Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 113: The Challenge of Intubating an Extremely Low Bi

The next day.

8:10 in the morning.

Surgery anesthesia departnt doctor’s office.

This morning, Zhao Heng ca together with Xu Man Ni.

As for what happened last night, the author’s limited skill is not enough to describe even a fraction of its allure.

However, after last night, Xu Man Ni beca even more satisfied with Zhao Heng.

And Zhao Heng was also very satisfied with Xu Man Ni, extraordinarily so.

These days, Zhao Heng has been quite busy with work, so he arrived early.

"I bought so stead dumplings for you, eat a bit first, otherwise you’ll get too busy to eat later."

Zhao Heng was sitting at the desk turning on the computer when Xu Man Ni walked in carrying a bag of stead dumplings and set it on the desk, saying.

This tone, this deanor, is practically the standard image of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

"Mm, you have so too."

Zhao Heng nodded; he was already used to Xu Man Ni’s care.

"Mm."

Xu Man Ni pulled over a chair, sat down, ate a dumpling while gazing at Zhao Heng with a satisfied look.

"Sis, why are you looking at like that?"

Zhao Heng felt a bit uneasy under Xu Man Ni’s gaze and couldn’t help but ask.

"You said you have great stamina, I thought you were just bragging."

Xu Man Ni responded with a sweet smile.

"Cough, cough..."

Zhao Heng was drinking water and nearly choked when he heard Xu Man Ni’s comnt.

"Drink slowly, how did you even choke?"

Seeing this, Xu Man Ni quickly patted Zhao Heng’s back.

Zhao Heng is 25 this year, Xu Man Ni is exactly six years older than Zhao Heng, and for a woman, this age is her pri.

And Zhao Heng, at 25, is also full of energy.

This combination was like a spark igniting a fire, the intensity of an entire night’s passion goes without saying.

Luckily, Zhao Heng had undergone systematic endurance training; otherwise, he may not have been able to withstand it.

anwhile, the other doctors in the office, seeing the intimacy between Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni, all felt like they’d been force-fed dog food.

Alright, no need for breakfast, the dog food was filling enough.

After accompanying Zhao Heng for breakfast, Xu Man Ni also went off to her workload.

Seeing Xu Man Ni leave, Zhao Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But it’s all good, Zhao Heng got through this round.

Thinking about this, Zhao Heng rubbed his lower back and wondered if he should also take sothing to replenish strength.

Just then, nurse Tian Zhen from the surgery room walked in and said to Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, there’s a consultation at the neonatal departnt."

"Mm, got it."

Zhao Heng nodded and stood up.

Just after having breakfast, Zhao Heng was about to take a break when work ca so quickly.

Zhao Heng’s daily work is typically planned out, and he would have break tis between several surgeries involving anesthesia.

But now Zhao Heng’s proficiency is recognized by all the surgeons, gradually making his presence seem like that of a firefighter; whenever there’s a tricky problem, Zhao Heng is called for a consultation.

However, Zhao Heng was perplexed as to why the neonatal departnt summoned him.

Leaving the surgery room, after a while, Zhao Heng arrived at the neonatal departnt’s intensive care unit.

Seeing Zhao Heng arrive, Fang He, the attending doctor in the neonatal departnt, quickly walked over and said, "Dr. Zhao, finally you are here."

"Mm, what’s the situation?"

Zhao Heng nodded and asked.

At Eastern Hospital, Zhao Heng’s specialty areas of focus are anesthesia and postoperative recovery, along with handling and rescuing so critical ailnts, making his capacity to handle various situations quite extensive.

"Dr. Zhao, we have a newborn boy here, just one day old. When he was born, he aspirated amniotic fluid and now has a severe lung infection and respiratory distress, requiring intubation."

Fang He briefly explained the situation.

She wore black-rimd glasses, looking like a stern and strict female class teacher.

"Intubation? Isn’t this sothing your departnt’s doctors can handle?"

Hearing this, Zhao Heng was a bit surprised as intubation is usually a necessary skill for a doctor.

Especially in the neonatal departnt, cases of newborns with respiratory distress due to amniotic fluid aspiration or other reasons are common, all requiring intubation to assist with breathing.

"Dr. Zhao, if we could handle it, we wouldn’t call you. This newborn is special; he was born yesterday weighing only 1.5kg, and due to amniotic fluid aspiration, he now has severe airway edema."

Fang He replied helplessly.

Normal full-term newborns usually weigh between 2.5-4kg at birth. A birth weight below 2500g is considered low birth weight, and at 1.5kg, this is extrely low birth weight.

Newborns with such low birth weight often have congenital deficiencies, not having received enough nutrients in the womb due to various reasons.

Moreover, raising such newborns is more laborious compared to normal infants.

With such a small infant and airway edema, the intubation width is potentially as narrow as a chopstick, making intubation exceedingly difficult.

Plus, since the infant’s airway hasn’t fully developed, precision is crucial during the procedure to avoid damaging healthy tissue.

"For such a small infant, the difficulty of tracheal intubation is indeed very high."

Hearing Fang He’s words, Zhao Heng pondered montarily before speaking.

"Yes, but now we have to intubate; this infant’s respiratory distress is already very severe."

Fang He nodded, looking at Zhao Heng with eyes full of hope.

Tracheal intubation is a basic skill every anesthesiologist must have.

And now, as an outstanding anesthesiologist, Zhao Heng’s capability in this skill is certainly exceptional.

This is why Fang He called Zhao Heng for the consultation.

"Let’s go see the newborn first."

Zhao Heng contemplated for a mont, several sches for intubating this extrely low-weight newborn flashing through his mind. However, Zhao Heng needed to see the newborn to determine which plan to use.

It’s undeniable that the fusion of experience from Elder Huang has trendously enhanced Zhao Heng’s capability.

Especially Elder Huang’s lifelong dical practice experience, which is imnsely valuable.

dicine is a field heavily reliant on experience.

Many situations that patients present are unknowns unless encountered before.

"Mm, okay."

Seeing that Zhao Heng did not imdiately refuse, Fang He felt sowhat relieved and led Zhao Heng to the newborn’s bedside.
