Chapter 156: Race against Death
Brain surgery.
Intensive Care Unit.
Hiss!
As soon as Zhao Heng entered the ward, he was shocked by what he saw.
Lying on the hospital bed was not so much a person as a humanoid object with a carbonized appearance.
Looking at the cracked and carbonized skin on the patient's body surface, Zhao Heng suddenly felt a tingling of his scalp.
This patient can survive, it's really fate!
The vitality of human beings is incredible!
"Senior, what is the internal environment of the patient?"
Zhao Heng asked Liu Ziang.
"The situation is very bad, the patient's body surface skin is carbonized in a large area, electrolyte imbalance, and the acid-base imbalance is serious."
Liu Ziang said with a very solemn face.
"The patient is in this situation, and I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate the operation."
Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.
What he meant was that the patient was in such a serious condition that he might not be able to get off the operating table.
"I had no choice but to give it a go. If you don't go to the operating table, the patient may not be able to survive tonight, and only when you go to the operating table can there be a glimmer of life. ”
Liu Ziang shook his head slightly and said.
As a doctor, sometimes it is to earn such a glimmer of life for patients.
The job of a doctor is a race against death.
"Well, I have to give it a go."
Zhao Heng nodded.
"Junior brother, please leave the anesthesia to you, this is the key to the success or failure of the operation."
Liu Ziang said to Zhao Heng solemnly.
As a master of brain surgery, simple repair of head injury and removal of intracranial hematoma are not very difficult surgeries for Liu Ziang.
Similarly, for Jiang Rui, the attending doctor of cardiac surgery, heart valve repair is only a routine operation in cardiac surgery.
Therefore, the most critical issue of this operation is whether the anesthesiologist can maintain the blood perfusion and sufficient oxygen supply to the brain while performing cardiopulmonary bypass in such a dangerous situation for the patient, which is an extremely difficult task.
"Doctor Zhao, this.
Are you sure about the anesthesia of this patient? ”
Jiang Rui couldn't help but look at Zhao Heng and asked.
Even when he was an intern at the Hopkins School of Medicine Hospital, he had never encountered a patient who was so seriously ill that he could go to the operating table.
The key to this is anesthesia, and if you were in Hopkins, no anesthesiologist would have taken the anesthesia for this kind of surgery.
Because in the eyes of other doctors, the chances of success in anesthesia are too slim.
"If you're not sure, you're going to get on it, let's give it a go."
Zhao Heng said solemnly.
Wouldn't it be safe if you weren't sure?
He's not someone who gives up hope easily!
"Let's work together."
Liu Ziang said to Zhao Heng and Jiang Rui.
"Okay, let's work together."
Jiang Rui also seemed to be infected by the spirit of Liu Ziang and Zhao Heng, and he also nodded excitedly.
If you are not afraid of difficulties, you are the real warrior if you fight against the wind and waves!
"I'll go get ready first."
Zhao Heng said to Liu Ziang.
If you need to have surgery, you need to start preparing immediately, and you can't wait at all.
For this patient's anesthesia, it will be the most difficult, complex and tricky anesthesia that Zhao Heng has ever done.
This is unprecedented!
"Okay."
Liu Ziang nodded.
Coming out of the brain surgery, Zhao Heng felt that his whole body was tense, as if he was preparing to go to the battlefield.
A little trembling, but also a little excited, Zhao Heng felt that his adrenaline was secreted a little more.
Back in the anesthesiology department of the operating room, Zhao Heng came to the head nurse and said to Tian Zhen and Sun Li: "Come to work, let's prepare to stay all night tonight." ”
"Huh? What's the big job? ”
Hearing Zhao Heng say this, and then seeing him as if he was facing a great enemy, Sun Li, who had always been very cold, asked in some surprise.
Tian Zhen also looked at Zhao Heng with some doubts, in her opinion, Zhao Heng has always been the kind of calm and calm that Taishan collapsed before and did not change his color.
Even he was a little nervous now, what a tricky situation it had to be.
"High-voltage electric shock plus falling from a height, head injury and bleeding, heart valve repair, isn't this a big deal?"
Zhao Heng said slowly.
"What?! Dr. Zhao, this is an extracorporeal bypass, and a craniotomy is also done? ”
Sun Li's professional quality is extremely high, and as soon as she heard Zhao Heng say this, she immediately understood.
It was only when she understood that she was shocked.
This kind of operation is simply snatching people from the hands of death.
In all her years in the operating room, she had never seen such an outrageous anesthetic request.
"Yes, that's it, so I'm afraid you're going to have to go together."
Zhao Heng nodded.
"Okay, I'll go get the cardiopulmonary bypass apparatus ready."
Tian Zhen responded immediately, and there was no hesitation at all.
"Well, I'll go too."
Sun Li also reacted, saving lives is like fighting a fire, now is not the time to be shocked and in a daze.
Next, Zhao Heng went to the operating room to prepare, Tian Zhen and Sun Li came to the medical device storage room and began to prepare the medical instruments and instruments for cardiopulmonary bypass.
Cardiopulmonary bypass is a very complex operation, and there are a lot of things to prepare.
Cardiopulmonary bypass is a life support technology that uses a series of special artificial devices to drain cardiac venous blood to the outside of the body, and then transfuses it back into the arterial system after gas exchange, temperature adjustment and filtration through artificial methods.
The medical equipment required for cardiopulmonary bypass alone includes artificial heart (blood pump), artificial lung (oxygenator), thermostat, pipe, filter, console and electronic equipment.
If it weren't for the very experienced instrument nurses in the operating room, they would not be able to do this kind of preparation.
"Cardiopulmonary bypass is accompanied by a craniotomy, which is also too exaggerated."
Sun Li, who was preparing the instrument, said to Tian Zhen with a sigh.
"Yes, I've been in the operating room for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen this kind of anesthesia."
Tian Zhen also nodded and said.
"You see those people say every day that Dr. Zhao is superior by his connections, let them do this anesthesia."
After a pause, Tian Zhen said again.
"Hmm.
In the case of this anesthesia, except for Dr. Zhao, no one has done it. ”
Rao is Sun Li's cold character, and I have to admit that this kind of unprecedented, I have never heard of someone doing anesthesia, if you can take it down, in terms of anesthesia, it can already be called a big one.
"That's it, Mannie really drew a lottery."
Tian Zhen said with a sigh.
With Zhao Heng's progress speed, there is no doubt that he can definitely become a god-level figure like Liu Ziang before the age of thirty.
And the career of a doctor is very long, at the very least, he can do it until he is sixty years old.
At the age of thirty, he became a god-level figure, and there are still thirty years of development and promotion, what kind of extent can he reach at that time, it may be a height that no one can imagine!
"Don't think about that, let's do things first."
Sun Li looked at Tian Zhen, shook her head slightly and said.
Even people like her, who have no feelings for men, feel that Xu Manni has found absolute potential, and it is not surprising that Tian Zhen thinks so.
