Around nine o'clock, at the peak of alertness and busyness in the emergency department,
they had just finished dealing with the inpatients when they received a call from the emergency service dispatch, advising them to prepare for resuscitation. They were sending over a woman who attempted suicide with sleeping pills.
Chen Cang's heart tensed up once again!
Chen Cang asked urgently, "How long ago?"
The emergency center responded, "At most five hours. The woman's mother found her already unconscious, and her body was covered in wounds."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang hurriedly arranged for the dialysis room. For patients poisoned by sleeping pills usually found within six to twelve hours of ingestion, it is essential to perform gastric lavage immediately before the drugs are fully absorbed.
However, for those already in a coma and with anuria, it was critical to prepare for dialysis right away.
