Jane did not have the time to care about the crowd's agitation and asked everyone to focus.
"Install the artificial heart and lung, line 40 …"
The assistant also picked up the tourniquet and the toothless straight hemostatic forceps and began to assist in the work.
"Artificial heart and lung installation complete!" The machine master said.
"Start the pump! Endotherm knife … "Jane said to the assistant as she busied herself with her work," Please prepare two 18mm artificial blood vessels. "
As soon as he said that, everyone's faces were filled with doubt. Not only the people on the viewing platform, but even the assistant hesitantly said, "Doctor, piggyback. According to the book, it should connect the blood vessels between the pulmonary arteries. Isn't one artificial blood vessel enough?"
Jane looked up and said a little helplessly, "Just do it. No surgery is exactly the same as the textbook. Don't limit your thoughts to books, or you'll only be an assistant for the rest of your life. You won't be a real chief surgeon."
Just as everyone was confused, Lee Eunjeong saw Jane's large incision on the right side of the chest from the monitor.
Lee Eunjeong's heart skipped a beat and he exclaimed, "I see!"
"Doctor Lee, what's going on?" Someone asked curiously.
Lee Eunjeong pointed at the monitor with a trembling finger and said, "The original Piggyback was to place the donor's heart on top of the damaged heart and sew up the superior vena cava and aorta. All that was needed was an artificial blood vessel to bridge the pulmonary arteries!
But Jane's method was to place the donor's heart in a non-adhered chest cavity. To make up for the extra distance in the original method, an artificial blood vessel was used to suture the aorta! "
"I see. Doctor Lee's eyes are sharp indeed. We didn't even realize it." A doctor praised.
Lee Eunjeong, on the other hand, shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed. "Forget about me, it's not even worth mentioning in front of Jane. None of us managed to guess her plan … From the start, even if Jane could not complete the separation within a limited time, she had already calculated the donor's condition and the transplant space. To think that we were so anxious. So it turns out that all of this is within her calculations! "
Everyone was shocked. After understanding Jane's train of thought, they were all sincerely convinced.
"Then … does that mean my grandpa can be saved?" Zhenxiu asked hopefully.
Lee Eunjeong nodded. "If everything goes smoothly, there should be no problem."
Many of the Park family members heaved a sigh of relief, but Park Jonghyun's smile was a little stiff.
There were 50 minutes left. The pleura had been cut open, and the heart was ready.
Jane's hand speed increased again. "Aortic forceps … Cut off blood flow, inject cardioplegic fluid … Begin transplantation, pointed scissors …"
He took the heart from the assistant and carefully fixed it. Then, he began to suture the left side of the heart.
"Tweezers, line 40 …"
On the grandstand, everyone's heartbeat quickened as they watched.
"Based on Jean's speed, it should be possible. However, the donor's heart has been transported for too long, and its functions are already damaged. If the donated heart can't handle it, everything will be in vain. Let's hope there are no problems …" Lee Eunjeong analyzed.
Jane did not stop at the operating table.
"Perform blood drainage … Begin the distal pulmonary artery suture. Thread 40, forceps …"
"Raise the aspirator a little higher, reduce the load, inject 500 subcutaneous, add FFP …"
Warren and a few of his assistants who were the closest to Jane noticed that her speed was even faster than before!
Even the doctors on the grandstand were speechless with their mouths agape. The surgical skills they had witnessed today had shaken their knowledge of medicine to the core!
Lee Eunjeong clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were filled with indignation and helplessness.
The dazzling technique allowed Piggyback to end in a much shorter time than expected!
After Jane completed the suture calmly, she said to the technician in a clear voice, "FLOW DOWN!"
"Yes! Remove the blockage, BACKUP! "
As soon as she finished, everyone focused on the heart, hoping that it would start beating.
In an instant, everyone in the operating room held their breaths, as if afraid that the heart would be disturbed.
A few seconds passed, and just as everyone was feeling more and more threatened, the heart started beating!
"Thump thump … thump thump …"
It was as if everyone could hear the heartbeat in their heads!
"Success!? Success!?!?! "Someone started to shout in excitement.
Just as everyone on the grandstand heaved a sigh of relief, an ear-piercing "beep" sound was heard!
On the electrocardiogram, the heartbeat rate was increasing rapidly!
Warren took a look and exclaimed, "It's VT! Ventricular tachycardia!? "
"What … What's going on?! Wasn't the surgery a success?! "Zhenxiu's joy vanished into thin air!
Lee Eunjeong said in a low voice, "The VT is too severe, and the blood loss is too long. The heart can't be used anymore … I was worried that it would happen."
"Then what should we do?! Can grandpa be saved?! "Park Jonghyun seemed to be excited again, but he asked earnestly.
Lee Eunjeong shook his head. "A heart transplant. Even the transplanted heart has lost its vitality. How can we save him …"
"We still didn't make it …" Lin Ruoxi said regretfully.
Yang Cheng reached out and hugged her shoulder tightly. "I believe Jane will find a way."
Lin Ruoxi looked up and saw Yang Cheng's confident expression. She sighed in her heart.
Everyone at the operating table looked at Jane, but most of them had a look of pity on their faces. To them, there was nothing they could do to save the situation.
Jane closed her eyes and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and said, "Lidocaine hydrochloride, set to 50mg, DC defibrillator, 20J charge!"
Although they felt that it was impossible, the technician and his assistant quickly brought the defibrillator over.
"Doctor, charging complete!"
Jane took the defibrillator and placed it close to her heart. "Get out of the way … Discharge!"
After the electric shock, the electrocardiogram's frequency was still very high. The VT was still there.
"Doctor, this won't do …" A nurse was on the verge of tears.
Jane's eyes showed no signs of panic. "Turn on the artificial heart and lung again, pump!"
"Yes!"
As the artificial heart and lung was turned on, everyone was on the brink of despair.
"Teacher, install the VAD!" Vincent, who was already in the stands, shouted into the microphone.
"Heart support device?" Someone asked.
"Yes, be prepared for the heart to fail." Vincent said.
"But the president's body can't take it anymore. After the liver transplant, his body is already at its limit." Lee Eunjeong denied this method.
On the operating table, the donor's heart was still beating, and the blood drainage was still ongoing.
Everyone stared at Jane, only to see her using 20J to defibrillate the heart again.
"Teacher, what are you doing!?" Warren cried out in alarm.
After defibrillation, Jane actually asked the assistant to change a pair of gloves for her!
Jane didn't answer. Instead, she slowly pressed on some parts of the heart …
After a while, Jane pulled her hand back and said, "Stop the heart again."
"What? Stop again?! This … this is a newly transplanted heart! "The technician thought he heard it wrong.
Jane nodded solemnly to confirm that there was no problem.
After the transplanted heart stopped beating again, Jane asked, "Can the ultra-low temperature cryotherapy be ready at any time?"
"Uh … yes." The technician nodded and immediately started preparing.
Jane explained to the crowd, "There's a focal point in the heart. After the heart stops, cut open the myocardium and perform ultra-low temperature cryotherapy around the biceps. That should be enough to remove the VT …"
Lee Eunjeong frowned and said, "Find the place where the ventricular tachycardia is, and use the cryotherapy technique to insert the ultra-low temperature cryotherapy device.
Indeed, using ultra-low temperature cryotherapy can lock onto the focal point without damaging the myocardium. But how do we find the focal point?! Any mistake will affect the conduction system and cause a conduction obstruction … "
The crowd couldn't understand the problem at all. They only knew that it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. The chances were slim!
Jane didn't hesitate at all. After taking the knife from the assistant, she was stopped by Lee Eunjeong.
"Doctor Jane!" Lee Eunjeong shouted, "You … Can you tell where the focal point is?! Can you feel it with your hands?! "
Jane raised her head and said, "I can feel the contraction of the heart with my hands. There's something wrong. I'm sure the focal point is there."
Hearing this, Lee Eunjeong was stunned.
"That's ridiculous! You can feel the focal point of the myocardium with your hands?! "
"How much do you know about the heart to be able to do that?! Stop joking! "Many of the doctors objected.
However, Jane did not pay attention to the doubts of all the doctors. She had already made a decisive cut!
Next, Jane used ultra-low temperature cryotherapy and sutured the myocardium.
“FLOWDOWN！”
With that, she restored the heart's function. The crowd was even more nervous than before.
Finally, the heart started beating again. After a while, the heart was still beating steadily!
"The heart is normal, there's no VT!!" The technician shouted excitedly.
The crowd cheered. The doctors on the stage also started clapping, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Lee Eunjeong had a look of admiration on his face as he mumbled to himself, "Am I dreaming? She can really …"
The doctors looked at Jane with both excitement and awe. Only those who studied medicine professionally could feel how terrifying this young female doctor's medical skills were!
