'come on! Bring me a cup. " The Doctor Zhang Hong said and sucked into a catheter. The other end of the catheter was connected to an old man lying on the cabin floor. What he sucked out was the urine in the old man's bladder.
This is a moving story that happened on China Southern Airlines flight cz399 from Guangzhou to New York on November 19. When talking about this scene on the flight, Feng Ling, the head teacher and purser, was still filled with emotion.

Sudden diseases of the elderly
Emergency medical treatment at an altitude of 10000 meters
At 1:55 a.m. on November 19, China Southern Airlines cz399 set out from Guangzhou and flew to New York on the other side of the ocean. At midnight, most of the passengers fell asleep. As usual, Feng Ling and her colleagues patrol the cabin back and forth as usual according to the work requirements to provide services for passengers in need.
When the flight was six hours away from the destination, Feng Ling received a report from the rear cabin purser that an elderly passenger reported that his wife could not urinate and needed medical assistance urgently.
Feng Ling immediately rushed to her seat and found that the sick old man was emotionally unstable and sweating. She immediately arranged the steward to find a doctor in the cabin broadcast, organized the steward to bring the pillow in the crew lounge and the blanket of the crew rest position, and paved a 'temporary rescue bed' on the floor of the service desk. While slowly helping the old man lie down, she comforted her anxious wife: 'the old man will be fine. Don't worry.'
After hearing the on-board broadcast, Zhang Hong, an interventional vascular surgeon of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University (Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Hospital), and Xiao Zhanxiang, a vascular surgeon of Hainan Provincial People's Hospital, rushed over and immediately examined the old man. After diagnosis, the two doctors believed that there was roughly 1000 ml of urine in the old man's bladder. If it was not discharged as soon as possible, they would face the risk of bladder rupture.
At present, the on-board emergency medical equipment can be used to try to puncture and urinate. After obtaining the consent of the old man's wife, the two doctors immediately began to prepare, and the crew also tried their best to find the available medical rescue equipment and materials on board to assist the doctors in treatment.

seize every minute and second
The two doctors worked together for diagnosis and treatment
Three minutes later, Dr. Xiao made a self-made puncture and urine suction device using the catheter, syringe needle, bottled milk straw and adhesive tape on the portable oxygen bottle mask and began to rescue. The crew also hurried to assist and fixed the old man in a sideways position for treatment.
However, due to the limited cabin space, the possibility of erecting the device to a high place is small, and the needle is too thin to automatically drain the urine in the elderly's bladder due to the pressure difference. In addition, due to the excessive expansion of the bladder and the weakening of the autonomous contraction function, the puncture drainage enters the bottleneck.
When everyone was at a loss, Dr. Zhang thought of sucking out urine with his mouth, which is also the best way to control the speed and strength of urine excretion. Half an hour later, the doctor successfully helped the old man discharge 700-800 ml of urine, the old man's condition was relieved and his mood was gradually stable.
For 37 minutes, Dr. Zhang kept sucking out urine for passengers and spitting it into the cup. Dr. Xiao kept adjusting the puncture position and angle according to the urine accumulation in the bladder to ensure the maximum excretion of accumulated urine. The crew also changed the cup in time, introduced the excreted urine into the wine bottle, and measured the excreted urine in real time to help doctors better grasp the passenger's condition. The two doctors cooperated with the purser tacitly, but they pushed forward the treatment in a nervous but orderly manner.

take a turn for the better and be out of danger
The old man's condition stabilized and arrived safely
Subsequently, the two doctors examined the old man again, and the old man has turned the corner. " Fortunately, it was found in time. The condition is no longer serious. You can walk after lying down for another 30 minutes, but you still have to go to the hospital for a detailed diagnosis after getting off the machine. " Listening to this, the old man's wife's heart that she had been holding on to finally fell down.
At this time, there are still 5 hours before the flight landing. In order to provide a more comfortable rest place for the elderly, the crew cleared the rest seats of the last two rows of crew in the cabin, helped the elderly and his wife who had been worried to lie down and rest, and continued to take care of the elderly during the follow-up flight, observing his state until landing.
After the plane successfully arrived in New York, the crew actively handed over with the ground staff and carefully placed the elderly who were getting better into wheelchairs.
Sucking urine with his mouth to the catheter also had the risk of infection, but at that moment, Zhang hongnao had only to save people. Afterwards, the reporter interviewed Dr. Zhang Hong. In such a critical situation, how did he not hesitate to suck urine for the elderly?
Dr. Zhang replied calmly: "the situation was urgent at that time, and I couldn't think of any better way. Seeing the painful old man, I just wanted to help him draw out the urine accumulated in his bladder as soon as possible. It can only be said that it was his bounden duty!"
As soon as the news came out last night, Dr. Zhang Hong instantly brushed the screen, and netizens were proud of him.
