Professor Smith followed Liu Miqiao into the puncture room of the Department of Neurology.
There are 20 beds side by side, and behind each bed there is a set of monitors, rescue vehicles, defibrillators and puncture equipment.
It looks like a scene from a science fiction movie, which is a bit creepy when you think about it.
Professor Lehman was placed on bed No. 5, and Zou Qingxiang completed the skin preparation and perforation.
Liu Muqiao washed his hands, put on surgical clothes, and walked to Professor Lehman's bedside. He nodded to Professor Smith, meaning come here.
Professor Smith came over, and Liu Muqiao gestured, "I will insert the needle from this direction, and then penetrate 4 centimeters to reach the center of the hematoma."
Professor Smith was a little confused and asked: "Are you basing this on experience or some other basis?"
Liu Muqiao said: "I based it on the CT images."
Professor Smith still doesn’t quite understand. You’ve already left the CT scan for more than ten minutes. Do you still have any impression?
He muttered, Oh my god, you got it on like this?
Liu Miqiao had already inserted the puncture into the brain tissue, pulled out the needle core, and blood flowed out.
Professor Smith and his colleagues also performed punctures, which were much more cautious. They used a method of positioning. After examination under CT, they then drew lines on the skull. There were as many as 6 lines, forming a three-dimensional image.
Professor Smith's accuracy is very precise, and the "six-line method" was an important achievement of Hopkins Hospital that year.
At that time, the Smith team at Hopkins Hospital invented the "six-wire method" to locate hematomas, which provided an accurate measurement method for hematoma location and greatly improved the puncture progress of hematomas.
This "six-wire method" can also be used for pathological examination sampling of intracranial tumors. Tumors larger than 0.5 cm can be accurately sampled through the "six-wire method".
The "six-line method" invented by Professor Smith won the first prize for science and technology application. There is no special prize in their country, and the first prize is the highest prize.
Of course, this award is only a "Technology Application" award, not the more authoritative "Invention Award". The prize money for the "Technology Application" Award is 1.5 million US dollars, which is far behind the 6 million US dollars for the "Invention Award".
Professor Smith's fame has a lot to do with this "six-line method". Later, he made several achievements, and finally he became a top expert in neuroscience.
Professor Smith looked at Liu Miqiao's serious non-compliance with the rules and felt that this was a blasphemy against science.
"How is this possible? You didn't draw a single line!"
"We are all like this."
Zou Qingxiang said loudly.
He also knows about the "Six-Line Method", but not many people in China use the "Six-Line Method" because there are big differences between the heads of Westerners and Easterners. For Easterners, the "Six-Line Method" is basically useless.
Invalid.
"We don't need to draw a single thread to pierce." Zou Qingxiang said proudly.
"Isn't your success rate very low?" Professor Smith asked.
"It's not low. The accuracy rate is almost 100%. Even for tumor biopsy samples, which are 0.5 centimeters in size, the accuracy rate is close to 100%. Because we are all apprentices brought by master puncture Liu Miqiao. A famous teacher produces a good apprentice." Zou Qingxiang proudly said
Say.
Zhao Yilin stood aside, basically mute. His English is not good, but Zou Qingxiang is great, and his spoken English has no problem at all.
In Zhao Yilin's time, before college, people basically only knew a few dozen letters in foreign languages. It was only in college that they started to learn medical English. I could barely understand the literature, but my listening and speaking were not good.
While they were talking, Liu Miqiao had already completed the puncture to remove the hematoma.
It only takes less than 5 minutes.
"Is this all done?" Professor Smith and the others performed a puncture. The preparation took no less than half an hour, and the puncture cleaning also took more than 15 minutes.
Liu Muqiao was like performing a venipuncture. In a little more than 4 minutes, he had already applied sterile gauze to the patient's wound and perfunctorily applied a "X" tape.
"What's next?" Smith asked.
"Go back to the ward, take Chinese medicine, do rehabilitation, and be discharged from the hospital after one week to do rehabilitation as an outpatient." Liu Miqiao explained the entire process.
"Discharged in 1 week?"
In Professor Smith's opinion, one week is when brain tissue edema is at its most severe, so how can he be discharged from the hospital? What's more, Professor Lehman is still in a coma, is it too rough to be discharged from the hospital in one week?
"Yes, within one week, we can generally meet the standards for discharge. Rehabilitation can be done in outpatient clinics. In this way, we can save a lot of money for patients, and our hospital bed turnover rate can also be greatly improved."
Liu Muqiao's answer is that the core issue is to increase the turnover rate of hospital beds. If they stay for a long time, new patients will not be able to come in.
"However, the patient is still in a coma!" Professor Smith is an expert, and he seriously doubts Liu Miqiao's expectation of being discharged within one week.
"It doesn't matter. In the next step of treatment, we will use a drug that promotes awakening, which also has a powerful effect on the recovery of nerve function." Liu Muqiao introduced.
"Do you... besides Huatuo Regeneration Pills, do you have more powerful drugs?" Professor Smith has already used the exported version of Huatuo Regeneration Pills.
The export version of Huatuo's Regeneration Pills is different from the ones used in China, because their country has strict restrictions on certain ingredients. Liu Maqiao had to make some modifications to adapt to the laws of his country, but the efficacy was greatly reduced.
p>
Huatuo's regeneration pills originally contained Cao Wu, which is poisonous and does not meet export requirements.
They simply don't understand the principle of "fighting poison with poison". A small dose of grasshopper has no harm at all.
Liu Muqiao didn't argue with others. If you don't allow imports, I won't beg you. Human lives are the lives of people in your country. The worst I can do is not make money from you.
In the end, Liu Muqiao eliminated Cao Wu from the exported Huatuo Regeneration Pills, but the effect was only about 60% of the original.
Professor Smith thought that Liu Muqiao and his team's unique tricks were firstly puncture and secondly Huatuo Regeneration Pill.
Who knew there was also a powerful traditional Chinese medicine preparation, a traditional Chinese medicine extract, which can promote awakening, repair cranial nerves, and reduce edema.
This extract is extracted from three drugs: saffron, Tianqi, and Gastrodia elata, and then combined together, it greatly improves the healing speed of stroke patients.
This extract is only a hospital preparation and is still far away from being officially launched. It can be said that once it is launched, the treatment of stroke patients will make great progress.
However, the drug research and development cycle is very long. To develop a drug, a five-year cycle is considered very fast.
The medicine developed based on Liu Muqiao's ancient prescription was particularly effective, so Antai Hospital took a shortcut - applying for hospital preparations.
Hospital preparations are also drugs that can be used legally, but there are strict restrictions. They can only be used in the hospital and are prohibited from being sold to outsiders.
This preparation is a product developed in the central laboratory of the Neuropsychiatric Center. It was used in clinical trials in the second half of last year. So far, a large amount of data has been obtained, proving that the effect is very good and the hospitalization time is greatly shortened.
