Progressive respiratory failure is very torturous. Bao Changtai has almost forgotten what normal breathing should look like.
Tao Le couldn't estimate how long the golden finger would take effect, and then turned off the ventilator.
Mechanically assisted ventilation is very unfriendly to people who are awake and able to breathe on their own.
Having a finger-thick tube inserted down the throat and into the trachea is already uncomfortable enough.
Not to mention regular ventilation.
Think about it, just as you were about to exhale, a burst of oxygen entered your lungs along the tube. Before you could react, another wave came.
Therefore, patients who enter the ICU and receive mechanical ventilation are usually given drugs to make them sleepy.
If you don’t know anything, there will naturally be no pain.
Bao Changtai is a very tough person, and he has been working hard to adjust his breathing rhythm and try his best to keep it in sync with the ventilator.
In times of respiratory distress, this effort can be helpful and effective. But when spontaneous breathing becomes more and more unobstructed, mechanical ventilation becomes extremely obstructive.
Tao Le's move made the nurse beside the bed, Xiao Gao, immediately startled: "Doctor Tao, you can't turn off the ventilator, the patient can just point at it!"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Tao Le and quickly removed the tracheal intubation tube.
"Hey, wait a minute, we can't pull it out! The patient's blood oxygen saturation level can barely reach 80% with the help of the ventilator. You can pull it out now."
She glanced at the monitoring equipment subconsciously, and then froze: "Ninety percent, ninety-one and ninety-three?"
Xiao Gao stared blankly for a while, then felt that everything in front of her was beyond her knowledge.
Bao Changtai felt particularly good. The suffocating feeling that the lungs were full of oxygen but still couldn't be absorbed disappeared.
He had never thought that this kind of ordinary little thing, which almost everyone is born with and can do, could actually bring such a strong sense of satisfaction.
Not only that, the unbearable pain in the mouth, esophagus and stomach that was still there even after injection of painkillers gradually disappeared.
Just a few needles and a few minutes. There is such an obvious change.
This Doctor Tao not only has real talent and knowledge, but also has magical medical skills.
The emotion shown in his eyes was so strong that Tao Le even noticed it.
"You should be able to speak now. If you feel uncomfortable, just say it."
Bao Changtai smiled bitterly. All the superficial skin in his mouth and throat had festered and fallen off. He had coughed it out piece by piece in the past few days - it was impossible to speak.
But he didn't want to offend Dr. Tao's kindness, so he tried his best to open his mouth: "Thank you."
The slightly hoarse voice came out, and even Bao Changtai himself was shocked.
"Changtai, are you okay? Can you speak?" His wife immediately rushed to the bed, tears falling instantly.
"I'm much better." Bao Changtai said softly: "Acupuncture is very useful."
"Thank you, Doctor Tao!" His wife laughed and shed tears: "Did you hear that, Lao Bao said he is much better!"
"I heard it." Tao Le chuckled.
She enjoys hearing the sincere thanks from patients and family members. This made her realize that everything she did was meaningful.
This was the reason why she chose this long medical path.
A pleasant reminder sounded: "Treatment completed, patient's health increased by 9 points."
The patient's health value returned to 22 points, and the interface changed from purple to deep red.
[A total of 9 points of toxins were absorbed during this treatment, and the equivalent value was converted into life source energy. The current life source energy balance is 110512 points. Will the patient be reinfused? whether. 】
Tao Le lost 9 points, and then watched his health rise to 31 points.
After returning to Yun City these days, the vase finally turned transparent and crystal clear under the influence of some kind of force, and the balance of life source energy in her golden finger interface had also increased to 110,000.
Regarding this matter, neither Ximu nor Xiaolin nor Xiaoqi raised any objections. It seemed that they took out the vase just to increase her life energy.
This made her somewhat embarrassed. Maybe she shouldn't take it for granted and give them some feedback appropriately?
After the acupuncture was completed, Tao Le silently pulled out the needles.
The effect of the treatment was obvious to all. Director Xiao and Director Sun were both so surprised that they were speechless.
Without a ventilator or oxygen, the patient's blood oxygen saturation reached 93%. Although it was still different from ordinary people, it was many times better than before.
Moreover, the patient's open mouth had changed drastically from its previous miserable appearance, and a light pink film had formed in the mouth. No wonder he could speak again.
Needless to say, the patient's wife and children thanked Tao Le without words.
But the old lady just nodded politely and didn't say anything else.
She held the cross tightly and recited prayers to the Lord devoutly.
Tao Le heard clearly, what she said was: "Thank you, my Lord, for filling our hearts again with your spirit of joy. With your precious blood, you have wiped out the sins of the past and given us a new life."
In the eyes of the old lady, Tao Le was sent to her son by the gods to treat his illness.
Even if it wasn't Tao Le, there would still be Zhang Le, Li Le, and Qian Le, so there was no need to thank her at all. What I had to thank was the omnipotent Lord.
At this time, Dean Lin and the director of respiratory medicine arrived together.
The head clothing manager's voice was deep and penetrating, and Tao Le had very good ears. He could hear it very clearly even half the way across the corridor.
"With such a serious condition, I need to be admitted to the ICU immediately. How can I be arranged to the digestive endoscopy ward?"
"The patient disagreed and asked Tao Le to come over for treatment." Dean Lin's words were also a little helpless.
"But this is paraquat. After the lethal dose, there is no chance at all - let Tao Le treat it, isn't it a joke?"
"I have seen a total of eight people who drank paraquat in my life, and the first seven of them were in pain. Hey, I also hope for a miracle, but with this kind of disease, there is no chance of an accident!"
"Don't be impatient, let's take a look at the situation first," Dean Lin said.
After pushing open the door of the ward, the director's eyes fell on the patient, and he immediately became angry:
"Where's the ventilator? How can we survive without even inserting the tube?" He ignored Tao Le and just stared at the nurse Xiao Gao, who was at a loss what to do:
"Director, this is what Dr. Tao means, and you can see that the blood oxygen has gone up."
"No matter who means it, they must be responsible for the patient's life!" Director Yi's heart became even more angry.
