Chapter 217: Supplies are in short supply

"Doctor Wu, we don't have that many towels in the emergency room!"

Zheng Hong, who had just returned from the nurse's station after making a phone call, saw that Wu Xiangdong was preparing to cool down the patients in the same way as before, but now she was facing a group of patients and the emergency supplies were not enough. Zheng Hong was very anxious now.

"It's okay if you don't have them. Wet the sheets and use them as towels. Our purpose is to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​their bodies to achieve a cooling effect." Wu Xiangdong said.

"Then I'll go to the quilt room and get some more sets of sheets." After Wu Xiangdong's reminder, Zheng Hong immediately ran towards the quilt room not far away.

Wu Xiangdong asked someone to go to the debridement room to find a half-meter-high blue plastic bucket, put a yellow garbage bag inside, and started to fill the tap with water.

Wow…

As the faucet is turned to its maximum, the water pressure is instantly released, causing a large amount of clean water to pour out like a waterfall.

In just a moment, the bucket was already half full.

At this time, Zheng Hong had already ran over from the quilt room with a thick pile of bed sheets in her arms.

"Come on, throw them all in!"

When Wu Xiangdong saw this, he directly took the sheets from Zheng Hong's hand and threw them all into the bucket.

In an instant, the water level had crossed the edge of the bucket and began to gurgling out.

"Don't worry about it. Wet it as much as possible, and then use a sheet for each patient. Except for the mouth and nose, other parts can be temporarily covered."

Wu Xiangdong fished out a heavy sheet from the bucket and unfolded it. With the sound of a large amount of water droplets hitting the ground, he found one of the patients and showed everyone how to cover the whole body correctly.

Under Wu Xiangdong's operation, the two-meter-long sheet quickly wrapped the patient. The cold sheet was more like a dog-skin plaster and clung to the patient's skin, allowing it to begin dissipating heat to the maximum extent.

Seeing this, everyone else followed suit and placed the sheets taken out of the bucket on the patient's body. For a moment, the entire emergency hall seemed to become cooler.

"It really works!" Seeing that the surrounding temperature had dropped, everyone was extremely excited when they saw this.

Seeing their cheers, only Wu Xiangdong knew that this form of cooling could only temporarily relieve the symptoms of heatstroke.

"Through the examination just now, the patient has basically been diagnosed with severe heat stroke, and may even have reached the standard of heat stroke."

"If you want to cool down quickly, you can only achieve the goal by injecting ice saline into the blood vessels."

Wu Xiangdong analyzed the situation at the scene. Different from the previous single cases, this kind of group heat stroke wanted to cool everyone down quickly. Fluid resuscitation and cooling with ice salt water were the preferred treatment options.

"Zheng Hong, you are responsible for establishing intravenous access for the patient. I will call the liquid library and ask them to send over the ice-cold saline that was just frozen."

At this time, Wu Xiangdong was very fortunate that the people at the liquid library helped him freeze a box of salt water in advance, otherwise it would have been too late if it had been frozen.

After hearing Wu Xiangdong's request, Zheng Hong immediately set off and began preparing to give the patient an injection.

Wu Xiangdong, who came to the nurse's station at this time, was about to pick up the phone, but found that the phone rang before him.

"Who knows how to find time?"

Wu Xiangdong muttered and picked up the phone. An anxious voice immediately came from inside.

"How is the emergency situation now? Are there any particularly urgent cases?"

"Chief Luo?"

The voice on the phone was very familiar, and Wu Xiangdong immediately recognized his voice as Luo Yong, the chief of the medical department.

"Wu Xiangdong?"

The other end of the phone also immediately recognized Wu Xiangdong's voice.

"I have been studying outside this morning. I just came back and heard that there are many patients coming to your emergency department. How are their conditions and what do I need to do?"

Luo Yong spoke very quickly, and he must have known that the situation was urgent, otherwise Zheng Hong, who had always been steady, would not have called them one by one for help.

"Indeed, the patients are all serious, and they are still under observation." Wu Xiangdong thought for a while, and then said: "Chief Luo, I do have something to trouble you now."

"you say!"

"Get me some vertical electric fans. These patients had very high temperatures when they came here. They suspected heat stroke and needed to use external force to cool down."

Wu Xiangdong was not polite and handed the question directly to Luo Yong.

After hearing this, Luo Yong was unambiguous and responded directly: "No problem, I'll have someone do it right away. I'll make sure that what you want is sent to the emergency room as quickly as possible."

Luo Yong picked up the phone, thought for a moment, then picked up the phone again and dialed a number.

At the same time, in the office of the equipment department factory, someone was leaning on the back of his seat, putting his legs on the table, eating watermelon comfortably and blowing on the fan.

The vertical fan clicked and shook its head in the corner, blowing the wind crazily, making the whole room cool.

The man spit out the watermelon seeds on the ground and said angrily: "How can this damn weather be so hot? If I hadn't been prepared today, I wouldn't have been so hot that I couldn't sleep."

After eating and drinking, he was just about to take a nap on the chair for a while when the desk phone on the table suddenly rang, instantly making him sleepless.

"Who are you? I didn't know that everyone has to rest at noon." The man looked dissatisfied and still leaned on the chair, unwilling to reach out to answer the phone even though it kept ringing.

Originally, he planned to hang up if no one answered the phone after two rings, but the call ended endlessly and kept ringing until the disturbing man became upset and reluctantly raised the phone.

"Hey, who's there? I don't know, the equipment department is off work now. Don't call me anymore. If you really have something to do, wait until you get to work." The man said dissatisfied.

This obviously emotional call made Luo Yong on the other end of the phone look stunned, and then he was filled with anger.

Life and death were at stake here, and he had to wait until work to save patients. Wouldn't it mean that the day lilies were all cold?

"I am Luo Yong. The emergency department is in urgent need of five vertical fans to cool down patients."

"Who are you? Even if the equipment department is not at work at noon, there should be staff on duty. Otherwise, if life-saving equipment is needed at noon or night, is it possible that the patient can wait until you go to work the next day before rescuing the patient?"

Luo Yong's stern voice was clearly transmitted through the microphone, and even the receiver seemed to be shaking out of anger.

"Chief Luo?" The man trembled in fright at the sudden shout. He quickly retracted his legs from the table, but due to excessive force, his whole body fell backwards uncontrollably.

With a bang, he fell directly onto his back. The pain from his back made him scream in agony, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

But at this time, the other end of the phone urgently needed his answer. The man could only get up from the ground in embarrassment, took the phone and said quickly: "Chief Luo, you are in such a hurry, where can I find it for you at this noon?"

Want an electric fan?”

"How can your equipment department not have electric fans?" Luo Yong didn't believe his nonsense at all, and said bluntly: "You have ten minutes to send the things to the emergency room, or you can wait for your superiors to find you."
