Chapter 2506 【2506】Suspicion
Come to ask my brother, it doesn't rule out the existence of his anxiety as the doctor in charge of this child Zhu Xing. However, it would be wrong to speculate all his ideas in this way.
Cao Zhao explained honestly to his brother: "I hope that child will survive as much as you do. I am a pediatrician myself, how can I hope that some children will not survive."
It is really impossible for my second brother to want one child to live and curse the other to die. Therefore, what Cao Yong emphasized before is that he does not want his second brother to step into muddy water. Don't look at my second brother as a child king, if he treats children badly, he cannot be an excellent pediatrician.
It can be seen that Cao Zhao learned that Xiaoyu's parents might want to donate the child's organs, so he came to a specialist doctor for professional advice. After all, his patient entered the queue of organ recipients, so it was impossible to ask Fang Ze's doctor.
On the other hand, Cao Zhao was worried about why the child's parents wanted to seek the child's organ transplant so quickly, whether Dr. Fang Ze's judgment was professional enough, and whether he was suspected of fooling the parents.
As a pediatrician, Cao Zhao does not want a child to be misjudged as brain dead and then sent for an organ transplant. Caring for another child has nothing to do with his desire to save Zhu Xing, the sick child in his hands.
"There are very few children's organ donors in our country." Cao Zhao said that the statistical data in reality made people feel that this matter seemed a bit abnormal. When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. As I said before, don’t think about posting big posters in Seoul to promote successful cases of pediatric organ transplants. There are so few child donors.
"You're right. Don't say that in China, there are fewer donors for children than for adults abroad." Cao Yong admitted the fact that the second brother said, and at the same time explained the reason from his professional point of view. The judgment of brain death has always been more cautious than that of adults. Children judged brain death more times than adults, and the interval of observation was longer. With such a strict judgment process, it is more difficult for children than adults if you want to go wrong casually.”
A concept is involved here. Unlike the traditional one-time determination of cardiac arrest and death, the determination of brain death requires two or more times. This fully demonstrates that brain death requires a period of observation. It is equivalent to saying that if the doctor suspects that the child is brain dead, it is impossible to say that other patients with cardiorespiratory arrest can be judged to be dead quickly.
Why is there such a long observation period for brain death? First, we need to know the concept of death. The criterion for judging human death is that the human body's spontaneous breathing and heartbeat cannot be maintained at first. Here we must focus on underlining the two characters "autonomous".
Brain death is not a newly created definition of death, but actually an extension of this definition. The machine assists to maintain the patient's breathing and heartbeat. Once the machine is removed, the heartbeat and breathing immediately disappear, which is no longer part of spontaneous breathing and heartbeat. How can such a person continue to live, he must be dead.
There is a different situation here: how can you be sure that after the machine is removed, the patient must have spontaneous breathing and cardiac arrest and it is irreversible. After all, in the clinical rescue, it is because the patient is immediately assisted by a machine when his breathing and heartbeat stop. If you follow this statement, you don't need to use the machine during the rescue.
