Chapter 264 Tetanus

Chapter 264 Tetanus

Qin Feng asked Li Xuewen and Zhao Ran to send the patient out, otherwise the camp would collapse and the patient would be covered up here.

The aftershocks of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake were as powerful as a 5-magnitude earthquake. Qin Feng helped push the patient out of the tent, and then rushed into the shaking tent again.

Store all the equipment and medicines in the tent in the corresponding boxes and cabinets, and seal them up.

The moment Qin Feng finished cleaning up and raised his head, the tent collapsed!

"Doctor Xiao Qin!"

"Doctor Qin!"

Li Xuewen and Zhao Ran exclaimed when they saw the tent collapsed.

Chen Peng on the other side heard the movement and quickly sent someone to rescue Qin Feng, but Qin Feng who was pulled out had fallen into a coma.

Li Xuewen hurriedly stepped forward to check, Qin Feng's body was only a little bruised and scratched on his arm, at the moment when the tent collapsed, Qin Feng should have caused it by protecting his head with his hands.

After taking out some medicine, Li Xuewen gave Qin Feng the medicine.

Looking at the well-placed medicines and equipment, Li Xuewen couldn't help sighing, he finally understood why Qin Feng rushed in.

He wanted to protect this batch of medicines and equipment. If Qin Feng hadn't sealed them up just now, at least half of these medicines and equipment would have been lost.

Undoubtedly, it will make the already scarce medical resources worse.

When Qin Feng woke up, it was already noon, but the sky was still gray.

Since the earthquake, the weather in the disaster area has not been sunny.

Qin Feng stood up and walked out of the camp. At this time, the aftershock had subsided, and everyone was dealing with the obstacles caused by the aftershock.

"Doctor Qin." The soldier on duty saluted with a military salute.

"Is Dr. Li in the operating room?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, yesterday's aftershocks caused many casualties. Both Dr. Li and Dr. Zhao's operating rooms have been busy since the aftershocks." The soldier replied.

Qin Feng nodded, and looked down at the blood-stained shirt. It was during the operation yesterday. It was too late to change the clothes and the patient's blood sprayed on his body. Qin Feng went to the logistics department to get two new clothes, and returned to the camp. After changing it, I went into the operating room.

Putting on a new isolation suit, Qin Feng stepped into the operating room.

Li Xuewen and Qian Yi were busy, and Li Xuewen kept reaching out to Qian Yi for medical equipment to stop bleeding and treat wounds for patients.

"The dressing for this wound would have been better with a little antibiotic."

Li Xuewen was sewing, when he heard a voice behind him, he turned his head a little unhappily.

Seeing Qin Feng smiling at him through the mask, Li Xuewen said in a bad mood: "You are awake, kid, what you did yesterday was really too negligent, have you ever thought that if the truss hits your head, you The brain will surely blossom."

"You don't know the importance of the brain to the human body, do you?"

Qin Feng still smiled and said: "Those medicines are the most important. If those medicines are lost, many patients will not be able to receive treatment. At least I'm fine now, right?"

"I really don't know what to say about you. You just happened to be here. After this operation is finished, you can come to the next operation." Li Xuewen said.

Qin Feng nodded and agreed.

The dressing covered the wound, Li Xuewen covered the gauze on it, fixed it, and pushed the patient out with Qian Yi.

It was time for Qian Yi to change shifts with Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran greeted Qin Feng when he came in.

The patient is pushed in, a middle-aged male, conscious.

"What's wrong with you?" Qin Feng asked.

"Doctor, I can't open my mouth to eat anymore, and it is very difficult to even open my mouth wide now." The patient said.

"It's hard to open your mouth?" Qin Feng checked and found that it was indeed as the patient said.

"Any other symptoms?"

"Yes, the neck is also stiff, and the head often hurts in the past few days. I thought it was a cold before, and it didn't help at all after taking cold medicine for two days." The patient said.

As soon as Qin Feng heard the stiff neck, he became vigilant. The combination of the inability to open his mouth and the stiff neck is a very serious situation.

"Is there any vomiting?" Qin Feng asked.

"No, I just have no appetite and can't eat anything," said the patient.

"Take his temperature." Qin Feng then went to the training room to use the testing equipment to test the patient's blood.

The patient's white blood cell count was normal, unlike a bacterial infection.

Qin Feng originally guessed that it was an intracranial infection. After all, an intracranial infection may invade the meninges. Inflammation of the meninges can lead to stiff neck, which is what the patient said.

But the white blood cells are normal, so it cannot be a bacterial infection. The judgment of bacterial infection is that the white blood cell count will increase significantly.

Qin Feng checked the patient's mouth again and found that the muscles around the patient's mouth were abnormally tense.

"You can relax a little bit, don't be nervous." Qin Feng comforted.

"Doctor, I'm already very relaxed." The patient wanted to cry without tears.

"Do you have any other medical history before?" Qin Feng asked.

"I have diabetes and have been taking medicine." The patient said.

Diabetes combined with difficulty opening the mouth, a stiff neck, and tense oral muscles.

"tetanus!"

Qin Feng suddenly realized that in the disaster area, many people who were rescued, including the soldiers who rescued the victims, would not care about the scratches on their bodies by those rust objects, and they would not even see a doctor.

But the incubation period of tetanus depends on the human body. Tetanus bacillus is an anaerobic bacterium, especially in the soil.

Those collapsed buildings and rust objects had close contact with the soil, which also led to the accumulation of a large number of tetanus bacteria in the collapsed buildings and rust objects.

Once these tetanus bacilli come into contact with human wounds, they multiply rapidly and cause disease.

"Do you have any wounds on your body? Are they scratched by sharp objects or rusty objects?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, a small hole was pierced in my foot a few days ago, and a bandage was put on it later. Could it be that I didn't deal with it right?" the patient said.

Qin Feng showed a wry smile. The wound was treated with a band-aid, but it should be an iron nail or a rusty one that pierced the wound, and the wound would have no effect.

Qin Feng took off the patient's shoes, tore off the bandage on the patient's foot, and saw that the wound had been filled with pus.

After breaking the pustules, Qin Feng began to treat the wound infection, using antibiotics, and then wrapping it with gauze to form a closed environment, so that the tetanus bacilli could not multiply rapidly.

"Zhao Ran, you go to contact Dr. Li and ask him to register this patient and take him away when the rescue helicopter arrives at night." Qin Feng said.

With the equipment in the operating room, Qin Feng couldn't completely deal with the tetanus bacillus, so he could only go to a regular hospital.

In addition, the tetanus bacilli will produce exotoxins, which will cause blood vessel and muscle spasms. The focus of treatment is to deal with these exotoxins. The most important drug is not available here in Qin Feng.

That is immunoglobulin. Qin Feng has never noticed the problem of tetanus before. If it weren't for this patient, Qin Feng might have ignored it.
