Chapter 1875 ECMO and Artificial Lungs

In fact, many times eating barbecue is not about enjoying the delicious food, but about enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of having a drink with friends and talking and joking while making skewers.

Wu Hao and the others are usually very busy, and it is basically difficult for them to have the time and opportunity to sit together and have limited sex at midnight like this.

Wu Hao among them is responsible for the overall work. He needs to make decisions on many major matters in the company. In addition to company affairs, he also has to be responsible for technical matters, so the time he can spare is very limited.

Zhang Jun is his deputy in the company. Wu Hao basically makes decisions on many things in the company, and Zhang Jun takes charge of the real-time affairs. In addition, he is also responsible for the specific affairs of the company, so he

It may not be much easier than Wu Hao.

As for Zou Xiaodong, he has become a little more restrained now. He is still responsible for production work, crawling around and focusing on production. So he spends more than 200 days a year in various production factories outside. Many times

, Wu Hao and the others had time, but they couldn't find Zou Xiaodong and couldn't get together.

As for Yang Fan, he is responsible for related scientific research work. He has two work directions. One is responsible for the research work of related technologies in the company's core laboratory. The other job is to lead the related work of the company's technology research and development department and approve many scientific research projects.

He needs to make the determination.

As Zou Xiaodong said, they haven't come out to sit for a long time.

Eating barbecue beer in winter is definitely not as comfortable as drinking liquor, but few people can match Moutai with barbecue like they do.

Come, touch one, and congratulate the new version of our virtual world 2.0 on its successful global launch! Zhang Jun raised his glass and suggested to the three of them.

Cheers! Wu Hao and the others raised their glasses, clinked them together, and then took a deep sip.

Ah, tear...

Come on, come on, pick up the skewers, pick up the skewers~! Zou Xiaodong couldn’t wait to take the skewers and stuff them into his mouth.

Although this wine is smooth to drink, it is a 53-degree wine after all and is still relatively strong. So at this time, you need to eat something quickly to cushion your drink.

The barbecue here at Lao Ma all tastes pretty good, but Wu Hao’s favorite is the ribs, which are the most competitive.

After practicing a few more cigarettes, Zou Xiaodong took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Wu Hao and said, "Smoke one!"

Quit, quit! Wu Hao shook his head while holding the string.

Zou Xiaodong immediately handed the cigarette to Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun shook his head repeatedly: "I finally quit smoking. I won't smoke anymore."

Seeing Wu Hao and Zhang Jun like this, Zou Xiaodong put the cigarette to his mouth, lit it and took a deep breath. Then he said to the three of them: "I really don't understand you, why are you so harsh on yourself? Is it necessary? You say

Why do you earn so much money? It’s not just for spending it, you can’t just be a beggar guarding your golden mountain.”

Smoking is not a good thing. If you can't help it, then don't smoke. It will harm your health. Wu Hao persuaded with a smile after hearing this.

Zhang Jun clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I am not allowed by the doctor to smoke. I still want to live for a few more years."

Zou Xiaodong rolled his eyes at the two of them and said angrily: "I can't be bothered to pay attention to you. Anyway, I can't quit. At worst, I will get an artificial lung in the future. I remember that our artificial lung project has made significant progress. What are we afraid of?"

Seeing Zou Xiaodong's indifferent look, Wu Hao said to him: "No matter how good the artificial things are, they are not as good as the original ones. It is more comfortable to use original parts for this body. You don't want to put an instrument into your body, right?"

.”

It’s not that exaggerated. There are so many people who are old smokers, and few of them died immediately. It’s okay, if it really comes to that point, I admit it! Zou Xiaodong waved his hand, and then changed the subject to Wu Hao: "

By the way, how is the artificial lung project going? It can’t be more difficult than artificial eyes and hearts, right?”

You, please read more information when you have time, so as to improve your knowledge reserve. Wu Hao said helplessly, then shook his head and said: "The requirements of these technologies are different, and the difficulty is naturally different.

Artificial lung, also known as ECMO, has actually been developed a long time ago. It is an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation device. Its main principle is to take the patient's venous blood out of the body for oxygenation, and then inject the oxygenated blood back into the body.

, used to supply oxygen and temporarily replace cardiopulmonary function.

In other words, such an ECMO can completely replace the functions of human heart and lung organs, buy very precious time for critically ill patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, and play a great role in the fields of medical surgery and emergency care.

At present, this kind of ECMO equipment is expensive and scarce, with only a few hundred units in the country. Because of this, the hidden cost of using this kind of ECMO is also very expensive. It is said that it costs 70,000 yuan to start up, and it costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a day.

Money. Patients need hundreds of thousands of yuan to use it for a week, which is difficult for ordinary families to afford."

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Jun and others nodded. Although they are rich now, hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands is just drizzle to them. But they have also been poor, so they naturally know what hundreds of thousands means to ordinary families.

.

Therefore, a patient may lose an apartment in his hometown after using it for a week or two. This is a tragedy for ordinary patients and ordinary families.

So many times, when encountering such a thing, many families will give up using it and watch their loved ones pass away.

This is also the most helpless way. To put it bluntly, it is to exchange money for life. If you have money, you can extend your life. If you don't have money, you can only stop treatment. This is just such a reality.

What’s even more helpless is that even if such expensive ECMO is used, it can only extend life and may not really be able to save the life. The most sad and painful thing is that money is spent and people are lost. This is definitely a disaster for the patient’s family.

It was a double blow, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the family was destroyed.

Even though there are a series of medical security measures now in place, this kind of high-end medical equipment treatment is still not covered by the coverage. There is nothing you can do and the cost is too high.

There are still many patients who can survive on ECMO, but will be in critical condition or even lose their lives without ECMO. However, such an ECMO is expensive and rare in number. It is a public resource and no one has the right to monopolize it, not even the rich.

What's more, this kind of extracorporeal circulation is prone to infection and other problems if it lasts for a long time, and there are also a series of risks, so it is not recommended to use it for a long time.

So as early as when Wu Hao and others released the smart bionic artificial heart, related patients and people asked them when they would be able to produce an artificial lung.

There are many patients like this. Ever since Wu Hao and others released these medical products, they have received a large number of people's help messages every day on their various social platform accounts, including related hotlines, emails, company websites, etc.

There are all kinds.
