The patient with sepsis still weighed heavily on Liu Banxia's mind. The next day, after breakfast, he returned to the emergency department's ICU.
"A new lung CT was done last night; the right lung is completely white," Su Hongbo said.
"It's progressing much faster than we anticipated. I just finished speaking with the family, and we've put the patient on an ECMO machine. Tell the lab to hurry up, isolate the infectious bacteria, and find a sensitive drug."
"Currently, there are signs of heart, liver, and kidney failure. Although we're trying our best to manage with medication, the effects aren't very pronounced."
Liu Banxia frowned. Even though this progression was somewhat expected, it was happening far too quickly.
"Thank you for your hard work. Do your best to maintain the patient's vital signs and buy us some more time," Liu Banxia said.
