Chapter 192 Vegetative State(1/2)
Liu Miqiao's brainstem puncture was once again successful. Not only did the Department of Neurology cause a sensation, but several professors from the Department of Neurosurgery also came to inquire about the news.
"Is it true?"
"It's absolutely true! If you don't believe it, go to bed 45 in Ward 4 and have a look. You don't even need to enter the intensive care unit."
The reason for not going to the intensive care unit is not because of the condition, but because there are no beds in the intensive care unit.
"I still want to see is to believe."
After saying that, Professor Jiang from the Department of Neurosurgery insisted on seeing the patient.
"Professor Tao from your department just left. First of all, I don't believe him."
Professor Jiang did not argue and went straight to bed 45 in Ward 4.
When I saw it, I was surprised.
He was trying to do the orbital depressor reflex, but unexpectedly, the patient's eyes were wide open and he was looking at him.
"Are you awake?"
"Just woke up."
The person who answered was Liu Muqiao. He had just finished his meal, checked on the patient, and was about to go back.
"Are you his family member?"
An old man next to him quickly said: "He is not a family member, but Dr. Liu, the surgeon."
"Are you Liu Muqiao?"
"Yeah."
"I want to see his CT film."
The family members quickly took it out.
This is the fifth time I have taken out CT scans.
"Hiss! You are really brave. How dare you do this?" Professor Jiang was surprised, "How many have you done in total?"
"The third one."
"All alive?"
"Alive."
"This is strange. Can you tell me the trick?"
Professor Jiang is a well-known expert in neurosurgery and a fierce warrior who dares to break through. He has broken through the brain stem, but if he breaks through once, he will die.
"Actually, it's just a precise word, a correct route, and if you go through it without missing a beat, the possibility of death will be so small that you may not die."
Professor Jiang sighed, "Only a genius like you can do it. Puncture is not missing even an inch. How can anyone do it?"
"No, I think it is possible for Wu Di."
"Wu Di? How about not mentioning him? He is crazy! Who dares to learn from him? With 100 brains and three years of research, you can't even think about it."
Wu Di is a legend in the Affiliated Hospital. He has been engaged in research for 3 years and dissected 100 brains. How did he get 100 heads?
At that time, he was obsessed with dissecting the human brain. He ate pickled vegetables and dried radish for three years, which caused him to suffer from iron deficiency anemia. He wore several old clothes from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and his whole body smelled of formalin.
All the bonus money was invested in buying specimens.
Therefore, when Liu Muqiao mentioned Wu Di, Professor Jiang stuck out his tongue.
"Liu Muqiao, I have a patient who has a cyst on his brain stem for three years. Do you dare to touch it?" Professor Jiang was completely conquered.
"You have to be more detailed."
"Three years ago, a patient in a car accident suffered a brain contusion, brainstem injury, and was in a vegetative state. Now upon examination, a cyst has formed in the brainstem. We estimate that this cyst is compressing the brainstem. If we remove it, the patient may wake up.
”
Liu Muqiao quickly retrieved the knowledge in his mind.
It was found that 7 similar vegetative people became vegetative because the cyst compressed the brain stem. Only one of them woke up because the cyst ruptured on its own.
"Okay, I can try."
……
Neurosurgery quickly launched general consultation.
This is a must.
As a teaching hospital, even if it is to gain one-time experience, you must complete certain procedures and complete certain procedures.
This vegetative person has had countless consultations, including no less than ten consultations in the whole hospital. To put it harshly, this is the main reason why this patient can survive to this day. Otherwise, he would have suffered from pneumonia or pneumonia long ago.
Thrombosis is dead.
The reason why the affiliated hospital went all out to rescue this patient was not at all because they hoped to cure him one day, but purely out of a doctor's instinct and professional habit.
Many times, the patient is already dead, and there is no point in resuscitating him. The doctor will also make some efforts, and artificial cardiopulmonary resuscitation often means this.
The family members of this vegetative patient had already given up long ago. They later lost interest in consultation and only fulfilled their obligation to visit the ward once a day.
They said that all treatment plans are decided by the hospital, and they even gave up the right to sign.
The conference was held in the Neurosurgery Demonstration Classroom, with a total of 13 departments participating. There were 32 consultation experts including deputy chief physicians and above in the department.
Although everyone knows that it is just a formality, the tradition of the affiliated hospital must be adhered to. In other words, even if it is a formality, it must be done in a similar way.
That is to say, we must be serious about the eight classics.
Medical records reported.
The attending doctor reported the current situation and the purpose of this consultation.
"What! Puncture cyst?"
As the attending doctor finished his report, there was a buzzing sound below for a while.
Professor Jiang coughed twice and said: "I also had a sudden idea. Since the brain stem is not necessarily a restricted area of life, then if we puncture this kind of cyst and relieve the pressure on the brain stem, will the patient wake up? Of course.
, please discuss whether it is feasible or not."
There's another buzzing sound below.
Someone has spoken.
It's not a formal statement, but a question.
"Is there any precedent for this?"
"No."
"Since it doesn't, I think it's unlikely because the nerve fibers have been compressed for too long and can no longer restore function."
"Yes, yes, the oppression has been too long."
"It makes no sense."
"It's best not to take the risk."
"Yes, this risk is not worth taking."
……
Liu Muqiao is watching the MRI film.
He spent much more time watching MRI films than others.
The other professors all watched it for a while and then left. It’s not that they were not serious. They had watched these films many times and would bring them out for every consultation.
Someone also noticed him.
"This guy is so immersed in watching MRI films."
"It's more serious than watching that kind of movie."
"Watching anime?"
"Are you watching an action movie?"
"Do you think he can understand it?"
……
It did take a long time to watch, a full half an hour.
"Let me make a speech."
The serious speech began.
The first person to speak was Professor Zhou from the Department of Neurosurgery. He and Professor Jiang have similar qualifications. They are one year apart. One is a graduate student from Xiangya Hospital and the other is a graduate student from Tongji Hospital. In neurosurgery, they are the absolute main force.
p>
They are the main force and have the same qualifications. Naturally, competition is inevitable. Since there is competition, the relationship will usually be tense. This is easy to understand.
It’s easy to understand. During the consultation, the smell of gunpowder will be stronger.
