"It's OK." After completing the last step, Xie Wanying's voice couldn't help but become a little hoarse.
The little girl finally realized that she was sweating. Cao Zhao, who was standing opposite her, took a rest and naturally exchanged feelings with her, becoming the one who was refreshed.
"Okay, prepare to restore the heartbeat." Cao Zhao gave instructions.
After receiving the order from her son, Ye Sujin sat back on the stool, preparing to gradually warm up the baby and resume extracorporeal circulation.
The machine is working.
If the child's heart resumes beating, the heart rate data on the ECG monitor will not be a straight line but an undulating ECG waveform.
Everyone in the operating room waited and watched:
Your heart isn't beating?
Lin Hao and Pan Shihua were startled. They turned their heads again and again, looking back and forth between the ECG monitor and the operating table to determine what was wrong.
...
...
Doctor Cheng Yuchen approached the operating table and looked around nervously, his heart pounding like it was about to rain:
If the heart fails to beat, it means the child will die on the operating table.
This is the most terrifying scene in cardiac surgery. Other surgeries are not as intuitive as cardiac surgery, which allows doctors to see the heart die right before their eyes.
Lin Hao looked at Pan Shihua. It was his first time watching a heart surgery and he wondered if it would be like this often.
Pan Shihua's face turned pale. After working in the Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery for so long, this was definitely the first time he had seen such a situation on the operating table, and it was a key step in the operation performed by Xie.
This made him dare not think further.
Is your heart not beating?
Everyone inside and outside the operating room was talking about it.
Liu Jingyun was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She was running around like an ant. Now she needed to do something. Boss Ye, please give me some instructions.
Ye Sujin jumped up from her chair, anxious.
Cao Yudong held his wife and asked her to calm down: our son is watching us.
Cao Zhao only knew that his little sister was about to graduate from school, and after leaving him, she would go to his brother's place to be a student. This situation was bound to happen sooner or later. Today, as an older brother, he would help his younger brother to bear the consequences, so that his younger brother would not be embarrassed in the future when he encountered such a situation.
Death on the operating table is the most extreme surgical table situation and a surgeon's nightmare. If you are a surgeon, you need to be mentally prepared to deal with such a day at any time.
There was no need for him to worry, the little sister started to move quickly.
If the heart isn't beating, perform CPR immediately.
Xie Wanying's eyes widened for two seconds before her gloved right hand immediately reached into her chest and grasped the baby's little heart.
This little heart is in her palm, and the emotions are like a balloon that can burst at any time.
Recalling what the textbook taught, the thumb and thenar of the right hand are placed in front of the heart, and the other four fingers are placed behind the heart. Be careful to the point that sweat is forming between your brows, and concentrate on reminding yourself not to pinch the heart with your fingertips, as that will hurt the heart muscle. The frequency of doing chest compressions does not need to be as high as that of external chest compressions, and the number of intermittent compressions of the heart is 60 to 70 times per minute.
Press, press, press—
Once you feel the little heart in your palm showing signs of fibrillation, quickly shout: "Defibrillation!"
Everyone around the operating table could hear the emotions she was trying hard to suppress in her voice.
Intrathoracic defibrillation directly contacts the heart, and the energy is much lower than that of external defibrillation, which is five joules for children. The number of defibrillations is much stricter than that of external defibrillation, and it cannot be done randomly. The more you do it, the more likely it is to damage the dead myocardium.
