Vol 2 Chapter 1875: ECMO and artificial lung

Popular recommendation:

In fact, many times eating barbecue is not to enjoy the delicious food, but to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of having a drink with friends, chatting and laughing between the skewers.

Wu Hao and the others are usually very busy. Basically, it is difficult to have such time and opportunity to sit together at such a midnight for a limited number of skewers.

Several of them, Wu Hao, are in charge of the overall work. Many important things in the company need him to make decisions. In addition to company affairs, he also has to be responsible for technical affairs, so the time he can spare is very limited.

As for Zhang Jun, he is his deputy in the company. Many things in the company are basically made by Wu Hao, and Zhang Jun will preside over the real time. In addition, he is also in charge of the specific affairs of the company, so he is not necessarily much easier than Wu Hao.

As for Zou Xiaodong, he has calmed down a bit now. He is still in charge of production, crawling around and focusing on production. So he spends almost 200 days a year in various production factories outside. Many times, Wu Hao and the others have time, but they can't find Zou Xiaodong, and they can't get together.

As for Yang Fan, he is in charge of related scientific research work. He has two work directions, one is responsible for the research work of the company's core laboratory related technologies. Another job is to lead the related work of the company's technology research and development department. He is required to confirm the approval of many scientific research projects.

As Zou Xiaodong said, they have not come out to sit for a long time.

Eating barbecue beer in winter is definitely not as comfortable as drinking liquor, but few people can use barbecue with Maotai like them.

Come, touch one, and congratulate us on the smooth global launch of the new version of Virtual World 2.0! Zhang Jun raised his glass and suggested to the three.

cheers! Wu Hao raised their wine glasses and touched one, then took a deep sip.

ah, tear...

Come, come, chug, chug~! Zou Xiaodong couldn't wait to stuff the skewer into his mouth.

Although this wine is very smooth to drink, it is still relatively strong because it is a 53-degree wine. So at this time, you need to quickly eat something to cushion yourself.

The barbecue here in Lao Ma is not bad, but Wu Hao's favorite is the slats, which are the most competitive.

After practicing for a few more skewers, Zou Xiaodong took out a pack of cigarettes, then handed one to Wu Hao and said, "Smoke one!"

Quit, quit! Wu Hao took the skewer and shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Zou Xiaodong handed the cigarette to Zhang Jun, who shook his head again and again: "It's hard to quit, I don't stick to it anymore."

[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】

Seeing Wu Hao and Zhang Jun doing this, Zou Xiaodong immediately put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it and took a deep breath. Then he said to the three of them, "I really don't understand you guys, why are you so harsh on yourself? Is it so necessary? You say Why do you earn so much money, isn't it spent, you can't be a beggar while guarding Jinshan."

Cigarettes are not a good thing. If you can't smoke, don't smoke. It will hurt your body. Wu Hao persuaded with a smile when he heard the words.

Zhang Jun clapped his hands and smiled and said, "I am a doctor who does not allow smoking. I want to live a few more years."

Zou Xiaodong rolled his eyes at the two of them and said angrily: "I'm too lazy to care about you, anyway, I can't quit. It's a big deal to change to an artificial lung in the future. I remember that our artificial lung project has not made significant progress, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing Zou Xiaodong's indifferent appearance, Wu Hao said to him: "No matter how good artificial things are, they are not as good as original ones. The parts on this body are more comfortable to use original ones. You don't want to put a piece of equipment in your body. ."

It's not so exaggerated, so many people are old smokers, and they die immediately after seeing a few. It's okay, it really got to that point, I admit! Zou Xiaodong waved his hand, then changed the subject at Wu Hao and said, "By the way, how is this artificial lung project going? It will not be more difficult than artificial eyes and hearts."

You, if you have time, take a look at the information, so as to improve your knowledge reserve. Wu Hao said helplessly, then shook his head and said, "The requirements of these technologies are different, and the difficulty is naturally different.

The artificial lung, also known as ECMO, has been developed a long time ago. This is an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation device. Its main principle is to lead the patient's venous blood out of the body for oxygenation, and then return the oxygenated blood to the body. , used for oxygen supply, temporary replacement of cardiopulmonary function.

That is to say, such an ECMO can completely replace the function of human heart and lung organs, can buy very precious time for critically ill patients with heart and lung diseases, and play a great role in the field of medical surgery and first aid.

At present, this kind of ECMO equipment is expensive and scarce, with only a few hundred units in the country. It is also because of this that the invisible cost of using this kind of ECMO is also very expensive. Patients need more than ten thousand yuan for one week, which is difficult for ordinary families to afford. "

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Jun and the others nodded. Although they are rich now, hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands are just drizzle to them~www.readwn.com~ But they were also poor, so they naturally know what hundreds of thousands mean to ordinary families.

Therefore, a patient may lose a suite in his hometown within a week or two. This is a tragedy for ordinary patients and ordinary families.

So many times, when encountering such a thing, many families will give up using it and watch their loved ones pass away.

This is also the most helpless way, to put it bluntly, is to exchange money for life. If you have money, you can continue your life. If you don't have money, you can only stop the treatment. That's the reality.

What is even more helpless is that even if such an expensive ECMO is used, it will only prolong life and may not really be able to save it. The saddest and most painful thing is that the money is spent and the people are gone. This is definitely a double blow for the patient's family. It can be said that the family is destroyed.

Even though there are a series of medical protection measures, the treatment of such high-end medical equipment is still not covered by the guarantee.

There are still many patients who are dying or even losing their lives relying on EO. But such an ECMO is expensive and scarce in quantity. It is a public resource, and no one has the right to monopolize it, not even the rich.

What's more, this kind of extracorporeal circulation is prone to problems such as infection after a long time, and there are also a series of risks, so it is not recommended to use it for a long time.

So as early as when Wu Hao and the others released the intelligent bionic artificial heart, some patients and the public asked them when they would be able to produce an artificial lung.

There are many patients like this. Since Wu Hao and the others released these medical products, every day under their various social platform accounts, including relevant hotlines, emails, company websites, etc., they will receive a large number of people asking for help. There are all kinds.
