Chapter 184: Severed Finger Replantation
Soon arrived at Taiqing People's Hospital, and several people went straight to the emergency room, where the doctors knew the situation of the hospital best.
"Doctor, our worker's finger was cut off by the machine, and the finger has been picked up by us and kept fresh, is there any replanting of the severed finger in the hospital?" Guo Xiang asked directly.
"Yes......" replied the emergency doctor.
Several people were overjoyed, and sure enough, there was hope.
"But ......," the emergency doctor frowned again.
"But what?" Guo Xiang had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"But Dr. Zhang from our orthopedic department went to the provincial capital for a meeting and will come back tomorrow." Said the emergency doctor.
"Isn't there any other doctor?" Director Zhang asked anxiously.
"Yes, yes, but no other doctor can do it, only Dr. Zhang alone will replant his fingers!" Said the emergency doctor.
"What about other hospitals?" Guo Xiang frowned.
"Now Taiqing is the only one who can do this." Said the emergency doctor.
"But tomorrow will be too late." Guo Xiang frowned.
The muscles of the severed finger may die in 6 to 8 hours, there may be a little hope in more than 10 hours, and there is no hope at all after 24 hours, and there is no waiting.
"Shall I do it, then? I'll do it! Guo Xiang said.
"You're going to do it? Who are you? The emergency doctor was surprised.
"She's a doctor at our oilfield hospital!" Director Zhang was in a hurry.
"Yes, yes, but we haven't got the equipment in the oilfield hospital yet." Guo Xiang took the opportunity to say, there is no way to lie in this situation.
"Then I can't be the master, you go and ask us Dean Lin!" The emergency doctor said, "I can make a phone call for you." ”
"Thank you then, it's urgent now, and I can't delay." Director Zhang hurriedly said.
Soon Dean Lin came down, went directly to the emergency department, looked at the worker, and then looked at the finger in Guo Xiang's hand, "Do you really know how to do finger replantation?" ”
"Yes!" Guo Xiang nodded hurriedly.
"Dean Lin, we are from the oilfield, I am the workshop director of the oilfield machinery factory, this is our worker, and my hand was accidentally broken while working."
"Your doctor is not here, you just let our doctor do the operation, we are responsible for anything, if you don't believe it, I will call our factory director immediately and ask him to come over, can you see it?" Director Zhang said hurriedly.
The worker also looked at the dean with tears in his eyes, "Dean Lin, please help me!" ”
Dean Lin hesitated, it is not that there are no doctors from other hospitals who have come to the hospital to have surgery, but it is generally necessary for hospitals to coordinate with each other, so it is not in accordance with the regulations to come directly to the door.
"Dean Lin, wait a minute, I'll call our factory director right away!" Director Zhang said.
I borrowed the phone to call Director Yang and told him about the situation here, Director Yang nodded, "I'll solve it!" ”
Immediately, he sent a car to the oilfield hospital first, where Dean Jiang was his high school classmate, and when he told him about the situation, Dean Jiang was shocked, "You want me to collude with you to say that Xiao Guo is a doctor in our hospital?" How's that going to work? ”
"Why not? Saving lives is like fighting fire! "Director Yang is in a hurry.
"Then how can I afford to do anything if something happens?" Dean Jiang was unwilling.
"I'm going to have an accident!" Director Yang patted his chest and said loudly.
"Can you hold it? You're not from the health care system! Dean Jiang glanced at him.
"To tell you the truth, this little Dr. Guo has excellent medical skills, her husband is an engineer in our factory, if you help us this time, I can persuade her to transfer to your hospital!" Director Yang lied.
"Really?" Dean Jiang looked incredulous, "Which school did she graduate from?" ”
"Then I didn't ask in detail, people are just here to visit relatives, can't they ask after the operation? Now it's urgent! ”
"Okay, let's go check it out first!" Dean Jiang nodded reluctantly.
The two rushed to the hospital, and Dean Lin nodded when he saw President Jiang, both of which were natural acquaintances of the medical system.
"Is this really the doctor at your hospital? When did your hospital send someone to study finger replantation? Dean Lin said.
Director Yang stabbed Dean Jiang in the back, and he blurted out, "She's from our hospital!" ”
As soon as I said it, I regretted it, but it was hard to change my words.
"Okay, then let's go to surgery, I'll arrange the operating room for you, and arrange two more experienced surgical nurses." Dean Lin was also very decisive when he heard that there was no problem.
"Thank you, Dean Lin!" Guo Xiang was overjoyed.
Dean Jiang's face collapsed suddenly, and he patted his mouth, how could he be so fast.
Soon the workers were pushed into the operating room and the anesthesiologist arrived.
Finger amputation and redactyly can be anesthetized using two methods, one is general anesthesia and the other is brachial plexus block anesthesia.
However, general anesthesia is generally used for children, mainly because they are afraid that the child's movement will affect the operation, because the operation time is very long, and adults know the severity of the operation, so they can generally tolerate it.
The worker was given arm numb and the microscope for the operation was moved.
The finger was debrided first, and then the severed finger was cleaned. Fortunately, the fingers were neatly cut off, and there were no wounds that were particularly difficult to clean.
The first step is to connect the severed finger to the finger with a bone needle, then to suture the tendon, then to the artery, digital vein, and digital nerve, and finally to suture the skin and fix it.
It's easy to say, but it's too meticulous to make a mistake, or your fingers will probably be wasted.
And with four fingers, it's not that easy.
Guo Xiang was engrossed and concentrated, the blood vessel stitches were thinner than the hair line, her hands did not tremble at all, and she sewed down stitches in an orderly manner.
The nurse on the side was very impressed, and she couldn't imagine that this doctor would have such a ability at such a young age.
Guo Xiang's forehead was sweating, she turned her head sideways, and the nurse helped her wipe the sweat.
Finally, the first finger was healed, the blood vessels were opened, and the distal end of the severed finger gradually changed from pale to ruddy, from cold to warm, and there was a little oozing blood around the skin margin, which indicated that the finger was successfully replanted.
Guo Xiang was greatly encouraged and continued to operate on his next finger.
Four hours passed, and Director Yang and the others were waiting anxiously outside.
"Why isn't it okay?"
"Not so fast, four fingers!" Dean Jiang said.
"I'm hungry, Xiao Zhang, you go buy some food and come back!" Director Yang said.
"Hey!" Director Zhang responded.
"One, two, three, four, buy four boxes!" Director Yang nodded, "No, six boxes, they will also eat when Xiao Guo and them come out." ”
"I've done you so much favor, and you're going to invite me to a boxed lunch?" President Jiang glanced at Director Yang.
"Isn't that a special situation? Why don't you go back first? I'll have you another day! Director Yang said.
"You ......," Dean Jiang was angry, "I'd better finish the boxed lunch first and then go back, and now I won't have anything to eat when I go back to the cafeteria." ”
Director Yang chuckled, "Xiao Zhang, buy more meat and vegetables!" Go back and reimburse you. ”
"Hey!" Director Zhang responded.
Gu Zhennan didn't have much heart to eat, he was worried about his little daughter-in-law, she hadn't come out for so long, how tired she should be!
