That night, they won two "battles to save their lives"!

"Thank you! Director Pu, you saved two lives in our family! You are our family's savior!" In the early morning of November 14, such heartfelt thanks echoed in the office of Director Pu Qunwang of the General Surgery Department of the Hunan Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine) .

The patient's family member Mr. Ding held Director Pu Qunwang's hand tightly. When presenting the banner, his words were full of heartfelt gratitude to Director Pu Qunwang. Every word carried his family's respect and gratitude for Director Pu Qunwang.

Elderly man injured in accident and urgently needs medical treatment

It turned out that in late October, 82-year-old Grandpa Wang accidentally slipped while working and was accidentally pierced in the right buttocks by a bamboo cut on the roadside. However, the old man did not tell his family for fear of the cost. It was not until 5 hours later when he felt unbearable abdominal pain that he told his nephew Mr. Ding at home. After understanding the situation, Mr. Ding hurriedly took the old man to the local hospital for treatment.

After the local hospital completed CT and other related examinations, it was considered that the abdominal digestive tract was punctured and accompanied by diffuse peritonitis. Due to limited local treatment conditions, the elderly was transferred to the Hunan Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine) .

The director stepped forward in a critical moment

After receiving the call, Pu Qunwang, the director of general surgery, who had already finished work, rushed to the hospital from home. When he saw the old man, his stomach was as hard as a board, and there was a wound with a diameter of 3 cm on the right buttock. Digital examination found foreign objects such as bamboo pieces remaining in the wound, deep into the abdominal cavity.

The situation was critical, and Director Pu Qunwang acted decisively, informing the family that the patient urgently needed surgery. He also quickly organized general surgical medical staff to complete preoperative preparations and actively carry out fluid replacement, anti-inflammatory and shock correction treatments.

Emergency situations test first aid capabilities

When preparing to send Grandpa Wang to the operating room, Director Pu Qunwang once again explained the condition and surgical risks to the family in the office. During the conversation, Mr. Ding, who was resting on the sofa in the doctor's office, suddenly fell down and lost consciousness.

Director Pu Qunwang and another family member rushed forward to check and found that Mr. Ding had symptoms such as respiratory arrest, loss of pulse, and loss of heart sounds.

The experienced Director Pu Qunwang immediately realized that Mr. Ding had suffered cardiac arrest. He quickly hammered his precordial area and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, while calling the team to activate the emergency response system.

About 20 seconds later, Mr. Ding's heartbeat and consciousness recovered. The team then gave him further advanced life support treatment, and Mr. Ding eventually recovered.

The patient who underwent successful surgery is gradually getting better

After learning that Mr. Ding was fine, Director Pu Qunwang and his team of doctors immediately performed emergency surgery on Grandpa Wang. During the operation, exploration revealed a perforated injury to the buttocks, a ruptured and perforated descending colon, and diffuse fecal peritonitis. The perforated intestinal segment was resected, the abdominal cavity was cleaned, and a transverse colon fistula was performed.

After the operation, Grandpa Wang was transferred to the ICU for observation and treatment. At present, his condition has improved, the inflammation has been basically controlled, and he has been off the ventilator two days after the operation. Grandpa Wang's family was very satisfied and grateful, so there was the opening scene.

"The successful treatment of the two patients this time is a vivid manifestation of the collaboration, professional skills and quick response of the general surgical medical team." Director Pu Qunwang said: "After cardiac arrest, the patient will stop breathing and lose consciousness. If the patient is not actively rescued and the golden emergency time is delayed, he may be left with serious sequelae or even become a vegetable."

Therefore, Director Pu Qunwang reminded: "Once you find that someone around you has stopped breathing, lost consciousness and other symptoms, you should call 120 for help in time."
