Just using a ventilator or artificial lung on a patient will lead to infection as long as it lasts for a long time. Overuse of drugs for infections leads to drug resistance, and ultimately it is too common for such patients to die from infection.
Modern medicine cannot replace all functions of the brain.
The function of the brain is far more than just thinking, far more than autonomous breathing, blood pressure regulation, and far more than body temperature regulation. Once the brain is no longer in control, all body functions will become disordered and disordered within minutes, and the functions of various organs cannot be maintained for long.
The most common clinical situation is when the whole brain is truly dead, as is the case with Xiaoyu now, other organs will gradually develop problems and cannot be maintained by machines. As the doctor emphasized, you shouldn't waste money on this at all.
It’s not that doctors don’t understand the common people’s fear of brain death. What ordinary people fear is the misjudgment of brain death.
As Cao Yong pointed out during the previous discussion between the two Cao brothers, from the perspective of medical technology, the rate of misdiagnosis is so low that it is almost impossible, unless someone has a bad conscience.
Medicine emphasizes brainstem death as an important step in diagnosing brain death because of fear of misdiagnosis. In fact, brainstem death does not mean total brain death. However, since the brainstem is the only connection between the brain and spinal cord, severe brainstem damage will basically quickly evolve into total brain death. Xiaoyu’s death process is like this.
If the family members have the intention to donate, they should not wait until other parts of the patient's body other than the head appear.
Under such circumstances, some family members may think that the doctor's repeated mention of this is "callous": You "urged" me to donate, but I haven't even finished crying. I'm so sad. Do you have any other profit-making purpose?
If the doctor doesn't see that you want your family to survive in the world in another way, the doctor won't "rush" you, so don't overthink it.
In fact, doctors should take academic issues seriously and fulfill their obligation to inform families, and should not think about other messy things. This is what Cao Yong warned a group of Fang Ze's colleagues.
Senior Brother Cao is too on point as an academic. Several junior sisters and brothers thought.
This child is not under Zhai Yun's promotion. Zhai Yunsheng could only occasionally pay attention and ask about the progress of his colleagues. I came here today and found out that this is the problem. Due to the fact that I work in the same family, it is not as good as my nephew who can speak frankly.
The child's attending team frowned. Due to the strong attitude of the four elderly people, the attending team was a little timid. Now, outsiders have poured cold water on their heads and they are all sober.
If the donation fails before it is too late, it is equivalent to depriving the patient of another chance to "live" in this world. The responsibility for failing to fulfill the obligation to inform is indeed their doctor's responsibility.
Doctor Cheng Yuchen suddenly called the students: "Go back to the hospital quickly, there is news."
The words "news" mean that Zhu Xingxin's heart is settled.
All the doctors who heard the good news rejoiced.
Without saying a word, Cao Yong took the initiative to drive his junior brothers and sisters back.
On the way, Wei Shangquan bravely asked his seniors for advice: "Senior Brother Cao, have you ever seen a heart transplant surgery?"
"If you have been to the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department of our hospital and have seen transplant operations, you should have some insights into organ transplantation. You can tell me first." Cao Yong said.
I wanted to ask my seniors for advice, but my seniors turned me around.
Wei Shangquan scratched his head: "I have never been to a hepatobiliary surgery department."
This student Wei was very capable and threw the hot potato to the other two students.
