Anyone who has undergone orthopedic surgery knows how troublesome it is to deal with bones. In the early stages, the muscles attached to the bones are strong, unlike the soft objects once the abdominal cavity is opened. It is impossible to use a retractor immediately after going down, and you can only use small tools to slowly release the bones.
The middle bend is used to do something like a retractor, pulling and prying open the incision to expose a small open field of vision for the doctor to operate as much as possible. Adults have difficulty operating here, and children are young and have small bones, so this limitation is even more severe.
Pan Shihua's eyes widened. He had only seen abdominal surgeries before, and this was his first time experiencing non-abdominal surgery. He really felt like he was experiencing an upgraded version of the surgery.
Unlike him, Xie had experienced pediatric surgery and read about cardiothoracic surgery, so he was much calmer. He directly stretched out his hand and said to the surgeon, "Doctor Duan, let me help you open it."
Duan Sanbao looked at her with his round eyes and handed the middle bend to her.
Student Pan could read the doubt in the surgeon's eyes towards Student Xie: Do you have the strength?
It turns out that when Duan Sanbao was assisting Xie with the intubation, he took the initiative to use a vascular clamp to pull open the incision because he was afraid that Xie would not have enough strength. Retractors require strength. Don't think that using a curved clamp to make a retractor is small and does not require strength. Wrong. The small incision here does not mean that the surrounding human tissue is gone. The surrounding human tissue is the same as being pulled open. To be precise, it is more laborious than a retractor. At least a retractor is easy to hold with the whole hand or even the whole body, while a curved retractor is difficult to hold with only fingers.
Duan Sanbao's suspicion was well-founded, but Duan Sanbao didn't know that Xie was a top athlete in their class who could arm wrestle with the boys. Pan immediately had an idea in his mind and watched the others fall like the boys in their class.
Xie took over the middle elbow and inserted it into the upper edge of the sternum quickly and accurately. Others were instantly amazed by her lightning-fast movements.
...
...
Everyone was shocked at first by the ferocity she showed as a girl, thinking that it was like being super fierce. But in fact, it was not, she didn't force it at all, she was not a hard-line person, she was a gentle person, she really saw the right spot and pressed it in between the flesh and bones. The insertion was accurate, there was no obstruction, and it was definitely faster than hard insertion.
When the group of people realized this, they all opened their mouths in surprise: This?
Duan Sanbao's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, Xie had no difficulty in using the middle bend to open up the surgical field for him.
The pressure rolled back from the assistant to the surgeon in charge.
Duan Sanbao understood why teachers like to play soft music instead of hard music, because the surgeon needs a balanced mindset. Sometimes a good assistant is urging the surgeon unconsciously.
The nurse took another look and decided that there was no need to play Courage anymore, so she quickly changed it to a soothing piano piece.
The music changed, and everyone adjusted their mentality. There was no need for a rush of ** at this moment, but to be cautious. There were too many large blood vessels nearby.
The surgeon picked up the electric knife, cut the periosteum on the sternum in the exposed surgical field, and cleaned the nearby ligaments.
The first and second assistants, who had never worked with the main surgeon before, suddenly heard the main surgeon mumbling something in his heart.
"There is the transverse jugular vein here, and there is an innominate vein on the left side behind. There are more small venous masses here—"
