Medical Immortals come from the future

Chapter 137 Magical
Sima Qing went to see the princess, changed the medicine in the hanging bottle, took her body temperature, and made sure that there was nothing abnormal about the incision, so she went out again, and only needed to check once in half an hour.Only Long Luofeng stayed by her side all the time, even if she tried to persuade her, she couldn't persuade her to leave, so Sima Qing let him go.

After coming out of the ward, Sima Qing was once again surrounded by imperial doctors.

"Doctor Ah Qing, what's in that bottle?"

"Bottle? You mean the infusion bottle, right?" Sima Qing didn't object to explaining these things to them, provided she had time.Anyway, now that they are full of food and sleep, and have nothing to do, let's help them out.

Otherwise, the group of old doctors, with so much curiosity, will definitely have to rest for a long time. She understands this feeling, she is a gentle and kind girl, and she must respect the old and love the young!
"That's right, that's the bottle! What's that? An infusion bottle?"

"Yes, that's called intravenous infusion. The principle is..." Sima Qing told them again what she told Mei Ruotian before, "The potion that I'm infusing to the princess now is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. The most important thing is after the hand. It is anti-infection, as long as the incision is not infected, everything will be fine."

Most of the imperial doctors were stunned for a while, unable to speak for a long time.

Mei Ruotian watched from the side, and instantly felt balanced. It turned out that he was not the only one who didn't understand, he was organized!
"You said, a knife was used to make an incision in the patient's stomach, so why didn't the patient feel any pain at all? He kept falling asleep, what kind of medicine is so miraculous?" This time it was Du Laoyu who asked the question. medical.

The old man has completely got rid of the previous shadow. Since Sima Qing performed the operation on the princess, he seems to have come back to life, full of energy, like a child who has just entered the world!
Sima Qing quite likes this old doctor, and thinks he is a doctor who really loves medical skills. Although he is highly respected, he will not put on airs, bravely accept new or shocking "ideas", and will not be compared to other doctors because of other doctors. It's not easy for an old doctor in this time and space to be so jealous.

Sima Qing thought of a saying: when you study medicine, you should learn to have eyesight. Eyes are everywhere, and you have your own way to deal with it.

This old imperial doctor surnamed Du deserves it!
"This medicine is called an anesthetic."

An anesthetic is a drug that can temporarily and reversibly lose consciousness and pain in the entire body or a part of the body.According to their scope of action, they can be divided into general anesthetics and local anesthetics, and general anesthetics and local anesthetics can be further divided into inhalational anesthetics and intravenous anesthetics according to their different action characteristics and administration methods.

Among them, general anesthetics can suppress the cerebral cortex from shallow to deep, making people lose their consciousness.Local anesthesia can stabilize the membrane potential of the nerve or reduce the permeability of the membrane to sodium ions, block the conduction of nerve impulses, and act as a local anesthetic.

General anesthetics are used for major operations or patients who cannot use local anesthetics, and local anesthetics are suitable for minor operations or local anesthetics.The princess used general anesthesia for this abdominal operation, but the dose was very small.

"Anesthesia...medicine?" The old imperial doctor Du was shocked, "But, is it the legendary Mafeisan?"

Hearing the word Mafeisan, the other imperial doctors present were also dumbfounded.

Legend has it that Hua Tuo's son, Boer, died of accidental eating of the fruit of Datura. To commemorate his son, he named the medicine - Mafeisan.

Hua Tuo once tried to use Mafeisan to scrape Guan Yu's bones to cure poison, but Guan Yu refused. As a result, he performed the operation without anesthesia.Later, Hua Tuo suggested that Cao Cao perform a craniotomy, and he also used Mafeisan. Cao Cao did not believe Hua Tuo and executed him.The formula of Mafeisan was burned by the jailer's wife.

Sima Qing scratched her head, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be..."

Was the earliest anesthetic equal to Mafeisan invented by Grandpa Hua Tuo?
In fact, Sima Qing couldn't be sure about this question either.

Because this is a question that has been debated endlessly in the medical community of later generations.

据科学史记载，19世纪英国化学家戴维发现笑气（氧化亚氮）。1844年美国化学家考尔顿研究笑气在人体的作用。1845年1月威尔士用笑气作麻药而进行拨牙手术。1846年10月摩顿采用乙醚作麻醉药进行手术，1847年英国化学家辛普逊用氯仿作麻醉药以治病。

These, compared with the "Mafeisan" invented and used by Ming Huashi, are 700 or [-] years ahead of the West.

Most people and even Chinese medical experts believe that Mafeisan was invented by Hua Tuo's grandfather, and that Mafeisan is the "predecessor" of anesthetics. When it comes to Chinese medicine surgery, it must be called Mafeisan.

However, later generations have some opponents who do not agree with this theory.

Their argument is that anesthesiology - it is a comprehensive discipline, not simply put people to sleep.If Mafeisan is really effective, it should be a general anesthetic. General anesthesia is not simply to let the patient sleep, so sleeping pills can also do it.In order to achieve severe pain without causing the patient to wake up and feel pain, deep anesthesia must be used to completely lose the patient's consciousness, and the cerebral cortex no longer responds to the external pain stimulus.

According to legend, Mafeisan is an anesthetic created by Hua Tuo for surgical operations. He used Mafeisan to perform operations on patients.However, according to common sense, Hua Tuo's ability to perform surgical operations at that time is no different from disregarding human life. It is really unimaginable that a doctor who does not have aseptic techniques, sutures, dissections, antibiotics, and ligation can operate on people. and be successful.There are many data for reference in later generations. For example, before the invention of aseptic disinfection in Europe, the mortality rate of surgery was as high as 70%. This is still in the case of relatively complete anatomy and suture ligation. The ancients before could complete a precision surgery across so many obstacles.

Therefore, since the argument that Hua Tuo performed surgery is untenable, the so-called "Mabosan" he invented can only be an exaggerated legend.

Of course, no matter which one is, it is just a debate. Until Sima Qing crossed over, there was no conclusion.

Alas, it would be great if she traveled to the time and space of Grandpa Hua Tuo. Wouldn't this eternal mystery in the medical world be solved?She also wanted to see if Grandpa Hua was really that awesome!

She hesitated to speak, but the imperial doctors who were listening thought she admitted it, and there was an uproar immediately.

"Mafeisan! Is it really Mafeisan?"

"Impossible, this is impossible! Mafeisan has been lost, you... you actually have the formula of Mafeisan?"
