Chapter 162 - Indestructible Trust (2/2)

Her blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation displayed on the ECG monitor had dropped to a critical level.

“Central venous line kit,” said Zheng Ren in a deep voice.

The nurse from the gastroenterology department was stunned for a brief moment and then immediately reacted.

It was difficult to locate a vein using a needle with a larger diameter in a patient with hemorrhagic shock, which was why they had managed to use a smaller bore needle to establish a venous channel, barely keeping her alive.

That was the best they could do. After all, if blood was transfused through a cannula with a small internal diameter, the patient would be dead before the blood bag was fully used up.

Zheng Ren’s voice shocked Xie Yiren. With misty eyes, she turned around to make sure that she was not hallucinating and dived into his embrace, crying out loud at the same time.

She had just witnessed her bestie suddenly collapse before her.

From a lively, carefree, youthful, beautiful girl…

To an ashen-faced, critically ill patient at the end of her life.

Xie Yiren had witnessed the whole process in less than ten minutes and had now completely collapsed as well.

This was different from resuscitating patients. Regardless of how one treated the patients like family, the most they could feel was empathy. One’s reaction would vary hugely when relatives or friends were involved.

Fortunately, there was still a large difference. If all medical personnel mentally collapsed like Xie Yiren in rescue operations, how many people would perish?

Xie Yiren found some closure in her unfaltering trust in Zheng Ren, and his broad chest provided her an infinite sense of security.

“Ding-dong!”

The System’s mission alert rang out unexpectedly in Zheng Ren’s mind after its long hibernation.

[Continuous Mission: Indestructible Trust.

[Task: Fulfill Xie Yiren’s wish.

[Reward:

[1. Pa.s.sive ability—unlimited Charm. Each successful surgery grants a chance to gain others’ admiration that can be used to increase Charm. Charm is related to Toughness and Reliability.

[2. 100 skill points, 1000 experience points and a gold chest.

[Time: 2 hours.]

Zheng Ren ignored the System. In fact, he did not even hear the mission alert as his mind was currently focused on how to pull Miao Xiaohua from the brink of death in this urgent rescue operation.

Moreover, there was a delicate softness in his embrace…

Patting Xie Yiren’s soft, furry head in silence, Zheng Ren brought her to the side and asked her to quietly stay put. After that, he quickly turned around, took a pack of sterile gloves from a nurse’s hands, tore it open and proficiently put the gloves on.

“Open the central venous line kit,” Zheng Ren instructed as he approached Miao Xiaohua.

During resuscitation, anyone who gave medical instructions would be the backbone of the rescue operation, but it was a risky task due to the tremendous stress one had to endure.

A happy ending would follow a successful resuscitation, but the backbone would have to take the fall if the operation ended up in failure.

Once the sterile kit was opened, Zheng Ren first disinfected the area of the skin over the planned insertion site before holding the hollow needle in his right hand while searching for a vein with his left finger.

Zheng Ren had demonstrated his impressive capability during the nitrite poisoning rescue operation. Focusing his entire attention in the moment, he pierced the needle through the skin and immediately noticed a flashback of blood.

“LMW Dextran at full speed!” Zheng Ren barked, attaching the infusion drip.
