It is really unbearable to see ah” “Think of a way, as long as you can save the lives of migrant workers brothers into it!” “The rebar that pierced into the chest cavity was only millimeters away from the large blood vessels and nerves, a blessing in misfortune!” In the face of the call of life, they leave the risk to themselves and the benevolence to the patient. This is a race against death! This is more of a battle of wisdom and boldness! Migrant worker brothers nine floor construction unfortunately fell, more than 1 meter long rebar pierced through the chest cavity life-threatening! March 9, 9 a.m., 36-year-old Luoning migrant workers Sun Mou from the 9th floor construction site unfortunately fell, the ground more than 1 meter long rebar instantly pierced into the chest cavity of the young Sun, life-threatening. “This is an out-of-the-box resuscitation, all emergency channels in our hospital all make way for this migrant worker brother!” Physician said, “At that time in the emergency department to see the patient Xiao Sun, more than 1 meter long rebar head pierced through the chest, from the shoulder through, one end is still poking outside tightly stuck in his hip bone, that tragic, so that people present at the time were stunned! It is really unbearable to see ah!” “Open the green channel! All efforts to save our migrant workers brother!” The director of the hospital said that the 64-row spiral CT room pushed off the booking of patients to make way for our migrant worker brothers! In order to minimize the pain of Xiao Sun, doctors and nurses from the Emergency Department and the deputy chief physician of Cardiothoracic Surgery, who rushed to the hospital, carefully pushed his body, half of which was on the emergency flatbed and half of which was hanging under the car, into the 64-row spiral CT examination room. The problem is, due to more than 1 meter long steel bar half dead embedded in the chest cavity, one end also poked outside, so that Sun can not lie down into the CT machine examination hole, if the examination of the body position requirements, not only will make has fallen into a painful state of shock Sun pain aggravation, poking outside the rebar is very likely to be worth 12 million of CT machine touched the impact of the examination, how to do? “Think of a way! As long as we can save the lives of migrant workers brothers into!” CT room technician said, with years of experience in examining patients, Yang and Xiao Sun for patient communication, let him own leisurely strength, to help him slowly, a little turn, a little move …… Xiao Sun and rebar finally entered the scanning area. Emergency medicine, cardiothoracic surgery, CT room doctors and nurses are waiting in the CT examination room, staring at the CT machine display, CT film shows that the rebar from the small Sun’s right chest diagonally into the body, the rebar close to the right upper lungs, right subclavian arterial vein and right brachial plexus nerves, and then from the right shoulder through. “The slightest movement of the rebar will damage the aorta and important nerves, leading to Xiao Sun’s hemorrhage and paralysis of his right upper limb! Surgery must be performed immediately!” The operating room appointment for surgery is suspended to make way for Little Sun! The anesthesia and surgery department is ready and waiting in the operating room. In the operating room, another problem arose, due to the rebar stuck in the body, severe pain, Xiao Sun can hardly move, it is impossible to move him to the operating table. Director Qu broke the rule and risked his own life to intubate Sun on the emergency vehicle escorting him, and only after anesthesia was Sun able to be moved to the operating table to undergo surgery. As half of the 1-meter-long rebar was in Sun’s body, and a large part of it was poking outside, a surgical nurse was specially assigned to hold the rebar with her hand next to him, and the surgeon opened a 10-centimeter and 3-centimeter-diameter incision on the right side of Sun’s chest wall and pectoralis major muscle, respectively, to expose the rebar. Saw the steel bar into the chest cavity close to the right upper lung, the right subclavian artery and the right brachial plexus nerve, only millimeters away from the large blood vessels and nerves! It was a blessing in disguise! As the rebar was spiral, repeated injuries could occur during removal, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty and risk of the surgery. The bold and meticulous doctor took the way of exposing a little repair a little, step by step to explore whether the rebar caused damage to the subclavian arteries and veins and important structures in the chest, and to ensure that the brachial plexus nerves, pleura, the right upper lung and other organs are not subjected to secondary injuries when the rebar is extracted. Dr. Chu carefully adjusted the angle of the rebar first, paying attention to the large blood vessels and important nerves next to the extraction path, and according to the bleeding situation of the chest wound channel, commanded the doctor in charge of extracting the rebar under the operating table to closely cooperate, so as to control the angle and speed of the rebar exit. As the rebar in Xiaosun’s body was adhering to sediment and feathers from the lining of his down jacket, the doctor thoroughly rinsed and sterilized the chest wound several times to prevent postoperative infection. The slightest mistake in pulling out the rebar could damage the aorta and important nerves, causing the patient to hemorrhage and paralyze his right upper limb. Doctors used force to slowly pull out the rebar while putting in a drainage tube, and finally pulled the rebar out of Sun’s chest. Inside the operating room, time passed by the minute, on the operating table, the surgical team in careful treatment; outside the operating room, the patient’s family is eagerly awaiting …… The operation lasted one hour, and the rebar was successfully removed from Sun’s body, making the operation a complete success. He was then transferred to the intensive care unit for further treatment. As of this writing, Sun has been transferred to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery to continue treatment.
