Let¡¯s ask my brother, I can¡¯t rule out the anxiety that he feels as the doctor in charge of the child Zhu Xing. But it would be wrong to surmise that all his ideas were true.
Cao Zhao explained honestly to his younger brother: "I hope that the child will survive as much as you do. I am a pediatrician myself, how can I hope that a child will not survive."
It is indeed impossible for his second brother to want one child to live and curse the child to die. Therefore, what Cao Yong emphasized before was that he did not want his second brother to tread in muddy waters. Even though my second brother is a big devil who loves children, if he doesn't treat children well, he won't be able to be an excellent pediatrician.
It can be seen that Cao Zhao knew that Xiaoyu¡¯s parents might want to donate their child¡¯s organs, so he came to consult a specialist to get professional insights. After all, his patient was in the queue for organ recipient sorting, and 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 an organ transplant for their child so quickly, whether Dr. Fang Ze's judgment was professional enough, and whether he was suspected of deceiving the parents.
As a pediatrician, Cao Zhao does not want any child to be mistakenly diagnosed as brain dead and then sent for an organ transplant. Caring about another child has no conflict with his desire to save the child Zhu Xing in his hands.
¡°There are very few children¡¯s organ donors in our country.¡± Cao Zhao said that the actual statistical data made people feel that this matter was a bit abnormal. When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. As I said before, don¡¯t think about Shoeer putting up big posters to promote successful cases of pediatric organ transplants. There are so few child donors.
"You are right. Don't talk about China, there are fewer children than adult donors abroad." Cao Yong acknowledged the fact that his second brother said, and at the same time explained the reason from his own professional perspective and did not think there must be a demon, "For children The judgment of brain death has always been more cautious than that of adults. Children are judged to be brain dead more often than adults, and the interval between observations is longer. With such a strict judgment process, if you want to make problems casually, it is more difficult for children than for adults."
This involves a concept. The determination of brain death is not like the traditional one-time determination of death from cardiac and respiratory arrest, which 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 this child is brain dead, it is impossible to say that he can be determined to be dead quickly like other patients with cardiorespiratory arrest.
Why is there such a long observation period for brain death? First, we need to understand the concept of death. The criterion for determining human death is that the body's spontaneous breathing and heartbeat cannot be maintained. The word "autonomous" should be highlighted here.
Brain death is not a new definition of death, but is actually an extension of this definition. The machine assists in maintaining the patient's breathing and heartbeat. As soon as the machine is removed, the patient's heartbeat and breathing immediately cease, and the patient no longer has spontaneous breathing and heartbeat. How can such a person continue to live? He must be dead.
A different situation arises here: How do you determine that after the machine is removed, the patient must have stopped breathing spontaneously and the heartbeat has stopped irreversibly. After all, in clinical rescue, it is because when the patient's breathing and heartbeat stop, machine assistance is immediately provided. According to this statement, there is no need to use the machine during rescue.
