Chapter 1072 During the Operation
It sounds simple, but it is not simple to actually do it.
For other "dead holes" where no blood passes, the heart must be temporarily stopped before being blocked.
"Start extracorporeal circulation."
Extracorporeal circulation machines are actually what we often call artificial hearts and artificial lungs. They can replace the beating of the human heart and the work of the lungs during surgery.
The operation was in full swing, and time passed slowly.
The entire operation was already halfway through, taking nearly three hours.
Outside the operating room, family members were waiting anxiously.
But no matter how anxious he is, it's of no use. He can't see what's going on inside, let alone hear what's going on inside.
Not only was the operating room anxious, but everyone else who received the news couldn't calm down at the moment.
In China, several professors were sitting together in the office of the research office of the Department of Medicine at Peking University, each looking more anxious and excited than the other.
It's late at night here right now!
As usual, several old professors had already rested, but tonight, they didn't feel sleepy at all.
One of the professors drank two cups of herbal tea one after another without letting himself calm down:
"How did the operation go?" He asked.
"Girl Jiang hasn't received any news yet. She should still be undergoing surgery."
"Hey, how long do we have to wait?"
"We still want to know!"
Who doesn’t want to know?
joke!
"Don't be anxious, just wait!"
There is nothing you can do except wait.
Nearly two hours have passed, Country M, Joseph Laboratory operating room.
"Successfully blocked!" The assistant's tone was full of excitement.
All the holes were successfully blocked, how could we not be excited?
Jiang Tingxu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief:
"Well, we can start closing the atrial incision. Give me a 5/0 slip suture."
"Give."
The sliding sutures used for suturing the incisions of the left and right atria are different, 5/0 is used for the right atrium, and 3/0 is used for the left atrium.
"Open the superior and inferior vena cava."
"yes."
"Open aortic clamp."
"alright."
Everyone was cautious in their movements, and now they were holding their breath, waiting for the patient's heartbeat to resume on its own.
However, after waiting for a while, the expected spontaneous heartbeat did not arrive.
"Electric shock resumption, extracorporeal circulation machine assisted perfusion."
"Prepare for electric shock, prepare for infusion, start."
boom!
boom!
"Didi. Didi."
The monitor next to me started beeping.
"The re-jump was successful!"
Everyone cheered instantly.
However, this is not the time for everyone to relax. Jiang Tingxu has been paying attention to the patient's condition until all test indicators are normal.
"The extracorporeal circulation machine can be shut down!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
"The first assistant pulled out the left heart drainage tube, connected the left heart suction to the perfusion tube and exhausted it with countercurrent flow. The second assistant retracted the upper chamber cannula into the right atrium and rewarmed it to a rectal temperature of 35 degrees Celsius."
"receive!"
"receive!"
Jiang Tingxu personally pulled out the perfusion tube, pulling out the inferior vena cava tube and superior vena cava tube at once. The order was different from before, and there was no mistake.
After extubation, the purse string was knotted. Fortunately, there was no need to suture it again.
"Central venous drip, protamine neutralized heparin in the aortic root."
The nurse received the order and immediately started taking action.
"Bear paw tweezers."
"Give."
The aortic cannula was removed, the purse string was tied, and then the thoracic and pericardial mediastinal drainage tubes were implanted.
"Tap the item."
"receive."
The nurse began to count all the items, including the gauze that had turned into balls of blood one by one:
"The quantity is correct."
