Chapter 404 Acute Radiation Disease [Request a Moon Ticket, Request a Subscription]

The night was dark, the lights were bright, and the roaring car sounded all over this man's sparse land.

The population of the Bay Area has been safely evacuated, and there are no residents and animals in the Quarantine Circle, and the plants here will be in the past. In the desert, trees are rare in many places, even in towns, but that's why every tree here is precious.

Tree cutters, excavators, bulldozers and other buses involved in Operation Separation Circle are heading towards the tree dots in the circle, respectively.

Desert North Command Center, the chief commander of the operation, Zhou Dajun, is a middle-aged man, he is a native of Desert North, watching the environment here become better over the years... “Do it!” By order of Zhou Dajun, the buses at different locations drove towards the trees of Fengchun branch leaves.

The squeaky saw-off sound, the squeaky banging sound...

One tree fell down and was taken away by the van, leaving no seedlings behind.

Meanwhile, the flames of the bear are burning everywhere, burning the weeds on the ground, burning the original colours of spring and burning everything alive.

In the night, they all turned into smoke and ashes.

The separation circle, the death belt, gradually and rapidly emerged, enclosing 30 square kilometres of the mutated area.

……

The medical department of the Asahi Sky Machinery Bureau has two surgeries to be performed in the surgical building.

The two patients were elderly Tian Fuhou and Inspector Yongyi, both right upper arm amputations.

They all used to poke their hands into the acacia trees, causing minor burns below their elbows, which were the result of intense nuclear radiation exposure.

For the human body to absorb radiation, 1Gy is approximately equal to 1Sv, and Sv (Schwarter) is a dose-equivalent unit that is the product of the absorbed dose, quality factors, and all other modifying factors at a point in the tissue studied.

In contrast, the dose equivalents received throughout the body were approximately 6.2 Sv and 4.5 Sv, respectively, but the maximum absorption in the right hand reached 1723 Sv and 1871 Sv, respectively.

There were two other patients, Senior Officer Zhang Maidong and Officer Ma Jingxing, with systemic dose equivalents of approximately 5.6 Sv and 4.2 Sv.

On the day of the incident, the acute radiation symptoms were worsening in four people, vomiting frequently and dizziness headaches. The medical team gave sedation, desensitization, and anti-radiation medication once it was determined that it was indeed a radiological disease. The situation of Zhang Maidong and Ma Renewal is temporarily under control.

But Tian Fuhou and Benyi, from noon onwards, felt severe pain in the skin of the right hand burn.

1723Sv and 1871Sv were there, and the disease progressed very rapidly. The burned skin first became redder, then the ulcer broke down, then the blood vessels inside bled, the tissue collapsed, the damaged cells were broken down, and the whole hand was no longer human.

Tian Fu was in so much pain that he lived his whole life and faced so much hardship. Even in those days when he couldn't eat and wear warmth, the elderly had never shed tears.

But now, old people cry and cry, purely because of great physical pain.

The 79-year-old was old, and such severe pain also caused his blood pressure to soar, difficulty breathing, impairment of all physical functions, and the risk of cerebral hemorrhage and cardiopulmonary failure. The medical team immediately injected the elderly with adequate amounts of morphine, but this had little effect on the suffering caused by nuclear radiation, while there were no special effects for radiation diseases.

Officer Benyi's condition is not going anywhere, even worse, as his dose equivalents are higher.

The painful cry also continues to ring in the nuclear radiation isolation ward where he lives, like the cry of a hell of a condemned man.

The situation deteriorated rapidly to the point where amputations could not be carried out, the enormous pain the patient could not tolerate, and the spread of radioactive material in the body.

If there were not some issues that needed to be clarified and at least more data supported, both surgeries would have been performed during the day. The most important question is whether the nuclear radiation in the mutated area is just nuclear radiation? Is this radiation disease? Can you do anesthesia during surgery? Can we even have surgery?

The surgical building was busy, and a medical team from the spell department arrived in the afternoon, and Wang Ruoxiang and Cai Zixuan were among them.

The two of them will participate in one operation to serve as three assistants.

In the face of this situation, they naturally remembered Gu Jun, but at this time in the pre-op meeting in the conference room, they and others were very focused.

The white coat staff of both surgeries were concentrated in the conference room, as were a number of specialist professors consulted.

“For now," said Professor Zhang Bohai, a generous middle-aged and elderly man standing in front of the conference screen.

Professor Zhang is the Director of the First Clinical Department of the National Centre for Medical Emergency Response to Nuclear Accidents, as well as a series of titles such as the Institute of Radiological Medicine and the Institute of Radiological Protection. This authoritative bull, who will lead the general medical staff, will cooperate with the astronomical agency in medical work such as hygiene prevention, nuclear and radiation emergency treatment in response to the incident.

“The symptoms of the two patients were no different from those of normal acute radiation damage, and the indicators did not have that kind of supernatural abnormality. We believe that surgery can be performed according to routine procedures and with total hemp.” Professor Zhang said, "The sooner the surgery is done, the better. ”

Everyone nodded. Without anesthesia, Mr. Tian Fuhou might not be able to survive, even if his will was strong, his blood pressure could not be sustained.

Wang Ruoxiang also nodded slightly. This was her first assignment after returning to the Ministry of Spells.

But it didn't occur to me that it was such a catastrophe.

One of the difficulties of both surgeries is that doctors and nurses are required to operate in heavy nuclear radiation protective clothing.

But Professor Zhang is no longer considering this issue. He will not have surgery. Yang Rongzhong, who is in charge of the main knife, and Tambo are the orthopedic cards of the Northwestern Medical Department. Together with the personnel seconded by the Ministry of Spells, everyone is ready to deal with the abnormal conditions that may arise during the surgery.

After deciding that the procedure should be performed according to the usual procedure, the two main knives decided on the procedure plan with their own team.

At the end of the meeting, a group of white coats rose to the operating room.

“Alas." Tsai Zixuan landed behind, still staring at the lesion picture of the patient's sick hand on the conference screen, sighing.

The right hand of the old man Tian Fuhou, also this one to be cut off, planted hundreds of acres of wasteland trees.

“Zixuan, don't be nervous.” Wang Ruoxiang patted an old classmate on the shoulder, "anyway, no radiation, no hair. ”

She's changed a lot in the last two years, and the only thing that hasn't changed is her hair.

“That's true.” Cai Zixuan smiled and touched his bald head, knowing that the class leader was kind to mediate the atmosphere.

The two men spoke and chased up to the crowd outside the conference room. It was midnight, but they still had two more battles in the operating room.
