Chapter 173: Chapter 120: Death from Hypokalemia and the Family’s Frenzy (Part 2)

"What’s the situation now?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked over and immediately asked in a deep voice.

"The orthopedic, neurosurgery, cardiac surgeons, and Director Zhou are in the operating room. Only two resident doctors and our four nurses are left, along with Dr. Xu from obstetrics and gynecology."

Nurse Chief Liu promptly gave Qin Feng a brief report on the situation to ensure he was aware of the current emergency status.

"Alright, quickly check the conditions in the resuscitation room and rearrange the observation beds to prevent a lack of beds for subsequent patients.

Notify the nurses to prepare all emergency medications, ready for immediate response!"

"Got it, I’ll arrange it right away."

Upon hearing this, Liu Juan immediately began organizing the nurses to get to work.

Beep~ Beep~

Just then, another ambulance stopped at the entrance.

"Gu Hai, come here!"

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng rushed over and shouted to an emergency resident doctor nearby.

Upon hearing the call, Nurse Chief Liu followed closely behind him.

The car door opened, and a stretcher was pushed out, followed by three or four family members besides the patient.

"What’s the situation?"

Qin Feng grabbed the stretcher and asked in a deep voice.

"I don’t know what happened; she just fainted out of the blue."

A man around fifty or sixty years old said anxiously.

"History of illnesses."

"Heart disease."

"Quickly, prepare for CPR!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked at Gu Hai and commanded, then immediately entered the resuscitation room.

"Mom! Mom!"

"How is she? What’s going on?!"

"What’s really happening?!"

"Dear! Dear!"

...

"This is the resuscitation room, please step out quickly!"

Several family members of the patient wanted to follow inside but were blocked by Nurse Chief Liu at the door.

"Can you hear me?"

After a brief physical examination, Qin Feng had all the monitoring equipment set up on the woman, and the situation immediately displayed.

The patient was currently unconscious, pupils dilated, and the equipment showed no heartbeat.

"Ventricular fibrillation, prepare 1mg of atropine, 1mg of epinephrine for IV push, blood gas analysis, Nurse Chief Liu, prepare for defibrillation."

Without any hesitation, Qin Feng looked at Gu Hai and said,

"You do it."

Gu Hai nodded and stepped forward.

"Hurry to prepare the medications."

Nurse Chief Liu handed the form to a nearby nurse, then brought the defibrillator.

"300J, first attempt, clear the bed."

Gu Hai picked up the defibrillator and delivered a strong shock.

The monitor still showed a flat line.

"360J, second attempt, clear the bed." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Once again, Gu Hai charged and delivered a forceful shock.

Still, there was no change...

"360J, third attempt, clear the bed."

Gu Hai charged again, pressed it on the woman’s chest, and released the current.

Bam!

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

Finally, the heartbeat returned, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a doctor from the testing department opened the door and walked in, saying to everyone, "Director Qin, Dr. Gu, the patient has severe hypokalemia, 1.5 mmol per liter."

After saying this, he began ushering the anxious family members out.

"Come on, step outside first."

"Doctor, how is my mom doing?"

"Doctor, what’s wrong with my wife? Can you tell us?"

....

There wasn’t much time to speak before the door closed again.

"Urgently replenish potassium, intravenous infusion, and closely monitor vital signs."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hai immediately spoke to Nurse Chief Liu.

Qin Feng nodded and turned to leave.

The quality of emergency doctors is indeed very high, all forced out of necessity.

Once the fluids were administered, the woman was wheeled out of the resuscitation room into a separate monitoring room, followed by three questioning family members.

Qin Feng made a round, came back, and walked in to look at Liu Juan.

"How’s the situation now?"

"Much better, the patient is starting to respond."

Liu Juan nodded and breathed slightly easier.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng nodded slightly and entered together.

"Nurse Chief Liu, are the test results out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Juan was momentarily stunned, then looked at Qin Feng with a slight frown.

"Oh no, I forgot."

After saying it, she immediately addressed the nurse beside her,

"Xiaoma, quick, draw blood samples for the patient’s potassium test."

...

Qin Feng watched as the patient had her blood drawn, feeling somewhat uneasy inside.

"Increase her infusion rate, add another 2mg of atropine."

"Okay, I’ll go now."

Upon hearing this, Nurse Chief Liu immediately turned to leave to prepare the medications.

Qin Feng also walked out, continuing to direct the emergency work.

"Doctor, doctor."

Liu Juan had just prepared the medication, ready to head to the ward when suddenly a man supporting another completely limp man staggered over.

"What’s going on?"

Seeing this, Liu Juan hurried over to assist the man and asked.

"I don’t know either; this guy got drunk and vomited all over my car. I don’t know where to take him."

After the driver spoke, he directly pushed the drunken man into her arms,

"Hey, I’m leaving him with you! I’m not dealing with it anymore, he’s your problem now."

"Hey, don’t leave! Help me out, will you...."

Liu Juan quickly called for help,

"Xiaowang, come help me!"

"Ugh~"

Just then, the drunken man in Liu Juan’s arms suddenly spewed foul-smelling vomit all over her.

Resident doctor Gu Hai also hurried over to help support the drunken man.

"Xiaowang, get a blanket and start a glucose infusion for him."

Though her nurse’s uniform was soaked in filth with an unbearable stench, Liu Juan remained unfazed and immediately instructed the young nurse before her,

"I’ve been vomited on, let me change clothes first."

After she finished speaking, she quickly ran towards the rest area.

At this point, the woman in the monitoring room suddenly appeared in distress, her facial features twisted, and she was shaking her head constantly.

"Mom, Mom, what’s wrong with you!"

The family members at the door saw this scene and rushed into the room, shouting loudly,

"Doctor! Doctor, come quickly! My mom is not okay!"
