When the Doctor Uses A Hack
Chapter 1132 - 1135: Can He Be Saved?

The office suddenly buzzed with activity.

Ge Huai's heart was in turmoil!

He knew what his level was.

How awkward would this moment be?

Actually, vascular anastomosis has always been a required skill for every surgeon, not only at Dongda hospital, but many other institutions as well.

Because many heart surgeries are inseparable from vascular anastomosis.

And for Marfan Syndrome's major vascular replacement surgery, it also cannot do without vascular anastomosis.

How to quickly, precisely, and tightly complete the anastomosis between blood vessels and prosthetic blood vessels is always the key to this type of surgery.

Just like Professor Xiao Zhehai from Ruijin Hospital, he can quickly complete a total arch replacement surgery in 18 minutes, which requires handling eight junctions in a very short time.

It's an exceedingly difficult process.

Hearing about the competition, Xu Ziming said with a smile, "Dr. Ge, should I go prepare the materials for you guys?"

Ge Huai panicked internally: "No need, no need, it's too much trouble, I'm here to learn..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziming said, "They're all young, it's good to compete more often, it helps to improve."

At this point, Xu Ziming suddenly said, "Oh! Dr. Ge is worried about undermining Dr. Zhou's enthusiasm? Don't worry about that."

"Right! Dr. Ge, show us your skills!"

At this moment, Ge Huai deeply regretted his actions, knowing now how hard it is to show off; he wished he had never done it!

He now understood a saying: Having the skills is showing off, not having the skills...

Seeing everyone so lively, Ge Huai couldn't help but sigh.

Let it be, let it be!

Just at that moment, Chen Cang walked in.

Everyone greeted him with a smile:

"Professor Chen!"

"Teacher Chen!"

Meng Xi smiled and said, "Little Chen is here."

Chen Cang greeted everyone with a smile and said to the teacher, "Teacher Meng!"

Looking around at everyone, Chen Cang smiled and said, "The whole team's here."

Xu Ziming also came in: "Teacher Chen, what brings you here?"

Chen Cang, seeing Ge Huai and a young doctor already set up, was suddenly taken aback and said with a smile, "Is this... a competition for vascular suturing?"

Xu Ziming nodded, "Yeah, for young people, it's good to interact more."

Seeing this scene, Chen Cang suddenly remembered the rewards from a few days ago.

Vascular-prosthetic vessel anastomosis techniques.

This technique is mainly aimed at major vascular replacement surgeries.

Chen Cang found that many of the skills above have different suturing techniques for different blood vessels.

Originally, Chen Cang thought his suturing speed was already fast enough, but he realized after the surgery that there was still a gap compared to Academician Xiao Zhehai's suturing speed.

This gap was not just in vascular suturing.

But the differences in handling details for different blood vessels.

How to use the time reasonably, how to effectively reduce unnecessary time... these become especially important.

Major vascular replacement surgery itself is a race against time with the Grim Reaper.

If surgery time can be effectively reduced and surgical efficiency improved, it can actually lower the risk of complications.

One of the main causes of postoperative death for Marfan Syndrome's abdominal aorta replacement surgery is renal failure following the replacement of the abdominal aorta.

The same is true for aortic arch replacement surgery!

The blood supply for the spinal cord involves over a dozen pairs of intercostal arteries, along with other arteries, making the anastomosis needed for the entire surgery highly challenging. Thus, how to complete all the anastomosis between the prosthetic and natural vessels within a limited time is particularly critical!

After learning these skills, Chen Cang also wanted to give it a try.

At this time, Li Baoshan also walked in, looking quite interested in the upcoming competition.

Just as Chen Cang was about to speak, he suddenly heard his phone ringing!

"Chen Cang, this is Yu Yonggang, a Marfan Syndrome patient who suddenly fell ill after visiting Yu Wan. He has just completed examinations; we suspect an aortic dissection, with an accompanying abdominal aortic dissection; the situation is quite serious!"

"Are you in the cardiac surgery department? Let Director Xu and the others come down and have a look! The patient is already in shock; I don't know if we have time for imaging, you guys come down and see."

Yu Yonggang's voice was urgent!

The patient's condition was indeed too urgent.

A dissection in the arch of the aorta plus an abdominal aortic dissection!

Both major arteries diseased at the same time, such a case is extremely rare!

Could the patient withstand a surgery if both procedures were undertaken simultaneously?

After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang said to Xu Ziming, Li Baoshan, and the others, "There's a visitor who came to see Yu Wan suddenly fell ill in the emergency room, with a dissection in both the arch and the abdominal aorta!"

"And now the patient has gone into shock, and hasn't had time for angiographic examination yet!"

After saying this, Chen Cang immediately started heading outside.

Li Baoshan and Xu Ziming exchanged glances, seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

The office that had just been filled with joy was now suddenly quiet and serious.

Meng Xi immediately followed and ran out after him.

The patient's condition could be described as hanging by a thread!

Two aortic dissections occurring at once, due to obstruction, which caused poor blood circulation, and even resulted in elevated blood pressure!

And the elevated blood pressure in turn became a very dangerous factor.

It could at any moment cause pressure on the dissecting aneurysm, leading to rupture!

When they reached the elevator, it was still ascending. With no other choice, the group of people ran down the stairs.

At this moment, the patient was in shock.

What was the reason?

There were equally many factors to consider!

Could it be due to the rupture of the aortic dissection?

Soon after, having run down six floors, they arrived in the emergency department lobby.

By now, the patient had already been rushed into the resuscitation room.

Chen Cang didn't bother with anything else and charged straight in.

As soon as he entered, he heard the alarm of the monitor beeping.

"The patient's blood pressure is plummeting!"

"Get the ultrasound doctor here!" As Chen Cang heard the rapid drop in blood pressure, his face immediately changed!

"Heart rate 40 beats per minute!"

"Breathing is rapid!"

Every piece of news signified an unfavorable factor!

Chen Cang quickly ran over, picked up the stethoscope, and placed it on the pre-chest area to listen.

Instantly, he heard an alarming murmur that drowned out the first heart sound...

Almost instantaneously, Chen Cang thought of a possibility.

"Aortic dissection is peeling off!"

At this moment, the ultrasound doctor hurriedly rushed in.

But Chen Cang said to the nurse, "Prepare for pericardiocentesis."

Meanwhile, Yu Yonggang was personally organizing the rescue.

He also instantly realized what had happened!

"Percardial tamponade?"

Chen Cang nodded!

At that moment, the echocardiogram results instantly revealed a large amount of blood in the pericardium of the patient.

At this moment, everyone felt a tightening in their chest.

Could this be saved?
