The newspaper reported that “the heart stopped for 18 minutes can give to save over, is the doctor gave me a second life!” At 10:00 this morning, Zhao Yong, who is about to be discharged from the hospital, was particularly excited. Half a month ago, the 45-year-old had an acute heart attack in Dongzhimen Hospital while buying medicine for his mother, but thanks to the doctors’ best efforts to save him, he miraculously turned to safety. At 11:00 p.m. on August 23, Zhao Yong came to Dongzhimen Hospital to buy cold medicine for his mother. While passing through the emergency department, he suddenly fainted on the ground. “At that time, I also did not have my ID card on me, but the hospital immediately resuscitated me.” At that time, Dr. Li Yufeng of the hospital’s cardiology department happened to be passing by and heard that there was a suspected acute heart attack patient, and without saying a word, he participated in the resuscitation. ”I’m really grateful to Dr. Li, originally people off duty.” Zhao Yong said. Under the guidance of Dr. Li Yufeng, many doctors in the emergency department took turns to perform cardiac compressions for Zhao Yong. In such a life-and-death situation, time is life. Doctors from the cardiology department, who were undergoing a physical examination at Beihang Hospital, immediately took a taxi back to Dongzhimen Hospital after learning that the hospital had treated a patient with an acute heart attack. Zhao Yong’s attending physician Zhao Huaibing recalled that he and six colleagues, including the director of the cardiology department Wang Xian, rushed back to the hospital and found Zhao Yong lying on a bed in the emergency department’s resuscitation room, with loss of consciousness, pupils beginning to dilate, and no longer breathing on his own. “He had an acute heart attack, and his heart lost its pumping function, which stopped his heartbeat.” And under the rotating compressions of several doctors, Zhao Yong finally recovered his voluntary heart rate. For acute heart attack patients, whether they can get timely treatment means whether they can run away from death. Doctors first to Zhao Yong installed equipment to improve the blood supply to the heart, to buy time for the next rescue. At this time, under the contact of the police station, Zhao Yong’s wife and children were notified and rushed to the hospital one after another. ”I stood outside the resuscitation room, along the doorway watching the doctors were busy, so nervous that I could hear my heartbeat.” Zhao Yong’s wife recalled that the doctor told her that Zhao Yong must immediately operate to unblock the blood vessels. At 12 noon that day, Director Wang Xian and three other doctors could not eat and immediately performed the surgery for Zhao Yong. During the surgery, doctors found that the blockage in the anterior descending branch of Zhao Yong’s coronary artery was as high as 99%! It was a life-and-death situation, but happily, the surgery went well. Half an hour later, Zhao Yong was wheeled out of the operating room. ”Clinically speaking, as long as the brain is deprived of oxygen for 8 minutes, there will be damage to brain function.” Zhao Yong’s wife said that the doctor also told her after the operation that since Zhao Yong’s heart stopped beating for up to 18 minutes, it was highly likely to leave sequelae. At that time, she really didn’t expect her husband to miraculously turn around, which was inseparable from the efforts of all the doctors. After the operation, Zhao Yong was admitted to the CCU ward, and only on the third day did he fully wake up, “every day I felt that a different nurse was talking in my ear, and later I realized that this was also a kind of recovery”. 10 days later, Zhao Yong was finally transferred back to the general ward, “it was the doctors who gave me a second life! “
