Doctor: start with the heart

Chapter 18 Tricky Situations - Turning the Tide
"Press and hold the top!"

Sun Chang took a deep breath, looked up at Zhao Xu and said.

"it is good!"

Zhao Xu nodded, slowly moved his hands up from the broken end of his right leg, and continued to press hard.

He knew that Sun Chang wanted to expose the wound on the broken end of the patient's right leg, find the broken end of the femoral artery, and clamp to stop the bleeding.

1 minutes.

2 minutes.

Time passed by, and although Zhao Xu pressed hard on the top of his right leg, blood kept gushing out.

And Sun Chang's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and her collar was completely soaked in sweat!

Two minutes had passed, and Sun Chang still hadn't found the severed end of the femoral artery.

Femoral artery retracted too much!
At this moment, Sun Chang felt that the situation in front of her was extremely difficult. She had penetrated 5cm into the broken end of her right leg, but still could not find the broken end of the femoral artery. This meant that the broken end of the femoral artery was probably located under the pelvis.

In this case, it is necessary to cut the entire pelvis to the right leg, and search for the broken femoral artery bit by bit.

drop!
drop!
drop!
At this moment, the life monitor suddenly flashed a red light, and the ear-piercing alarm sounded!
"Doctor Sun, the patient's blood pressure and heart rate are dropping sharply!"

Fang Wei said hurriedly.

How to do? !

Even Sun Chang, who has rich experience and solid professional qualities, is a little helpless at this time.

If there is enough time to make the incision, she is quite sure to find the ruptured and bleeding femoral artery.

But now the patient is bleeding continuously, and there is no time at all!

"Prepare arterial catheter and balloon."

At this moment, Zhao Xu suddenly said to Fang Wei.

When Fang Wei heard this, she immediately turned around reflexively and ran to the equipment room.

"Student, you?"

Hearing what Zhao Xu said, Sun Chang suddenly looked up at Zhao Xu.

Arterial catheter, balloon? !

Sun Chang suddenly had a guess in his mind, but with her experience and expertise, she felt a little unbelievable.

Impossible, this can't be done!
"This is the only way now, arterial introduction to stop bleeding."

Seeing Sun Chang's incredulous expression, Zhao Xu nodded and said with certainty.

Arterial hemostasis refers to probing with a catheter to find the broken end of the femoral artery. After the catheter is accurately inserted into the artery, an inflatable balloon is opened to stop the bleeding.

This is more thorough than clamping to stop bleeding, but the biggest problem with this method is that when using the catheter to find the broken end of the femoral artery, you must rely on the weak feedback of the catheter touching the artery.

This kind of feedback is extremely weak. If it was Zhao Xu before, he would not be able to do it, but he got the attribute card this morning, and his hand dexterity has been improved by a level. Therefore, when Sun Chang has no other choice, he must try it.

"Okay, do it boldly, I will be responsible for anything!"

Sun Chang is also a very responsible person. Since she can't think of a better way, she can only let Zhao Xu have a try in such a difficult situation.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Sun Chang. Seeing her firm and trusting eyes, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

"Doctor Zhao, the catheter and balloon are here!"

At this moment, Fang Wei ran in panting, holding an arterial catheter and an inflatable balloon in her hand.

"let's start."

Zhao Xu settled down, took a deep breath, nodded to Sun Chang, and said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Sun Chang also nodded, put down the vascular forceps in his hand, moved his hands to the uppermost side of his right leg, and pressed down firmly.

She did this only as a stopgap measure to minimize the bleeding of the femoral artery and buy more time for Zhao Xu to find the broken end of the femoral artery.

Zhao Xu picked up the arterial catheter and inserted it through the cut end of the wound on his right leg. During this process, his hands were very stable, like a machine.

The effect of dexterity +1 is somewhat beyond imagination!
Feeling the unusually stable and sensitive hands at this time, a thought flashed through Zhao Xu's mind.

Soon, Zhao Xu held the catheter and inserted it into the wound little by little. During this process, the catheter traveled through the gaps between the muscles, constantly touching various tissues.

The catheter passed through the gaps in the muscles and touched various tissues. The weak touch and vibration were transmitted to Zhao Xu's hands.

Nerves, veins, and ligaments are just the faint sensations that come from touching various tissues through the catheter. Zhao Xu felt that he could tell what the catheter touched. The advancement of the catheter forms a dynamic local 3D anatomical modeling image.

Visual-spatial conversion ability, and dexterity +1, are perfectly integrated in Zhao Xu's body at this moment, playing an incredible role.

found it!
right here!

Zhao Xu suddenly felt a weak vibration coming from the catheter, which was very similar to the pulse of an artery.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was sure that the opening of the catheter had reached the end of the femoral artery.

"Ready to open the balloon at any time!"

Zhao Xu raised his head and said to Fang Wei who was standing aside.

That's it? !

As soon as Zhao Xu said this, Fang Wei and Sun Chang felt incredible.

"Student, are you sure? If we make a mistake, we don't have a second chance."

Sun Chang said in a deep voice.

The life and death of this patient can be said to be in Zhao Xu's hands at this moment, completely depending on his judgment.

If his judgment is wrong, the patient will die of hemorrhagic shock quickly, and there is no time for trial and error!

"I'm sure!"

Zhao Xu nodded and said confidently.

"Okay, let go and do it!"

Seeing Zhao Xu's confidence, Sun Chang was also infected.

However, she made a decision in an instant. If Zhao Xu made a mistake and the patient died, as the team leader, she would definitely take the responsibility on herself.

Hearing Sun Chang's words, Zhao Xu instantly felt a heavy responsibility fall on him, and with it came an extremely heavy pressure.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xu slowly inserted the catheter into the severed end of the femoral artery according to the weak vibration in his hand and the guidance of the 3D modeling in his mind.

1cm!

2cm!

Zhao Xu kept calculating the depth of the catheter in his mind.

"Okay, open the balloon!"

Zhao Xu said suddenly.

Hearing this, Fang Wei couldn't help but look at Sun Chang. After all, Sun Chang is the leader of the medical team.

"Open it, I trust him!"

Sun Chang nodded to Fang Wei and said in a deep voice.

"it is good."

Fang Wei held the switch of the inflatable balloon in her hand, and unscrewed it little by little. Although it was effortless, Fang Wei felt that she had exhausted all her strength to unscrew the valve.

Live or die, right now!
puff!
With the opening of the valve, the gas in the gas tank is quickly injected into the catheter and reaches the position of the balloon, and the balloon is also opened in the artery little by little, filling up the space in the artery quickly.

1 minutes!

2 minutes!
. . .

Stopped!

Didi's alarm sound suddenly stopped.

The three of them looked up, and on the electronic screen of the life monitor, the dazzling red had disappeared, and it had turned into a patch of green.

"Blood pressure has risen!"

Fang Wei couldn't bear the excitement in her heart and shouted out.

It worked!
Unbelievable!

Seeing Sun Chang's blood pressure rising, his heart was agitated.

Although he believed that Zhao Xu could do it, Sun Chang still felt incredible when it really happened.

He is only so old that he can turn the tide and complete this unimaginable operation!

This is what Sun Chang is thinking at the moment.

"Fortunately not humiliated."

At this moment, Zhao Xu finally let out a long sigh of relief, smiled, and said to Sun Chang.

"Good job!"

Sun Chang also smiled, and looked at Zhao Xu, without saying anything.
