Start with the emergency physician

“Are you doing oxygen therapy?” Zhou Yuan’s face sank and asked.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is an unexplained disorder characterized by diffuse alveolitis and structural disturbances in the alveoli that eventually lead to interstitial fibrosis of the lungs.

After idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, dyspnea, cough, and later respiratory failure and right ventricular failure occur.

Listening to Chuchu’s previous statement, the first mother has reached the middle and end stage, and the only treatment is lung transplantation.

However, this lung disease is more common in older smoking men, like women in their thirties and forties.

“I’m doing oxygen therapy, but the effect is not very significant.” Lu Chenxi nodded.

“What about pirfenidone and nintedanib?”

This is a commonly used drug in the world to fight idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, both drugs can only delay the decline of lung function, can not stop the development of the disease, the biggest effect is nothing more than hanging life and other lung sources.

“Always used. In order to hang the life of Chuchu’s mother, Chuchu’s father worked hard to earn money, and his restaurant was busy from early morning to late night, he was alone, and he never rested. Speaking of this, Lu Chenxi felt some sympathy.

“What about the pulmonary source?” Zhou Yuan asked.

“Too many people are waiting for good lungs. Let’s not talk about the difficulty of lung transplantation, there is not even a legal lung source… Such a cute child, if there is no mother at such a young age, he will definitely be ridiculed by other children, right? Lu Chenxi said, his eyes a little moist.

Zhou Yuan also lowered his head, feeling a little depressed.

The reason why lung transplantation is difficult is not only the low success rate and high mortality rate, but also the inability to wait for the source of the lung.

At least 10,000 patients in country Z need lung transplants every year, but only more than 200 cases are done every year, and countless lives that could have been saved have lost their chances of survival.

In terms of hospitals, only 36 of the countless hospitals in the country have the qualification of lung transplantation, and only half of these hospitals have actually carried out lung transplantation.

Because this is an operation that requires the hospital to put money on, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, consumables, and the success rate is still low, requiring the close cooperation of a team including surgeons, respiratory doctors, anesthesiologists, ICU doctors, etc., which is thankless.

Among them, the main reason is the low success rate, which has dampened the confidence of many hospitals to perform lung transplants.

“How long can my first mother last?” Zhou Yuandao.

“At most… A month…”

Zhou Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally said: “If you wait for the lung source, contact me, I can help.” ”

Surprise flashed in Lu Chenxi’s eyes.

However, considering that the difficulty of lung transplantation is too high, only 36 of the countless third-class hospitals can obtain lung transplantation qualifications, and the requirements for doctors can be imagined.

It can be said that unless it is a one-legged doctor specializing in lung transplantation, he basically does not dare to use lung transplantation!

Therefore, she did not think about the main knife, but just thought that she would help stitch and stop the bleeding.

“I hope she can wait for the source of the lungs…” Lu Chenxi clasped his hands together.

After a while, Chuchu and Sun Meng returned.

The little girl still held the candy in her arms, jumped next to Lu Chenxi, and gave Lu Chenxi a few candies.

“Thank you Chuchu.”

Lu Chenxi touched Chuchu’s head.

The latter chuckled and ran to Zhou Yuan again, leaving five candies in his hand.

“Brother, stretch out your hand!” Chuchu ordered.

Zhou Yuan stretched out with a smile.

She counted five, gave Zhou Yuan two, hesitated, and gave Zhou Yuan another one.

“Okay!” Chuchu closed Zhou Yuan’s hands and said with satisfaction.

Several people held back tears and looked at Chuchu, who was playing with the candy in his hand.

“Okay, let’s go back.” Zhou Yuan finally said.

Before parting, Zhou Yuan stopped Lu Chenxi again, “Remember, you must contact me when the time comes!” ”

Chuchu, who was holding Lu Chenxi’s little hand, broke free and rushed towards Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan quickly squatted down and hugged Chuchu.

“Brother Zhou Yuan, don’t tell your sister, I’ll secretly give you another one!”

Saying that, Chuchu quickly got his little hand into Zhou Yuan’s hand, put down a candy, and ran away quickly.

On the return journey, Zhou Yuan kept clenching his fists and was silent.

“What’s wrong with you?” Sun Meng rarely saw Zhou Yuan so sad and asked.

Zhou Yuan did not speak, spread out his hand, and there was a red sugar paper candy in his palm.

Sun Meng was stunned for a moment, biting his lip, and could no longer speak.

Shortly after driving again, the two suddenly found that the road in front of them was half blocked, and several cars were parked there, surrounded by a large group of people.

Sun Meng slowly reduced his speed and prepared to go around from the side.

Suddenly, desperate, anxious cries came from outside the car window.

“Is there a doctor! There are doctors who do not! ”

“Are there any doctors here! The hand is broken! ”

Zhou Yuan and Sun Meng looked at each other, the latter immediately stepped on the brakes, and Zhou Yuan quickly opened the car door and rushed over.

“Get out of the way, I’m a doctor!”

Zhou Yuan shouted and squeezed into the crowd.
