The Surgeon's Studio

The next morning, Zheng Ren came to the hospital with a full bar of energy.

He had been preparing for this day for a long time, so long that Zheng Ren felt that it had been at least a year.

If the time he spent training in the operating theater of the system was included, it did make people feel as if it had been a lifetime ago. He had touched all the possible complications during the surgery countless times, and Zheng Ren had a feeling that he could complete the surgery with his eyes closed.

When Zheng Ren arrived at the VIP Ward, he saw a Haggard-looking man. He was tall and thin, with dark eye circles.

"Doctor Zheng, I guess." When the man saw Zheng Ren, he immediately welcomed him warmly and asked with a smile,"I'm ..."

"You are little stone's father?" Zheng Ren was actually very surprised that little stone's father had not appeared all this while. He had more or less criticized him before. But now that he saw him, he could feel some strange feelings from the man.

"Doctor Zheng, you've been taking care of little stone all this time. Thank you for your hard work." Little stone's father said,"I've been doing trade recently. I'm going to Africa. It's easier to earn money there."

"Africa?"

Zheng Ren's impression of Africa was that it was a barren land. Was it very profitable there?

"Yes." Little stone's father nodded."Doctor Zheng, I really don't know how to thank you."

"No need. Is Little Rock ready?"

"It's ready. The red string you made for him is also wrapped around his wrist. There are nine buttons on the red string. Is this a custom in your hometown?"

Zheng Ren was not very interested in this topic. He nodded casually and walked in.

Little stone's father had probably rushed back in a hurry. This operation was very risky, and he wanted to see his child one last time.

Upon entering the ward, Zheng Ren saw little stone sitting on the bed, trying hard to breathe.

Because of the serious condition of pulmonary pulmonary fiber, the progress was very fast, so his blood oxygen saturation level had not been ideal recently.

The surgery couldn't be delayed any longer. He had been training day and night for the past few days, so he had to hurry up and perform surgery. His condition was a major reason.

Little stone's condition did not give Zheng Ren enough time at all. If he were to follow the usual speed, little stone might not be able to make it to that time.

"Brother, you're here." Little stone said with a smile when he saw Zheng Ren enter. He only said a few words before he gasped for breath.

"Yes." Zheng Ren nodded."Is everything ready?"

"I'm ready. " Little Rock waved his right hand. There was a patient's wristband and a red string on his wrist.

"Then let's go." Su Yun said from behind Zheng Ren. He was pushing the wheelchair, but he asked with a smile,"can you walk?"

"I'll go in a wheelchair. " Zheng Ren was not interested in Su Yun's joke at all.

It was important to protect the patient's heart and lungs before the surgery and reduce the depletion of the heart's energy reserves as much as possible.

Little stone wanted to jump off the bed, but he only moved a little. He was out of breath for more than ten seconds before he felt better.

"Slow down, there's no hurry." Zheng Ren wanted to help little stone up.

"No, I'll do it myself." Little stone held onto the bed and walked to the wheelchair step by step.

Zheng Ren took the armrest of the wheelchair from Su Yun and pushed little stone out of the ward.

"Brother, you look like you're in good spirits. Do you think your preoperative training can be considered a last minute effort?" Little Rock asked.

"It doesn't count," Zheng Ren said seriously,"many details have been perfected. From a probability point of view, the possibility of postoperative problems has been reduced to about 10%."

"A patient next door died yesterday." Little stone suddenly said.

"Oh? What illness is it?"

"Heart disease." Little stone said,"I heard that her heart had stopped beating when she came. She was saved by ECMO. I heard from the nurse that it seems to be an explosive cardiac muscle infection. "

"Oh? I have some impression of that patient. " Su Yun suddenly said.

"What patient?"

"General manager Zhou said that it was a patient with explosive myocarditis. He was no longer breathing when he was sent to the emergency department, and multiple rounds of CPR were ineffective. Later, the patient's family members strongly requested for an ECMO. General manager Zhou said that it was meaningless, but he still sent it to EICU. "

"Oh, what happened after that?"

"They said that after the ECMO was applied, his electrocardiogram still showed a straight line, but he has regained consciousness." Su Yun said,"my family thought that there was still hope, but the doctor had explained many times and there were all sorts of critical notifications, but my family thought that it was nothing. In order to prevent any conflicts from happening, they went to the ye Department. "

His heart had stopped beating, but he was still conscious. This kind of "miracle" in the past was not a problem in front of ECMO. However, even though ECMO was a godly tool that could bring the dead back to life, it still depended on the condition of the patient.

Some patients 'conditions were so serious that even if they were to get ECMO, it would be useless if they were conscious and could speak even if there was a straight line on the electrocardiogram. Underlying diseases could not be cured, and ECMO could only be used to maintain vital signs. They couldn't withdraw the plane. Once they withdrew, they couldn 't.

Zheng Ren understood what little stone meant when he mentioned this.

"Don't worry," Zheng Ren patted little stone's head.

"I heard from the nurse that the patient's lower limbs turned black, and if he didn't give up, he would have to amputate it. At this time, the uncles were discussing. The family members had been crying outside for a long time, and the tubes were pulled out last night. " Little stone said while panting.

"Yes, according to the data from ELSO, the survival rate of ECMO in the hospital for treating severe cardiopulmonary failure is 41.4%. The average treatment duration is four days. If the patient is removed after four days, the possibility of recovery is higher. "

Little stone did not say anything. Instead, he tried his best to turn his head and look at Zheng Ren.

"Don't worry, I think you'll wake up one day after the operation. But you have to be calm at that time, in case you get restless. At this moment, you should be feeling like you're floating in the void. " Zheng Ren said calmly,"in another 24 hours, if the situation is ideal, ECMO can be withdrawn."

"So fast?" Little stone was a little surprised.

"Didn't you say that sharpening the spear in the face of a battle must be of some use?" Su Yun chuckled.

"Yes, it's that fast." Zheng Ren said,"we can't remove the ventilator for the time being. We still have to try to reduce the burden on your heart and lungs."

"So, if you find yourself in that kind of space, you must stay calm. Don't be anxious, don't panic, and try to calm your breathing. I'll wake you up from this state as soon as possible!"

"I will," Little Rock smiled."Three days ago, you told me that I've found some information about meditation. After learning it, I think I can do it."

"As long as you work hard and cooperate, leave the rest to us."

"Brother, I'll be able to see you when I wake up." Little stone asked seriously.

"Don't worry. You must be in the icu at that time. When you wake up and open your eyes, you will see the sun and me. "
