- Chapter 498 - Emergency visit, mass poisoning
“The proportion of methemoglobin has reached 20%?!”
Qi Tiancheng felt dizzy after seeing such test results.
He had seen patients with nitrite poisoning, but he had never seen such a serious case.
“Qi Tiancheng, hurry up and go to the pharmacy to borrow methylene blue, as much as you can.”
“All patients, give high-flow oxygen inhalation immediately.”
“Contact the ICU and tell them that there will be patients with nitrite poisoning, and they will be sent here soon. Prepare rescue items.”
Xiao Chenguang took the test report handed over by the nurse, and after seeing the abnormal indicators on it, he immediately began to issue instructions.
The patient in front of him, who had a high fever and chills and whose fever could not be reduced by medication, was immediately sent to the ICU for treatment.
The remaining patient who had obvious wheezing and suffocation also had an oxygen cylinder pushed in and began oxygen therapy.
The rest of the patients who were still suffering from diarrhea and dry heaving were all prepared with oxygen. Regardless of whether the skin was cyanotic or not, the oxygen concentration should be increased to prevent hypoxia of the organs in the body.
After that, Xiao Chenguang thought for a while, picked up the phone, and prepared to call Dean Li.
After all, things like what is happening right now, according to the requirements of the future, can already constitute a public safety incident.
Although there is no rigid requirement now, just in case, it is still necessary to report to the superior department first.
But as soon as he pressed the number, his mobile phone rang immediately.
The caller was Dean Li.
“Xiao Xiao, quickly arrange people to go to Runmei Chemical. There has been a collective poisoning incident there. Someone has fallen into a coma in the dormitory. The superiors attach great importance to it. Don’t send anyone…”
Li Guoyong never said the last word.
He knew the difficulty of this task.
Collective poisoning.
This is the most difficult thing that the hospital has to deal with.
The toxin is unknown, the situation is unknown, and the personnel are unknown…
This will inevitably cause many problems for the medical staff who rushed to the rescue.
A little carelessness will cause irreparable losses.
But the task above is urgent, considering the seriousness of the situation, Dean Li, who received the order, can only pin his hopes on Xiao Chenguang.
At this moment, Xiao Chenguang’s voice came.
“Director Li, are you sure the poisoning site is Runmei Chemical?”
“What’s wrong?”
Li Guoyong on the phone was obviously stunned when he heard this.
“We just received several patients from Runmei Chemical in the emergency department. They were all suffering from food poisoning. We just reported the situation to the hospital.”
“How are they?” Li Guoyong seemed a little nervous on the phone after hearing this.
Fearing that the poisoning was too serious and there would be a fatal accident.
“One of them is in a very serious condition and is about to be transferred to the ICU. The other patients with serious conditions will be observed in the emergency room first. The doctors of digestion, respiration, cardiology, and neurology have all come for consultation.”
“Okay, let them take care of the patient, and I will rush to the emergency room immediately.”
With such a big thing happening, Li Guoyong will definitely not be able to sit at home.
No matter what the final result is, Shengli Hospital can only go all out this time.
“President Li, I’m going to Runmei Chemical right now. Qi Tiancheng is with me in the emergency department. I’m fine for now.”
“Contact the Department of Pharmacy first and ask them to prepare a large amount of methylene blue. This is the key!”
“Methylene blue, do you want it?”
Li Guoyong, who had dressed and was about to go out, paused when he heard Xiao Chenguang’s request.
“That’s right, methylene blue, as much as you can get. I suspect that this poisoning incident is related to nitrite, and methylene blue is the only effective antidote!”
“!!!”
Li Guoyong was shocked by the news on the phone.
As a doctor, he naturally knew the harm of nitrite.
Although this is an additive used in food, it can make food delicious, meat smooth, and prevent spoilage.
But once the intake is too large, more than 0.3g will cause obvious symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
If it exceeds 3g, it can directly lead to organ failure and death.
When Li Guoyong was still in the clinic, he encountered someone who accidentally mistook nitrite for edible salt.
Due to excessive intake, the family of four died before they could be rescued in the hospital.
“Xiao Xiao, are you sure it’s nitrite poisoning?”
Li Guoyong, who felt the seriousness of the matter, asked again.
“Ninety percent.”
Xiao Chenguang’s steady voice came from the phone.
“Okay, I’ll contact the director of the pharmacy department immediately and ask him to prepare a large amount of methylene blue. Even if the hospital doesn’t have it, I will ask the supplier to send it to the hospital immediately.”
Li Guoyong made a prompt decision and said.
“Okay.”
“These patients in the emergency department are also preparing to receive methylene blue treatment at this moment. Dean Li, please communicate with Qi Tiancheng about the specific effect.”
“I understand.”
Just after the call ended, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded at the emergency nurse station.
The nurse recorded the message and immediately ran to the observation room with a note.
“Director Xiao, Doctor Qi, prepare to see patients, multiple people are poisoned, location is Runmei Chemical.”
“I know.”
Xiao Chenguang turned his head and looked at Qi Tiancheng: “Tiancheng, these emergency patients are left to you, I will go see them.”
“If you have any questions, talk to Dean Li directly, don’t worry about other things.”
“Understood!”
Human lives are at stake, Qi Tiancheng nodded heavily.
With his ability, dealing with these emergency patients is already the limit.
As for the current situation of Runmei Chemical, it is simply beyond his current ability to solve.
“Nurse, go to the pharmacy and take all the remaining methylene blue. If anyone asks, just tell them what Director Li wants.”
The situation was urgent, and Xiao Chenguang didn’t care about the procedures. As long as he could save people, everything was a procedure.
Perhaps because Director Li had given a heads-up in advance, the nurse successfully took out all the methylene blue from the pharmacy.
A pile of small glass medicine bottles were tightly protected in her arms, and the azure liquid inside was shaking left and right.
She knew that this was a life-saving special medicine, so she was extra careful.
“Master, the location is Runmei Chemical, drive!”
Xiao Chenguang, who had already got into the car with the rescue box, saw the nurse arrive, pulled her, and then shouted to the driver.
“Okay!”
As the co-pilot door was slammed shut, the driver stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the roaring engine instantly burst out with powerful torque, and the ambulance rushed out like an arrow.
The front headlights burst out with dazzling light, like two sharp blades drawing a fan-shaped light curtain in front.
Ulla Ulla…
The alarm sounded again, spreading farther and farther in the silent night.
…
At the same time, Runmei Chemical was a different scene.
The quiet and dark chemical plant, peaceful outside, but brightly lit inside.
In the dormitory building, retching, groaning, and pain spread throughout the building.
The bathroom, at a glance, was full of shadows.
On the beds, weak employees were everywhere, half lying and half leaning, wailing with painful expressions.
