The emergency department on the first floor is full of people. There are never any empty beds in Guozhi's hospitals, they are all full.
A doctor's habit of walking quickly. Senior Brother Ren is obviously more like Teacher Tan. He walks as steadily and quickly as a soldier, blowing like a gust of wind in the corridor. The characteristic of walking fast is that you can't look around and avoid bumping into people, so you can go straight to your destination as if you were marching in a hurry.
As the two of them were walking with their heads down, someone in front of them shouted: "Doctor Ren."
Looking up with Senior Brother Ren, Xie Wanying saw Teacher Ye Qing and the others in front of them.
"Did I call you here too?" Ren Zhelun asked.
"You go into the office first, and we'll go see the patient first." Du Yeqing said to the two of them.
It was as if people in the office only wanted to talk to the two of them.
Seeing this, Ren Zhelun decisively opened the door of the director's office and went in.
"Didn't knock on the door." Boss Zhang inside said, not blaming in his tone, just complaining at most. Who knows that this proud disciple was favored by himself.
Ren Zhelun glanced around the room. Apart from Mr. Zhang, there was someone sitting on the sofa. It was Director Fang.
"Doctor Ren, thank you, doctor." Director Fang stood up to greet the doctor.
Doctors receive all kinds of patients, and there are all kinds of patients. The more senior doctors treat patients, the more likely they are to be rich or wealthy. Director Fang can be called "family members of noble people".
Xie Wanying, who was standing behind, could see that whether it was Boss Zhang or Senior Brother Ren, their expressions looked very cautious, and they probably didn't dare to utter the venomous words they usually used to make jokes.
After all, Director Fang is a director of the Medical Association, and it is said that he is temporarily serving as the director-general of the Medical Association. In other words, Director Fang knows a lot of people, and he knows a lot of big guys. Based on Director Fang's terrifying network of contacts, good things and bad things can be spread thousands of miles at any time through Director Fang's mouth. Do you think Mr. Zhang and the others dare not be cautious?
"Which hospital has the patient been to for treatment?" Ren Zhelun asked.
Such patients must have consulted big-name doctors in many hospitals.
Director Fang briefly introduced the patient's condition to the doctors: "My friend, a teacher at the School of Architecture, is sixty-eight years old, neither young nor very old. He didn't pay much attention to his health in the past, he loved to smoke, and he developed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The root of the disease."
COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a disease that can be understood literally. In layman's terms, the patient feels that his lungs are slowly becoming blocked when breathing. In professional terms, it refers to the airway and lungs. The airflow circulating inside is continuously restricted.
As for the cause, the most dangerous factor is smoking, as Director Fang just mentioned. For COPD patients who smoke, if they don't quit smoking, the disease will never be cured. It is conceivable that one of the causes of COPD is that the airways are continuously and chronically stimulated to produce an inflammatory reaction. This can also be caused by air pollution particles entering the airways and lungs in people's living and working environment.
Director Fang immediately told the doctor that the patient had COPD, which shows that he is really a master of medical anesthesiology.
This is because for extracardiac surgeries, especially minimally invasive surgeries such as thoracoscopic surgeries, it has been said before that under anesthesia, one lung must be collapsed and only one side can be ventilated, so as to create room for the doctor to operate. Patients with COPD have poor lungs and it is difficult to collapse one lung without causing problems.
Is COPD an absolute contraindication? Neither. First, we need to look at the degree of the patient’s COPD. Second, it depends on the length of the operation.
