Traditional Chinese Medicine: The first surgery went viral on the Internet

Chapter 15

Fang Xin slept until dawn. Just as she was about to sleep a little longer, she heard a sharp ringing from her cell phone.

As soon as she picked it up, she heard Professor Ding's anxious voice:

"Xiao Fang, come to the hospital quickly, something serious has happened, there are seven or eight patients who need surgery at the same time!

Fang Xin was shocked and said quickly:

"I'll be right there!"

"I have asked someone to pick you up, just wait at the door."

Fang Xin quickly tidied up her clothes and ran out.

After a while, she saw a blue Passat parked in front of her, and a capable and bright girl said to Fang Xin:

"Doctor Fang, right?"

"Um"

"Get in the car!"

Fang Xin got in the car without saying anything, and waited until the car started before asking doubtfully:

"What happened? Why did so many people get injured all of a sudden?"

"A fire broke out in a medicine warehouse in Xuhui District. It burned all night last night and was put out in the morning. Firefighters repeatedly warned people not to go in, but the person in charge of the warehouse still took people in to see if there were any drugs that could be rescued."

"Who knew that the metal frame above the warehouse collapsed, burying more than a dozen people inside, and several were seriously injured and sent to the hospital."

When the woman spoke, there was no expression on her face, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

Fang Xin asked in confusion:

"Then you are……"

"I am Ding Xiang, Professor Ding's granddaughter. I am currently a reserve staff member of the Magic City Hospital. Professor Ding asked me to pick you up. Sit tight, I'm going to speed up."

Ding Xiang said, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed onto the elevated road.

Fang Xin saw that the number on the speedometer was getting bigger and bigger, and in a blink of an eye it had reached the speed limit for driving in the city. He was a little frightened and said:

"Slow down, are you sending me to the hospital to have someone else's surgery or sending me to the hospital to be operated on by someone else?"

"What a coward!

Ding Xiang sneered and said,"The situation is urgent, I can't care about so many things, as long as I don't violate the traffic rules."

The car crossed left and right in the morning rush hour traffic, allowing Fang Xin to experience a speed and passion.

Finally, under the pain of being about to vomit, the car stopped at the door of the hospital.

The whole journey took only half of the normal driving time.

Before Fang Xin could stand firm after getting off the car, Ding Xiang almost dragged Fang Xin to the main building and said in a deep voice:

"Stop dilly-dallying like a woman."

"? ? Big brother, does your grandfather know that you are such a man?"

As he was talking, several nurses hurried to the front desk and said:

"There's not enough plasma. Call the blood bank to get some!"

Fang Xin frowned and asked,"Is the situation serious?"

The nurses had never seen Fang Xin before and thought she was a family member of the injured. They didn't say anything and just said to Fang Xin:

"Please wait patiently, we will do our best to treat you.

Fang Xin was about to say something when Ding Xiang came over and pulled him aside and said:

"What else are you asking? Go change your clothes and prepare for surgery! Grandpa said that every second counts!"

"I haven't started working yet……"

"Save the person first!"

Fang Xin was dragged to change clothes and then dragged to the operating table. She was about to say something, but was shocked by the scene in front of her.

She saw that the injured person had several dark bruises on his body. He had been treated, but his heart rate and blood pressure were still below normal.

"The exquisite eyes are open! The sky-patching hands are open!"

Fang Xin said in a deep voice while touching the injured person:

"There was a large area of bruises on the chest, three ribs on the left side were broken, and the victim had difficulty breathing. It was estimated that the broken ribs might have injured the lungs."

"Prepare to open the chest! Has the anesthesia been done?

Ding Xiang looked at the anesthesiologist next to her, and the anesthesiologist quickly said,"Not yet."

"Perform endotracheal intubation and intravenous anesthesia."

Fang Xin nodded, looked at Ding Xiang and said,"How many such patients are there?"

"Professor Ding was the most seriously injured one, and the others all had broken ribs, but not as serious as his. There was only an emergency room in the hospital, so they could only perform four thoracotomies at the same time.

Fang Xin shook his head and said:

"First send it for a 3D CT scan. It is possible that the ribs have not completely punctured the lungs, but there are risks."

"That here……"

"The anesthesiologist will stay, and a nurse will be left to look at the vital signs chart.

Fang Xin said:

"According to the scans, determine which ones are the most serious, send them to me in order, and be ready for surgery at any time!"

The people in the operating room were shocked:

"what are you up to?"

"What's wrong with doing surgery at the same time? Is there a problem?"

"How can this be possible? This is too ridiculous!"

"There's nothing wrong with that.

Fang Xin said, picking up the scalpel and cutting away the artery.

"Now every second counts, don't hesitate, I will be responsible if there is any problem, if you can't make a decision, go to Professor Ding!"

Seeing that they were still hesitating, Ding Xiang said:

"Go ahead, this is what Professor Ding meant."

The nurses left in a hurry.

Ding Xiang looked at Fang Xin and said in a deep voice:

"Is there anything I can do?

Fang Xin did not speak, because he found that the patient's condition was more serious than what he saw from the outside.

"The rib pierced the pleura and entered the lung, forming a hemothorax and excessive fluid in the lung."

"Due to the formation of a one-way valve in the damaged tissues of the chest wall, lungs, trachea, etc., when inhaling, the air pushes the valve in the incision into the chest cavity, and when exhaling, the valve closes, causing air to continuously enter the chest cavity but not be discharged, causing the pleural cavity pressure to continue to increase."

"The injured lung tissue is compressed, pushing the mediastinum toward the healthy side, compressing the healthy lung, thereby reducing lung ventilation and effective ventilation area, causing hypoxia."

"Since blood still perfuses the atelectatic lung tissue, it cannot be oxygenated and shunting occurs, further aggravating hypoxemia."

"The displacement of the mediastinum, the distortion of the heart and large blood vessels, and the increase in the pressure in the pleural cavity can lead to obstruction of venous return to the heart, reduced cardiac output, and circulatory failure.

Fang Xin took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the broken ribs and lungs.

"The ribs are inserted deep, ready to widen the rupture and clear the fluid in the lungs.

Fang Xin said as she cleared some obvious fluid. At this moment, she heard the nurse next to her say:

"The patient's lung oxygen saturation is too low!"

"There is a severe air leak. Give me the needle and thread.

Ding Xiang quickly handed the needle and thread to Fang Xin.

With the help of Linglong's eyes, Fang Xin quickly found the part of the lung that was leaking air.

"Fortunately, there was no damage to the bronchi and trachea.

After some stitching, the nurse said:

"Oxygen saturation has been restored!

Fang Xin nodded and was about to continue to remove the effusion when he saw the operating room open and the second injured person came in.

"Let's leave the crack alone for now. Dingxiang, will it clear the fluid?
