Zhang Fan paused for about ten seconds and opened his eyes again.
A hint of regret flashed in his eyes!
Damn it!
I shouldn't have drunk last night!
He already had hypertension, and last night his father-in-law and brother-in-law came to visit, so he reluctantly had a few drinks.
As a result, his head was a bit dizzy at the time, so he quickly took some medicine and slept until noon.
He felt somewhat groggy when he came to work in the afternoon, but fortunately, it didn't affect his diagnosis.
However, the surgery in front of him was putting tremendous pressure on him!
Although the City First Hospital was the best hospital in Jiangcheng, he was also one of the top doctors.
Yet, this arterial dissection aneurysm surgery had already reached level four, plus the patient was only 7 years old.
The difficulty increased instantly!
One could say, this had already surpassed the difficulty range of a level four surgery.
The last time they encountered such a major pediatric cardiovascular surgery was over six months ago.
"Director, are you okay?"
Beside him, Cui Yong couldn't help but lean closer and whispered.
"Director Zhang, why don't you take a rest?"
Qin Feng also advised.
This surgery was no joking matter; not a single mistake could be made.
"It's fine, let's continue."
Zhang Fan shook his head, took a deep breath, and a determined look flashed in his eyes.
They had reached the most critical stage of implantation and suturing, and there was no turning back.
It must be completed!
No problems can be allowed!
Having said that, Director Zhang Fan began suturing, first the rear wall, then the front wall.
The blood pressure in the aorta is very high, especially here where it's the main artery supplying the heart.
If the suturing is slightly off, it can easily cause massive bleeding!
Therefore, it must be precise to the extreme, paying attention to making the spacing of the stitches as uniform as possible.
Under such high demands for suturing skills, he also faced the huge issue of limited time.
So,
The ultimate test of basic skills and psychological fortitude had arrived!
Four minutes to complete rear wall suturing...
Four and a half minutes, rear wall suturing basically finished...
The proximal end was about to be sutured.
And at this moment,
Suddenly!
Director Zhang Fan's wrist trembled, his knees went weak, and his body suddenly sank down.
Hiss~
The suture line was abruptly pulled!
The proximal aorta was raised, the hook needle pierced into the artificial blood vessel, and the edge of the aorta tore.
Zhang Fan quickly steadied himself, his face turning pale!
Disaster!
The entire operating room was stunned, as if the heart had stopped.
The artificial blood vessel was gone!
Furthermore, the suture edge of the artery had torn open!
Meaning that all the previous suturing had been invalidated!
"Director Zhang..."
Beside him, Cui Yong quickly reached out to support him, his expression tense.
At this moment, Zhang Fan's heart had already sunk to the bottom.
Out of the total allotted 15 minutes for suturing, only 6 minutes remained!
In these 6 minutes, he needed to complete the repair, replace the blood vessel, and re-suture, but he was already running out of time!
Exceeding 15 minutes would inevitably cause irreversible harm to the patient.
Whole body paralysis!
This was a result the patient's family could in no way accept!
A serious medical incident!
From then on, he was almost certainly blacklisted by the medical industry.
Even the patient's family might fight him to the death!
At this moment,
The entire operating room was silent, a dead silence...
Zhang Fan glanced at Cui Yong beside him, a bitter expression of despair on his face.
He couldn't help; there wasn't anyone in the entire Su Province who could complete it in 6 minutes.
"Director Zhang, please take a rest,"
Suddenly, a hand pried open his hand, took away the clamp, and spoke in a deep voice.
Qin Feng?
Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Fan suddenly trembled all over, a glint of sharpness in his eyes.
That's right!
In this operating room, Qin Feng was the only one with arterial suturing experience!
"Qin Feng, can you do it?"
Zhang Fan, as if finding a savior, grasped his hand, speaking bitterly.
"It's okay, I'll do it."
Qin Feng smiled, nodded, and waving his hand, said,
"Dr. Cui, please take Director Zhang to rest aside."
Zhang Fan was helped to sit aside, his expression filled with hope and tension.
But he knew there was no other way now because his signature was on the surgery sheet.
Signing means any medical accident that occurs is the responsibility of the signatory.
Qin Feng was still a trainee doctor; he couldn't sign it.
But!
Could the situation become worse than it already was?
"Let's begin."
At that moment, both Cui Yong and Director Zhang felt a unique aura emanating from Qin Feng.
Soon, they saw him directly sever the edge of the ruptured arterial vessel.
"Artificial blood vessel."
A new artificial blood vessel was handed to him, and repositioned.
Immediately after, he began re-suturing.
Now he had only 5 minutes and 30 seconds left.
To suture the distal end, proximal end, and restore blood flow, only 6 minutes!
At this moment, Zhang Fan's heart was pounding.
"The last time he spent two minutes creating Chen Deputy Director's miracle."
"Can he actually do it in such a brief time today?"
...
Outside the operating room,
Inside the monitoring room, the little girl's parents also saw the scene, their faces ashen.
Yet they didn't make a fuss or speak; they were just as silent as the operating room.
However, Director Zhou, Dr. Zhao Yitian, and Jinling's Director Liang Donglai were in shock.
Their hearts were almost jumping out of their throats!
One was a colleague, the other a classmate; watching Old Zhang's nearly fatal mistake.
No one dared to speak!
Until Qin Feng replaced Zhang Fan as the lead surgeon, Director Zhou Xianren clenched his fists, his palms already soaked.
Even Zhang Fan himself stepped down, indicating he truly couldn't continue.
And the burden of this surgery was entirely on Qin Feng.
5 minutes~
Director Liang Donglai, nearby, was quite surprised to see Qin Feng replacing his old classmate Zhang Fan.
This doctor seemed very young!
Although covered by a mask and sterile clothing, having been a doctor for years, he could guess roughly at a glance.
This doctor couldn't be over 30 years old!
He was also an authority in cardiac surgery, and Zhang Fan's mistake had essentially declared the surgery a failure.
Even if the little girl survived, it would be a gamble over the degree of paralysis.
What was the intention of replacing him with a young doctor?
However, in the next moment,
Everyone inside and outside the operating room was stunned.
Qin Feng pierced and stitched like lightning, his speed was unbelievably fast!
They couldn't even see the position of the needle and thread, and the needle had already shot out from the edge of the blood vessel.
Swish swish swish~
Qin Feng's finger pressed on the suture line, gave it a gentle pull through the artificial blood vessel, and then a light pull.
The first loop was successfully sutured!
Time: 1 second!
Everyone: ???!!!
"Holy crap!"
Exclamations of shock erupted simultaneously inside and outside the operating room.
This is insane!
How could it be so fast?
Moreover, Qin Feng's technique was extremely steady, without the slightest hesitation!
As soon as the needle pierced through the blood vessel, his ring finger dexterously wrapped the suture and lightly pushed, directly locking it.
At this point, the needle had already pierced through the artificial blood vessel again.
This seemingly effortless move saved at least one-third of the suturing time!
Swish swish swish swish~~~~~~
One minute later,
Qin Feng had smoothly anastomosed the artificial blood vessel and the artery, roughly suturing the shape.
"Is this... the four-quadrant suturing technique?!"
Outside the operating room, Liang Donglai suddenly stood up in surprise.
"What do you mean?"
The man heard him and asked.
"Uh, it's a relatively complex mixed suturing technique, quite complicated..."
Liang Donglai felt a bit embarrassed, unsure how to explain.
Because he had only heard of it but never used it.
The adjacent blood vessels at both ends of a descending aortic aneurysm often become fragile due to degeneration of the elastic fibers of the media.
Using regular suturing can easily cause the vessel wall to tear, resulting in fatal bleeding, endangering life.
Therefore,
cardiovascular experts and institutions worldwide are constantly pursuing better and newer methods.
In hopes of minimizing risks during the suturing process.
And Qin Feng's current suturing method is one of them.
This method is more conducive to the anastomosis and recovery of blood vessels but is quite complex.
Unless it's a surgery with absolute confidence and ample time.
No cardiovascular doctor would choose this method.
This is gambling!
Or perhaps he has this confidence!
"Director Zhou, may I ask the name of this doctor?"
Liang Donglai became unprecedentedly serious, curiously asking Zhou Xianren.
"His name is Qin Feng, he hasn't been at our hospital for long."
Zhou Xianren saw the other party so excited and felt more at ease, replying with a smile.
Even the experts from the province were amazed; it seems Qin Feng has a great chance!
Truly a treasure for our emergency department!
"Qin Feng..."
Liang Donglai pondered for a moment, furrowing his brows, thinking he hadn't heard of any impressive newcomers recently,
"May I ask what department he is in at your hospital? What's his position?"
"He's in our emergency department, currently still an intern doctor."
"Intern doctor?!"
As soon as Zhou Xianren finished speaking, the father of the young girl exploded!
"You dare to let an intern doctor operate on my daughter! I think your hospital doesn't want to work anymore!"
"Mr. Qiao, please calm down!"
Just as the man was about to erupt, Zhou Xianren realized he might have said too much, and suddenly Liang Donglai shouted at the man,
"If you want to save your daughter, sit down and wait!"
Liang Donglai's shout left the man stunned.
What does this mean?
You're the expert I invited; instead of helping me, you're helping them?
"Director Zhou, is he the intern doctor who completed the carotid artery rupture surgery a few months ago?"
Liang Donglai seemed to remember something, pointing at Qin Feng on the monitor in shock.
Zhou Xianren didn't say anything, nodding with a smile.
"Turns out it's him, truly a genius!"
...
Inside the operating room,
Just over two and a half minutes had passed, and the suturing of the front end's anterior wall was nearly complete.
Even Zhang Fan walked over to watch, admiring endlessly in his heart!
This is truly insane!
Of course, the most important thing was the joy!
As Qin Feng smoothly cut the suture short and began distal suturing,
This surgery was back on track.
Next, Qin Feng took only two more minutes to complete the distal vessel anastomosis.
Faster than before!
Clang~
Anastomosis complete!
Remarkably, there was still 1 minute and 30 seconds remaining!
Shock filled the entire operating room and the monitoring room outside!
After simply cleaning the blood accumulation around the vessels, the most crucial part was yet to come.
Gulp~
(Director Zhang Fan, Assistant Cui Yong, and all nurses, Director Zhou Xianren, Dr. Zhao Yitian, and Liang Donglai from the provincial hospital.)
Swallowed a gulp of nervous saliva.
Everyone stared intently at the blood vessel.
Qin Feng held the occlusion clamp, slowly released it, and blood flowed from the distal end into the artificial blood vessel.
"Control the infusion and blood volume, maintain arterial pressure....."
"Administer sodium bicarbonate intravenously to correct metabolic acidosis caused by distal ischemia."
"Prepare to continuously restore arterial pressure....."
Qin Feng, while commanding the nurses, slowly released the last distal occlusion clamp to prevent a sharp drop in blood pressure.
Bright red blood, carrying life, continuously passed through the distal artery, smoothly traversing the artificial blood vessel, and flowed throughout the body....
Time: 14 minutes and 32 seconds!
With 28 seconds left of the stipulated 15 minutes!
He snatched a lively little girl from the hands of death!
Clap clap clap~~~~
Wow~~~~~
In an instant!
The crisp sound of applause resounded almost simultaneously inside the operating room and the monitoring room outside!
All medical staff couldn't help but applaud Qin Feng, with eyes full of endless admiration!
Facing a crisis, he turned the tide!
Saved the surgery with an almost impossible suturing speed!
Everyone understood that this surgery would definitely become a classic case in the hospital, even a learning model!
"Qin Feng, thank you!"
Zhang Fan gratefully looked at Qin Feng, his voice slightly trembling.
Watching the monitor instrument, with blood pressure beginning to fluctuate and aortic pressure gradually recovering until stabilizing,
Everyone's heart settled down.
"You're welcome."
Of course,
The surgery wasn't over yet; next was to close the sternum, stop bleeding, and close the abdominal cavity.
But these are low difficulty tasks; I should be stepping down.
"Director Zhang, can you continue?"
Qin Feng instinctively stepped back, asking.
Zhang Fan nodded forcefully, forcefully patting his shoulder.
"Don't worry! I can!"
After speaking, he retreated and disappeared from the monitor's lens.
One must show off just the right amount!
