¡¡¡¡¡¡(not counting the above)
After a brief examination, Li Xiaohu found out that it was a complication caused by hypertensive heart disease, called "pulmonary hydrops". In medicine, it is usually called "pleural hydrops". Water accumulates outside the lungs. It can be Caused by infectious inflammation, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, combined with pleural hydrops, or caused by some autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, and many other diseases, such as hypertensive heart disease, coronary heart disease, aortic valve Lesions, mitral regurgitation, arrhythmia, severe anemia, excessive fluid infusion, etc., can all be combined with pleural hydrops.
Acute pulmonary hydrops often occurs in autumn and winter when the weather gets colder, just like the current season of heavy snowfall. Therefore, sometimes, what looks like a picturesque scenery, but for some patients, is actually a nightmare. Such torture!
In the treatment of pulmonary hydrops, diuretics, vasodilators or morphine can generally be used in Western medicine. They all have a great soothing effect in the acute phase. However, after Li Xiaohu pondered for a while, he chose a method that would have faster and better effects. way, chest fluid extraction!
I saw Li Xiaohu's face was calm and his demeanor was calm, which was quite similar to Ye Qing's usual expression when seeing a doctor. Then he took an unopened syringe from the side, tore open the bag, installed the needle, and untied the future father-in-law. Carefully touch the collar of the adult's coat with your fingers. When you touch the spot, wipe it with an alcohol cotton ball, and then carefully insert the needle!
Using a syringe to remove accumulated water is indeed the simplest and most direct emergency method. It can be regarded as a minor operation. Li Xiaohu may have been too nervous for the first time to do it and even forgot to do local anesthesia. However, this operation is not considered a minor operation. It was very painful, but Ye Qing didn't say anything to correct him! Wouldn't it be a loss of Li Xiaohu's face if he corrected him at this time?
Wu Yuanyuan frowned, feeling a little bit resentful in her heart. She didn't want to see her father suffer, but when she saw that Li Xiaohu had already begun to extract fluid, her father didn't show too much pain and didn't even cry out. Just give up.
Fortunately, Li Xiaohu¡¯s basic skills were relatively solid. After draining out about 70 to 80 milliliters of accumulated water very smoothly, Wu Yuanyuan¡¯s father looked much better. At least, his heartbeat stabilized.
Although this small operation is simple, it extremely tests one's skills. It requires a thorough knowledge of the various organs of the human body, the science of surgery, etc., and it also requires courage and carefulness. Some people, although they know where to inject the needle and how much to inject, , but for the first time, it is not something that ordinary people can do if they really have to insert a needle into the other person's lungs!
If you don¡¯t believe it, go get a needle and try it, see if you dare to insert it!
This is much more difficult than drawing blood. Drawing blood only requires inserting a vein on the surface of the skin, tying it with a rubber tube, and making a fist, and you can see it. However, the lungs are in the chest and cannot be seen. If inserted incorrectly, they can easily be injured. and other organs!
It is Li Xiaohu¡¯s first time, and he is giving acupuncture to his future father-in-law. Can he not be nervous? The sweat on his forehead is oozing out, like soybeans!
Li Xiaomiao quickly stepped forward to wipe his brother's sweat and secretly gave him a thumbs up. Li Xiaohu looked at Ye Qing and couldn't help but grin when he saw that his master was also looking at him with approval.
Wu Yuanyuan¡¯s mother nodded. This child is indeed honest and honest, and his character should be fine. Now his medical skills seem to be not bad at all!
But Wu Yuanyuan¡¯s father was lying on the hospital bed, saying nothing and keeping a straight face, like a black-faced god. Ye Qing guessed that it was probably Li Xiaohu who didn¡¯t use anesthesia and caused the pain!
But this is the first time to do this, which is already very good!
"Uncle, aunt, I have another method here, which is to use Chinese medicine and moxibustion to treat pulmonary hydration. I wonder if you would like to try it?" Li Xiaohu said boldly after performing a small operation and it was quite successful. I said in my heart, my master is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. As a disciple, I can¡¯t embarrass him too much, so I should also practice a combination of Chinese and Western medicine!
If Ye Qing knew about it, he would be furious. Yesterday, a freshman even said that he looked younger than her. He was so proud of himself. How dare you call me an old man today? Looking for a fight, right?
Wu Yuanyuan¡¯s father¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°What a good boy, are you trying to show off, aren¡¯t you? You know both Chinese and Western medicine?¡± He was about to give a few words of advice, but when he turned around and saw Wu Yuanyuan's pitiful and expectant look, he reluctantly agreed, waving his hands and saying: "As long as it doesn't hurt as much as before! I can't withstand you with my old bones. Toss it like that!¡±
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. Wu Yuanyuan quickly said something nice and explained: "Dad, he was too nervous just now. When you glared at him, he forgot to give you an anesthesia!"
Wu Yuanyuan¡¯s mother said: ¡°No.??No matter anesthesia, anesthetics are not a good thing. Too much of them will affect the body. "Look, this attitude has changed a lot! Li Xiaomiao secretly waved his fist to encourage his brother.
Li Xiaohu said innocently: "In ancient times, Guan Gong scraped bones and treated poison without anesthesia" As the saying goes, a man can wear a thousand clothes but he can't wear it. When Wu Yuanyuan's father heard this, he heard it much better.
"Okay, I'll let you try. If you can't cure my pulmonary hydration, I won't agree to it in the future!" Wu Yuanyuan's father said with a straight face and very seriously.
Li Xiaohu was overjoyed immediately. Doesn¡¯t that mean that as long as the pulmonary hydration is cured, won¡¯t there be opportunities in the future?
"I'll get the medicine right away!"
Immediately, he turned around and ran away happily. After a while, he brought a medicine box and took out two medicinal materials and moxa sticks. This moxa stick is of good quality. Li Xiaohu made it at home according to the recipe given by Ye Qing.
"Coptis, croton?" Wu Yuanyuan's father is also a knowledgeable person. He may have done some research on traditional Chinese medicine. He recognized the two medicinal materials at once and said in surprise, "What do you use croton for?"
Everyone knows that eating croton will cause diarrhea! Wu Yuanyuan's mother also became worried.
Li Xiaohu said: "I am using it for external use, not for swallowing. After the moxibustion, there will be some vomiting and diarrhea, but it will not be too strong. It will not cause much damage to the body, but it will be a little uncomfortable. But this is what Master taught me. Give me a powerful way to remove water in the lungs!"
Ye Qing shouted: "Just talk and don't practice fake moves, stop showing off, hurry up!"
"Oh!" Li Xiaohu nodded and started quickly. He first peeled the croton shells like peanuts, took out the kernels, and mashed them. Then, he put on disposable sterile latex gloves, mixed them with coptis powder, and added water. Knead it up.
Ye Qing nodded. The purpose of wearing gloves was to prevent his fingers from being burned, which showed that this kid was more familiar with the properties of medicine. Thinking that it was his first time to do this, his fingers were burned several times. However, one learns a lesson and one is wise. After you burn it a few times, you will remember it!
