Chapter 420: Growing Fast
At the Iris Clinic, Zhou Qiao took Nanako Chiba and Grace to study Olivia's condition and discuss the details of the surgical plan.
Although they usually play a lot in private, they have fun and play, and once they are seriously engaged in work, it is a top-level professional attitude.
This small team, with the most rigorous scientific attitude, has formulated very specific clinical management plans and response plans for every detail of perioperative management and any complications that may occur.
Especially in terms of medication, Nanako Chiba contributed the most. Because she has the most in-depth research on pharmacokinetics. For this, Grace is also quite admirable.
On the first day Grace came, she saw Nanako Chiba writing quite advanced papers in the field of medicine.
After the overall plan was formulated, Zhou Qiao sent the model and specific parameters of the artificial heart needed to Boston Medical Company.
The company owned by Academician Dominory is the most powerful artificial heart manufacturing institution in the United States, and Zhou Qiao also has a stake there, and the full magnetic levitation artificial heart produced by it is very small, which can weigh about 90 grams.
Moreover, after a large number of clinical data statistics, its full magnetic levitation artificial heart has very few adverse events, which can be said to be very suitable for Olivia's condition.
Regarding the transplantation of artificial hearts, Zhou Qiao has also done several cases before and has successful experience in this regard.
This time, he plans to let Nanako Chiba and Grace co-lead the knife, which is also to give them a chance to grow.
Of course, artificial heart implantation is not simple, it is an emerging cutting-edge medical technology full of extremely high risks and challenges, facing challenges such as perioperative risk in children with end-stage heart failure and the unique hemodynamic characteristics of long-term ventricular assist systems, and this time the operation is performed on a child with DMD.
It can be said that it has increased the difficulty of the existing surgery.
Children with DMD are characterized by dissolved muscles, degeneration of diaphragm, and muscle strength that is different from that of ordinary people.
Due to the partial loss of muscle function, the perioperative period is more challenging, and it is necessary to be extremely cautious in the selection of anesthetic drugs, the advancement of the surgical process, and the timing of extubation, and it is necessary to formulate a personalized plan for the specific condition.
The reason why Zhou Qiao dared to let go was naturally because Nanako Chiba and Grace were rare medical geniuses in the world, and they now had the strength to challenge this operation.
Zhou Qiao himself will also sit on the side to deal with some possible emergencies.
Once everything was ready, the operation began.
Zhou Qiao led the members of the Iris Troupe to the state-of-the-art heart transplant operating room at the University of California Medical Center.
Ava put a song "Heavenly Love" as the opening song, which is very classic and soft.
"When the wind rises, the flowers fall, who holds the pen to paint Danqing for you, the lone shadow under the moon is wet with tears, and the flowing water does not pay a lifetime of affectionate ......"
It is worth mentioning that Grace has now begun to learn Chinese, but her Chinese is the worst among all because she has the shortest learning time.
Nanako Chiba and Grace acted together, and the operation was done very delicately and exceptionally smoothly.
In less than two hours, overcoming many difficulties, such a difficult operation as artificial heart transplantation was successfully implemented.
After precise adjustment, the fully magnetic levitation heart, which weighs only about 90 grams, runs smoothly in the child's body, and the hemodynamic data is stable.
Less than 24 hours after surgery, the child was removed from the ventilator.
Mr. and Mrs. Poulson were so happy that they almost jumped.
What made them even happier was that six days after the operation, Olivia was transferred to a general ward.
Before, this poor little girl could not even lie down and sleep, and she was in the ICU several times, but now after the operation of Iris Tiantuan and the post-operative conditioning, she is able to get out of bed and walk.
When I did breathing exercises, I couldn't blow a single ball before the operation, but now I can blow all three balls, and my mental state shows the unique vitality of a little girl of this age.
If it is an ordinary child, it can already be discharged from the hospital at this time. However, Olivia is still a child with DMD and needs a longer hospital stay.
Therefore, it was not until 20 days after surgery that the conditions for discharge were met.
It's already quite fast, so to speak, record-breaking. The kind that breaks global records.
Mrs. and Mr. Poulson were extremely grateful and sent flowers to every employee at the Iris Clinic.
Talia is here, she is now in charge of the operation of Iris Media and Zhou Qiao's major self-media accounts, and she thinks that Olivia's case is very suitable for posting on short videos.
Then, Talia and Mrs. Poulson discuss that they will play mosaics, and they will also use pseudonyms without revealing their privacy.
Unexpectedly, Olivia, who had been listening quietly on the side, suddenly interjected, and her little face was flushed and she shouted: "Mom, beautiful sister Talia, can you not give me a mosaic, I can show my face!" You can also use your real name! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
Olivia said very seriously with a straight face: "I'm not trying to be famous, I just want everyone to know, I want my teachers and classmates to know that although I have a very serious illness, I have enough courage and optimistic confidence to face it, and now, with the help of the famous doctors of the Iris Clinic, I have overcome the disease." I hope you will be happy for me. ”
At a young age, he thinks clearly, speaks in an organized manner, and is really courageous!
Not only did he show his face in the video, but he dared to face all the people he knew and those he didn't know, which was even more manifested in the previous surgical process.
Whether it was her willingness to try an artificial heart before the surgery, or her positive and optimistic cooperation with the treatment after the surgery, she did not act like a young child at all, and even more courageous than many adults.
Children from poor families are in charge early, and sick children are sensible early.
She has a wealthy family, but unfortunately she has been plagued by illness since she was a child, and she has really been sensible very early, and she has developed an unusually optimistic personality.
This mentality is very beneficial to her future growth.
It can be said that this is equivalent to God's insignificant compensation for her.
Taria, Mr. and Mrs. Poulson, Zhou Qiao, Nanako Chiba, Grace and others all gave thumbs up.
In the end, there was really no mosaic processing, direct high-definition photos and real names, and short videos were taken. Of course, there are some that are pre-surgical monitoring clips.
When it came to compensation, the Poulsons did not take it.
The couple felt that the Iris Clinic had given their daughter a new start in life, and their gratitude was far from enough.
Talia and Yang Xuejun are both pregnant. Zhou Qiao made a shot, and naturally hit it immediately. However, when preparing for pregnancy that time, Zhou Qiao came more than once in one night.
Zhou Qiao was apprehensive at the same time, but also quite happy.
The reason for his apprehension was that he had not obtained a marriage license or held a ceremony with any of the girls. I feel quite guilty.
Naturally, I am happy that there will be new offspring soon.
Elena and Ava are quite envious, but, limited by their current status, the time is not ripe and they dare not get pregnant.
Nanako Chiba and Grace grew up quickly, and each of them performed separate surgeries and had many surgeries.
Grace, in particular, is proficient in many other surgeries in addition to heart surgery, and she sent Dr. Albert the surgeries she did these days and the papers she wrote.
The old father clicked on the mailbox, downloaded the attachments, carefully checked them one by one, and read them while drinking coffee, and it was an afternoon at a glance, which can be said to be quite gratifying.
"I thought it would take five to ten years for Grace to grow into an expert, but I didn't expect that now when I go to the Iris Clinic, in less than half a year, she can already compete with many senior experts. And it's the kind that is interdiscursive. Dr. Albert said to Madame.
An all-rounder, a rarity in the world. It is only in places like the Iris Clinic that this kind of perversion can be produced.
Grace's mom was also delighted and sent her daughter a carefully selected gift to celebrate her growth.
