Elder Meng struggled to get up by himself as nobody moved to assist him.
Doctors, nurses, Elder Academician Meng's spouse, and Dr. Liu Zhida immediately went to support Elder Meng, allowing him to rise slowly. A nurse swiftly placed a pillow behind his lower back because the change in position suddenly increased the heart's burden, causing Elder Meng to gasp for air incessantly.
The heart rate on the electrocardiogram monitoring screen also sped up significantly. Director Nan Yingshu closely observed the data, ready to intervene with rescue measures at any sign of anomaly.
Fortunately, there was only an increase in heart rate without any obvious arrhythmia.
"Increase the oxygen flow a bit," Director Nan instructed the nurse.
The nurse immediately increased the oxygen flow to cope with the recent increase in heart rate.
