Cheng Feng looked a bit surprised.
Gu Yi'an pursed her lips tightly, ignoring Lu Moran. She opened a disposable thoracentesis pack, put on sterile gloves, laid out a sterile drape, and checked the thoracentesis needle and syringe.
The patient's condition was critical. There was no time for anesthesia. She disinfected the skin directly and began the thoracentesis!
Gu Yi'an's expression was calm. She extended her left hand's index and middle fingers to stabilize the puncture site, then slowly inserted the thoracentesis needle with her right hand...
When the resistance from the needle tip disappeared, it indicated penetration. A slight pop was heard as the pleural cavity was punctured, success!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Next was the routine procedure—transfer the patient to the ambulance and head to the hospital.
"Doctor Gu, there's not much else to do here. Are you staying or going to the hospital with them?" Cheng Feng asked.
