Big Doctor Live Room

Chapter 488 Catatonia

Both the young couple and the old Zhong could see that the situation was different. The two doctors whom they hoped for the most could not be interested in the patient's legs.

Old Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Chen Qun directly.

"Is this situation abnormal? Or is there a special situation?"

"How should I put it? It may be a good phenomenon, or it may be a more serious phenomenon. The limb stiffness of your child is called waxy flexion in medicine. It means that the joints will remain unchanged after being moved. It remains unchanged. This phenomenon only indicates a kind of disease called... catatonia. Qi Hong, should it be translated like this?"

In Chen Qun's last two sentences, he uttered a somewhat awkward English word before asking Qi Hong for advice.

"It's not wrong for you to say that. Dr. Zhong, this is a mental illness that can cause paralysis. But most importantly, this condition can be treated, and the difficulty of treatment is far lower than that of locked-in syndrome!"

Qi Hong energetically reported the happy news to the three family members in front of him. Perhaps this news could be said to be the best New Year gift for the young parents in front of him.

"Is this due to him hitting his head?"

Dr. Zhong, who is a rheumatologist who cures all kinds of diseases but always talks about rheumatism, asked a little puzzled.Anyway, he is different from the young and strong doctors in other departments. Their rheumatology department is actually a "trash can". Patients who are not wanted by all departments become their patients.

In other words, it would be more appropriate for them to call the Psychological Comfort Department.

He, a doctor who has been pissed off for many years, will not compete with the two favored men who are currently in the limelight. He just wants to find out the situation and understand how these two young people solve the problem.

Qi Hong looked over at Chen Qun, saw him nodding his head slightly, and then expressed his opinion.

"It's not actually related, of course, it's just a best-case assumption. Because catatonia is a very, very rare disease, it's almost as common as locked-in syndrome, maybe a little higher. The vast majority Hospitals will not conduct tests in this area on patients with such bruises. Because this is a matter for psychiatrists."

When Qi Hong said the last two sentences, she couldn't help squinting at Chen Qun, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Chen Qun is a real psychiatrist, of course he can also be called a psychiatrist. Yesterday, Little Apple published a couplet called "Psychiatry as a Psychiatrist", and once again asked for a couplet in women's clothing.

"Quickly, quickly, bring the various diagnostic scan results of your child to Dr. Chen and Dr. Qi, and let them see what the problem is."

As soon as Deputy Director Zhong heard that things had turned around, it was Qi Hong who said it, and Chen Qun did not object. He was at least eighty-nine percent right. He immediately went straight to the point and asked his relatives to take out the child's medical record.

Chen Qun immediately stopped this action.

"We trust the diagnosis and medical records from other places, because any test and diagnosis may be misdiagnosed or inaccurate. To judge whether this child has catatonia, I actually have a simpler method!"

Qi Hong's complexion changed suddenly, she looked over in surprise, and asked in a voiceless voice, "Are you really going to pull out his trachea?"

At this time, Chen Qun had already determined that the patient had a high probability of catatonia, although the system did not give an answer on the diagnosis panel, it was only because of insufficient data.Or, the system is also catatonic.

Chen Qun nodded vigorously, "Yes, if he is catatonic, then he doesn't need a ventilator, he can still breathe."

The child's parents tensed up.

"Wait a minute, if Xiao Ming is taken offline, will it be very dangerous? Director Qian of the Provincial People's Hospital said that he would die from lack of oxygen without a ventilator."

"Catonia only causes stiffness of the voluntary muscles, but the involuntary muscles are not affected. For example, the muscles that help us breathe are involuntary muscles, which are not controlled by our nerves. We only need to see if he can breathe on his own to be sure. Illness. As for your worries, it is unnecessary. His trachea was cut, and if necessary, we can connect the trachea immediately. There is no need for any examination yet."

Qi Hong patiently explained beside him, knowing that Chen Qun did this not to save money, but to make it more convenient.

This guy's thinking is so weird, everything starts from the simplest place.

Dr. Zhong immediately comforted the couple.

"Don't worry, there are instruments and equipment here to detect all the conditions on the child. As long as we don't exceed the critical point, there will be no danger. What's more, this kind of mental illness is also very difficult to detect with modern medical equipment. , which is why Dr. Chen believes in the diagnosis from other places."

Of course, for Dr. Zhong, there was still one thing left unsaid, even if the patient was in an endangered state, Chen Qun still had a way to save the patient.What's more, the situation is far from reaching that point.

"Okay, let's see the situation first!"

Qi Hong reached out and pressed the stop button on the control panel of the ventilator next to her, then gently reached out and removed the breathing tube inserted into the child's throat and trachea, leaving only a plastic tube opening on the throat.

"OK, oxygen saturation is dropping, it's 91%...87%..."

Seeing that Chen Qun and Qi Hong were clasping their hands in front of their bodies, staring at the monitor, Dr. Zhong began to frown, and hurriedly asked a question.

"In this case... it hasn't breathed automatically, right?"

Chen Qun nodded and said something popular.

"Not necessarily. As the partial pressure of carbon dioxide rises, his respiratory system will stimulate the nerve center and start mobilizing."

"Dr. Chen, it's 84%, the system started to raise an alarm. He's not breathing!!!"

The child's mother cried out in anxiety.

"Wait a little longer, until 60.00%!"

As soon as Chen Qun finished speaking, the boy lying flat on the bed suddenly straightened his body, took a deep breath, and his body began to breathe automatically.The blood oxygen saturation on the screen also rose to 80.00%.

"My God! My son's father, did you see that he is breathing by himself, he is breathing by himself, my son is not a vegetable!"

Chen Qun and Qi Hong also let out a long sigh of relief at this time, and they both saw the tension in each other's hearts.

Seeing the tacit understanding between these two young people, Dr. Zhong suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart.The doctor Qi Hong who was voted as the top ten beauties of Xiangyun Hospital in front of him was obviously flirting with this guy Chen Qun, so he was ready to spare.

But his medical skills are good, and his hands-on ability is even better than that of machines. Naturally, there are a lot of beautiful doctors and nurses as spare tires.This is simply the injustice of nature. For a moment, Dr. Zhong felt that he was not being sprinkled with dog food, but was sent directly to his door to be slaughtered by Chen Qun.

Don't say that you can meet such a beautiful colleague who cooperates with each other tacitly, even a big man who is three or five thick can't find it.He is already a good teammate if he doesn't hold back and doesn't shirk responsibility.

But he was a doctor after all, and he immediately asked the key questions that the relatives wanted to ask.

"Doctor Chen, what does this mean? The child is saved?!"

"Yes, next we need to find out the cause of the child's catatonia, and we need the cooperation of the parents and the teachers and classmates around him. So the two parents can wait until tomorrow to call and ask the teachers and classmates at the school. Do an online teleconsultation. Now it is better to send the child to the ward and settle down. After all, this kind of mental illness has been delayed for so long, and there is no rush for the next few days."
