Chapter 816 - Chapter 816 【816】What I was originally worried about was her

Chapter 816: [(816)] What I was originally worried about was her Chapter 816: [(816)] What I was originally worried about was her Tao Zhijie was listening very carefully to the entire cardiac auscultation area.

Other doctors, seeing how meticulously he listened and ruling out the possibility that he was overly cautious by nature, which they knew he wasn’t, were thus convinced that something might indeed be wrong with the heart rate.

“Is the heart rate very low?” Tan Kelin asked, turning around.

“Around sixty beats per minute.” Tao Zhijie finally responded, indicating that there was a problem, which was why he had been listening to determine what it was.

A low blood sugar level usually results in a high heart rate. Huang Zhilei, who had assumed the junior female student had fainted due to not having dinner, halted in his tracks as he was about to go fetch a glucometer.

Some other doctors who had come to observe the situation upon hearing this went back to the anesthesiology office to summon additional help.

“Is Doctor Fu from cardiology around?”

“What’s the matter?” Chang Jiawei was the first to hear the question and turned around to respond. He thought to himself, perhaps as his old classmate had predicted, the tea seller girl who had just undergone surgery might have had a myocardial infarction. It was fortunate that both of them had not left, as the leaders had a meeting, so the doctors who remained at the hospital didn’t dare to leave, in case they were called back suddenly.

“Someone’s fainted, we’re not sure if it’s a cardiac arrest.”

“Who?”

“A medical student. Her last name is Xie.”

“Xie Wanying?” Chang Jiawei immediately thought of her, as she was the only medical student with that last name who had made a deep impression on him.

“Indeed, it is her.” Fu Xinheng, who had received the same news, said at the same time.

Looking back at his old friend, Chang Jiawei showed a trace of doubt on his face, “Did you know she was going to pass out?”

Xie Wanying hadn’t been injured or experienced anything out of the ordinary before fainting.

Fu Xinheng stood up, returning his gaze with one that said: you should know.

Through Fu Xinheng’s eyes, Chang Jiawei recalled that emergency case and clapped his palm, saying, “Really, I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it. Dr. Cao is probably the most worried about her. Last time during the emergency, I saw Cao Yong always with his hand behind her, seeming to be worried she might faint.”

Speaking, Chang Jiawei stood up with him to check on the patient, analyzing Xie Wanying’s condition at the time, “Highly focused attention, beyond ordinary, excessively tense nerves, once relaxed, unable to adjust. Was it vasovagal syncope? Cardioneurogenic syncope? Normal people occasionally have this, she would wake up on her own after resting, there shouldn’t be a big problem.”

The last sentence implied that Chang Jiawei was relatively optimistic about the situation.

To be more objective, such incidents do happen to medical students. Mainly because medical students are still students and can easily become too tense when dealing with the emergency resuscitation of patients. Therefore, it’s said that doctors become somewhat “desensitized” over time, which is necessary for their own protection as well as the patient’s. Overexertion is not good, as one might collapse before even saving the patient.

What the doctors were worried about now was whether Xie Wanying had experienced vasovagal syncope.

Chang Jiawei stopped in his tracks, facing his old classmate, he asked, “You stayed behind, not because you were worried about the tea-seller girl having a heart attack, but because you were afraid Xie Wanying might suddenly collapse, right?”

Even if a heart attack were imminent post-surgery, it would take some time. Nowadays, anesthetic techniques are very advanced, and there’s comprehensive monitoring of the patient during surgery and the recovery period, with all sorts of resuscitative medications on hand. Unless the patient already had poor heart health, immediate postoperative heart attacks are rare, given that surgeries go smoothly. Besides, the rate of postoperative heart attacks has always been very low. Instead, the probability of sudden death in normal individuals tends to be higher.

Fu Xinheng gave him another look that said: Isn’t that an obvious question?

The patient was now in sight.

Xie Wanying, who had been temporarily placed on a gurney, lay there with an oxygen mask over her face, showing no signs of waking.
