The patient who had experienced the emergency suffered from severe intestinal disease, but suddenly developed severe breathing difficulties and an irregular heartbeat.
As soon as Yan Feifan began his examination, he noticed the patient's heartbeat sounded muddy, accompanied by severe murmurs. Knowing what to look for, Yan Feifan quickly performed a rapid ultrasound for confirmation. Sure enough, a large shadow appeared around the patient's pericardium.
There was a massive pericardial effusion.
Yan Feifan immediately performed a pericardiocentesis, extracting nearly three hundred milliliters of blood-red pus. Once the fluid was drained, the patient's breathing difficulties and abnormal heart rate were instantly and significantly alleviated.
With the emergency resolved, the patient could proceed step-by-step with pus analysis and further cardiac examinations. Yan Feifan wouldn't need to intervene in anything that followed.
