Chapter 2467 [2467] Come to PICU

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. According to Zhang Desheng, Taotao's diagnosis was confirmed as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and chemotherapy was started. Unexpectedly, classmate Zhang, who hates pediatrics, will go to the hematology department to visit this child again and again these days. It is not ruled out that in addition to visiting the children, it is to help Xie to monitor the movements of Zhang's family.

Aunt Zhang would continue to show her face in the emergency department from time to time, but she didn't dare to go directly to Dr. Xie like last time. It is not easy to eliminate family members' psychological dependence on a doctor.

Compared with Taotao, Zhu Xing's child's condition is much more critical, and his condition has not been relieved well all the way. This situation is as expected by the attending physician. If a suitable heart cannot be found for a heart transplant, the child may not be able to get out of the hospital alive.

That afternoon, Cao Zhao took a group of students to the PICU to check on the children. Classmate Pan Shihua and Brother Luo took a leave of absence and came to meet with two surgical classmates to study rare cases.

Following the teachers put on sterilized slippers, several students officially stepped into the PICU ward for the first time.

PICU is not a NICU, the bed is the same size as a general pediatric ward, and it is not a common incubator in neonatology. Each hospital bed is almost a small emergency bed. Place a ventilator, a sputum suction machine and other equipment by the bedside. Serious children, as Xie said last time, will use cardiopulmonary aids. There is a curtain between the bed and the bed. Some children are intubated or tracheotomized just like adults. Every time a certain time comes, the nurses will **** sputum for these children.

Here, you can often see various life-sustaining machines connected to the small body of the child, making the sick child even more vulnerable and more worried than adults.

Every day, one hour of family visit time will be open in the interior corridor of the PICU. Family members can stand in the inner corridor and greet their sick children through the glass windows, and see the situation of the children with their own eyes.

Zhu Xing's mother stood in the family line, looking at her son lying on the hospital bed with a swollen face, tears were falling.

Systemic edema is a common manifestation of heart failure progressing to global heart failure.

Came to the doctor at the bedside to check the swelling on the child's body, and then checked the thermometer recorded by the nurse. Here is the total daily intake and output of the child's body for 24 hours.

Intensive care is a separate discipline, and doctors in the intensive care unit have their own specialties different from other specialists. Once these children enter the PICU, it is the responsibility of the PICU doctor. The treatment plan for the children here is basically determined by the PICU doctor. Even so, the doctor in the ward continues to treat the child's primary doctor during the hospitalization period. He will visit the child regularly, learn about the child's condition from the doctor in the PICU, and jointly negotiate the child's further treatment strategies. Because the children who are hospitalized in the PICU use the PICU as a transition period, and the goal is to be transferred back to the general ward or surgery.

Usually, when the ward doctor comes, the PICU doctor on duty will come over and discuss the child's condition together.

After a while, Xie Wanying and the others saw Senior Sister Yu coming over.

Yu Minghui raised her hands and smiled when she saw the younger brothers and sisters. When she saw Cao Zhao's face again, she felt a lot colder.

Several classmates remembered the last time they were taught by Teacher Cheng, and they didn't dare to come and go with Senior Sister.

Cao Zhao turned over the child's medical record with his fingertips, and saw that the child's medical record was much thicker.
