Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

"Bang!"

The sailors closed the hatch heavily to make room for Lin Yuan to return to the cabin.

Then several people were sent to pull Meng Tao and Lieutenant Colonel Louis back to the command cabin.

"What happened? Who saved Lin Yuan?" Lieutenant Colonel Louis asked immediately.

"Could it be that Lin Yuan broke out again and successfully saved himself?" Meng Tao also asked.

"Just look at the screen yourself," Depp said.

The two looked up and saw on the screen several huge figures working in perfect harmony to push Lin Yuan to the door of the escape pod.

This is?

Narwhal?
"How could there be narwhals in such a deep sea?" Lieutenant Colonel Louis exclaimed.

The round body and long pointed horn told them that they were not mistaken, it was a narwhal.

"It's a narwhal, or the narwhal that cooperated with Lin Yuan to photograph before! They haven't left!" Meng Tao said excitedly.

Seeing the majestic narwhal in the lead, Meng Tao could already confirm that the group of narwhals that had cooperated with the filming before had returned.

A depth of 700 meters underwater is already a restricted area for many marine creatures.

Even a bowhead whale weighing 100 tons can only dive to a depth of about 500 meters.

However, narwhals are the diving kings of the Arctic Ocean. They often dive to a depth of 1500 meters when foraging and resting, and can even dive to a depth of 1800 meters in extreme cases.

In the field of diving, only the sperm whale, which can dive to a depth of 3000 meters, can surpass the narwhal.

The appearance of this group of narwhals that are friends with Lin Yuan is obviously good news.

In the picture, three narwhals are carrying Lin Yuan from three directions, two narwhals on the left and one on the right, and one narwhal below, carrying him to the door of the escape capsule.

"The narwhal is rescuing Lin Yuan!" Meng Tao shouted in surprise.

During the previous filming process, this group of narwhals had seen Lin Yuan going in and out of the hatch of the escape capsule many times.

The narwhal, which has a high IQ, has long remembered that this is the passage for humans to enter and exit this "big black fish".

So they very cleverly carried Lin Yuan to the door of the escape cabin.

The three narwhals coordinated their lifting movements very well, and their movements were very gentle and soft.

Lin Yuan was so weak at this time that he couldn't even hug the narwhal, so he could only carry him to the escape pod in this way.

"Open the hatch!" Lieutenant Colonel Louis ordered immediately.

At this time, Lin Yuan seemed unable to manually open the escape hatch and had to activate the automatic opening system.

The operator pressed the automatic opening button, and the escape hatch opened as the winch turned.

Seeing the outer hatch of the escape pod open, the narwhal immediately pushed Lin Yuan in, then swam to the side with its tail fin swinging, as if afraid that its body would block the hatch from closing.

"Close the hatch!" Lieutenant Colonel Louis continued to order.

The operator pressed the automatic shut-off switch and the water level in the tank began to drop rapidly.

Seeing that Lin Yuan had returned to the escape capsule, everyone immediately ran towards the escape capsule entrance.

"Have the doctor stand by at the escape hatch door and be prepared for rescue!" Lieutenant Colonel Louis gave orders while running.

After arriving at the escape hatch again, the drainage was basically completed.

"Bang!"

Lieutenant Colonel Louis immediately reached out and opened the hatch.

"Wow~"

There was still some seawater that had not been drained out, pouring into the passage through the open hatch, which showed that the door was opened a little too hastily.

But Lieutenant Colonel Louis and Meng Tao didn't care about that. They rushed to open the hatch and rushed into the escape capsule.

"Lin Yuan, are you okay?" Meng Tao squatted down and shouted.

Lin Yuan lay on the ground without saying a word or moving a muscle.

Seeing this scene, Meng Tao was anxious and didn't know what to do. He wanted to touch Lin Yuan, but he was worried that the wrong method would cause secondary harm.

"Coach Meng Tao, let Dr. Doby take a look." Lieutenant Colonel Louis said.

Meng Tao hurriedly made way, and the ship's doctor on the Virginia immediately stepped forward.

Dr. Dolby first quickly checked Lin Yuan's breathing and heartbeat, then reached out and pulled Lin Yuan's eyelids to check the condition of his pupils.

At the same time, the assistant was using scissors to cut open the left side of Lin Yuan's diving suit and trying to put a blood pressure monitor on his left arm. However, it was not easy to put on this pressure-resistant diving suit and it would take some time.

Dr. Dolby couldn't wait for the blood pressure test results to come out, and he was racing against death during the rescue.

Faced with Lin Yuan's unconscious condition at this time, he must come up with a rescue plan as soon as possible.

There may be some mistakes in the rush, but doing something is better than doing nothing.

"Mr. Lin Yuan still has signs of life, but his vital signs are very weak. His respiratory rate is 9 beats per minute and his heart rate is 23 beats per minute," said Dr. Dobie.

At this time, Dr. Dolby had no time to check Lin Yuan's injuries and could only pay attention to his vital signs first.

However, when this series of data came out, Lieutenant Colonel Louis' heart immediately sank.

Too dangerous!

Not to mention the breathing rate, which is far lower than normal, but it will not be fatal in a short time. However, a low heart rate is really worrying.

Under normal circumstances, the human heart rate is generally 60 to 100 beats per minute.

For athletes who exercise regularly and have strong cardiac blood transfusion function, the heart rate may be lower than 50 beats/minute, but usually not lower than 40 beats/minute.

But Lin Yuan's heart rate was only 23 beats per minute.

A low heart rate may be a sign that the heart's pumping function is declining, which may lead to insufficient blood flow to various parts of the body, which is a sign of overall bodily failure.

"Give me atropine and epinephrine, and prepare for pacing!" the doctor ordered.

The injection of these two drugs is a treatment method for low heart rate. If it is ineffective, you can only consider cooperating with cardiac pacing preparation.

At this time, the inspection conditions on the Virginia were quite limited, and there were no conditions for surgical rescue, so they could only try this method to see if it was effective.

Meng Tao, standing by, reached out and held the doctor back: "Don't worry, wait for the blood pressure test results before injecting the medicine."

Dr. Dolby: “What’s wrong?”

Dr. Dobie did not disregard Meng Tao's advice just because he was an outsider, but asked carefully.

Because during rescue, the information doctors have, especially about the injured person's past circumstances, is far less than that available to the person involved and their relatives and friends.

Meng Tao said, "Maybe the situation isn't as bad as you think. Lin Yuan's heart rate is usually only around 30 beats per minute."

Dr. Dubi was stunned when he heard Meng Tao's words.

He didn't expect that Lin Yuan's heart function seemed a little too strong?
If your heart rate is usually around 30, then a heart rate of 23 at this time does not seem particularly scary, at least it is not considered heart failure.

Lin Yuan’s regular physical examinations are all completed by a specialized medical team in a private hospital, and the outside world has no idea about his physical indicators.

Only Meng Tao, who has always been by Lin Yuan's side,
"Let's check the blood pressure first?" Meng Tao asked.

"Yes!" Dr. Dolby nodded.

At this time, the assistant beside him had already tied the blood pressure monitor to Lin Yuan's left arm and turned on the device.

Soon, the blood pressure test data came out.

"Systolic blood pressure is 96 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure is 73 mmHg," said the assistant.

After hearing this data, most of the worries in everyone's hearts immediately disappeared.

The so-called systolic blood pressure is high pressure, and the normal data is 90 mmHg to 120 mmHg.

Diastolic blood pressure is the standard, and the normal value is 60 mmHg to 80 mmHg.

Obviously, Lin Yuan's blood pressure was not abnormal.

That means his health is not as bad as imagined.

Just now on the screen, everyone clearly saw the electric arc hitting Lin Yuan's right chest.

Damage from electric shock, such as effects on the heart and respiratory system, occurs immediately.

If the patient does not die immediately, it means that the condition is not particularly serious and only requires follow-up observation and treatment.

Therefore, what both Dr. Dolby and Meng Tao were most concerned about was how serious the burns caused by the electric current were.

The black smoke coming out of Lin Yuan's body just now scared everyone.

If the burn is severe, it will inevitably lead to abnormal changes in blood pressure.

This change is mainly reflected in the fact that it is high at the beginning and low at the end.

Early in a burn, during the first few hours, blood pressure often rises abnormally.

Because severe burns can trigger a strong stress response, which leads to activation of the sympathetic nervous system, the release of large amounts of adrenaline and norepinephrine, causing the heart rate to increase and blood vessels to constrict, thereby leading to increased blood pressure.

At the same time, the severe pain of burns and the emotional tension of the injured person will further stimulate the increase in blood pressure.

In addition, in the early stages of burns, although body fluids begin to be lost, the stress response may temporarily mask the effects of hypovolemia and lead to increased blood pressure.

In the subsequent stages of the burn, that is, a few hours to a few days after the burn, blood pressure often begins to drop again.

Because severe burns can cause a large amount of body fluid to leak from blood vessels into tissue spaces, causing a decrease in blood volume, which in turn leads to hypotension and even shock.

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after burns may cause vasodilation and a decrease in blood pressure.

If burns cause multiple organ dysfunction (such as impaired heart or kidney function), blood pressure may also drop.

In short, if Lin Yuan suffered severe burns, his blood pressure should have risen abnormally at this time.

But now Lin Yuan's blood pressure is quite stable, which seems to prove that his burns are not serious?
And after that, it is necessary to monitor his blood pressure at all times to see if there is any abnormal drop.

At this time, the doctor and assistant had completely stripped off Lin Yuan's diving suit, and his injured right chest was exposed to everyone.

Seeing the wound on Lin Yuan’s right chest, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.

There were two obvious wounds on his right chest, three fingers apart.

The one above is the entrance where the electric current penetrated the skin. It is charred black with obvious signs of ablation. The wound is so dark and deep that it is impossible to tell how much internal damage has been caused.

The lower wound, where the current exited, had exploded, leaving a noticeable ulcer. The area covered by the two wounds was the size of a palm, visibly red and swollen, with several blisters and a small area of ​​charred tissue.

Seeing this, Dr. Dubi was incredulous. "Such severe burns, yet there's no abnormal blood pressure? How should this be treated? How serious is the internal damage?"

Just visually inspecting the external area is shocking, and we don’t know how much damage has been caused inside.

Electrical burns often lead to muscle necrosis, nerve damage, and even fractures in the victim.

If blood vessels are damaged, it can also cause blood clots or blood vessel rupture, leading to acute massive bleeding.

"I dare not do anything rash before I find out the situation clearly. Let's give him an IV first." Dr. Doby was really scared.

As a ship's doctor, Dr. Dubey was certainly not a highly skilled doctor.

Otherwise, he would have gone to a private hospital to earn a high salary. Who would want to earn hard-earned money in the dark?
However, Dr. Dolby was sure that even those highly skilled and famous doctors in large hospitals would be confused by Lin Yuan's condition at this moment.

Judging from the injury, it is really serious.

But the vital signs are quite stable.

This contradiction left Dr. Dubi at a loss as to what to do.

"Let's give him an IV first. At least it can stabilize the current situation. Then we can slowly consider how to deal with it." Dr. Dolby said after a moment of hesitation.

First, through infusion, glucose and various electrolytes are replenished into the body, which can prevent shock and maintain blood circulation.

At the same time, injecting a large amount of antibiotics can prevent bacterial infection of the wound and cause various complications.

Afterwards, consider debridement, removal of necrotic tissue, and skin grafting if necessary.

After hearing Dr. Dubi's suggestion of intravenous drip, Lieutenant Colonel Louis asked doubtfully, "Is this really okay?"

Dr. Dubi nodded helplessly. "That's all we can do. Let's get him to the infirmary first. It will be easier to administer fluids and clean the wound."

Seeing that everyone seemed very worried, Dr. Duby added, "The electric shock Mr. Lin Yuan received was a low-voltage burn, meaning a burn caused by a voltage below 1000 volts.

Although this type of low-voltage electrical burn usually causes severe local damage, it has little impact on the whole body.

Unlike high-voltage electrical burns, which are often accompanied by severe deep tissue damage and systemic complications."

After hearing Dr. Dubi's explanation, everyone present immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it doesn't cause multiple organ failure, it's fine. After all, the Virginia itself is still in danger. If Lin Yuan's condition worsens, there will really be no conditions for treatment.

So, under the command of Dr. Dolby, everyone carried Lin Yuan to the infirmary.

After arriving at the infirmary, Dr. Dolby drove everyone out, leaving only Meng Tao's own assistant in the infirmary.

After all, it would be very inconvenient to have a large group of people around during treatment. Leaving Meng Tao behind was also to have a witness in case of any accidents.

Dr. Dubey skillfully hooked up the IV and prepared to begin debridement.

There may not be expensive medical equipment inside the Virginia, but it is fully equipped with equipment for debridement.

Meng Tao looked at these gleaming debridement equipment and felt his scalp tingle:

Forceps used to pick up foreign matter or necrotic tissue.

Medical scissors for trimming dead tissue or dressings.

A scalpel used to remove dead tissue.

A curette used to scrape away dead or infected tissue.

Bone forceps used to remove necrotic bone tissue.

In addition, there are various equipment such as suction device, electric knife, sterile gloves, sterile gauze, saline, disinfectant, sutures, skin stapler, etc.

After his assistant completed the local anesthesia, Dr. Dubi used a knife to cut open the wound on Lin Yuan's right chest.

The place where the knife is cut is between the two openings caused by the electric shock, which is bound to be the hardest hit area.

As the scalpel made a 4-centimeter incision, Meng Tao suddenly noticed Lin Yuan's right hand tremble slightly. "Lin Yuan seems to be in pain. Did he not get enough anesthetic?"

"I have already injected enough anesthetic. I only dare to perform local anesthesia and not spinal anesthesia for fear of inducing respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest." The assistant said helplessly.

Anesthesia is risky, and anyone who has had surgery knows that before the operation, they must undergo a detailed assessment by an anesthesiologist, be informed of the risks, and sign a consent form for anesthesia surgery.

The risks of anesthesia mainly come from sudden accidents such as inducing respiratory arrest.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's heart rate was obviously lower, and they did not dare to give him spinal anesthesia.

Dr. Dolby waved the scalpel and cut open the muscle tissue on Lin Yuan's right chest layer by layer.

He must first determine the extent of the damage and further confirm whether the electrical burns have spread to the cataract.

The main internal organ in the right upper abdomen, below the right chest, is the liver. Injury there would be very troublesome.

But regardless of whether the liver was damaged or not, the Virginia did not have the conditions for treatment. At this moment, Dr. Dubey could not perform an abdominal laparotomy. All he could do was to confirm the damage and clean the wound.

He was a little puzzled. It seemed like the scalpel wasn't very sharp today. Why was it so difficult to cut?
"Give me a different scalpel," Dr. Dolby said.

The assistant immediately handed him a new scalpel.

Dr. Dubi took the scalpel and started cutting again, but he still felt awkward and stiff in his hands.

This is really strange. It seems that the scalpels on the Virginia have not been used for a long time and have become old?
I've never heard of scalpels aging?
Dr. Dolby didn't care about anything else and could only continue cutting Lin Yuan's right chest.

As Lin Yuan's muscles were cut open, the charred muscles appeared in front of everyone.

The current entered his right chest from the upper entrance, creating a circuit with a maximum depth of about 3 cm.

Seeing this result, Dr. Dubi felt relieved.

This means that there is a high probability that no internal organs are damaged.

So he began to cut the necrotic tissue visible to the naked eye.

Every time he cut, Meng Tao saw Lin Yuan's eyelashes tremble slightly.

Next, tweezers, scissors, curettes... these brutal tools came into play one after another.

Meng Tao felt again that Lin Yuan's hand seemed to be trembling slightly, but he was not completely sure whether he was seeing things.

After Dr. Dubi completely removed the necrotic tissue and cleaned the wound with saline, he sutured the skin.

Then they used medical gauze to wrap Lin Yuan's entire right chest to prevent bacteria from entering.

After doing all this, Dr. Duby and his assistant were sweating profusely.

Meng Tao asked, "Doctor, is everything done?"

Dr. Dolby said, "I've done everything I can. The rest is up to Mr. Lin Yuan himself. My suturing skills aren't very good, so there might be scars. I hope Mr. Lin Yuan won't mind when he wakes up."

"No, even if it leaves scars, he has the money to hire the best doctor to perform scar removal surgery." Meng Tao said.

"That's good. We need to closely monitor changes in vital signs. As long as Mr. Lin Yuan can wake up, that's fine." said Dr. Dolby.

"Okay, doctor, you have worked hard. Go and have a rest. I will stay here with Lin Yuan." Meng Tao said.

The entire debridement process lasted more than an hour, and Dr. Dubi had not eaten yet.

So Dr. Dubi nodded and said, "Then I'll go have dinner and be back soon."

"Go ahead, doctor. By the way, tell the people outside that Lin Yuan is not suitable to be disturbed now, so ask them not to come in for now." Meng Tao instructed.

After hearing what Meng Tao said, Dr. Dolby felt a little strange. Visiting Lin Yuan now would not have any impact.

But since Meng Tao had said so, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll say that."

After saying that, Dr. Dolby left the infirmary with his assistant and went to the restaurant to eat.

There was a noisy sound coming from outside the door. It was obviously the people guarding outside who were asking Dr. Dolby about Lin Yuan's condition with concern.

Meng Tao locked the door, turned to look at Lin Yuan on the bed and said, "Are you still pretending to be asleep? You must have woken up a long time ago."

Lin Yuan, who was lying on the hospital bed, immediately opened his eyes and said helplessly, "It hurts so much!"

"You are fine!" Meng Tao stepped forward happily.

"How can I be okay? I'm half dead." Lin Yuan said: "This time, it might be the most serious injury I've ever suffered since my debut."

Lin Yuan did not lie. From his appearance, it could be seen that he had suffered electrical burns.

However, the main damage he suffered was actually caused by the water pressure when he just got out of the cabin.

The damage caused by the electric shock prolonged his return to the cabin.

At the same time, the electric shock destroyed his liquid-filled diving suit and caused him to suffer greater water pressure damage.

In places that cannot be seen, many of his internal organs were squeezed by the water pressure, causing internal injuries.

Although the internal bleeding has stopped, recovery will take some time.

In addition, many bones in his body cracked under the water pressure.

It can be said that at this moment, Lin Yuan is like a porcelain doll with cracks all over its body.

If there is no external impact, it can slowly repair itself under the healing ability.

But if he were to suffer another strong impact, his injuries would probably become much more serious in an instant.

Meng Tao recognized the truth from Lin Yuan's words and asked, "What about your injuries? What further treatment do you need from Dr. Dobie?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "No, just let me lie down and recuperate. I have a strong physique and will be out of danger in a few days."

Seeing Lin Yuan's insistence, Meng Tao stopped making suggestions and changed the subject, asking, "Just now, when did you wake up? Why didn't you tell us when you woke up? You made us so worried."

Lin Yuan said: "I woke up when the doctor made the first cut."

It was indeed that knife, Meng Tao was sure that he had not seen it wrong.

"Is it because you didn't give enough anesthetic? Then why didn't you say it?" Meng Tao asked.

"My physique is a bit strange, and anesthetics have no effect on me." Lin Yuan said, "So after the first cut, I woke up in pain."

Health potions also have side effects. Poison has no effect on him, and the same goes for anesthetics.

"If I open my eyes, they will know that the anesthetic is ineffective, and I'm afraid Dr. Dobby won't dare to clean the wound." Lin Yuan said helplessly.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Meng Tao widened his eyes.

So you just endured so many blows?
Can you tolerate this? (End of this chapter)
