At two o'clock in the afternoon, in Operating Theater No. 3, a surgery for congenital heart disease (narrowing of the arteries) was being carried out in an orderly manner.
There were many types of congenital heart disease, and carotid narrowing was only one of them.
Congenital heart disease can be roughly divided into cyanotic or non-cyanotic types, and can also be divided into three categories according to whether there is a bypass: There were no shunts (e.g., pulmonic narrowing, carotid narrowing), left-to-right shunts (e.g., asternal defect, ventricular defect, patent ductus arteosus), and right-to-left shunts (e.g., tetralogy of Fallot, great vessel displacement).
The most serious one was the tetralogy of Fallot.
In the operating theater, the chief physician of the intensive care unit of Hang City First People's Hospital, Lee Chang Ming, and the associate chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, Liu Xuecai, were the chief surgeons.
Wang Xueqin and another doctor from Cardiology Department were his assistants.
The rest were young doctors and interns from the ICU and the Department of Cardiology who came to watch and learn, like Chen Meng.
The glaring shadowless lamp was turned on and shone on the seven-year-old girl on the operating table.
At this moment, the little girl had already been put on a breathing machine, and her eyes were closed as she lay there peacefully.
Since they were only observing and learning, Chen Meng and the others stood far away, so the surgical field was not very clear.
However, Chen Rong was an exception. With the support of the system, he could clearly see every step of the chief surgeon's operation on the patient's heart even if he was standing far away.
At this moment, on the operating table.
"Bring the forceps and the sling over. After the bypass is done, we're going to move the heart.”Lee Chang Ming raised his head and said calmly.
"Don't worry, there's no problem with your blood pressure."
After Lee Chang Ming finished speaking, he and Wang Xueqin started to hang the carotid artery, superior venous cava, and inferior venous cava with a sling.
Then, he used a non-invasive suture to suture the purse-string to fix the Arteriovenous Cannula, and cooperated with the assistant to connect the blood vessels of the heart to the tubes of the Cardiopulmonal Circulation Machine.
Finally, he connected the infusion tube and fixed the connection of the tremor inducing instrument. After the tremor was induced, he infused the heart with a cardiac arrest fluid and used ice chips to protect the heart muscle.
After doing this, Wang Xueqin glanced at Chen Meng and the young doctors who came to the operating theater to learn. He asked,
"Let me test you. Why did you use ice shards in the end?”
"Ice shards…aren't they used to protect the heart muscle?”A female intern blinked her ignorant eyes and muttered.
"Tell me the reason." Wang Xueqin glanced at her in annoyance.
"The reason…the reason is…"
"Because the heart is connected to the circulatory machine, the circulatory machine is used to replace the heart's blood spraying function.
It meant that his heart had to stop beating temporarily for this surgery.
Therefore, at this time, the heart, like many severed limbs without blood supply, needed to be frozen.
Otherwise, after more than eight hours, the heart would completely lose its vitality.
This was the same principle as putting severed limbs in the refrigerator to be frozen.”Chen Meng stared at the operating table as he answered slowly.
"Yes, that's right." Wang Xueqin looked at Chen Meng and nodded with satisfaction.
It seemed that he had a good eye. Judging from the wound that Chen Meng sutured, this young man was worth nurturing.
The operating theater wasn't very big. Hearing Chen Meng's reply, Lee Chang Ming, who was the chief surgeon, also raised his head and glanced at the interns before finally fixing his gaze on Chen Meng.
Wang Xueqin had told Lee Chang Ming about Chen Meng during the ward round in the morning.
Lee Chang Ming didn't believe it at first. What kind of person could make Wang Xueqin keep praising him?
However, when he opened the wound on Bed 23, he realized that it was just as Wang Xueqin had said.
There was an extraordinary talent in their department!
……
After about four hours, with the cooperation of the two chief surgeons and several other assistants, the surgery finally came to an end.
Now, he only needed to suture the chest cavity.
Wang Xueqin whispered into Lee Chang Ming's ear,
"Director, let Chen Meng do the last step of suturing.”
Lee Chang Ming hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. He wanted to see how this young doctor sutured the wound.
When Chen Meng heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
He could participate in the surgery and earn money at the same time. It felt so good!
Most young doctors could only be assistants or participate in suturing in minor surgeries.
Only after learning for two to three months and becoming familiar with it could he perform a major surgery.
Now that Chen Meng had occupied all of them on the first day, it seemed that Dr. Wang and Director Li still thought highly of him.
"Thank you, Director Li." Chen Meng nodded and walked to the operating table.
The other interns behind him were filled with envy and jealousy!
At this moment, under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, Chen Meng put on gloves and took the needle holder from the nurse's hand. He sutured the incision in front of the heart that was exposed to the air bit by bit.
There were actually many ways to suture.
However, Chen Meng believed that the most suitable suture for this surgery should be the figure-8 suture method of simple interrupted sutures.
In other words, treating the patient whose wound had split open in the morning was one of the methods.
Looking at Chen Meng's actions, Wang Xueqin and Lee Chang Ming's eyes flashed with surprise.
They hadn't even said anything, but Chen Meng already knew what kind of suture method to use.
It seemed that she had really put in a lot of effort when she was studying.
The wound in front of the heart was about 8 cm. Chen Meng's hand was very fast. Before anyone could take a closer look, he finished the wound with a '8' word!
Then, his movements were extremely smooth as he received the next '8'.
"Teacher, chief physician, I'm done suturing.”Soon, Chen Meng put down the needle holder and said softly.
" Just…just like that?!" Liu Xuecai, the director of the Cardiology Department, had yet to react and said in shock.
"Yes."
Liu Xuecai carefully looked at Chen Meng's face. He was only a young man in his twenties. How could his suturing skills be so good?!
It was simply fast, accurate, and good!
He was like an experienced surgeon!
