The spacious operating theater was very quiet, and the three operating tables that were being used were illuminated by their respective shadowless lamps.
On one of the tables, after Gu Jun made a 15-centimeter skin incision on the jinmenken, he said, "Curved scissors." He took the curved surgical scissors that Cai Zixuan quickly handed to him on the right side, and slowly cut the layers of subcutaneous tissue, cutaneous muscle, and ventral pectoral muscle. On the opposite side, Wang Ruoxiang quietly and seriously performed bleeding control.
The three of them had been fully immersed in the surgery, and only occasionally noticed the terrifying and sick human face, but it was just a backdrop.
Gu Jun had to cut very carefully to minimize the destruction of these tissues, and the scissors needed to be as close to the front edge of the ribs as possible to avoid the intercostal blood vessels and nerves. If a chief surgeon accidentally cut off one of the blood vessels, it would be a terrifying scene for the chief surgeon.
However, he was still very energetic at the moment. His mental strength, eyesight, and hand strength were all on the line. He cut layer by layer, and there was no sudden spurt of blood.
"Turn on the ventilator," Gu Jun said again. Because he was fully focused, his face was expressionless, and his voice was not loud. Cai Zixuan knew his duty and shouted, "Circulating nurse, come over and turn on the ventilator!"
There was a ventilator, an ECG monitor, and other conventional equipment beside each operating table. Some of them had been used when the circulating nurse moved the jinmenken in. Now, a circulating nurse immediately came over to help turn on the animal ventilator and provide oxygen.
When the jinmenken exhaled, Gu Jun opened its intercostal muscle and pleura.
His forehead was a little sweaty, but his hands remained steady. "Wound towel." He put the wet sterilized wound towel on the edge of the incision. "Fixator." Then, he installed the fixator used for retracting the retractor. "Retractor." He took the retractor and used force to evenly expand the incision, open up the surgical field, and hung the retractor on the fixator to keep it stable.
At this point in the surgery, although the surgical site looked like a pile of skin, flesh, and blood, the surgical access to the heart and hilum had been completely opened.
At the same time, a group of spectators standing not far away whispered to Zhou Jiaqiang.
"The chief surgeon is Gu Jun." Team Leader Qiu looked at him with a motherly smile. He was very satisfied but not surprised. "The younger generation will surpass us in time." Even under such circumstances, there were still things to be happy about — discovering such a talented young man was one of them.
The faces of the five new chief surgeons were filled with surprise. This was like trying to find gold while trying to find silver. They were looking for the third assistant, and they met the second assistant.
The jinmenken maintained the physical characteristics of a dog, with a large curvature of the chest wall and a low attachment edge of the diaphragm ribs. There were technical difficulties in cutting it, unlike general experimental animals. However, Gu Jun's hands were really good. They were steady and fast. There were a few times when they thought that he would have to cut the blood vessels, but he didn't.
Many people had the so-called professional sense of smell. Surgeons also had this sense of smell. They knew what was wrong and how much strength they needed to use to deal with it. However, this sense of smell and skills could only be developed after years of experience.
Gu Jun acted as if he already had one, but they heard that this was his first surgery.
This kind of person was born to perform surgery.
"Team Leader Qiu, I thought you were exaggerating a little. Now it seems that you are exaggerating a little."
"It's already like this. What's the point of training? Give me Gu Jun. He will be the third assistant on my side."
They spoke very softly, for fear of disturbing the surgeons over there. However, at this time, one of the new chief surgeons, Zhu Ruiwen, could not help but raise his voice. "Third assistant? Who are you insulting? He can be the second assistant with this skill. I will let him be the second assistant on my side. "
"We haven't seen how good his suturing skills are!"
Team Leader Qiu looked at his subordinates, who were almost reenacting the scene of snatching people. He was a little amused and immediately stopped them like Elder Qin. "Stop making noise in the operating room. Let's see how the suturing is first. Qiang, let them do this. Don't go in anymore. Start suturing. "
"Yes." Zhou Jiaqiang was about to go forward and say with a proud expression.
At the operating table, Gu Jun was about to further carry out a pericardial examination. At this time, the ECG monitor next to him suddenly issued a beeping alarm. Wang Ruoxiang frowned and reminded him, "The animal has a cardiac arrest." Gu Jun calmed his mind. It was just a normal situation. He said, "Intravenous injection of epinephrine, 0.2 ml per kilogram of body weight."
This jinmenken weighed 16.3 kilograms, which meant 3.26 ml.
"3.26 ml …" Cai Zixuan murmured and calculated. "Is this the number?" Gu Jun and Wang Ruoxiang said in unison, "Yes!" Gu Jun said again, "3-4 ml is fine. Hurry up."
Cai Zixuan hurriedly used a disposable small syringe to prepare the liquid. At the same time, he called the circulating nurse and had the patrolling nurse inject the jinmenken's hind leg into the vein.
As soon as the epinephrine was injected, the jinmenken's heartbeat recovered after a while. It did not need any more treatment.
On the other side, Team Leader Qiu and the others looked at Gu Jun's calm response and praised him in their hearts!
It was very scary to have a cardiac arrest during surgery. Everyone knew that epinephrine was needed, but some people sometimes just couldn't remember it, especially the rookies, who panicked. It was really rare for an intern to be like Gu Jun.
They were also paying attention to the other two surgeries, which were less interesting in comparison. It was also a thoracotomy. The two chief surgeons were still busy stopping the bleeding because of problems such as cutting too deep and cutting the blood vessels. They had to use the electrocoagulation knife. Fortunately, this was just an experimental animal.
"Ah Jun, don't go in. Just suture." Zhou Jiaqiang went up and said Team Leader Qiu's idea.
"Okay." Gu Jun listened and nodded. He kept himself calm and focused and began to close the incision. He used all the skills he had practiced in the past half a month.
He first used a rib proximity device to make the ribs on both sides of the incision close to each other. The incision was close but did not overlap. Then, he used a single-strand absorbable suture to tighten and tie the ribs on both sides with six stitches. Then, he changed the absorbable suture and sutured the intercostal muscle first, then the other muscle layers. Double interrupted suture …
Everyone watched as Gu Jun sutured layer after layer, clearly separating the main muscle parts from the various layers of muscle. His technique was neat, and the ligation was smooth.
It was really smooth. There was no slight tremor or extra movement.
That pair of hands was simply a veteran surgeon.
"Team Leader Qiu …" Zhu Ruiwen scrambled to look at the leader. "It's no problem for him to be the second assistant."
The other four new chief surgeons now knew that there was no problem. They all asked for Gu Jun to be sent to them. "My suturing skills are not as good as his!" "This kid has practiced."
Zhou Jiaqiang knew that they were being modest. No matter how good Gu Jun was, he was still an intern. For the time being, he could not be compared to these old foxes.
However, the main work of the second assistant was to suture and ligate the superficial parts. After the chief surgeons and first assistants finished the deep work, they could hand over the rest to the second assistant. Because the surgery would be done one after another, they needed to conserve their energy for the next surgery. If the second assistant was like Gu Jun, they could rest assured.
Therefore, Brother Qiang also nodded and agreed to let Gu Jun skip ranks to be the second assistant. "Team Leader Qiu, that kid is improving every day. He is a person who works seriously."
"Hmm …" Team Leader Qiu was still considering. This time, they were mainly here to select the third assistant. He even said that the second assistant was because of Gu Jun. "This skill of his is indeed good. This is his strength, but after all, he has no experience in human surgery. Moreover, he is facing patients with Malformed Banyan Disease …"
Team Leader Qiu felt that he had become Elder Qin, and the look of Zhu Ruiwen and the others was really like him and Old Zheng that day.
