"250 ml of 5% sodium bicarbonate," Shi Lei said after glancing at Liu Banxia.
"Boss, what do we do next? Can we still get him to the operating room?" Liu Banxia asked with a furrowed brow.
"Highly unlikely. Clean the abdominal cavity as best as we can to locate all bleeders, then pack with gauze. Let's transfer him to the ICU first," Shi Lei said, shaking his head. "The patient's intestinal wound is too large, and there are too many bleeders in the abdominal cavity. I suspect sepsis. The blood culture hasn't come back yet, and he has acidosis."
"If we can't reverse the acidosis, even if we get him to the operating table, his chances of making it off are slim. Now that his body temperature has dropped so much, our only option is to transfer him to the ICU."
"Ah... even half an hour would have allowed us to deal with most of the situation," Liu Banxia sighed.
