I Can See Health

   Chapter 87 Elevator Failure

  The elevator door slowly closed.

   "Are you going to the fourth floor?" Lu Chen looked at He Sirong.

   "Well." He Sirong nodded, "This is a patient with a large amount of pericardial effusion, and is going to be sent to the CCU for pericardiocentesis."

  Lu Chen raised his brows and turned to look at the patient on the bed.

   I saw that the patient was short of breath and sweat was oozing from his forehead.

   The health on his head is a red 54.

   Massive pericardial effusion?

   He happened to be practicing pericardiocentesis in virtual space recently.

   But after all, it is virtual, and the operation in the real world is definitely different.

   If it wasn't for the fact that he was going to have dinner now, Lu Chen really wanted to go to CCU to observe the puncture process.

   "Lu Chen, what have you been doing all day today?" Ke Yue suddenly said, "I checked the room in the morning and you disappeared. This is not your style."

   "I helped my classmates on the night shift yesterday." Lu Chen smiled, "The ward is not busy today, so I will go back to rest first."

   "Ah? Are you working the night shift?" Ke Yue wondered, "Which department's night shift?"

   "Endocrine." Lu Chen said.

   "Huh? The endocrinology department shouldn't be busy. You still slept all morning today?" Ke Yue laughed.

"I'm busy, I'm not busy yet?!" Lu Chen couldn't help sighing, "Maybe my face is too dark, and it's dark wherever I go. Last night, I rescued a patient, admitted a critically ill patient, and was woken up in the middle of the night. Above, I didn't sleep much."

   "Ah, your face is so dark..." Ke Yue said.

   As soon as the voice fell, everyone felt a "bang".

   The descending elevator suddenly shook.

  Everyone crooked.

   And the elevator suddenly stopped on the fifth floor.

   However, the elevator door did not open.

  Lu Chen frowned and pressed the button to open the door.

   But there is no response at all!

   "The elevator is broken?" Jiang Qingyan frowned.

   "Probably so." Ke Yue nodded, "I encountered it once when I was going to work last month, and the elevator door couldn't be opened for a long time."

  He Sirong said: "The elevators in the eight inpatient departments are often broken. It doesn't matter, it should be fine soon."

   Just then, the elevator suddenly moved again!

   However, this started without the slightest sign.

   It's just that the speed of this decline is a little unusual!

  The elevator did not stop after the 4th floor and kept descending.

   Stopped directly on the 3rd floor!

  Everyone felt that something was wrong.

  Lu Chen immediately pressed the lights on the 2nd and 1st floors.

   "Everyone, grab the handrail of the elevator, be careful that the elevator suddenly falls again." Lu Chen shouted.

   When everyone present heard the words, they immediately grabbed the handrail.

  He Sirong pressed the door to open the door, but the elevator door was still closed.

   "Don't press, the elevator must be broken." Lu Chen said solemnly.

   There is an emergency call button on the elevator.

   There is also a mobile phone number for emergency contact on the wall.

  Lu Chen immediately pressed the emergency call button.

   However, no one responded for a long time.

   At the same time, Jiang Qingyan on the side also took out her mobile phone and started to call the emergency number on the elevator.

   "No one will find us, right?" He Sirong frowned.

   She is not afraid of elevator failure. The floor is low now, even if it suddenly falls, it shouldn't matter much.

   is just a patient in bed, can he wait?

   He Sirong frowned and looked at the patient on the bed.

   Fortunately, the patient's state was not affected, but his breathing was a little short.

   At this time, Jiang Qingyan also got on the phone.

   "Hello, is this the elevator maintenance staff in the hospital?"

   "The elevator No. 3 of our eighth inpatient department suddenly stopped on the third floor, and the elevator door couldn't be opened."

   "Yes, there is someone in the elevator..."

   "Then please come here quickly!"

   Jiang Qingyan hung up the phone and looked around the crowd.

   "The logistics staff of the hospital elevator will be here soon."

   After hearing this, everyone calmed down a little.

  Lu Chen looked at the patient on the bed.

   On the bedside monitor, the vital signs were the same as before.

   The heart rate is relatively fast, about 110 beats/min, the blood oxygen saturation is 91%, the blood pressure is 91/54mmHg, and the respiration is 33 times/min.

   But Lu Chen noticed that the patient's health had dropped!

   From 54 to 51!

  Lu Chen frowned.

   Is this a normal progression of the disease?

   Or, the rapid deterioration of the condition?

   But no matter what kind of change, this patient should have a pericardiocentesis as soon as possible to relieve the symptoms of cardiac tamponade!

  Otherwise, the patient may suffer from cardiogenic shock or even sudden death at any time!

   In the elevator, several other people also understood the urgency of the matter.

   Especially He Sirong, she grabbed the guardrail of the hospital bed with both hands, stared at the patient without blinking, her fingertips were slightly white.

  Three minutes passed while everyone was waiting anxiously.

  Suddenly, there was a sound of knocking on the elevator door from outside the elevator.

   "Hello, is there anyone in the elevator?"

   "Someone! Someone!"

   Lu Chen responded immediately, and patted the elevator door lightly at the same time.

   The others in the elevator also chimed in.

   "We are the elevator logistics personnel, no one of you was injured, right?"

  The voice from outside the elevator came out again.

   Judging by the noise coming from outside the elevator, there should be four or five people.

  He Sirong shouted in response: "No, but there is a critically ill patient in the elevator, and you need to open the door as soon as possible!"

   It was quiet again outside the elevator.

   Everyone seems to be discussing something.

   At this time, Ke Yue asked in confusion: "What's going on? Did the elevator doors open every time the logistics staff came? Why didn't they open for a long time today?"

   When Lu Chen heard this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

   Most of the maintenance personnel outside here are in trouble.

   "Are there still people outside?"

  Lu Chen shouted outside again.

   After about ten seconds, the voice of the maintenance staff came in again.

   "We're still here, but you may have to wait for more than ten minutes. The elevator door can't be opened until we finish the inspection!"

   "More than ten minutes?"

  Lu Chen was shocked.

  It's a bit long!

   They don't really care, the big deal is that they go to dinner later.

   However, the patient can't wait so long!

   "Can you be faster? The patient in the elevator is very heavy and needs to be transferred to the CCU immediately!" Lu Chen emphasized again.

   "We'll try our best! But ten minutes as soon as possible!"

   He Sirong frowned and said solemnly: "Can't you open the door first, can you check it later?"

   "We want to, but we can't open it now!"

   After receiving the response from the outside logistics staff, Lu Chen's heart sank.

   He always pays attention to the condition of the patients in the hospital bed.

   Afraid of any changes in his condition!

   "I'll call Senior Sister Yin to report." He Sirong took out his mobile phone.

   "Let's talk to Senior Sister Guoguo too." Lu Chen looked at Jiang Qingyan and the two of them, "Let her wait for us on the first floor for a while."

   "Okay." Jiang Qingyan nodded.

  Lu Chen took out his mobile phone and called Sun Guoguo.

   "Huh? Are you trapped in the elevator?"

  Sun Guoguo had already gone down the first floor, she was wondering why the younger brothers and sisters were not there.

   "There is another patient with pericardial effusion in the elevator? Is it the one that Dr. Yin transferred to the CCU?"

   Got Lu Chen's affirmative reply, Sun Guoguo frowned.

   When she was handed over just now, she learned from Yin Xinhua's handover that the patient was critically ill.

   Already have some symptoms of pericardial tamponade, need to perform pericardiocentesis immediately!

  Thinking of this, Sun Guoguo immediately walked quickly to the third floor where the elevator stopped.
