The next step was to remove the heart.

Zhou Yuan chose to cut open the atrial groove from the right side.

Although He Jianyi and others were curious, they did not say much. It was not until the atrial groove was completely dissected and the left atrial wall proximal to the right pulmonary vein was exposed in the surgical field that everyone understood the reason.

He Jianyi and the other two were extremely surprised.

The reason why Zhou Yuan did not dissect the heart directly, but started from the atrial groove, was to expose the left atrial wall and reduce the risk of damaging the pulmonary blood vessels.

This is knowledge that cannot be learned from textbooks. Each cut is a unique method that is most suitable for the patient on the operating table!

Director Lin swallowed his saliva.

He wished he was younger. If he was only thirty or even forty years old, he could do a few more operations with Zhou Yuan and learn Zhou Yuan's skills. Perhaps by the time he retires, he will have become a world-famous lung transplant master!

"The next step is to block the ascending aorta."

He Jianyi revealed the aortic perfusion point, and Zhou Yuan cut the ascending aorta with his knife.

"The common pulmonary artery.

Lu Chenxi showed the common pulmonary artery.

Zhou Yuan transected the pulmonary artery again at the midpoint, and then removed the superior and inferior vena cava.

"Be careful!"

Lu Chenxi was about to take out the curved scissors when Zhou Yuan reminded her.

"Don't damage the esophagus, so as not to aggravate the chest infection!"

Lu Chenxi took a deep breath, thankful that Zhou Yuan reminded him in time.

After the superior and inferior vena cava were also dealt with, Zhou Yuan began to formally remove the heart.

There is no skill in this step, it depends entirely on technology.

He Jianyi blocked the left pulmonary vein, etc. Zhou Yuan cut the left atrial wall between the confluence of the left pulmonary vein and the coronary sinus, then pulled the heart, did not move the scalpel, and extended the incision upward and downward.

Finally, Zhou Yuan moved the scalpel, and the incision merged with the previous small incision of the left atrial appendage, and the entire left atrial wall fell off.

"Next, the trachea will be removed. The ventilator is ready for overdose ventilation." Zhou Yuan said.

The instrument nurse nodded:"Understood."

Zhou Yuan pulled out the tracheal tube slightly, so that the tube mouth was slightly out of the trachea.

"Overventilation!"

After more than ten seconds, Zhou Yuan cut off the trachea.

"

He Jianyi fully exposed the top of his chest, and Zhou Yuan clamped the trachea with a large right-angle clamp, then cut it off, and then completely removed the heart.

""Start double lung removal." Zhou Yuan said.

It finally came to this point.

He Jianyi and others held their breath. The only sound in the operating room was Zhou Yuan shouting at the instrument.

After removing the heart, Zhou Yuan cut open the posterior mediastinum along the front of the spine and extended the wound to the diaphragm plane.

"Close the remaining trachea and the two ends of the esophagus."Zhou

Hejian nodded and clamped the parts with a suture.

Zhou Yuan cut off the branches of the aortic arch at the top of the chest, and then cut off the thoracic aorta from the exposed supradiaphragmatic position.

At this time, the lungs and the patient's body were left with only the aorta and esophagus.

"Cut off the aorta and esophagus?" Lu Chenxi asked.

Just as she was about to do it, Zhou Yuan stopped her,"No, cut off the esophagus and aorta together. This will save time and maintain the quality of the lungs."

Lu Chenxi blushed and silently memorized this knowledge.

"Are you ready?" Zhou Yuan asked about the cold saline.

During transportation, the donor lungs must be placed in a plastic bag filled with 4-degree saline, then placed in an ice bucket and covered with ice chips.

"OK"

Zhou Yuan nodded and glanced at Director Lin,"Go to operating room No. 2 and prepare for thoracotomy."

Director Lin nodded and immediately left the operating room.

Zhou Yuan lowered his head again and began to carefully cut the adhesion tissue between the lungs and the patient's body. You need to be especially careful here. The connective tissue near the bronchi of the lungs should be preserved as much as possible, as they can protect the bronchial arteries.

About five minutes later, the lungs, the aorta, and the three sections of the esophagus were removed and placed in cold saline.

Zhou Yuan closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

"The donor lungs have been collected. Let's go to the No. 2 operating room."

Hearing this, the anesthesiologist finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lung transplantation is a surgery that only a few anesthesiologists have to be vigilant throughout. For most surgeries, he basically has nothing to do after anesthesia, but in this surgery, he also has to control the expansion of the lung tissue.

Once the lung tissue is over-infused and over-expanded, the lung tissue will be damaged.

""Okay." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to rush to the No. 2 operating room.

……

Outside the operating room.

Zhang Ling and Lin Wen had already treated the other patients. Those who could be saved were on the operating table, or they were out of danger. Those who could not be saved had basically stopped beating on the way to the hospital.

So some people say that the place where the most prayers are prayed is not the church, but the hospital.

When facing the life and death of a loved one, no matter who you are, you hope that there is a God in this world who can eliminate all disasters and diseases.

"Chuchu."

Zhang Ling and Lin Wen saw Chuchu waiting alone outside the operating room.

As expected, Chuchu was still waiting outside the operating room.

Zhang Ling and Lin Wen looked at each other and ran to Chuchu's side.

"Chuchu, would you like to go back with your sister and have some rest?"Zhang Ling's voice choked up again when she saw Chuchu. Lin Wen

's nose also turned red:"Yes, Chuchu, go back with us and have a good sleep. Mom will be fine when she wakes up tomorrow!"

"Mom is fine... What about Dad?" Chuchu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then asked in an expectant tone

"Dad, he……"Zhang Ling and Lin Wen were speechless.

Obviously, Chuchu understood the expressions of Zhang Ling and Lin Wen.

In an instant, Chuchu's mood dropped again, and he hung his head again, not saying a word.

"I'm not sleepy, I'm going to wait here for mom and dad to come out!"

Zhang Ling wiped her tears and said,"Chu Chu, the one who performed the operation on mom is Brother Zhou Yuan, the best doctor in our hospital. Everything will be fine!"

Chu Chu's eyes lit up,"Brother Zhou Yuan...what about Dad?"

"Who will perform surgery on Daddy! Is it the amazing brother Zhou Yuan?

Chu Chu raised her tearful eyes, wanting to get a positive answer.

In the little heart of a child who has never experienced the cruelty of the world, there are some gods.

In Chu Chu's opinion, Zhou Yuan is an amazing doctor god, so he can also save Daddy.

""Sister! Who performed the surgery on Dad? Is it my brother? Is it my brother?" Chuchu started crying louder.

At this moment, the door of the No. 1 operating room opened again, and Zhou Yuan and others hurriedly pushed Chuchu's father's donor lung into the No. 2 operating room.

""Brother!"

Chuchu shouted, but before he could run over, the door of the No. 2 operating room slammed shut.

"How is the situation?"

In the operating room, Zhou Yuan asked the instrument nurse to help wipe his tears and asked

"The thoracotomy went smoothly!"Director Lin said.

Zhou Yuan nodded and was about to walk over when another director suddenly turned pale.

"Aortic hemorrhage!" At this moment, everyone present changed their expressions.
