Chapter 699 Body Donation (Part [-])
Lu Chen did not leave the emergency department immediately, but returned to the ward.

Things seem to have taken a turn for the better.

If the girl really had a puppy love and broke up, then the reason for her coma may come to the surface.

Lu Chen has encountered it before, and there have been many news reports about what to drink sleeping pills, pesticides and unknown psychotropic drugs.

"By the way, is there anyone else in your family?" Lu Chen said in a deep voice.

The woman is still in great grief.

Lu Chen yelled several times in a row before she came back to her senses.

"No, no one. This kind of thing happened at home, and everyone came to the hospital."

Lu Chen frowned, "Now tell one of your family members to go home immediately and go to the bedroom where your daughter passed out to see if there are any medicine bottles."

"Ah? Doctor...Doctor, you mean my daughter takes medicine?"

"This is just a guess, it's very possible!" Lu Chen said sternly, "According to the current inspection and laboratory results, I can't find the cause of the coma. Apart from taking medicine, I really can't think of other reasons."

If it is an overdose of sleeping pills, it can lead to deep coma, respiratory depression, cardiac arrest, etc., which cannot be detected by ordinary blood tests and CT.

"Okay, let the relatives here go back one now."

There seemed to be a tinge of color in the woman's eyes. She hurried into the emergency room and told a family member to go home and check to see if there were any empty medicine bottles or the like.

And Lu Chen did not leave for the time being, but returned to the emergency department.

Anyway, he has nothing else to do now.

……

In the emergency room.

Deputy Chief Physician Lu Zhifeng is communicating with the patient's family about the condition.

"Families should be mentally prepared. In the current situation, only drugs are used to maintain blood pressure and breathing. Once the drugs are withdrawn, the person may die." Lu Zhifeng said slowly, "If you want to continue the treatment, you may need to be transferred to the intensive care unit. ?"

The patient's father was an honest and fawning middle-aged man, his eyes were red, "Doctor, tell me the truth, what are the chances of my daughter waking up?"

"It's... hard to say." Lu Zhifeng shook his head slightly.

"Then... based on your experience, how about an estimate?" the man whispered.

Hearing this, Lu Zhifeng almost understood what the man meant.

Transferring to the intensive care unit, maintaining monitoring and rescue costs is not something an ordinary family can afford.

And in the end, it is very likely that there will be no people and no money.

For an ordinary family, when encountering this kind of thing, if you die to the end, it may not have a good ending.

Lu Zhifeng was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Actually, let me put it bluntly, your daughter's current situation can be diagnosed as brain death if it takes a little longer."

"Brain dead?" The man's face darkened. "That is to say, my daughter will become a vegetable in the future?"

Lu Zhifeng shook his head.

"Brain death is not a vegetative state, the two are different concepts."

A general vegetative state refers to a state that is similar to the survival phenomenon of plants under certain specific disease conditions.

And at this time, the vegetative person still retains some instinctive conditioned reflexes, and can also metabolize substances and energy, but his own cognitive function has been completely lost, which is an irreversible coma clinically.

Brain death means that brain function and brainstem function are damaged, which leads to brain death. For such people, they do not have spontaneous breathing and need to use a machine to help them breathe.

"Vegetative people can live for many years, after all, they don't need medicine and ventilator maintenance."

"However, for brain-dead patients, the shortest time is a few hours, two or three days, and the longest can only last ten days and a half months."

"What we can do now is to see the fate of patients."

When the man heard Lu Zhifeng's words, his expression was extremely gloomy.

Brain death, which undoubtedly has been diagnosed as clinical death.

It may be futile to continue the treatment.

Do you really want to cure it?
"Doctor, I'll discuss it with the child's mother." The man seemed choked up, "I'll give you an answer right away."

"Okay, let's discuss it as soon as possible." Lu Zhifeng said.

……

The patient's mother just had a glimmer of hope, so she asked her relatives to help her go home and take a look.

But after hearing the man's words, it was like a bolt from the blue, frozen in place, unable to move for a long time.

brain death? !

Her tears seemed to have dried up, and she couldn't cry anymore.

She ran to the hospital bed, stared closely at her daughter's appearance, stretched out her hand, tremblingly trying to touch her face, and then slowly withdrew her hand.

"Xiaoyu, can you hear what mother said?"

"Xiao Yu, mom won't criticize you anymore."

"Xiao Yu, just open your eyes and talk to mom..."

There was no hysterical shouting and crying, and the woman just squatted quietly beside the hospital bed, muttering something in her mouth, and her eyes had lost their luster.

Seeing this situation, the husband has no way to communicate with his wife about the next treatment plan.

He stepped forward, gently grabbed his wife's arm, and said slowly: "The doctor said that if you want to continue the treatment, then transfer to the intensive care unit."

The wife did not answer his words.

The man gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and continued: "Don't worry, as long as Xiao Yu is still alive, he will continue to deal with it!"

As he spoke, the man finally couldn't help it, and burst into tears.

At this time, the woman wiped away her tears, glanced at her husband, then slowly stood up and walked towards Lu Zhifeng.

……

Lu Chen had already returned to the emergency ward.

But he is a consulting doctor, so he can only wait silently on the sidelines.

When Lu Zhifeng talked about "brain death", he frowned slightly and didn't say much.

Judging from the patient's current state, he did not breathe spontaneously and was in a deep coma. At first glance, he did meet the diagnosis of brain death.

"Doctor Lu, what else do you need?" Lu Zhifeng asked suspiciously when he saw Lu Chen leaving and returning.

Ordinary consulting doctors, after writing their consultation opinions, wish to leave early. Who would stay in other people's departments? !

Lu Chen thought for a while, and finally expressed his thoughts, "Director Lu, I just heard from the patient's mother outside that the patient may have broken up with her recently."

"Huh?" Lu Zhifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, "And then?"

"I wonder if she is taking medicine at home..."

Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Zhifeng.

"Wait a minute, the patient's family members came to talk to me."

At this time, the patient's parents were walking towards Lu Zhifeng.

Seeing this, Lu Chen silently stood aside.

"Director Lu, we...we want to ask about body donation..."

As soon as the patient's father spoke, everyone was shocked.
