Chapter 1024: 【1024】Anesthesiologist also at a loss

This Xie Wanying, has suddenly become so impressive, completely beyond his expectation.

Thinking back to when he boasted in front of her, saying she could come to him anytime for help with anesthesia, Zhang Tinghai now felt a bit uneasy.

What to do?

He must swallow the bold claims he made in front of her.

Zhang Tinghai pulled himself together and said, "Doctor Fu, please explain this technique to me first."

"You’re not familiar with this indicator, I will monitor it," Fu Xinheng saw his condition at a glance, "I will insert the probe."

The surgical steps proceeded as planned, only a TEE intraoperative monitoring was added temporarily, which didn’t greatly affect the well-planned surgery.

The equipment was urgently dispatched to the operating room, where an ultrasound probe was inserted into the patient’s esophagus. Section Chief Yang curiously stood by, watching the transesophageal echocardiogram with a group of doctors.

Compared to TTE, TEE is closer to the heart and seems to provide more accurate data from multiple planes.

"Could this be an issue with the right atrial appendage?" Section Chief Yang pointed out an abnormal data and asked.

Unexpectedly, Section Chief Yang seemed quite knowledgeable about cardiothoracic surgery, recalling that the leader had experience in this specialty.

When the leader asked, Fu Xinheng seriously responded, "The ventricular wall is quite thick, causing the cardiac chamber to be quite small, and the blood flow output to be small. This may lead to some subsequent reactions. It indicates that her heart has some issues, but they are not very severe. However, it is indeed her heart condition that has exacerbated the tumor’s effects."

"It means that the previous regular echocardiograms did not detect these issues," Section Chief Yang, with his hands on his hips, remarked, glancing at Xie Wanying, remembering that they admitted it was her suggestion.

"The difference is not big, but having the opportunity to do this would definitely make the surgery more stable," said Fu Xinheng.

Laparoscopic surgery needed to start with exploration.

Tao Zhijie acted as the chief surgeon. Xie Wanying went outside to scrub her hands because Senior Tao asked her to come up as the mirror assistant. The first assistant was Senior He, with Doctor Song standing by.

The monitor displayed the image inside the patient’s abdomen. Section Chief Yang, Fu Xinheng, and Zhang Tinghai, their attention was entirely focused on the TEE image.

Accompanied by some fluctuating data, it was clear that this device was playing a potentially huge role during the surgery, Zhang Tinghai thought with astonishment.

"Doctor Zhang, you might need to adjust the medication," Fu Xinheng reminded the anesthesiologist.

Zhang Tinghai busily, and nervously, proceeded with the lack of his usual confidence, only carefulness remained. If the medication wasn’t adjusted in time, considering the patient’s condition, the surgery might result in the patient being unable to be weaned off the ventilator.

The surgical team’s attention was all on the operating table, hence, no one noticed the videographer adjusting the camera lens.

The camera team just followed Section Chief Yang’s previous instructions, acting upon his commands. Although Section Chief Yang didn’t make a sound, they figured out where Section Chief Yang’s focus was and where the camera should be aimed accordingly.

The live surgery scenes on the screen in the hall linked to the operating room had been rolling for a while.

The two previous surgeries had started first, and the live feeds were displaying those two surgeries.

The atmosphere in the venue went from being excited before it started, to becoming quiet when it began, and now, this quiet seemed a bit unusual. Carefully observing the expressions of the doctors below, it seemed that the initial high spirits were no longer visible on their faces.
