you wake up, come out and do a favor."
After speaking, Xiaoyu's mother turned around and went into the kitchen to continue cooking, planning to wait for Xiaoyu to get up and let her do it.
After a while, Xiaoyu's mother found that Xiaoyu hadn't come out yet, and she knocked on her door again, the sound was slightly louder, but there was still no movement inside. Xiaoyu's mother felt a little strange, twisted the door open, and the scene in front of her made her gasp like an electric shock.
Xiaoyu fell to the floor, her whole body convulsed, the white medicine bottle rolling down to her hand, and the table top was a mess of clay, some of which fell on the edge of the table.
Light rain! Light rain! Xiaoyu's mother patted her daughter's face anxiously, "Don't scare your mother!" Crystal tears slipped from his eyes.
Xiaoyu's mother sniffled, choked and kept shouting "Xiaoyu", it took a long time to react, dialed 120 in a panic, looked back at her daughter who was still not awake, and became even more anxious.
Xiaoyu's mother stood up with her stool, quickly found her mobile phone, and finally opened it, Xiaoyu's mother tried to calm herself down and dialed 120, "Hey, hey, hey!" My daughter fainted! Motionless! Can't wake up! ”
The gentle female voice asked Xiaoyu's mother to provide her address and asked, "Auntie, calm down first, has your daughter had any medical history before?" ”
Nope! I suddenly fainted, and when I went in, I saw her faint! ”
Xiaoyu's mother returned to the room, noticed the medicine bottle in her daughter's hand, and said in a choked voice, "She, she, she seems to have taken some medicine, I don't understand, you hurry up!" ”
Okay, the ambulance has been dispatched, and I have passed on your situation".
The ambulance quickly drove into the community, and several medical staff carried Xiaoyu out of her home and took her to the hospital, when Xiaoyu's heartbeat had just recovered.
Xiaoyu's mother stood outside the rescue room, clasping her hands together and praying that her daughter could come out safely.
After a while, a man with a panicked look hurriedly ran over, and it was Xiaoyu's father who arrived.
is still rescuing", Xiaoyu's mother leaned on his shoulder silently.
Xiaoyu's father patted her shoulder and looked in the direction of the rescue room.
Xiaoyu's mother tried her best to restrain her crying, worried about disturbing the doctors who were treating inside, "What should I do, why is this happening!" ”
Xiaoyu's father didn't speak with red eyes, his hands glued together, and his eyes were glued together, his eyes glued to the door of the rescue room.
The doctor found that Xiaoyu would have convulsions, dilated pupils, and stiffened muscles all over her body, which looked very similar to the symptoms of epilepsy.
Xiaoyu's parents at the door denied that they had no history of epilepsy in their family, and there was no genetic condition, and Xiaoyu had never had such a situation before.
It's not epilepsy, but the various examinations have not found any symptoms of lesions, so how can it suddenly faint and go into shock?
At this time, Xiaoyu's mother remembered that before Xiaoyu fainted, she saw an empty bottle of medicine beside her.
The doctor asked what the medicine was, as it was essential for the current life-saving.
Xiaoyu's mother tried hard to recall the medicine bottle, but she was a little dazed, because there was nothing written on the bottle.
The doctor told them to hurry back and get the medicine bottle for testing, and he quickly went back to wash Xiaoyu's stomach.
At this time, Xiaoyu's breathing and heartbeat suddenly stopped!
Outside the ward, Xiaoyu's mother stood in front of the window and looked at her lifeless daughter, her head against the glass and cried in pain.
The doctor in the ward kept doing chest compressions, and after 10 minutes, the frequency of the heartbeat was finally seen on the monitor again.
Xiaoyu's mother saw her daughter escape again, and she was physically and mentally exhausted.
It's time to be intubated", the doctor said, let ** prepare the trachea, let Xiaoyu's head tilt back slightly, and then put the medical catheter deep into Xiaoyu's mouth, and then pull out the tube core, and put it in her lungs with a stethoscope to confirm that the catheter is in the correct position.
The doctor asked ** to connect the ventilation tube to the ventilator, and breathed a sigh of relief, gastric lavage does not solve all the problems, and now she must hurry up to find the name of the medicine, know what she has eaten to treat the symptoms, and pull the person back from the line of death.
According to what Xiaoyu's mother said, Xiaoyu's father found the blank medicine bottle around the table, about the length of the index finger, about the same size as the usual medicine bottle, the only difference is that there are no words on it, what medicine is in it? Or something else?
Xiaoyu's father searched carefully at home, trying to find the dropped pills or other things, but found nothing.
Maybe the hospital can detect what's inside?
With anticipation, Xiaoyu's father returned to the hospital again with an empty medicine bottle.
The doctor saw this empty medicine bottle, it was also very difficult to do, there were no pills, there was no medicine bottle description, he could only roughly judge that it was drug poisoning, before they had washed Xiaoyu's stomach and injected ** needle water, but due to the long time, the medicine that was eaten has been for a while, and the rescue effect is not very ideal.
So why did Xiaoyu take the medicine? Is it really a mistake? So what is this medicine? How did it get into Xiaoyu's hands?
A group of questions gathered in the hearts of Xiaoyu's parents, who stayed in front of Xiaoyu's hospital bed and pondered, holding her mobile phone to look through the chat and shopping records, but they couldn't find a clue.
Xiaoyu's condition deteriorated little by little, the doctor rushed into the ward several times to rescue, and a string of data on the monitor became an alarm bell in the brains of Xiaoyu's parents, staring at it all the time, and a heart was always in the throat, for fear that a number would disappear in the next second.
After persisting for more than ten hours, the doctor said in a heavy tone that the patient had no spontaneous breathing, no signs of brain resuscitation, and a very low nervous system score, and the preliminary diagnosis was brain death.
During the process, the hospital issued critical illness notices to Xiaoyu's family several times.
Xiaoyu's mother saw the big words on the white paper and black again again and again, and she couldn't hold back her emotions and cried on the floor.
The doctor standing on the side was deeply touched, and stood in place in silence, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiaoyu's father's dark hands squeezed the paper hard, and his bloodshot eyes were full of sadness, Xiaoyu was only 17 years old, the same age as flowers, and she was about to take the college entrance examination, and in a few months, she would be able to stand in the university of her dreams, but now she was judged to be brain dead.
The doctor looked at Xiaoyu's father again and again, and finally pursed his mouth and stood aside.
Heavy breathing and cries mingled through the bright corridor, and the sunlight cast on them through the windows of the hospital room, but it did not warm them.
After a long time, Xiaoyu's father raised his head and looked at the doctor and said an idea that surprised the doctor, he wanted Xiaoyu to donate organs.
Xiaoyu's mother couldn't believe it.
Choosing organ donation, donating all of my daughter's organs to those who need them so that she can live with us in another way. Xiaoyu's father expressed his thoughts.
Xiaoyu's mother stopped crying, and couldn't believe why Xiaoyu's father made this decision.
Xiaoyu's father expressed his thoughts, Xiaoyu is only 17 years old, I don't want her to end her life completely like this, choose organ donation, and she will accompany us.
After the doctor confirmed with them repeatedly, Xiaoyu's parents signed the organ donation form in pain, and the hospital contacted the organ donation unit of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University.
On the way, Ji Chunlan carefully studied the medical records of Xiaoyu sent by the hospital, and felt that maybe she might still have a chance of life, such a young life should not end here, she had to do something for Xiaoyu.
Ji Chunlan arrives at the hospital, where she and Xiaoyu's parents meet outside the ward.
Xiaoyu's parents shook their heads silently.
Ji Chunlan reassured, "When I came, I had already contacted Director Yu Chai, who is good at critical care, and he is very experienced in the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University."
Xiao Yu's father's lifeless face glowed with a hint of vitality, and his trembling lips showed his mood at this time.
I think Xiaoyu is young, respiratory and cardiac arrest occurred in the hospital, and the rescue work is quite timely, maybe we can try again."
Ji Chunlan believes that the doctor's job is to save the life of the wounded, and to do his best to find the patient's life and snatch the person back from the hands of death.
Director Yu of the Department of Critical Care Medicine II of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University arrived and quickly learned about the patient's situation.
He had already read Xiaoyu's medical records and explanation of the situation sent by Ji Chunlan, he felt sorry in his heart, and wanted to try again, what if Xiaoyu survived?
Originally, Xiaoyu's parents thought that they would give up Xiaoyu's life after they signed their names, but they didn't expect them to try their best to rescue them once, and they were so excited that they didn't know what to do.
After carefully checking Xiaoyu's condition, Director Yu relied on years of experience in critical illness treatment, combined with Xiaoyu's parents to learn about her usual physical condition, coupled with the timely rescue of several times in the hospital, which did not cause greater damage, and believed that removing the residual drugs in the blood should help the patient wake up.
Director Yu and Ji Chunlan walked out of the ward and suggested that Xiaoyu's parents transfer Xiaoyu to the People's Hospital of Wuhan University and try to rescue her.
At noon on April 5, Ji Chunlan actively contacted and personally sent Xiaoyu to an ambulance and transferred her from the local hospital in Chibi to the intensive care department of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University.
Director Yu has been waiting for a long time, and after Xiaoyu arrived, he led the team to start formulating a treatment plan for Xiaoyu in a race against time.
Director Yu judged that Xiaoyu had taken a large amount of antidepressant drugs, and the coma was caused by drug poisoning, and the equipment of the local hospital in Chibi was not enough to remove the residual poison from Xiaoyu's blood, which indirectly caused Xiaoyu to be unable to wake up from the coma.
After a short discussion, Director Yu asked the doctor to prepare plasma exchange.
Plasmapheresis is the process of drawing the patient's whole blood out of the body, separating the plasma and cells, discarding the plasma, and then transfusing the fresh plasma substitutes back into the patient's body at the same speed, so as to achieve the purpose of removing pathogenic substances.
Ji Chunlan's easy-to-understand explanation to Xiaoyu's parents is to exchange blood, replacing the "poisonous" blood in Xiaoyu's body with healthy and fresh blood, so that her body organs can function again.
However, soon Dr. Yu and the others were faced with another problem, which determined whether Xiaoyu could wake up again, and what was waiting for Xiaoyu's parents was dawn or night?
Time passed minute by minute, Xiaoyu was lying on a ventilator on a hospital bed, and there were several doctors standing around, who looked at the monitor from time to time and lowered their heads to record.
At this time, Director Yu's office was full of gloomy clouds, and Xiaoyu's parents bent over and leaned on the back of their chairs, sleepless for two consecutive days, worried and worried, and their spirits were about to collapse.
Because of the severe situation of epidemic prevention and control, there is a shortage of blood products in hospitals, and it is necessary to wait for fundraising. Could it be that his daughter Xiaoyu's life is really going to stop at the age of 17?
Fortunately, the doctor at the blood transfusion department said that 600 milliliters of plasma had been raised by the blood transfusion department.
Director Yu stood up energetically and led the team to start this crucial rescue operation.
The amount of plasma raised was not much, and every milliliter could not be wasted, so Director Yu planned to do double plasma exchange, plus two more hemoperfusions, and further remove the poisoned drugs through adsorption.
Double plasmapheresis refers to the separation of Xiaoyu's plasma twice, discarding the disease-causing plasma, and then transfusing the remaining plasma back into Xiaoyu's body with blood.
Hemoperfusion is to introduce the blood of light rain into a perfusion device with a solid adsorbent, and remove toxins, drugs and other pathogenic substances from the blood through adsorption.
From 3 p.m. on the 5th to 6 a.m. the next day, the rescue for Xiaoyu finally ended, Director Yu was so tired that he sat on the stool, Xiaoyu's condition had been stabilized, the toxins in the blood were completely removed, and now he was waiting for someone to wake up.
During the morning rounds, the doctor called out to Xiaoyu softly, "What's your name?" Can you hear ME? ”
Xiaoyu heard the voice, opened his eyes slightly, the value on the monitor stabilized, and the doctors present cheered, they succeeded, and finally snatched Xiaoyu back from the hands of death!
On the morning of the 6th, Xiaoyu, who miraculously woke up, was able to get out of the ventilator, removed the tracheal intubation, and found no other diseases in all the examinations, the brain was the key part of the examination, and the doctors in the neurology department looked carefully repeatedly, and no neurological sequelae were found.
This is simply a miracle, Xiaoyu's parents hugged her and cried silently, and pulled Director Yu and Ji Chunlan to thank them again and again, "If it weren't for you, how could my daughter come back to life, thank you!" You are truly the rebirth parents of your children! ”
From Xiaoyu's coma to waking up, the medical expenses had already cost more than 60,000 yuan, and in the face of the later ** expenses and follow-up expenses, it became a big mountain above Xiaoyu's parents' heads. Considering the situation of Xiaoyu's family, Ji Chunlan launched a public welfare fundraising activity through the "People's Aid Service Station" of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University.
Afterwards, Ji Chunlan, the organ donation coordinator who played an important role in this rescue, said solemnly, "We will not give up any one life in order to save multiple lives!" ”
Now, Xiaoyu, who is completely **, has been discharged from the hospital accompanied by her parents, and she has returned to her familiar home, she and her mother expressed that they really want to meet their savior, and their mother also made an invitation to Ji Chunlan.
In daily life, we try not to use bottles with blank shells for food and medicine, and if we use blank bottles, we should also use a pen to mark the names of the things inside to reduce the occurrence of tragedies.
In case of misingestion, overdose or poisoning, you should be sent to the doctor as soon as possible, and vomiting or gastric lavage should be induced as soon as possible.
