Chapter Forty-Eight: Turning the Tide

After a while, the doctors from the Department of Vascular Surgery and Cardiovascular Medicine arrived, and Liu Yan, the head nurse of the operating room, pushed the transfer bed to the door of the operating room.

However, as soon as a glimmer of hope emerged, new problems arose.

Cardiogram room, on the third floor.

It is too risky to transfer a patient who is undergoing cardiac compressions from the operating room on the second floor to the imaging room on the third floor, because effective cardiac compressions cannot be guaranteed during transport.

Just when everyone was at a loss and fell into despair again.

Zhao Heng suddenly said: "If you can't go to the imaging room, you can do bedside TEE." ”

TEE, or transesophageal ultrasound cardiac examination, can be done without imaging, and most importantly, it can be done directly at the bedside.

Zhao Heng can think of this, of course, it also comes from the experience fusion of Professor Huang Guangyu.

β€œTEE? Yes, you can do TEE! ”

A doctor in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine suddenly said.

"Old Gao?"

Ning Yunhao looked at Gao Jun almost with pleading eyes.

Everyone here, perhaps only senior anesthesiologist Gao Jun, may be able to do TEE.

Because TEE is a test method that has only been developed in recent years, it is very cutting-edge, and ordinary anesthesiologists have never done it.

"Okay."

Gao Jun has only heard of TEE, and he has only heard of the specific operation process.

Although he was not sure, but at this time, he could only grit his teeth.

"Teacher, I just happened to ask Huang Lao about this recently, I'll come."

Just when Gao Jun was about to grit his teeth, Zhao Heng suddenly said.

"Huang Lao? Well, here you go! ”

In the current situation, every minute and second is an important moment that determines the life and death of a patient, so Gao Jun only thought for a second and immediately nodded.

He decided to let Zhao Heng go!

After all, now everyone is at a loss for what to do.

Gao Jun agreed, and the others naturally had no opinion, but seeing such a young Zhao Heng on top, everyone felt that there was little hope!

"Teacher Ning, I need two minutes."

Zhao Heng looked at Ning Yunhao and said.

For TEE, the compressions must be stopped for two minutes, and this test must be done between stopping the external compressions.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

In an instant, Ning Yunhao gritted his teeth and made a decision.

You must know that once you stop cardiac compressions, you may miss the best rescue time, and this responsibility is too heavy.

At this moment, everyone's eyes stayed on Zhao Heng's body.

Can this young man create a miracle?

Next, Liu Yan, the head nurse, quickly pushed the instrument in, and Zhao Heng took over and started the operation.

Soon, the development of the heart appeared on the screen.

Zhao Heng immediately stared at the display screen tightly.

And all the others, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and their hearts were clenched, and they had reached their throats.

Finally, two minutes later.

Zhao Heng opened his mouth and said: "The right atrium is embolized, and the superior vena cava catheter will be prepared immediately." ”

At this moment, Zhao Heng seemed to merge with the figure of the old professor Huang Guangyu in his memory.

"I'll prepare."

Liu Yan, the head nurse of the operating room, seemed to be impressed by the aura displayed by Zhao Heng at this moment, and immediately went to prepare something.

After a while, Liu Yan, the head nurse, rushed in with the catheter and implanted equipment.

Zhao Heng took the catheter and placed the catheter into the superior vena cava in just over a minute.

The moment the catheter enters the right atrium of the heart, the patient's heart returns to beating.

It worked!

It is difficult to describe the feeling of being pardoned by everyone.

And at this moment, it has been a full 35 minutes since the heart stopped!

It's an absolute miracle!

And that's what happened right in front of everyone's eyes.

The chief surgeon, Ning Yunhao, was even darker in front of his eyes, and at this moment he felt that his feet were paralyzed, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

"Xiao Zhao, good job!"

Gao Jun looked at Zhao Heng with a look of relief and said.

"Alright, let's go ahead with the operation."

Xu Wenqiang, the director of the operating room, was standing outside the operating room, and he witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.

It can be said that Zhao Heng single-handedly eliminated a serious crisis.

In recent years, the contradiction between doctors and patients has become more and more acute, and the living environment is not optimistic.

In this environment, an ordinary operation has a patient who died, even for Dongfang Hospital, it is a very bad incident, not to mention the chief surgeon Ning Yunhao.

If this patient really died on the operating table, then it was unimaginable what the consequences would be when the chief surgeon Ning Yunhao arrived.

"Xiao Zhao, that's good."

Xu Wenqiang walked to Zhao Heng's side and said with great appreciation.

This young man, you can rely on it!

It's rare to see such a reliable young man now!

Xu Wenqiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Next, the patient was rescued, and the operation naturally returned to normal, and at this time, Ning Yunhao did half an hour of extracorporeal heart compression, and his arm was already sore, not to mention the huge psychological pressure he was under in this short period of time.

Therefore, the neurosurgery department came to an attending doctor to take over his operation, while Ning Yunhao sat on the side and rested.

"Xiao Zhao, thank you so much today."

Sitting beside Zhao Heng, Ning Yunhao said to Zhao Heng very gratefully.

If it weren't for Zhao Heng today, he really couldn't imagine what kind of consequences he would have suffered.

To be able to become the deputy chief doctor of Dongfang Hospital, Ning Yunhao's efforts and efforts over the years are unimaginable to ordinary people.

If such a serious medical accident really happened today, then everything that Ning Yunhao had worked hard to gain might come to naught.

Medical malpractice is the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all surgeons!

"Yes, Xiao Zhao, everyone sees your performance today."

Gao Jun was also very pleased to say.

Zhao Heng has a very scarce quality, the more critical the situation, the calmer he is, and the more he can come up with a way to deal with it in a very short time.

Whenever there is a big event, this quality has been a must-have for those who have achieved great things since ancient times.

"Xiao Zhao, how did you think that the cause of the patient's heart arrest was an air embolism in the right atrium? After so many years and so many surgeries, I have never encountered a situation where the right atrium air embolism caused the patient's heart to stop. ”

It seemed to be a little relaxed, Ning Yunhao asked very suspiciously.

Today's situation is extremely rare, and if it hadn't been encountered before, it would have been impossible to imagine.

This is the blind spot of thinking, it can be said that in clinical practice, the patient has an emergency, and the attending doctor falls into the blind spot of thinking, and does not think of the real cause of the patient's illness, in general, the consequences will be very serious.

"When I went to the lecture before, I happened to discuss this situation with an old professor, and when I was in a hurry today, I remembered it."

Zhao Heng said.
