I Can See Health

Lu Chen did not leave the emergency department immediately, but returned to the ward.

Things seemed to have taken a slight turn for the better.

If the girl really fell in love early and broke up, the reason for her coma may come to light.

Lu Chen had once encountered, and many news had reported on, drinking sleeping pills, pesticides, and unknown psychotropic drugs.

"By the way, is there anyone else in your family?" Lu Chen said in a deep voice.

The woman is still in great grief.

Lu Chen yelled several times before she came back to her senses.

"No, no one. This happened at home, and everyone came to the hospital."

Lu Chen frowned, "Now ask one of your family members to go home immediately and search the bedroom where your daughter passed out to see if there are any medicine bottles or anything like that."

"Ah? Doctor...doctor, are you saying that my daughter takes medicine?"

"This is just a guess, it's very possible!" Lu Chen said seriously, "Based on the current examination and laboratory results, the cause of the coma cannot be found. Apart from drinking medicine, I really can't think of any other reason."

If it is an overdose of sleeping pills, it can lead to deep coma, respiratory depression, cardiac arrest, etc., which cannot be detected by ordinary blood tests and CT scans.

"Okay, let one of the relatives here go back now."

There seemed to be a hint of color in the woman's eyes. She quickly ran into the emergency ward and told a family member to go home and check to see if there were any empty medicine bottles or anything like that.

Lu Chen did not leave for the time being, but returned to the emergency department.

Anyway, he has nothing else to do now.

…

In the emergency department ward.

Deputy chief physician Lu Zhifeng is communicating with the patient's family about the condition.

"The family members should be mentally prepared. In this situation, they are only using drugs to maintain blood pressure and maintain breathing. Once the drugs are withdrawn, the person may be dead." Lu Zhifeng said slowly, "If you ask for continued treatment, you may need to be transferred to the intensive care unit. ?"

The patient's father is an honest and fawning middle-aged man with red eyes. "Doctor, tell me the truth, what are the chances that my daughter will wake up?"

"It's... hard to say." Lu Zhifeng shook his head slightly.

"Then... based on your experience, can you make a rough estimate?" the man whispered.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhifeng almost understood what the man meant.

The cost of transferring to the intensive care unit, maintaining monitoring and resuscitation is not something that an ordinary family can afford.

And in the end, it is very likely to end in a loss of both human and financial resources.

If a person from an ordinary family encounters something like this and fights to the end, it may not necessarily end well.

Lu Zhifeng was silent for a while and then said slowly: "Actually, to be blunt, if your daughter's current condition lasts a little longer, she can be diagnosed as brain dead."

"Brain dead?" The man's face darkened, "In other words, my daughter will become a vegetative state in the future?"

Lu Zhifeng shook his head.

"Brain death is not vegetative state. The two are different concepts."

Generally speaking, vegetative state refers to a state that is similar to the survival phenomenon of plants under some specific disease conditions.

Moreover, the vegetative person at this time will still retain some instinctive conditioned reflexes, and can also metabolize matter and energy. However, its cognitive function has been completely lost, and it is clinically considered an irreversible coma.

Brain death means that the brain function and brainstem function are damaged, which leads to brain death. For this kind of people, they cannot breathe on their own and need a machine to help them breathe.

"A vegetative person can live for many years without the need for medication or ventilator maintenance."

"But for brain-dead patients, it can only last for a few hours, two or three days, or only ten days and a half at the longest."

"What we can do now is look at the fate of the patient."

When the man heard Lu Zhifeng's words, his expression was extremely gloomy.

Brain death, which has undoubtedly diagnosed clinical death.

Continuing treatment may be in vain.

Do you really want to cure it?

"Doctor, I will discuss this with the child's mother." The man seemed to be choking, "I will give you an answer right away."

"Okay, let's discuss it as soon as possible." Lu Zhifeng said.

…

The patient's mother just had a glimmer of hope, so she asked her relatives to help her go home and take a look.

But after hearing the man's words, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he was frozen in place, unable to move for a long time.

brain death? !

Her tears seemed to have dried up and she couldn't cry anymore.

She ran to the hospital bed, stared closely at her daughter's appearance, stretched out her hand, tremblingly wanting to touch her face, and then slowly withdrew her hand.

"Xiaoyu, can you hear what mom said?"

"Xiaoyu, mom will never criticize you again."

"Xiaoyu, just open your eyes and say something to your mother..."

There were no more hysterical shouts and cries. The woman just squatted quietly beside the hospital bed, mumbling something, and her eyes had lost all energy.

Seeing this situation, the husband could not communicate with his wife about the next treatment plan.

He stepped forward, gently took his wife's arm, and said slowly: "The doctor said if you want to continue treatment, then transfer her to the intensive care unit."

His wife did not answer his words.

The man gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and continued: "Don't worry, as long as Xiao Yu is still breathing, he will continue to treat her even if she is trying to make trouble!"

As he talked, the man finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

At this time, the woman wiped away her tears, glanced at her husband, then slowly stood up and walked towards Lu Zhifeng.

…

Lu Chen had already returned to the emergency department ward.

But he was a consulting doctor and could only stay aside silently.

When he heard Lu Zhifeng talking about "brain death", he frowned slightly and didn't say much.

Judging from the patient's current state, he has no spontaneous breathing and is in a deep coma. At first glance, it does appear to be consistent with the diagnosis of brain death.

"Doctor Lu, do you have anything else?" Lu Zhifeng asked suspiciously when he saw Lu Chen leaving and coming back.

For general consultation doctors, UU reading www.uukanshu． After net wrote the consultation opinions, I was eager to leave as soon as possible. Who would stay in other people's departments? !

Lu Chen thought for a while and then expressed his thoughts, "Director Lu, I just heard from the patient's mother outside that the patient may have broken up recently."

"Huh?" Lu Zhifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then what?"

"I wonder if she is taking medicine at home..."

Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Zhifeng.

"Wait a minute, the patient's family is coming to talk to me."

At this time, the patient's parents were walking towards Lu Zhifeng.

When Lu Chen saw this, he stood aside silently.

"Director Lu, we...we want to ask about body donation..."

As soon as the patient's father spoke, everyone was shocked. 16377/10423503
