At six o'clock in the morning, the inpatient department of Gusu First Hospital.

Director Li of the respiratory department led a huge ward to a large ward.

"The patient's name is Zhang Desheng, right?"

"Yes, it's me!"

Lao Zhang, who was lying on the bed, was gently pushed by a nurse.

The daughter who was sleeping soundly on the bedside of the escort, woke up when she heard the movement.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was shocked to see so many doctors.

"Doctor, my dad won't have any problems?"

Director Li smiled and explained, "Your father hasn't even started the operation yet. If there is any problem, we'll just have a routine preoperative examination."

"The organ transplant surgery will be performed at 10 o'clock in the future. You are ready. We started fasting as doctor's orders at 9 o'clock last night?"

"This is not a trivial matter. If you eat something secretly, just say it. We will revise the operation time. Otherwise, the operation will fail because of this incident, and you will be in tears."

After taking the oxygen inhaler, Lao Zhang waved his hand and said, "I didn't eat or eat, let alone eat, I didn't even drink water."

"Well, that's good. Do you feel any discomfort in your body?" Director Li continued to ask.

Lao Zhang touched his chest, pulled the corner of his mouth, and forced a smile: "It's still the same thing, and I feel like I'm leaking when I breathe, and I can't breathe."

"Well, this is a normal situation for pneumoconiosis, it's okay."

Director Li just nodded and did not say anything like, such as he would recover after this operation and would become healthy after changing his lungs.

You can't say this nonsense. Before the operation, no doctor dared to guarantee that the operation will be successful and will be very effective.

What's more, this is a medical clinical trial, and the risk is even higher. If the patient and his family are given too much psychological comfort, once an accident occurs in the operation, it will cause secondary psychological harm to the patient himself and his family.

So without 100% success, doctors will not make any expectations casually.

These are all valuable experiences obtained by doctors over the past century!

After a brief check on the room and leaving a bed doctor, Director Li and his group left the ward again.

Naturally, they did not disband on the spot, but went to a conference room together to conduct pre-operative preparation meetings.

Even in the First Hospital of Gusu, this lung transplant surgery is a very high-standard operation. It requires joint consultation between respiratory departments, intensive care departments, and extracorporeal circulation groups and jointly formulate surgical plans.

In advance, they had been discussing for a week and came up with a reliable surgical plan, but before the operation, they still needed routine and had the last preoperative discussion.

After the discussion on the surgical plan is over, everyone eats something to solve their respective physiological needs. The time is almost nine o'clock and they can start preparing for the operation.

This operation will be personally performed by the director of the respiratory department of the First Hospital of Gusu City, and Director Li is the doctor who has performed the most lung transplants in the First Hospital of Gusu City.

He has undergone nearly 100 lung transplants in the past 30 years in medical practice, and he can undergo an average of 2-3 lung transplants a year.

This frequency is already very good. You should know that it is difficult to find donors for organ transplantation. Unless it is a central hospital that specializes in organ transplantation, it would be amazing to have more than a dozen or twenty organ transplant surgeries in a year in an ordinary Grade A hospital.

This is the sum of all organ transplant surgeries. It is already good that Director Li can perform two or three lung transplants a year.

At least in Gusu City, it is already one of the top lung transplant experts. After all, Gusu is too close to the Demon City. Patients who really want to undergo such large-scale surgery usually go to Demon City. In the Demon City, there are several masters who can perform more than ten lung transplant surgeries a year...

However, considering that Ruikang's organ cultivation is carried out in Gusu City, in order to leave more golden transplant time, directly performing surgery in Gusu City is the best choice.

The First Hospital of Gusu City is also an old partner, so Director Li’s ability is still trustworthy.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Desheng, who had been fasting for a long time, was pushed into the sterile operating room.

One helps, two helps, three helps, anesthesia and instrument nurses, and circuit nurses were all present to form a complete large-scale surgical team.

In the observation room next to the operating room, twenty or thirty doctors from respiratory and other departments came to watch.

This is the first transplant surgery in Gusu City, and even in China, the world using artificially cultivated organs. Such a profound and memorable operation, people who can meet the conditions will definitely come to observe it!

Even CCTV sent a team to set up many cameras in the operating room to record the operation. This is extremely precious and even has historical memorial video materials!

After everything was ready, the anesthesiologist solemnly put an oxygen hood on Lao Zhang and gave it an inhalation anesthesia.

In just over ten seconds, Lao Zhang felt confused and lost consciousness...

Then there is a routine operation, opening the abdomen and establishing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which is commonly known as the ecmo device.

This thing is not cheap.

With an ecmo sound, there are tens of millions of taels of gold!

There are only 260 hospitals in China that can do ecmo, and there are only 264 in the United States.

This ecmo machine costs one or two million yuan per unit, the cost of starting up is 70,000 yuan, and it costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a day during use. It is an expensive instrument used to provide patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure with continuous external breathing and circulation to maintain the patient's life.

Now it can be built in China, but the cost of this thing costs so much money will not be reduced for a while.

If Lao Zhang had not participated in Ruikang's clinical trial and did not have to pay the surgical expenses by himself, he would definitely not be able to afford ecmo. This thing is not included in medical insurance and he would have to pay for it at his own expense.

It costs 100,000 yuan to start the operation!

This is also the reason why most organ transplant surgeries are expensive. The medical equipment used is the most cutting-edge equipment in the world. How can this cost not be high!

After establishing an external circulation for Lao Zhang, two power pumps (artificial heart) and oxygenator (artificial lungs) replaced his heart and lung function, without independent breathing, and blood oxygenation is carried out through the lungs.

At this time, the operation can officially begin.
Chapter completed!
