113 Cryotherapy

The others saw that Lu Huan's expression was the same as Xu Xiaolei, at this time, any doctor should take active treatment, and without even announcing the time of death, he directly sent the person to the morgue, which is really no different from burying him alive.

Although it may only be a few minutes away, it is absolutely unacceptable to the patient's family.

Xu Xiaolei rushed towards Lu Huan regardless of it, grabbed his clothes stubbornly, and put on a posture of wanting to die with Lu Huan without her usual demeanor.

Facing this girl who had lost her mind, Lu Huan stretched her long arms, pressed her, pressed her to the chair and couldn't move, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I look like a person who gives up hope so easily? ”

Xu Xiaolei is a graduate student in clinical medicine, although she specializes in neurosurgery, but she still has basic knowledge, hearing Lu Huan's words, she suddenly reacted to what his purpose was, and asked hesitantly: "You mean, using this method, you can eliminate the damage of the human body during reintegration?"

"Smart, can you let go of me now?future sister-in-law of the Zhang family?" Lu Huan raised his eyebrows.

The playful smile in his eyes made Xu Xiaolei's face flush all of a sudden, and then she realized that she was still pulling the sleeve of Lu Huan's clothes, and quickly let go of her hand, and asked in a low voice, "You, what did you call me just now?"

"It doesn't matter what I call you, the important thing is that you care so much about Zhang Baoqiang, what is it for, am I right?" Lu Huan didn't explain too much, and said softly when he passed by Xu Xiaolei's side, then raised his head and nodded to the director of the emergency department who rushed over to inform him that he was ready, and pushed Zhang Baoqiang into the morgue.

"Lu Huan, how sure are you?" asked Xu Xiaolei with the courage.

"Nine out of nine. Lu Huan turned his head, his voice was not slow, and he had his own unique confidence.

"Why...... And one can't you promise me?"

Xu Xiaolei's eyes were full of incredulity, nine out of nine things were absolutely certain, but Lu Huan just said nine out of nine, he didn't know that there was a difference of one point, for the family members who cared about the patient, was it one day and one place?

"There are only nine out of nine things that people can do, and in the end, whether they succeed or not depends on fate. Lu Huan rubbed his chin, "But I think that when Zhang Baoqiang has nothing, he can seduce a beautiful sister-in-law like you, and his life should be good, do you say?"

"Get out!" Xu Xiaolei finally heard what Lu Huan was calling her this time, her expression was embarrassed, and she couldn't help scolding.

Although she cared about Zhang Baoqiang at this time, it was just because of the touch he gave him, and she didn't have any intention of taking a fancy to him.

Xu Xiaolei suddenly felt a little shaken in her heart, watching Zhang Baoqiang being pushed into the morgue, an angular face sank into the freezer, biting her lip and whispering: "Thirty years of sentient beings, cattle and horses, sixty years of Buddhas and dragons, you have not enjoyed the prosperity of this world, but you will definitely survive this day." ”

Time, in an operation, may be something more missing than panda blood.

Nothing in the current man-made is more sophisticated and complex than the human body, which is why external dialysis can never replace a person's original kidney, and a pacemaker cannot save all cardiac arrests. Many complex surgeries are performed using instruments to create a temporary life-sustaining environment, but the results are not satisfactory, which is the biggest challenge surgeons face when performing complex surgeries.

Time, time, the sword of Damocles hanging over the doctor's head.

Zhang Baoqiang is facing this problem, there are many points of internal bleeding, and now the body is maintained in a very delicate balance, and it can also maintain the operation of the organs, and also keep the blood loss in the body at a very slow rate.

But if he goes to the operating table to deal with the wounds on his body, if the broken balance cannot be repaired in an instant, the sudden increase in blood loss will take his life in a very short period of time, and this kind of speed is difficult for the gods to save, even with Lu Huan's hand speed, it is impossible to plug the cracks of Zhang Baoqiang's organs at the same time.

The director of surgery asked Lu Huan this question, and Lu Huan was silent for a while, and then came up with a solution: freeze, temporarily block Zhang Baoqiang's physiology and blood flow, and create extra time for rescue.

It sounds like a very mysterious thing.,There was a big boss in the fairy sword who was too injured to seal himself in the ice cube for nineteen years to suppress the injury.,In many novels, there are also sections where the heroine is too injured and the male protagonist temporarily freezes him for a long time to seek healing.。

But in reality, this kind of problem can also be realized, the rescue team dug up the frozen human body in the ice, and after testing, the body was not damaged, because the rapid freezing process did not cause damage to the cells.

There have been cases of animals that have been successfully "resurrected" after being quick-frozen. In 2004, a seafood company in Miami, USA, showed a video of two lobsters frozen in salt water at minus 40 degrees Celsius, thawed for a few minutes, and then swimming in the water again. They claim to have used a special freezing methodβ€”β€”β€” first soaking them in sub-freezing seawater, then placing them in ultra-cold chemical brine β€”β€”β€”to freeze 200 live lobsters, and after determining that the lobsters were frozen into ice, after several hours of thawing, 12 of the 200 lobsters survived.

There are even medical teams studying the technology of quick-freezing resuscitation to achieve the purpose of prolonging life in disguise.

Robert Ettinger, who was born in 1918 to a Jewish family in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is a typical figure, and his family's religious background does not seem to have prevented him from becoming an atheist. Like many science and engineering boys, Ettinger loved physics and math from an early age and was an avid reader of science fiction. After reading Nell Jones's short science fiction novel "Jameson Satellites", he came up with the idea of "freezing the flesh for the day when immortality technology will be realized", and began to work on extending human life and cryonics.

The approach now taken by Ettinger's cryonics facility is that when a person's heart stops beating and is deemed "legally dead," the agency's emergency response team first provides enough oxygen and blood to the deceased's brain to maintain the most basic brain activity, then puts the body in ice and injects an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting along the way.

β€”β€”β€”If the deceased is only put into a bucket of nitrogen solution, the water in the cells of the deceased will freeze, and once the water freezes, the cells will swell, causing the cells to rupture, and it is impossible to achieve real "freshness", β€”β€”β€” the water in the cells must be removed first, and then a chemical mixture based on glycerin, that is, a cryogenic protective agent, which is an antifreeze used in the human body.

The purpose of this is to protect organs and tissues so that they do not form ice crystals at extremely low temperatures. This process, called "vitrification", causes the cells to enter a state of "suspended animation", in which the body is placed on a bed of dry ice and frozen until the temperature reaches minus 130 degrees Celsius, and the next step is to place the body in liquid nitrogen at minus 196 degrees Celsius.

At this point, the frozen person's body is placed head-down, so that even if there is a leak in the box, the brain will be soaked in the freezer.

The implementation of this cryonics process is not cheap, and the cost of freezing the entire body is about $150,000. For the more frugal, spending $50,000 can also save only the brain, an option known as neural continuation.

In the process of treating Zhang Baoqiang, there is no need for such a complicated process, Lu Huan only needs to cry low temperature to make the blood clot into a solid to prevent a large amount of blood loss. But the average person does not dare to imagine this kind of treatment at all, because water is not a standard thermal expansion and contraction, the density is highest at 4 degrees Celsius, the density will become smaller when the temperature rises or cools, and the freezing process of water will break the cells.

Ettinger's solution is to replace the cell fluid, while Lu Huan is more direct, he directly uses drugs to change the water in the body in a short period of time, turning it into a new solution with a very small change in volume with temperature, so that the damage caused by the volume change can be very cleverly avoided.

After using a mouse to verify that the drug Lu Huangang configured did work, the director of the emergency room agreed to talk about Zhang Baoqiang's freezing.

About half an hour later, Zhang Baoqiang, who had turned into ice, was put on a scalpel.

At this time, the temperature of the operating room was also pumped to about zero degrees by the compressor, and all the doctors put thick down thermal suits inside the surgical gowns, but they could not wear too thick gloves on their hands, because the dexterity of the hands must be ensured.

"It's the first time I've done ...... surgery at low temperatures" The director of the emergency department kept exhaling white breath behind the mask, which showed the coldness in the operating room, and a round face was frozen blue, after all, he was not young.

"Aseptic operation can be reduced by one order, because low temperature also inhibits the activity of bacteria and viruses, this is no problem, and we all complete the operation as soon as possible. Lu Huan comforted, and at the same time did not forget to tell the precautions for low-temperature operations at this time, "And everyone should move gently, now he is frozen into an ice cube man, and if there is any additional damage in addition to his own wounds, it will not be easy to do." ”

"Anyway, there won't be blood, just sew it up. A young intern quipped, looking indifferent.

Everyone looked at this guy seriously, didn't say anything and continued to do their own thing, the director of the emergency department thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You can go out, you are not welcome in the emergency department." ”

It is really irresponsible to say these things at this time, and the surgeon has enough right to refuse such an intern to participate in his operation.

The intern left the operating table with a depressed face, but no one would sympathize with him, all choices in this world need to be taken care of, and God will not let anyone go easily because he is young.

"Let's start, this is a very long open-air battle, after this operation, you can all apply to be a field doctor, you have survived the harsh cold environment!"

Lu Huan took the scalpel from the nurse's hand, and subconsciously turned around, usually when this habitual action appeared, it meant that he was also nervous, and there was a momentary struggle in his heart.

But no one saw Lu Huan's hesitation, Lu Huan had already cut open the superficial skin of Zhang Baoqiang's abdominal cavity with one knife!
