409 Intensive Care Unit ICU (1/2)

At the ICU, the doctors started regulating the body temperature and acid-base balance of the patient who was just sent in. At the same time, they had to replenish his bodily fluids and regulate the electrolytes in his body.

In a smaller hospital, a patient who just went through prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) probably needed the care of all the staff members in the ICU. Even in Yun Hua Hospital, he would also need a lot of staff members from the ICU tending to him.

At least half the staff members in the ICU were busy tending to the patient.

After resting for a moment, Ling Ran took the elevator upstairs as he massaged his hands. He was about to take a look at the situation inside the ICU.

Doctor Zhou stared at Ling Ran. He contemplated for a moment before immediately catching up to Ling Ran.

”Are you going to the ICU?” Doctor Zhou entered the elevator. He knew that his guess was correct when he saw the elevator button that was lit.

Ling Ran nodded and continued massaging his wrist. ”I wonder how he is now.”

The previous patients he performed CPR on suffered hit with a myocardial infarction in the hospital. They received immediate medical attention. Therefore, the prognosis was naturally excellent.

However, it would not be this easy for this patient, who had just undergone prolonged CPR to recover.

Doctor Ling gazed at Ling Ran's wrists and asked, ”Pain in the wrist?”

”A little. I pulled a muscle, and there's also a bit of contusion.” Even though Ling Ran had basically replenished his energy and stamina after consuming a bottle of Energy Serum, he could only rely on himself to recover from these external injuries. Even his Master Level Osteopathic Manipulation Skill could only relief the pain a little.

After a doctor carried out CPR for more than an hour, every single muscle in his body would definitely ache.

”I'll introduce you to this analgesic cream later. It's pretty effective.” After Doctor Zhou said that, he glanced at Ling Ran and said, ”Prolonged CPR is not only very challenging for the patient, but also for the doctor.”

Ling Ran nodded in agreement.

*Ding.*

The elevator stopped. Doctor Zhou moved aside to let Ling Ran exit the elevator first before walking behind him. ”Ling Ran, don't be in a hurry to go over first.”

Ling Ran stopped and looked at Doctor Zhou.

He was used to this kind of tone. Usually, if a girl were to speak to him like this, she was probably going to confess to him. However, ever since he left elementary school, there were very few girls who were brave enough to confess to him.

And when a guy talked to him in this kind of tone, it was usually because he was about to announce his ownership over a girl. Ling Ran was also very used to this kind of situation, and knew how to deal with it very well.

Ling Ran looked at Doctor Zhou with a curious gaze.

Doctor Zhou had not seen this kind of expression and gaze on Ling Ran before.

He cleared his throat a few times a little diffidently and said, ”I kind of left something out just now. Prolonged CPR is also a challenge for the patients' family members.”

”Hmm?”

”Hey, let's talk over there.” Doctor Zhou gestured for them to go over to one side of the corridor. They faced the large glass of the ICU. Doctor Zhou looked at the sides before he said, ”I don't want to talk about the principles of life right now. Let's talk about what's going to happen next.”

”Sure.”

Doctor Zhou said as he looked in the direction of the ICU, ”After going through more than one hour of CPR today, this patient might recover, but his condition might also worsen, and he might go into a vegetative state, understand?”

Ling Ran nodded a little. Doctor Zhou had stated all of the possibilities, and he had no choice but to agree.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

”If he goes into a vegetative state, it would be a psychological torture for all his family members.” Doctor Zhou summarized it in one sentence and said, ”Let's assume he recovers well, how long do you think that he would need to stay in the ICU?”

”It's hard to tell. In the best case scenario, he'll probably be there for around two weeks. It might also take a month or two. We will be able to get a better picture after we see if the patient is able to urinate tomorrow...” Ling Ran started analyzing.
