Liu Banxia hadn't expected Han's condition to suddenly worsen, and it scared the living daylights out of people like Manager Qu.
Especially when they saw Han connected to machines, a tube inserted in his mouth, and even hooked up to an oxygen supply. In their minds, it seemed like Han was about to leave them.
"Heart rate 133, blood oxygen 86. His condition improved after oxygen was administered," Liang Xiaolin reported after connecting the oxygen.
"Contact CT for an urgent head and lung scan immediately. From my auscultation, it looks like a pulmonary embolism causing supraventricular tachycardia. Call Cardiovascular Surgery for a consult in the CT room," Liu Banxia said after his examination.
Upon hearing his words, the group rushed the gurney toward the CT room.
Pulmonary embolism is a high-mortality condition, often only discovered post-mortem. The most common cause is a venous thrombus from the lower limbs dislodging and traveling to the lungs.
