Chapter 1039: Debate on Difficulties During Surgery

The exchange included anesthesiologists who came to observe and they were equally impressed: "Intraoperative anesthesia has always been a challenge, especially for surgeries with significant hemodynamic fluctuations. Previously, we tried using the Swan-Ganz catheter for intraoperative monitoring, but it’s expensive and hard to obtain, and it’s invasive for patients, making the timing of catheter placement very difficult to control. We hope that Dr. Tao’s method can cooperate with the anesthesiology department, and we look forward to his arrival at the scene to give us another lecture, and to start such research in various hospitals."

Clinically, only medical procedures that reduce costs can be effectively promoted. Surgeons heard the interdisciplinary voice of the anesthesiologists and felt the significance of today’s surgery for exploring the frontier of technology even more deeply.

They eagerly anticipated Tao Zhijie to start the lecture soon, the atmosphere almost revered him as a deity.

A row of senior doctors from Guoxie General Surgery Department Two looked at the ceiling.

They wondered what if these people eventually found out it wasn’t Tao Zhijie who performed the surgery.

That said, there was a reason these people suddenly became enthusiastic about "Tao Zhijie." Even if they guessed that "Tao Zhijie" might be performing CVP shunt surgery, it was clear that they would encounter the biggest challenge in surgical practice.

"Do you think, how does Dr. Tao analyze and compare these values, and how does he conclude which blood vessel is the best and most suitable for the current patient?"

"We’ve previously studied the relationship between central venous pressure and CVP shunt surgery. Maybe Dr. Tao is using this research as the basis for his surgical demonstration."

"Have you come to a conclusion?"

"Definitely, the lower the central venous pressure, the better, as it means less bleeding."

"Are they comparing it to the method Dr. Tao is currently using in the surgery?"

"No, it’s after the surgery when they do the data analysis, hoping to provide a reference for future surgeries."

"You’re oversimplifying it. Is just taking a lower value enough?"

"It’s preliminary research, far from guiding surgeons in practice. In fact, using Swan-Ganz catheters for measuring pulmonary artery pressure PAP and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure PCWP, or even directly measuring the inferior vena cava pressure IVCP, hasn’t found a breakthrough in research from a statistical standpoint."

Therefore, the real challenge might not be which method to use to monitor a patient’s intraoperative hemodynamic status, but how to calculate and apply it during surgery. Obviously, compared to using Swan-Ganz catheters or central venous catheterization, TEE is undoubtedly much simpler and safer. The problem is that finding research breakthroughs from massive data is even harder for the latter.

Everyone fell silent, clearly understanding that implementing this surgical innovation in practice is truly difficult, extraordinarily so.

Perhaps this was why the surgeons from Guoxie from the beginning were silent, knowing their hospital’s Hepatobiliary Surgery department was undertaking something as difficult as reaching the heavens.

"My head needs to explode first." The atmosphere was too oppressive, and a doctor jokingly laughed out loud to break the silence.

No matter what, just because he couldn’t do it didn’t mean his colleagues absolutely couldn’t either. As doctors, they all hoped for rapid technological breakthroughs that could benefit humanity.

No one would mock this doctor for his joke. Because the surgery live stream showed all the values directly, not afraid to let their peers see and judge for themselves.

The result was that everyone had to raise the white flag and surrender.

Whoever could figure it out, that person must indeed be divine.
