Chapter 78 Artificial Hibernation
"Get moving, what are you staring at!"
Su Chen saw that these people were still not moving, so he shouted again.
Only then did those people snap to their senses and hurriedly began to act.
"Hurry up, get on the ambulance, to the hospital!" Du Sheng seemed to have glimpsed a sliver of hope, and after setting up an IV balance solution for the middle-aged woman, he shouted at Tang Mingji, "Mayor Tang, you all hurry onto the ambulance, we're going to the hospital!"
"Okay!"
Tang Mingji and Tang Yun also scrambled onto the ambulance in a flurry, and the medical staff quickly lifted the middle-aged woman onto the ambulance.
"Get moving, what are you staring at!"
Su Chen saw that these people were still not moving, so he shouted again.
Only then did those people snap to their senses and hurriedly began to act.
"Hurry up, get on the ambulance, to the hospital!" Du Sheng seemed to have glimpsed a sliver of hope, and after setting up an IV balance solution for the middle-aged woman, he shouted at Tang Mingji, "Mayor Tang, you all hurry onto the ambulance, we're going to the hospital!"
"Okay!"
Tang Mingji and Tang Yun also scrambled onto the ambulance in a flurry, and just as the driver was about to start the vehicle, Su Chen walked over:
"You get down, I'll drive!"
"How can this be? This..."
The driver hadn't finished speaking when Su Chen pulled open the door and yanked him out:
"Go to the back."
After saying that, Su Chen shut the door, and the driver had no choice but to run to the back.
"You're the driver, what are you doing here?"
Du Sheng saw the driver come up and asked in surprise.
"That young man wanted to drive, my words were not even out when he dragged me out," said the driver indignantly. "He's just savage!"
The others exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what this young man was up to.
"Dr. Du, what do you think of this young man? Can he save my wife?"
Tang Mingji asked anxiously, as he was completely ignorant about medicine and could only turn to Du Sheng for help.
"I don't know," Du Sheng shook his head, equally puzzled, "If you had asked me earlier, then I would definitely have said it was impossible, but now..."
"What about now?"
Tang Yun leaned forward, her heart inexplicably skipping a beat.
"Now it's hard to say, I'm a bit at a loss about this young man. Did you see the way he stopped the bleeding for the patient just now? It was simply astonishing!"
There was a look of wonder on Du Sheng's face; he still couldn't believe what had just happened.
"What was so astonishing?"
Although Tang Yun had been watching at the time, she hadn't noticed anything special, as she was completely unfamiliar with medicine.
"Just now, this young man took less than a minute to find the bleeding point and stop the bleeding," Du Sheng said, looking towards Tang Mingji and his daughter. "Do you know what that means?"
Tang Mingji and his daughter shook their heads blankly.
"Let me put it this way," Du Sheng continued, "Under those circumstances, even the best surgeons in the world would need at least about two minutes, and if I did it, with good luck, maybe three minutes. And when it comes to this, I am the fastest in Jiangnan, without any bragging."
Du Sheng simply couldn't figure out how the young man had managed it!
"Indeed, that's terrifying. I was completely stupefied just now; his speed was so fast, it was almost like a miracle!"
Du Sheng's assistant was also full of sighs, exclaiming in amazement!
Tang Mingji and his daughter exchanged a glance and finally understood why Du Sheng and those medical personnel were so shocked!
"So you're saying his medical skills are very exquisite, and he might be able to save my mother?"
Tang Yun suddenly saw hope again. Since his medical skills were so exquisite, it wasn't impossible to save her own mother!
"It's hard to say, although theoretically it seems unlikely, but medicine is different from other sciences. There's a saying in medicine that there's no absolute in medicine, which means anything is possible."
Du Sheng furrowed his eyebrows, he had also been thinking about what methods this young man could possibly have.
Just then, he suddenly thought of the zero-degree saline that the young man had asked him to prepare, and his mind exploded.
"I understand now, I finally understand," Du Sheng suddenly jumped up, rubbing his hands nonstop, "His guts are too big, to actually think of using that method, it's inconceivable, really inconceivable!"
"What method?" Tang Mingji and Tang Yun hurriedly grabbed Du Sheng, who suddenly seemed crazed.
"He must be thinking of using hypothermic treatment, also known as artificial hibernation, to snatch a period of time while waiting for blood to arrive."
Du Sheng, excited and gesturing wildly, explained to Tang Mingji and his daughter, and with great emotion he sighed,
"That's insanely bold!"
"What exactly is going on? Give me a clear explanation," Tang Yun said, feeling completely baffled by Du Sheng's words.
"That means injecting zero-degree saline into the bloodstream, causing a rapid cooling of all vital organs, reducing cellular activity, and reducing the oxygen requirements of the blood, thus alleviating permanent damage caused by ischemia and low blood pressure to the vital organs. At this point, the patient will be in a temporary vegetative state, which buys precious time for the rescue."
Du Sheng calmed his excited emotions and said to Tang Mingji and his daughter.
"So, there's hope for my mother?"
Tang Yun looked at Du Sheng with a hopeful face; she seemed to see a glimmer of light in the vast darkness.
"I've only seen this method by chance in the American Trauma Society's journals. I've never heard of anyone actually doing it in practice!"
"Because the biggest issue with this approach is that there is a limit to the human body's tolerance for cold. If it exceeds this limit, even for a minute, the patient can go from a temporary vegetative state to a permanent vegetative state."
"So this young man is really something, and crazy enough! Of course, this is also currently the only method that could save the patient."
Du Sheng took a deep breath and sighed,
"Being able to come up with and dare to use such a method, he's definitely a leading figure in the medical field! It's just that he's so young, it's unbelievable!"
"You guys are really lucky, if it weren't for this young man today, I can confidently say that your loved one would definitely not have been saved, but now there's at least some hope!"
"Yun'er, no matter whether this young man can save your mother today, we must thank him properly!"
Tang Mingji was also moved by the mercy of the heavens, and at the same time, he became curious about Su Chen.
Being so young and yet possessing such profound medical skills was extremely rare!
"Yes, I will definitely thank him properly."
Tang Yun nodded, praying silently in her heart for her mother's safety.
"Here we are, let's hurry and get out of the car."
Feeling the car come to a stop, Du Sheng's young assistant pointed out.
"Already?"
Du Sheng was stunned for a moment. How many minutes had it been?
Tang Mingji and his daughter were also surprised. Looking at the time, it had only been six minutes since the last part of their journey, and the speed had reached nearly 200 kilometers per hour.
In a developed metropolis like Jianghai, reaching a speed of 200 kilometers per hour is a staggering concept!
What kind of driving skill would that require? Probably not even the most badass driver could achieve that!
