Medical Path Chapter 539: Broken jar? Everyone’s heart was in their throats, fearing that the surgeon would accidentally make a fatal mistake.
Rebuilding fragile blood vessels is like writing on the tip of a needle...
When Shi Kangya was undergoing the operation, everyone was in a good mood. Now that it was Zhao Yuan's turn to perform this critical part, the mood was like a roller coaster.
Will Zhao Yuan create another miracle and reach the top level of well-known experts in the province in the field of pediatric heart?
Or will he fall here and his zero failure rate record come to an end?
Of course, as a doctor, no matter how unhappy Zhao Yuan is, he does not want to see the operation fail.
Their compassionate professional ethics made them silently cheer for Zhao Yuan at this moment!
In the hospital, doctors have seen all kinds of people and had various experiences, and have developed a numb heart.
However, when facing a child, facing a budding life, one will still be softened.
The baby girl had just come into this world, and she hadn't even had time to see the world clearly. When the pain struck, she couldn't speak or express with her body, and could only endure the pain that even adults couldn't bear.
Sometimes surgeons feel uncomfortable operating on children, especially on infants.
There are many types of congenital heart disease. No matter which type, the younger the age, the milder the symptoms, and the older the age, the more obvious the symptoms.
Therefore, the sooner interventional treatment is available, the better; otherwise, they will often wither quickly by the time they reach their flowering age of 17 or 18 years old.
It's a terrible feeling when your child is so small that he can easily be lifted around with one hand, but you can't solve his pain.
In the chain of contempt in the medical community, those in the Department of Internal Medicine look down on those in the Department of Infectious Diseases, and those in the Department of Surgery look down on those in the Department of Internal Medicine. Adult doctors look down on pediatric doctors, and pediatricians are unwilling to do pediatric surgery.
This is true even for large hospitals like Tianhua. Therefore, when encountering diseases involving pediatric surgery, the patient's family members will choose other hospitals if they have connections, or invite top experts from other hospitals for cross-hospital consultation.
Adult hearts have a certain amount of room to adjust, but with an almond-sized heart, there is really no possibility of error. If it works, it will work, and if it doesn’t, it won’t work!
In addition to the skills of the surgeon, the skills of the assistants are also critical.
As the operation entered the middle stage, Shi Kangya was a little glad that he chose Zhao Yuan as his assistant.
This guy's basic skills are incredible.
It was obviously my first time to perform a pediatric cardiac surgery, but my movements were mature and my operations were delicate, like a skilled hand who had hundreds of surgeries.
Shi Kangya had known about Zhao Yuan's technique before and was looking forward to his performance, but actually doing surgery with Zhao Yuan felt completely different.
He actually put pressure on himself.
It also inspired Shi Kangya's competitive spirit.
Shi Kangya is close to sixty years old this year, and has actually passed the peak of his career as a surgeon.
Although he relies on experience and is still active in front-line work, Shi Kangya knows his physical condition very well. He will only have to undergo surgery for four to five years at most, and then he will have to retreat to the second line.
The god coming down the mountain will feel like a hero and lonely when he sees the people going up the mountain.
Shi Kangya had met outstanding young people before, but he had never felt like facing Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan held a scalpel, and the blood vessels were gently opened under the sharp blade.
Dark red blood slowly seeped out.
Heart repair is actually not that difficult, because the heart muscles contain a lot of water and are very tough, so suturing them is easier than suturing muscles.
However, the heart also has another name called the atrium.
Just like a computer room, it contains the nerve pathways leading to the whole body and the blood vessels that carry blood.
A slight mistake, such as a slightly larger scar during repair, can easily cause blockage.
Use children's ophthalmic equipment, use the thinnest thread, and sew it up bit by bit.
The operation required at least 1,000 stitches. Shi Kangya sutured 500 stitches, and Zhao Yuan had to bear the remaining 500 stitches.
Zhao Yuan finally knew why Shi Kangya asked him to take his place.
Let alone a middle-aged man who has passed his physical prime, even as a young man in his twenties, suturing at extremely fast speeds in such a tense atmosphere is a huge challenge.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Yuan's forehead.
The instrument nurse quickly wiped Zhao Yuan's sweat with a sterile towel.
Shi Kangya was doing bits and pieces of auxiliary work beside him. He was paying attention to the time. Compared with his own sewing speed, Zhao Yuan's speed was obviously faster.
Expect to shave an hour off your time!
Shi Kangya didn’t find it strange!
With the help of Zhao Yuan, Jia Xiuzhang was able to break the domestic record for the first lung transplant operation!
Zhao Yuan was completely immersed in the operation.
He began to slow down.
Speed is important, but the stitching effect is more important.
Finally the blood vessel was sutured!
Zhao Yuan stared at the heart in his hand and observed it carefully. He had to say that this was the best stitch he had ever done.
Although the heart is covered with dense needle holes, the small heart is as delicate as a handicraft.
Shi Kangya praised, "It's very beautiful!"
He was praising the shape of Almond's heart, and also praising Zhao Yuan's superb skills.
Five hours and twenty minutes!
Shi Kangya breathed a sigh of relief. According to his estimate, it would take at least six hours to complete the operation.
Now it is completed forty minutes ahead of schedule, the exposure time is very small, and the probability of success is also increasing!
Shi Kangya's expression is still serious. Next, we have to see whether the sutured heart can resume beating perfectly!
Blood flows into the "almond", changing color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and blood perfuses all blood vessels.
Thumping, thumping, thumping, although weak, it beats stubbornly.
Shi Kangya and Zhao Yuan looked at each other, with excitement in their eyes.
The heart is beating again!
Everyone in the operating room felt suddenly relaxed.
Not surprisingly, the operation ended perfectly!
After more than five hours of fighting, they rescued a baby girl.
Zhao Yuan stared at the little heart, and suddenly a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, "Professor Shi, something is wrong!"
Shi Kangya looked at Zhao Yuan in shock, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice, "The flow rate is wrong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of blood flowed from Xingren's heart.
Then, like a dam bursting, the blood flowed more and more.
The emperor is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry to kill the eunuch!
People in the operating room and observation room began to panic.
Surgery is like this, and accidents often happen.
It looked fine one second, but it might be in danger the next.
Shi Kangya didn't have time to react.
Zhao Yuan pinched the position of the heart with his hands. His strength was not light, and the sutured little heart was pinched with a dent in its appearance.
The onlookers had no idea what was going on and were very shocked.
"What is Dr. Zhao doing? Could it be that he thinks the operation failed and broke the pot?"
"You know nothing! He was using his bare hands to apply pressure to stop the bleeding! He was using external force to make the wound heal quickly."
