Chapter 763: Upper Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Zhou Sheng made up his mind to fight this tumor to the end and never compromised.

Although Zhou Zhou can choose an easy and risk-free surgical plan, partially remove the tumor and cope with the surgery in front of him.

But Zhou Yi did not approve of such a perfunctory plan.

On Monday, it was decided to carry out cardiopulmonary bypass for Jing Xinghai to prepare for the next step of complete removal of the tumor.

Zhou Zhou looked at Jing Xinghai in a coma and thought to himself, if Jing Xinghai was awake at this time, with his character, he would definitely support his decision.

Cardiopulmonary bypass is also known as cardiopulmonary bypass.

It was an important means of life support that started in the 60s and matured in the years.

In some complex heart surgeries, the heart must not be able to beat in order to perform the operation. Because if the heart beats, a large amount of blood will spurt out when the heart is cut, and the surgical vision will be completely unclear, and there is no way to operate at all.

However, if the heart stops beating for 5 minutes, the brain will die, and even after the operation, the person has become a vegetative state, in which case, the meaning of the operation is lost.

For this reason, the technology of cardiopulmonary bypass was born. It drains the purple oxygen-deficient blood in the body into the machine through the upper and lower vena cava cannula, and then the blood turns into bright red arterial blood through the "oxygenator" connected to the oxygen, and the blood is pumped back into the aorta through a rolling pump to supply the tissues of the whole body.

It can be said that the human heart is temporarily replaced by artificial equipment through surgery.

You can find out through a simple introduction.

Although this is only a life support technology.

But its difficulty is arguably the most difficult of all life support projects.

To put it simply, this is a simplified version of the heart transplant technique.

Replace the human heart with an artificial heart.

Although it is an easy version, the difficulty is also conceivable.

I want to be proficient in this technology.

It is difficult to do this operation without a skill that has been honed outside the heart for more than ten years.

For example, at this moment, Wang Xiaoming and Zhao Feihu are standing on the operating table.

Wang Xiaoming has been working in the central hospital for six or seven years.

As long as it doesn't involve cardiopulmonary bypass heart surgery, he can basically do it independently.

But this cardiopulmonary bypass, he has never done it independently.

It's just that under the guidance of Director Cao and Director Tian, I tried it.

And Zhao Feihu can be regarded as the most experienced old ruler in his heart.

I have been coming to the central hospital for more than ten years.

If in an emergency, he has the ability to complete the operation of cardiopulmonary bypass independently, but in reality, he has not operated completely independently.

Generally speaking, heart surgeries that involve cardiopulmonary bypass are difficult cardiac surgeries.

These surgeries are basically monopolized by cardiac surgeons at the level of Director Cao and Director Tian. In this kind of operation, Zhao Feihu can only beat soy sauce and help.

On Monday, he said that he was going to have a cardiopulmonary bypass.

The entire operating room was immediately busy.

This is an operating room dedicated to heart surgery.

Basically all the equipment required for extracardiac surgery is available.

The instrument nurse quickly pushed the equipment for cardiopulmonary bypass.

The whole equipment is on a trolley more than one person high.

It seems that the pipes above are somewhat intricate. The first time I saw it, I felt like I was dazzled.

When Cao Xin saw the launch of this device, his mood was very heavy.

Outside of his heart, he also stayed for almost a year.

With the help of his uncle Cao Xiangwen, although he didn't have many opportunities to operate, he visited and learned a lot of extracardiac surgeries.

Whenever this device is pushed out during surgery.

Cao Xiangwen knew that this operation would not last more than five or six hours, so he didn't want to end it.

And there was no time when this device was launched.

Often, the surgery takes only three or four hours before it ends.

The difference between the two can be clearly distinguished from the timing of the operation.

The difference can also be seen in the surgical staff.

When using this equipment, the main knife is generally at the level of the uncle.

didn't use this equipment, basically at the level of Wang Xiaoming and Zhao Feihu.

If he was usually in the operating room, Cao Xin would still like to see this device appear.

This means that he is going through a difficult heart operation.

As a newcomer who is on the road to becoming a doctor, Cao Xin certainly hopes to be exposed to the most difficult surgery.

It's like a few interns at the moment.

When they heard Monday say that they were going to go to cardiopulmonary bypass, there was a clear feeling of excitement on the faces of several people.

However, at this moment, Cao Xin's mood is very different from usual.

Lying on the operating table is Jing Xinghai, his friend, who hopes not to use the equipment of cardiopulmonary bypass at the moment.

He even hoped that after Zhou Zhou could cut his heart bag, he would simply remove the tumor with a few knives and then declare the operation a success.

But he also knew that Jing Xinghai's condition could not be like that.

Not many doctors like to overdo it, especially in the operating room.

On cardiopulmonary bypass, Cao Xin understood that Jing Xinghai would face the test of life and death.

Thinking of this, Cao Xin's heart suddenly tightened, and suddenly, he felt that his heart was beating hard, and his hands and feet were a little cold.

Cao Xin knew that he was nervous.

This feeling is like the feeling I had when I first entered the operating room.

At that time, I was a complete rookie, and although I was only visiting and learning in the operating room, I was inevitably nervous.

But with frequent access to the operating room, Cao Xin has not felt this nervousness for a long time.

Today's nervousness is entirely due to the fact that the people on the operating table are all too familiar.
