Chapter 127: Barium enema

Luo Yong's suggestion made everyone start to get busy. As the equipment in the photography room started to operate, the imaging results of the child's abdomen gradually appeared on the screen.

But when the image results came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"This, this is really the end of the ileum inserted into the colon." Kong Xiang looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

"Real or false." After hearing these remarks, Director Hao's face darkened, obviously not believing Kong Xiang's words.

"Director, come and see for yourself." In response to Director Hao's question, Kong Xiang turned the screen to him with a look of helplessness.

The entire image film appeared very clear under the influence of development. Director Hao frowned and looked at it carefully again, but he came to the same conclusion as Kong Xiang.

"It's really exactly the same." Director Hao looked surprised. Apparently he didn't expect Wu Xiangdong's diagnosis to be exactly the same.

At this time, even Luo Yong, who was silent on the side, had eyes full of wonder.

Wu Xiangdong had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, but he still said calmly: "Since it is confirmed that it is ileal-colonic intussusception, I am going to start pressurized ventilation."

Wu Xiangdong originally planned to take another X-ray to check the recovery of the patient's small intestine after the treatment. After all, doing so could reduce the radiation and cost of a single X-ray.

However, now that the film has been taken, in addition to dispelling their concerns, Wu Xiangdong can also give the child more precise treatment through the development results, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Wu Xiangdong picked up the empty needle on the side, removed the steel needle from the head and connected it to one end of the three-lumen catheter. Then he began to adjust the position of the catheter and gradually extended it to the colon.

At this time, everyone stared at Wu Xiangdong's operation with wide eyes. After all, for them, barium enema had only been seen in textbooks and had never been witnessed with their own eyes.

Wu Xiangdong was seen gradually injecting the air from the syringe into the child's colon. At this time, he could clearly feel the child's intra-abdominal pressure rising little by little.

Perhaps it was the discomfort caused by the flatulence that caused the child to start crying again. This time, even with the mother's comfort, it was difficult to calm down.

The sound of crying echoed in the studio, and the shrill and piercing shouts made everyone's eardrums buzz.

The child also tried to turn over, but due to the obstruction of the adults around him, he could only keep kicking the surrounding bed boards with his legs, making a squeaking sound.

"Wu Xiangdong, are you okay? I can't hold him down anymore." Although the patient is only two years old, an adult really can't hold him down when he gets restless.

At this time, Luo Yong and his family were two people, one was responsible for the upper body and the other was responsible for the lower body, but even so, it was still difficult to hold the child.

"This, this reaction is too big. Could it be intestinal perforation?" Director Hao was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

"If it is true that the intestine is perforated, then the barium sulfate solution injected will be a big problem." Kong Xiang said anxiously from the side.

As soon as these words came out, Director Hao suddenly broke into a cold sweat. You must know that barium sulfate solution, as the imaging agent for barium meals, is easy to excrete and difficult to be absorbed by the intestines.

However, once intestinal perforation occurs, barium sulfate solution that is insoluble in the intestine can easily penetrate the intestinal barrier and enter the abdominal cavity, causing a series of problems such as abdominal adhesion and infection.

"Quick, stop, the child has intestinal perforation, we can no longer give him an enema." Seeing the child's painful expression, Director Hao immediately ran over and was about to stop Wu Xiangdong.

"Don't move!"

At this time, Wu Xiangdong had already carried out the most critical operation. When he saw someone coming to cause trouble, he immediately let out an angry shout.

The sudden low roar startled everyone present, even the crying children stopped moving.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wu Xiangdong stepped up his operations and saw another tube of air being punched in by him.

Director Hao, who had reacted at this time, changed his face when he saw this Mu: "Wu Xiangdong, what's wrong with you?!"

"I already told you that my child's intestines are perforated. How dare you continue to pump air into it?"

Director Hao was very angry at this time. Faced with Wu Xiangdong's indifference, he felt that he was being ignored.

But just when he was about to get angry, he found that the child who had been restless suddenly calmed down, and what the child said next shocked him even more.

The child was seen crying and said aggrievedly: "Mom, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

"Bao'er, your stomach really doesn't hurt anymore?" Seeing the child's weak expression, the woman's tears began to fall.

"My stomach doesn't hurt anymore." The boy blinked and replied affirmatively.

Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the situation just now was too scary.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's okay." The woman wiped the sweat from her forehead and finally showed a long-lost smile.

But at this time, the boy who was attracting all the attention pointed behind him with his delicate fingers.

He said in a milky voice: "But Mom, my butt hurts a little now."

As soon as this statement came out, the woman was a little embarrassed, obviously she didn't know how to answer the child's current question.

Just when the woman was at a loss, a soft, magnetic voice sounded from the studio.

"It's okay, baby, don't be afraid, this is the doctor who is treating you."

"Just now you had a bug in your stomach, which is why you had a stomachache. Now that uncle has pulled out the bug, do you feel no pain anymore?"

The person speaking at this time was Wu Xiangdong. While he was talking to the little boy, he had already calmly taken out the three-lumen catheter from the child's colon.

The boy who felt the "bug" disappear looked at Wu Xiangdong with a surprised look on his face: "It doesn't hurt at all. Uncle, you are so awesome."

"Baby, you are very brave." Wu Xiangdong said as he opened the boy's shirt and found that the mass in his lower right abdomen had disappeared, which roughly meant that the child's intussusception had recovered.

Wu Xiangdong then pressed the child's belly again, and the symptoms of tenderness and rebound pain did not appear again.

"Okay, let's get ready to take another picture." After saying that, Wu Xiangdong had already taken off his gloves and turned his attention to Director Hao.

"This..." Director Hao had not yet come to his senses at this time, and seemed confused when faced with Wu Xiangdong's request.

"It's not what you said just now. The cause of the disease can be clarified only by auxiliary examinations. In this case, in order to prevent the child from having intestinal perforation, it is better for the director to take another X-ray of the child."

There seemed to be a bit of dissatisfaction in Wu Xiangdong's calm tone. After all, if he hadn't stopped him just now, Director Hao might have delayed his condition.

"I..." Director Hao's face turned red at this time, and he kept mouthing for a long time but no sound came out.
