Chapter 864

"President Guo..." Xu Wei called Guo Xiang back, but found that she was still staring at the old man's feet.

"What's the matter?" Xu Wei asked.

"How did you get this injury?" Guo Xiang pointed to the scab of a small wound on the old man's calf.

"Well, I helped a friend move a few days ago. I was accidentally pierced by a nail on the furniture. I painted red potion when I came home. It's nothing. I didn't care about it." Said the aunt.

Several people looked at each other and said, "tetanus?!"

Think again, the old man's facial muscles are tense, unable to bite food and swallow. It's really a symptom of tetanus.

"Didn't you break the cold needle?" Asked Guo Xiang.

"I didn't fight. I didn't expect so much. I always bumped and had some small injuries in the past. Nothing happened..." the aunt said with a little annoyance. No one thought that such a small injury would get tetanus this time.

Tetanus is caused by the exotoxin produced by Clostridium tetanus invading the wound. Soil and rust are easy to be attached to Clostridium tetanus, so if you are injured outdoors, you are easy to be infected with tetanus.

Especially in deep and small wounds, Clostridium tetanus is particularly easy to reproduce.

Because Clostridium tetanus is anaerobic bacteria, what is anaerobic bacteria is that it is particularly easy to survive in an anaerobic environment and has strong reproductive ability.

Some open wounds are not so easy to get tetanus.

Small and deep wounds promote the growth of Clostridium tetanus because oxygen is not easy to enter.

So if there is a wound, it's best to wash it with hydrogen peroxide and then break the cold needle.

Otherwise, Clostridium tetanus will multiply rapidly, and then secrete exotoxins, mainly spasmodic toxins, which are absorbed into the spinal cord and brain stem, so as to enhance nerve excitability, tension and spasm of voluntary muscles.

The old man's inability to open his mouth and swallow is a spasm of thigh tension. If it is serious, respiratory muscle tension will lead to asphyxia.

During the discussion, the old man over there had a shortness of breath and the whole person twitched.

"Come on, get on the ventilator and enter the ICU!" Guo Xiang rushed over.

The old man was pushed into ICU, Guo Xiang and they began to rescue.

"Can it be diagnosed?" Xing Ming hesitated. Although all symptoms can be matched, Clostridium tetanus has not been found.

"It's too late to do bacterial culture. First suit the remedy to the case." Guo Xiang said.

In fact, the diagnosis of tetanus mainly depends on trauma and symptoms, because bacterial culture can not be cultivated sometimes.

There are mainly wounds and typical symptoms, namely muscle spasm and angular tension.

Angle bow is like a bow, but the whole person is back up, like a reverse bow. If you have seen the zombie film, you may think that some zombies in the film will twist their whole body into an incredible arc, which is a bit like that.

Now the treatment is mainly tetanus antitoxin and immunoglobulin.

In addition, a large number of sedatives and muscle relaxants are used to relax people's muscles.

The old man's respiratory muscles are too tense to breathe. The oxygen trachea can't be inserted. He can only cut the trachea and connect the ventilator directly to the trachea.

The aunt was scared to cry outside and fell to the ground with a frightening white face.

On the other hand, cut the wound on the old man's leg to restore the aerobic environment and prevent the continued reproduction of Clostridium tetanus.

After all this, the old man was still in a coma.

In the next few days, the situation was good and bad, and the muscle spasm was relieved to a certain extent, but perhaps because the old man was old and his organs had been damaged, the situation was not very good.

The old man's children also came back from other places.

Guo Xiang told them about the situation and stressed that this situation can only be in the ICU, and the cost is very high. If they are unwilling to treat, they can be transferred to another hospital.

Because this situation can not be improved in a few days, it may take ten to twenty days or even a month, and the cost may be tens of thousands of yuan. Tens of thousands of yuan is still a lot for ordinary families in this era.

Guo Xiang, this is a private hospital. She wants to make it clear. It's impossible to treat in vain without money.

And she can't guarantee that she will be cured. Now she's just alleviating symptoms, but it's not necessarily that the elderly can't be cured.

After discussing with his children, the old man decided to continue the treatment, and there was still hope.

Now people are still alive, can't you just pull out the tube and watch him die?

They can't.

The old couple had a little savings, and the children pooled some money to pay back the previous medical expenses, and then continue the treatment.

After nearly a month of treatment, the old man recovered, and the whole man was bony.

But it's lucky that people are still alive.

When he was discharged from the hospital, his children came to pick him up. Everyone was excited to tears. The old father really left the gate of hell.

"Fortunately, several children are filial. Otherwise, how can the old man be better?" Xing Ming lamented that their family was OK. If they were their own family, they wouldn't have this ability at all.

"Yes, so children's education is very important." Guo Xiang nodded.

In some families, whether a child or several children, the first thing they think of when they encounter such a thing is themselves. They feel that it is a waste for the elderly. Anyway, they can't live for a few years. Why spend that money.

Taking home is actually a dead end. They all know that someone still does it.

However, everyone has their own choice. It's understandable that Guo Xiang doesn't want to teach people how to be a man. It's all in their own decision.

What she wants to tell them is the truth and let them choose for themselves.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was December, and the weather was getting colder and colder. It was already below zero.

After an operation that day, Guo Xiang looked out of the window and found that it was snowing. He didn't know whether the two small groups were dressed enough.

The kindergarten is close to home, so the children go to school on foot. Ye Qian has never given birth and may not think of bringing clothes to the children. Guo Xiang decided to get off work earlier to pick up the children.

She drove the car and connected the child to the car. She was not afraid of cold when there was warm wind in the car.

Told Xu Wei to get off work first and drive to pick up the children.

When she got to the kindergarten, ye Qian had been waiting outside. It was cold and she stood outside stamping her feet.

"Yexi, come up!" Guo Xiang shouted. The child was too sincere. He didn't know to sit indoors first and wait for the child to come out.

Ye Qian saw that Guo Xiang was coming and hurried into the car, "sister Guo!"

"Why don't you wear gloves?" Guo Xiang asked, turning up the warm air a little.

"I didn't feel it when I came out. Now I find it very cold." Yexi breathed and rubbed her hands.

"Then go to the shop next to you and come out later. It's so cold." Guo Xiang said.

"It's all right. School will be over soon. I'm afraid the children won't see me out. I'm worried." Said Ye Qian.

Guo Xiang looked at her. The child had a strong sense of responsibility, so he gave her the child at ease.

"You'll be 22 years old after the new year. It's time to find someone?" Guo Xiang smiled at Ye Qian. "As old as you, all the sisters in your hometown have children."

Yexi blushed, "I'm not in a hurry!"
