Chapter 942 Constraints
The operating room where Yu Zhiming was busy was quite quiet. Only the sound of the micro motor, like the buzzing of a mosquito, echoed in the air.
In the sink to the left of Yu Zhiming, there is a potion containing thrombolytics and other drugs.
These potions are transported into two thin tubes through two precisely controlled pressure water pumps.
There is also a sink on Yu Zhiming's right.
Two long and thin tubes were spraying turbid liquid containing yellow and light red flocs into it.
There was also a water tank in front of Yu Zhiming, which contained nutrient liquid with a temperature maintained at around two degrees Celsius, and a heart the size of an adult's fist was immersed in it.
Yu Zhiming held a guide wire in each hand.
That’s right, in order to save time, Yu Zhiming took a two-pronged approach, holding a guide wire in each hand to perform interventional cleaning of the blood vessels.
Realizing that time was running out, he had no choice but to do so.
In fact, he was left-handed in his early years, but later, under the urging of his family, he got used to using his right hand.
But his left hand is still flexible.
After becoming a doctor and working in the county hospital, Yu Zhiming still frequently performed surgeries, which required both hands to be equally flexible.
This has resulted in Yu Zhiming's left and right hands now having almost the same degree of flexibility.
In addition, he had learned how to multitask during his previous physical examinations, so after a little practice, he was able to basically clean both arteries at the same time...
As the patient is nearly sixty years old and suffers from the severe impact of coronary heart disease, his blood vessel walls have long lost the elasticity and toughness they had in their youth.
This requires Yu Zhiming to carefully control the flushing force when cleaning the attachments on the blood vessel walls, and not allow the probe and guide wire to injure the blood vessels.
In addition to taking two approaches at the same time and multitasking, Yu Zhiming's brain immediately overclocked, and the consumption of nutrients and oxygen increased exponentially compared to before.
In desperation, to prevent himself from suffering from a black screen and a crash due to lack of oxygen, Yu Zhiming asked the operating nurse to put an oxygen tube on him...
In this way, with Yu Zhiming's extreme operation, the patient's coronary artery was cleared in just sixteen minutes.
Of course, this only applies to vessels that the guidewire can enter.
The arteries were too small, so Yu Zhiming could only flush them with medicine.
Then he spent another six or seven minutes quickly cleaning the coronary veins of the heart.
Next, Yu Zhiming used an expansion balloon to expand five obvious narrowed areas of the heart vessels.
Finally, Yu Zhiming carefully irrigated the heart and conducted a detailed examination to ensure that there was no blood vessel blockage caused by the fat blocks that were cleaned out. Then he asked the surgical nurse to send the heart to the operating room next door.
At this point, only twenty-seven minutes had passed from the time the heart was delivered to the time it was taken away.
As for the eight stents implanted in the patient's coronary arteries, Yu Zhiming did not attempt to remove them.
Once a stent is implanted, it is permanent and will fuse with the blood vessel wall.
If it really needs to be removed, it can only be removed through surgery by cutting the myocardium, cutting the blood vessels, and dissecting.
But the patient's fragile heart neither has the time nor can it withstand such torture...
After noon, Yu Zhiming, who had rested for more than an hour, entered the operating room again.
This time I entered Luo Yu's operating room.
Luo Yu, who was busy all the time, raised his eyelids to glance at Yu Zhiming and said, "It will be finished in ten minutes."
Yu Zhiming waited quietly beside the operating table for ten minutes, and then watched the surgical assistants loosen the vascular clamps one after another!
As blood flowed in rapidly, the heart began to tremble and its color became darker.
Luo Yu picked up the heart and examined it, saying, "No bleeding, no leakage, the suture was successful!"
"Change the surgeon!"
Luo Yu raised his voice and shouted, then took a big step to the side to make room for the surgeon.
Yu Zhiming took a step forward and took the position of the surgeon.
From this moment on, Yu Zhiming became the boss of this operating room. It can be said that no one dared to disobey his orders.
He held the heart in his hands and kneaded it gently, just like kneading the face of his beloved.
Everyone in the operating room, including Luo Yu, was silently watching Yu Zhiming's actions.
Especially the surgical assistant on the other side of the operating table, holding two pacing shock pads in his hands, waiting for Yu Zhiming's order to give the patient's heart a shock...
Five minutes later...
Ten minutes later...
Half an hour passed...
Luo Yu didn't expect that he would have to wait for such a long time, but he didn't dare to rush.
After all, Yu Zhiming has proved with countless examples that he has an unbelievable supersensory perception of the heart.
Luo Yu shifted his weight back onto his right foot and continued to watch Yu Zhiming massage the patient's heart...
Forty-six minutes later, Yu Zhiming suddenly released the patient's heart and ordered, "Now!"
After a brief moment of confusion, the surgical assistant hurriedly clamped the heart with a metal plate.
"Everyone, let go..."
"Bang……"
With this bang, my heart felt like it was slapped in the face. It beat twice and then fell silent.
"Everyone, let go..."
"Bang……"
My heart skipped a beat.
"Everyone, let go..."
"Bang……"
The heart beat twice again, followed by a noticeable pause. Just when everyone thought it was time for the fourth electric shock, the heart suddenly beat again.
Another jump, and then another jump...
Yu Zhiming looked at his beating heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least I didn't let you down.
He exchanged glances with Luo Yu, then left the operating table and the operating room...
When Yu Zhiming walked out of the surgical isolation area, more than ten people including the patient's family, Qing Ning, doctors Xiong Jing and Wang Chunyuan surrounded him.
"The heartbeat has returned. Doctor Luo is currently suturing the pericardium. The operation is expected to take another hour..."
Yu Zhiming briefly described the progress of the operation and looked at Dr. Wang, Dr. Xiong and others.
"Wait, you guys should get together with Dr. Luo. I have to go to another place."
After saying this, Yu Zhiming took Qingning's hand and left the surgery waiting area together.
As soon as they left the cardiac surgery department, Qing Ning asked with concern: "Let's go have lunch first. It's already one in the afternoon. You can't stand being hungry."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly, "I'm eager to know the news from Gancaotang. Although I'm hungry, I don't have much of an appetite."
"Let's just go to the cafeteria and have something to eat."
Yu Zhiming, who had no appetite, made do with a meal in the cafeteria. He ate a large bowl of wontons, a braised chicken thigh, a portion of braised beef, a steamed small sea bass, and two vegetarian dishes.
Qing Ning was already accustomed to Yu Zhiming's big appetite, and she slowly finished her bowl of wontons and two other dishes, one meat and one vegetable.
Afterwards, the two walked to the underground parking lot under the comprehensive office building.
"Zhiming, did the operation go smoothly today?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "From the results alone, it's OK, but from the process, it's not smooth."
"I was careless and not well prepared."
"If I weren't considered gifted, today's operation would probably have ended in failure."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming analyzed, "According to common sense, for this first-time operation, I should have a face-to-face meeting with Dr. Luo. We should spend two or three days practicing repeatedly, taking into account all possible issues."
"Instead of rushing into it like we are doing now."
He further analyzed himself: "In the final analysis, repeated success and smooth sailing made me drift, and I lost my vigilance and awe."
"We need to learn from this."
Qing Ning comforted him, "Judging from the results, you succeeded. Also, you're so busy, you probably don't have two or three days of free time to prepare for an operation, right?"
Yu Zhiming said slowly: "Success this time does not mean success next time. Good luck will not always favor me."
"Next time, don't be so perfunctory."
He said solemnly, "Failure due to lack of ability, technical problems, or accidents is acceptable."
"But failures caused by lack of attitude and preparation are unforgivable."
Qing Ning flattered him, "Zhi Ming, your self-reflection and improvement are truly the style of a famous doctor. You will become a great doctor in the near future."
Yu Zhiming reached out and scratched Qing Ning's hair, then said with a smile, "There's no need for such hypocrisy between us."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "Zhi Ming, Dr. Wang said he wants to apply for project support from your charity fund to develop a cardiovascular cleansing drug with Dr. Luo Yu."
"Doctor Wang also said that if this heart-washing surgery could be promoted as a routine procedure, it could significantly reduce heart failure and other diseases caused by coronary heart disease, and alleviate the severe shortage of heart donors."
"Zhiming, do you think this is feasible?"
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "It's feasible, but it's certainly not easy."
"It's a very serious case of coronary heart disease. My heart is severely damaged, and my body is also suffering from many problems. The probability of failure of the operation is very high."
"If the problem isn't serious coronary heart disease, it might be alleviated with medication or dietary adjustments."
"It's hard to grasp this degree."
"Also, this is a major surgery involving heart removal, which sounds scary and is also very expensive. Patients probably won't be very accepting of it."
Qing Ning said, "This is better than having to wait in line for a heart transplant or dying of a heart attack, right?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Most people are just hoping for the best. They're willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a heart transplant because they have no choice."
"But if you ask them to spend 200,000 or 300,000 yuan on a heart-clearing surgery three to five years in advance, they may not be willing to do it."
As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the underground parking lot of the comprehensive office building, got into the Phantom, and left the hospital.
Their destination this time was Gancaotang.
Yu Zhiming was still a little excited.
If the alternative to the Ginseng Xuming Pill could be successfully developed this time, then he would be the only one who could eliminate the limiting factor affecting the treatment of advanced cancer patients...
