In the early morning of April 5, a patient who was diagnosed with late-stage liver cirrhosis in 2017 suddenly became confused and accompanied by projectile vomiting. His blood pressure was 220mmHg/140mmHg, his neck was stiff, and his orbital depressor reflex disappeared. The situation was very critical... …
Because the patient was in a deep coma and his blood pressure was significantly elevated, it was necessary to exclude the factor of cerebrovascular accident. However, the patient’s family was worried that the patient was seriously ill and did not agree to undergo a brain CT examination. Without a head CT examination, the neurology department of another hospital refused to come to Anshan Infectious Disease Hospital for consultation. In this case, the patient's family planned to give up treatment and requested that the patient be carried back to his hometown alive.
Based on the principle of "doctors are kindhearted and save every precious life", Dr. Chen Siyu constantly communicates with the family members and does ideological work for his wife and son. He hopes that the family members can allow the patient to be rescued and treated in our hospital for 12 hours. If the condition does not improve, give up treatment.
After obtaining the consent of the patient's family, under the leadership of Director of the Fifth Department of Medicine Wang Zhenguang, the medical staff worked together to actively provide anti-coma treatment to the patient along with lowering blood pressure, colonic cleansing to acidify the intestines, oxygen inhalation, corrective ions and other treatments.
6 hours later, the patient gradually regained consciousness, fully recovered after 24 hours, and was clinically cured a week later. When discharged from the hospital, the patient and his family expressed their deep gratitude to the director of the fifth department of Anshan Infectious Disease Hospital and the medical staff. If it were not for the active rescue efforts of the medical staff and without giving up any hope, the patient would not have been able to recover and be discharged. It was the infectious disease hospital that gave him another life.
