“I’ll activate theRespiratory Array, but I’m going to need you to sedate her. Last think we needis for the patient to accidentally wake up with a tube down her throat. Andwith her lungs working again that could very well happen.”

 

“Yes Doctor.”

 

Ewan picked up thehypospray which contained the sedative. He also had a second hypospray readywith reversal drugs in case they had to wake her up in a hurry.

 

“Are we readyEwan?”

 

“Yes Doctor”

 

He placed the hyposprayto Cortez’s neck and there was a soft hiss as the medication entered her system.He glanced at the monitors to make sure that there was nothing untoward happeningbefore nodding to Kruse.

 

“Alright, I’llengage the Respiratory Array.” 

 

Ewan watched as thelamp device began to glow, a gentle laser focused on to Erin’s chest. The arraybeamed for what seemed like a half hour but was really five minutes. He gave aninward smile hoping that this would be the complicated part ofthe procedure.

 

“Looks like theprocedure was a complete success. The lungs are repaired. Remove the tube andwe can begin the process of getting her out of her comatose state at 200hours.” 

 

“Yes Doctor.”

 

He scanned the consoleand the monitors to indicate that everything was okay and that she did not haveany muscle relaxants in her system that would affect her bodies normal breathing.He moved over to Erin’s head and looked at the tube that was protruding out of hermouth.

 

~Glad they did nothave to do a tracheostomy~

 

“Okay Erin I amgoing to take you tube out.”

 

He knew that shewas sedated and probably could not hear anything but he had been taughtfrom  his first lesson’ s as a baby nursethat informing the patient of what is happening helps. He was not sure if itwas him or Erin it was helping in this case, but it did not mater.

 

“Okay I amdeflating the cuff you will feel some relaxation in your throat.

 

With one more glaceat the reading he pressed the deflation icon on the endotracheal tube. Therewas a soft hiss and beep as the tube’s cuff deflated. His hand hovered over theas he paused to check the vital signs for any signs of distress or rapid dropof oxygen levels. 

 

“Okay taking it outnow.”

 

Once he was happy, hetook a hold of the tube and with gentle pressure pulled out the tube. He discardedit into a waist container and stepped back looking at the monitors again. 

 

“She is breathingon her own Doctor.”

He glanced at the chronometeron the sickbay wall.
