Zhou Sheng was determined to fight this tumor to the end without any compromise.
Although Zhou Shengsheng could choose an easy and risk-free surgical plan to partially remove the tumor and cope with the surgery before him.
But Zhou Yisheng did not approve of this perfunctory plan.
Zhou Shengsheng decided to perform extracorporeal circulation on Jing Xinghai to prepare for the next step of complete tumor removal.
Zhou Shengsheng looked at the comatose Jing Xinghai and thought that if Jing Xinghai was awake at this time, given his character, he would definitely support his decision.
Extracorporeal circulation is also called cardiopulmonary bypass.
This is an important life support method that started in the 1960s and matured in the 1980s and 1990s.
In some complex heart operations, if you want to perform the operation, you must ensure that the heart cannot beat. Because if the heart beats, a large amount of blood will spurt out when the heart is cut, and the surgical field will not be able to see the situation at all, and there is no way to operate at all.
.
But if the heart stops beating for 5 minutes, the brain will die. Even after the operation, the person has become a vegetative state. In this case, the meaning of the operation is lost.
For this reason, the technology of extracorporeal circulation was born. It drains the purple oxygen-deprived blood in the body into the machine through the upper and lower vena cava cannula, and then the blood turns into bright red through the "oxygenator" connected to oxygen.
Colored arterial blood is pumped back into the aorta through a rolling pump to supply the needs of tissues throughout the body.
It can be said that the human heart is temporarily replaced with artificial equipment through surgery.
You can know it through a simple introduction.
Although this is just a life support technology.
But its difficulty can be said to be the most difficult among all life support projects.
To put it simply, this is a simplified version of heart transplantation technology.
Use artificial hearts to replace human hearts.
Although it is a simple version, the difficulty is imaginable.
I want to master this technology skillfully.
Without a skill that has been honed in the mind for more than ten years, it is difficult to perform this operation.
For example, at this moment, Wang Xiaoming and Zhao Feihu are standing on the operating table.
Wang Xiaoming has been working at the Central Hospital for six or seven years.
As long as cardiac surgery does not involve extracorporeal circulation, he can basically do it independently.
But he has never done extracorporeal circulation independently.
I just tried it under the guidance of Director Cao and Director Tian.
As for Zhao Feihu, he was the most senior surgeon outside of his heart.
It has been more than ten years since I came to the Central Hospital.
If in an emergency, he has the ability to complete the operation of extracorporeal circulation independently, but in reality, he has never operated completely independently.
Generally speaking, cardiac surgeries involving extracorporeal circulation are difficult cardiac surgeries.
These surgeries are basically monopolized by cardiac surgeons at the level of Director Cao and Director Tian. In this kind of surgery, Zhao Feihu can only help out.
Zhou Sheng asked the doctor for extracorporeal circulation.
The entire operating room immediately became busy.
This is an operating room dedicated to cardiac surgery.
All equipment required for extracardiac surgery is basically available.
The equipment nurse quickly brought over extracorporeal circulation equipment.
The entire equipment is on a push stand that is as tall as one person.
It seems that the pipes above are a bit complicated. When you first look at them, you feel a bit dazzled.
When Cao Xin saw this device being rolled out, he felt very heavy.
Outside the heart, he also stayed for nearly a year.
Thanks to his uncle Cao Xiangwen's favor, although he didn't have many opportunities to operate, he visited and learned a lot of extracardiac surgeries.
Whenever this device is pushed out during surgery.
Cao Xiangwen knew that the operation would not be over until it lasted for more than five or six hours.
And there was no time when this device was launched.
The surgery usually only takes three or four hours to be completed.
The difference between the two can be clearly distinguished from the time of surgery.
The difference can also be seen from the operating personnel.
When using this equipment, the chief surgeon is usually of the uncle's level.
Those who don’t use this equipment are basically at the level of Wang Xiaoming and Zhao Feihu.
If he were usually in the operating room, Cao Xin would still like to see the appearance of this device.
This means that he is undergoing a difficult heart surgery.
As a newcomer who is seeking knowledge on the road of becoming a doctor, Cao Xin certainly hopes to be exposed to the most difficult surgeries.
Just like several interns at the moment.
When they heard Zhou Sheng said that he was going to undergo extracorporeal circulation, several people's faces were obviously a little excited.
However, at this moment, Cao Xin's mood was very different from usual.
Lying on the operating table is Jing Xinghai, his friend. At this moment, he hopes not to use extracorporeal circulation equipment.
He even hoped that after Zhou Yisheng could cut open the pericardium, remove the tumor with a few simple cuts, and then declare the operation a success.
But he also knew that Jing Xinghai's condition was impossible to be like that.
Not many doctors like to overdo it, especially in the operating room.
After being put on extracorporeal circulation, Cao Xin understood that Jing Xinghai would face a life-and-death test.
Thinking of this, Cao Xin's heart suddenly tightened. Suddenly, he felt that his heart was beating hard and his hands and feet were a little cold.
Cao Xin knew that he was nervous.
This feeling is similar to the feeling I had when I first entered the operating room.
At that time, I was a complete rookie. Although I was only visiting and studying in the operating room, I was inevitably nervous.
But as he often goes in and out of the operating room, Cao Xin hasn't felt this nervous for a long time.
I was nervous today entirely because the people on the operating table were so familiar.
At this time, Cao Xin thought of something. Zhou Yisheng also knew Jing Xinghai. If he performed surgery on Jing Xinghai, would it affect his judgment on the surgery because he knew Jing Xinghai?
to be honest.
Because of these few interactions, Zhou Sheng and Jing Xinghai are already familiar with each other.
Although I don't have the feeling of being an old friend, I can still be considered a friend.
The feeling of operating on someone you know is definitely different from operating on a stranger.
During surgery, the operator must be very calm.
But emotions are the things that most easily affect people's judgment.
There is a saying that goes, machines never make mistakes, but people always make mistakes.
People have emotions and feelings, and they are often influenced by their emotions and make wrong judgments. Machines, on the other hand, are cold and ruthless.
Just like Zhousheng's system, it diagnoses each patient's condition without any emotion at all. It will never say to the patient or family, "I'm sorry, we tried our best."
This is where its power lies.
Zhou Yi could never do this.
When deciding whether to give Jing Xinghai extracorporeal circulation just now, Zhou Sheng hesitated.
But Zhou Yisheng has a heart to save people.
The extracorporeal circulation equipment was ready, and Monday became vivid...
