Chapter 916: The Fatty's Problem

Lu Chen has been very busy recently.

National Natural Science Project, the establishment of journals, and new tricuspid valve procedures are all being carried out vigorously.

After the publication of the Modern Cardiovascular Disease magazine of the Fifth Hospital of Shanghai, it did not attract much attention.

However, this case report written by Gu Xinyue has aroused discussions among many people in the cardiovascular industry.

This rare case can greatly broaden the horizons.

For some high-end industry insiders, it has a very obvious reference role.

It’s just that because it is a Chinese journal, it has not caused much waves internationally.

Lu Chen also wrote several small articles in succession about some of his past ideas and published them in the Modern Cardiovascular Disease magazine.

The content of these small articles is mostly a review of the field of cardiology.

The threshold for reviews is low, and the upper limit is also extremely high.

Ordinary review literature can only be watered down.

But the top reviews can be published in international top journals.

The several reviews written by Lu Chen are naturally high-quality masterpieces.

Other people in the Fifth Hospital of Shanghai also published papers in the Modern Cardiovascular Disease magazine.

Including Ke Yue, Fan Zhiping and others, Lu Chen, as the editor-in-chief, selected all high-quality ones.

The road to self-founding a journal seems particularly long and difficult.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

Lu Chen is full of hope for this.

…

In the ward.

Gu Xinyue is thinking hard at this time.

A fat patient just came, and his blood oxygen saturation always drops for unknown reasons.

He considered a series of diseases that may reduce blood oxygen saturation, such as heart failure and pulmonary embolism.

However, after the final analysis, the diagnosis was wrong.

"Hey, do I have to find Lu Chen again?"

Gu Xinyue didn't want to find Lu Chen in his heart.

If he came to Lu Chen for every difficult case, he might develop a dependent mentality.

It would have a bad impact on his future clinical diagnosis and treatment.

But if he didn't ask Lu Chen, he had no clue for the time being.

In desperation, Gu Xinyue could only find Jin Miao and Fan Zhiping.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.

The three of them together can always collide with some sparks.

However, the three of them discussed for most of the day.

Common diseases in the cardiology department were discussed.

The three of them still had no clue.

This worried Gu Xinyue to death.

"Why don't we ask Director Lu?" Jin Miao suggested.

He was open-minded and asked questions when he didn't understand, not to mention that it was Lu Chen who was willing to teach.

There would definitely be no problem.

Fan Zhiping also nodded on the side.

Recognizing his own shortcomings and seeking help in time is one of his greatest strengths.

Seeing that both of them said so, Gu Xinyue could only compromise.

He came to Lu Chen's office and pulled him out.

"Lu Chen, help me see a patient quickly."

Gu Xinyue paused.

He really wanted to know how Lu Chen would deal with this situation?

"Okay."

Lu Chen just dealt with the documents on hand and had nothing to do.

Gu Xinyue brought Lu Chen to the patient.

In the ward.

Lu Chen saw this patient for the first time.

The first impression Lu Chen had was that he was fat!

The patient weighs at least 200 kilograms.

Lying on the hospital bed with a bloated figure, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

The life value on his head is 64 (--) at this time!

This life value shows that the patient must have a problem, but it has not reached the red line of safety.

Gu Xinyue said: "Director Lu, the patient's medical history is very simple. He just felt weak and flustered during this period. He came to the hospital for a check-up. All blood tests and examinations were done. There was nothing wrong, but there was one thing, the patient's blood oxygen saturation was not stable, especially at night."

"Low blood oxygen saturation?" Lu Chen frowned, "Is there a problem with the lungs?"

"No, we did a lung CT and even took a CTA, and didn't find any problems."

Gu Xinyue took out all the patient's examination and test reports.

Lu Chen took them up and checked them one by one.

Except for high blood lipids and uric acid, the test indicators were all normal and negative.

"It's really strange!"

Lu Chen was quite curious.

This patient who doesn't seem to have any major problems may have a complicated condition!

"Let me see the patient first."

In addition to conducting a comprehensive physical examination of the patient.

After a series of heart and lung auscultation, Lu Chen still did not find any meaningful signs.

The patient showed only one abnormality in front of everyone.

That is, he is too fat!

Apart from this, there seems to be no other disease.

"Director Lu, you have to take a good look at me." The patient said to Lu Chen with tears in his eyes.

He has consulted many hospitals for this problem.

But it has never been solved.

"I heard that your cardiology department of the Fifth Hospital of Magic City can solve many difficult and complicated diseases, so I ran over."

The Fifth Hospital of Magic City has already had some reputation in Magic City.

In particular, some difficult and complicated diseases can be solved here by Lu Chen.

This time, Lu Chen's pressure is even greater.

The condition seems simple, but the diagnosis is not simple!

Although Lu Chen has systematic help, it is useless if he doesn't think of the diagnosis.

Just when Lu Chen was at a loss.

In the ward, the patient in another bed said something that caught Lu Chen's attention.

"Director Lu, he snores too loudly at night!"

In fact, severe snoring is a disease!

Especially if it sounds intermittent, don't be embarrassed to say it.

Snoring is like thunder, which is very harmful!

Lu Chen hurriedly said to Gu Xinyue beside him: "Have you done sleep breathing monitoring?"

"No." Gu Xinyue shook her head.

"Oh, how could we forget this?!"

Lu Chen slapped his head and first turned over the patient's previous blood oxygen saturation record.

The blood oxygen saturation is lower than that of normal people, and most of the time it is at night!

Under normal circumstances, most people do not snore when they sleep, or they snore very little.

The main reason for snoring is that there is a narrowing problem in the upper respiratory tract, which then blocks the airflow and causes snoring.

That is what we often call sleep apnea syndrome.

Now it is easy to understand why the patient's blood oxygen saturation decreases at night!

The airway is blocked, the oxygen is insufficient, and the blood oxygen must be low!

"Congratulations, the system upgrade completion rate has increased!"

The system prompt also proved that Lu Chen's guess was correct.

When Lu Chen told Gu Xinyue and others about his idea, everyone suddenly realized it.

After arranging sleep breathing monitoring for the patient, this was further confirmed!

Such a simple truth, but it made a group of "experts" rack their heads!

Even Lu Chen almost thought wrong.

Many times, clinicians always ignore simple diseases and think of some rare and difficult diagnoses instead.

This will lead to a dead end and get deeper and deeper!

"Brother Shen!"

"Yeah!"

When Shen Changqing walked on the road, he would say hello or nod to each other when he met someone familiar.

But no matter who it was.

Everyone had no extra expressions on their faces, as if they were indifferent to everything.

In this regard.

Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

You can say.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.

The Demon Suppression Division is very large.

Those who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people with the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

The Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian and the other is the Exorcist.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts from the lowest level of the Exorcist,

and then is promoted step by step, and finally has the hope of becoming a Guardian.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was an apprentice Exorcist in the Demon Suppression Division, and also the lowest level of the Exorcist.

Possess the memory of the predecessor.

He was also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take too long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places in the Demon Suppression Division that were full of murderous intent, this attic seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppression Division.

At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally someone went in and out.

Shen Changqing hesitated for a moment and then stepped in.

Entering the attic.

The environment changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with a faint smell of blood came to his face, which made him frown instinctively, but soon relaxed.

The bloody smell on everyone in the Demon Suppression Division was almost impossible to clean.
