Chapter 282 Unrelieved pain, feeling of death

"Sudden severe pain all over your body?"

In the office, Xu Qiu looked through several examinations sent by Liu Susu and asked at the same time.

Liu Susu nodded solemnly and said: "After the examination, I took him to complete the hospitalization procedures, but before he was sent to the ward, his eye sockets began to bleed.

Immediately afterwards, the patient suddenly screamed and the pain was very severe! "

Xu Qiu stopped while flipping through the information.

Eyes bleeding?

This is most likely due to increased intracranial pressure.

But what about pain?

"Have you given any painkillers?" Xu Qiu asked.

Liu Susu: "I gave him the first and second grades, and also used some weak morphine, but it didn't seem to have much effect!"

"I gonna go see."

Xu Qiu stood up immediately.

The principle of using analgesics is from low to high.

Those that can be solved with first-level analgesics such as painkillers, ibuprofen, Fenbid, etc. are not allowed to go to second-level analgesics.

Level two drugs such as codeine and tramadol can suppress the pain without overstepping the level.

Luo Di's pain was so severe that level one and level two were completely ineffective. Whether the highest level three could be suppressed was still unknown.

…

Soon, Xu Qiu saw Luo Di in the ward.

At this moment, he looked completely different from before. His hair was messy, his whole face was red, and he was roaring in pain.

The sheets were scratched into disarray, and there were a few strands of plucked hair scattered on the floor.

Wang Fan, Zhou Hua and others were standing by to help, and it took several strong men to hold him down.

"Take strong morphine."

After briefly assessing the patient's condition, Xu Qiu directly gave him the highest level of analgesic.

However.

After using morphine, the patient's pain did not get much relief.

This made Xu Qiu a little confused.

This kind of systemic malignant pain generally only occurs in patients with tumor metastasis.

However, the examination confirmed that Luo Di didn't even have a tumor, so how could it have metastasized?

"Attempt to induce coma."

At present, the patient's pain has affected his consciousness and behavior. If it is not relieved, he may have to pull out all his hair.

Only the last resort can be used.

By inducing coma, the brain's own protective mechanism is activated to reduce the damage caused by severe pain.

However, Xu Qiu has another consideration.

While induced coma can indeed be used to relieve malignant pain, it has a more important purpose.

Protect undamaged brain cells!

If Xu Qiu's judgment was correct, Luo Di should be in the acute stage of the disease now.

At this time, his brain is likely to have lost its self-regulatory function and experienced a series of pathological changes.

If left unchecked, a brain that loses its regulatory function will be like a road with a paralyzed traffic control system, instantly causing chaos and even endangering undamaged brain tissue.

The damaged brain neurons are dead and can never regenerate.

Therefore, inducing coma in patients at this time can not only reduce the negative impact of pain, but more importantly, combined with low temperature, can significantly reduce the metabolic rate in the body, thereby protecting the brain.

…

Half an hour later, Luo Di completed the barbiturate coma treatment under the influence of sedatives.

Only then did Wang Fan and others let out a sigh of relief.

"It's finally quiet."

"The patient just now was as strong as an ox and three or four of us couldn't hold him down!"

"Doctor Xu, what's going on with him? He was fine when he was admitted to the hospital. Why did he suddenly become like this?"

The doctors looked at Xu Qiu.

They also looked at the patient's information.

High fever, abnormal excitement, and now also severe pain all over the body.

And not even the powerful analgesic morphine works!

After working in clinical practice for so many years, they really couldn't think of any disease that would behave like this.

Xu Qiu was also wondering at this time.

He was about to go back and check the literature again, but suddenly noticed the patient's heart rate.

After anesthesia, the normal range of heart rate is around 60 to 90 beats.

However, at this time, Luo Di's heart rate reached more than 130 times per minute.

This is definitely not normal.

Xu Qiu immediately said: "Check the electroencephalogram."

"Now...now?" the anesthesiologist was stunned for a moment.

Wang Fan ran directly to prepare, "No need to doubt what my brother Xu said!"

Soon, he was attaching metal electrodes to the patient's scalp.

Sizzling——

Didi didi——

In the quiet ward, the sound of electricity and the sound of instruments were intertwined.

Xu Qiu didn't move, and the others could only wait quietly.

Soon, brain activity waveforms were mapped.

Xu Qiu glanced at him and said, "He's still in pain."

The anesthesiologist's expression changed. He quickly came over to take a look, and his face instantly turned pale.

The electroencephalogram showed that even after being induced into a coma, Luo Di still felt severe pain!

"How can this be!"

"No, he's still hurting after all this?!"

Wang Fan and others were even more frightened.

Induced coma is almost the most extreme method that can be used clinically, and it can even cure cancer pain.

But at this time, it actually failed on Luo Di...

Unbelievable!

Everyone stared at Luo Di on the hospital bed, and suddenly felt a chill on their backs.

After being induced by barbiturates, the other party became as quiet as a corpse.

However, if it hadn't been for Xu Qiu's sudden extra electroencephalogram, no one would have known that he was suffering from extreme pain at this moment.

I just can’t speak!

At this moment, all the doctors felt shuddering.

Is death like this?

What about euthanasia?

Are those people speechless!

No one can answer this question, and no one knows what state Luo Di is in now, or what disease he has.

"Do another cerebrospinal fluid test!" Xu Qiu said immediately.

His intuition told him that the real culprit of the disease should be in the patient's brain.

Now is the onset of the disease, and perhaps the results will be different from the last time.

...

After returning to the office, Xu Qiu immediately consulted the literature.

High fever, abnormal excitement, severe pain that cannot be solved even by induced coma...

These symptoms combined together, Xu Qiu couldn't find a second case in the existing medical literature!

Could it be a rare disease that has never been discovered?

This possibility is too small, Xu Qiu shook his head and denied it.

He retrieved Luo Di's medical records again and checked them carefully.

This was not the first time Luo Di came to Linhai First Hospital. He had multiple medical records before.

Two months ago, when the seasons changed, he saw the ENT department and was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis.

Six months ago, he was examined in the respiratory department: allergic bronchial asthma.

In addition, there was an upper respiratory tract infection, urticaria, hemorrhoidectomy, circumcision...

From the medical records, Luo Di was at least a loyal patient of Linhai First Hospital.

"Allergy?"

Xu Qiu caught these words.

Luo Di seemed to be very sensitive to various allergens. In the past few years, there were many records of treatment for allergic rhinitis, asthma, and urticaria.

Can this thing be related to Luo Di's current condition?

Xu Qiu shook his head.

Death caused by allergies is not uncommon, but it is absolutely impossible to be so painful.

"Allergic rhinitis..."

Suddenly, Xu Qiu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have an idea.
