Intra-operative ultrasonography was becoming more and more popular in the operating theater.
Ling Ran frequently used intra-operative ultrasonography in surgeries before this. Now, he could still perform intra-operative ultrasonography smoothly in cardiac surgeries.
This was also the current trend. Through ultrasonography, the area of the valve orifice, the degree of valve regurgitation, the speed of blood flow, the location of the lesion, the severity of the lesion, and so on could be determined.
Zuo Cidian watched Ling Ran do it and craned his neck to look. He did not hide the attention on his face.
"You know him?" The circulating nurse walked over and stopped Zuo Cidian a little to prevent him from getting too close and affecting Ling Ran's operation.
"He's my patient." Zuo Cidian craned his neck a little slowly, like a farmed turtle.
"Doctors who have been to the United States are indeed different. Their humanistic care is great." The circulating nurse chuckled and did not say much.
Zuo Cidian continued to crane his neck to look, but he could only see Ling Ran using the probe to scan the short axis of the artery, the apex of the heart, and the five-chamber section.
When he raised his head to look at the screen, he saw a patch of blue.
In the ultrasound image, the systole of the heart was in this state, which meant that the negative direction of the blood flow was quite serious.
"As expected, the mitral valve is not fully closed." Zuo Cidian deduced the cause by looking at the results, so he could easily confirm it.
Ling Ran nodded and agreed with Zuo Cidian's judgment.
Although he could use the Virtual Human to directly determine the condition of the patient's heart, as a consumable, Ling Ran did not really like to do this during the initial stage of diagnosis.
After all, the initial diagnosis could be made with the instrument, so there was no need for him to waste the precious time of the Virtual Human.
If it was necessary, he could use the same amount of time to make two surgical judgments, and it would bring him a lot more benefits.
Huo Congjun glanced at Zuo Cidian and said with slight surprise, "Doctor Zuo, do you have talent in cardiovascular surgery?"
Because it was their boss who asked them, everyone obediently waited for the chief surgeon Ling Ran's answer.
Ten seconds later, Ma Yanlin coughed and reminded him in a low voice, "Doctor Ling?"
Ling Ran suddenly looked up and looked at Huo Congjun. He said, "I thought it was a question."
"Well …" Huo Congjun did not find it strange and shrugged. He then laughed and helped Zuo Cidian out of his predicament. "Looks like Old Zuo doesn't have any hope of making a name for himself in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery?"
For a moment, Zuo Cidian was really looking forward to it. But at that moment, he completely sobered up and laughed. "I'm already so old. Even if I join the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, I'm afraid that I won't be able to use it for many years. It's better for me to settle down."
"It won't take long to learn how to perform heart bypass surgery alone, but it's not as cost-effective as orthopedics." Ling Ran gave his own judgment, and it was also his plan for Zuo Cidian in the field of clinical medicine.
If Zuo Cidian still felt a little regretful just now, when he heard what Ling Ran said, he immediately started thinking.
In China, for ordinary doctors, the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery was just a nicer sounding name. Aside from the fact that it was cool, there was no way for them to compete with the Department of Orthopedics in other aspects.
In a place like Yun Hua Hospital where the competition between departments was more intense, the Orthopedics Department could even surpass the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery in terms of surgeries and scientific research through better operating theaters and more research funds.
Zuo Cidian was naturally more interested in the Orthopedics Department. He immediately continued Ling Ran's words and said, "I'll listen to you, Doctor Ling."
Ling Ran nodded and continued with his surgery.
The young nurse, Wu Lei, who was standing beside Zuo Cidian, listened to their conversation and decided to put on a better expression when she spoke to Zuo Cidian. She turned her body slightly and used the gentle elbow of a young girl to touch Zuo Cidian as if she had accidentally done so.
Although he was a little old and ugly, if he was an orthopedist, he would at least be rich.
Besides, if he was exposed to radiation often, he would also die earlier than average.
"The arterial valve thickened by more than three millimeters." Ling Ran made a judgment through the ultrasound, and he quickly said what Zuo Cidian wanted to hear, "We can perform valvuloplasty."
"Can we?" Zuo Cidian straightened his back and quickly said, "Then, I'll go and inform the patient's family. You can continue with the surgery."
The preoperative notice had already been signed. Normally, Ling Ran would continue with the valvuloplasty and replacement surgery. However, in general, hospitals and doctors were willing to sign a notice after they made a decision so that they would not be held responsible.
This was just like the notice of critical illness. Normally, it would be enough if the notice was given once, but some hospitals still preferred to give the notice of critical illness continuously. Continuously, continuously …
The young nurse, Wu Lei, stomped her feet and followed Zuo Cidian's footsteps. She quickly left the operating theater.
"Why are you following me?" Zuo Cidian went to the corridor and walked very quickly, but Wu Lei, who was jogging, was almost at the same pace as him.
Wu Lei glanced at Zuo Cidian, bit her lip, and did not say anything.
Zuo Cidian narrowed his eyes. He was already ready to scold someone. This was not the operating theater. Zuo Cidian was confident that as long as the young nurse followed him for another sixty feet, he could scold her until she wanted to resign.
"I can help," Wu Lei lowered her head and whispered.
Zuo Cidian frowned slightly. "What kind of help?"
"Is the family situation of the patient you're going to talk to particularly complicated? There should be a few families waiting outside. "
Zuo Cidian nodded slowly. "They usually don't help, but when the patient is undergoing surgery, they all jump out to make their presence known. I'm talking about relatives. "
"I'm quite good at dealing with this kind of thing. Let me go," the young nurse, Wu Lei said confidently.
Zuo Cidian looked at her suspiciously and asked, "This thing is not certified. Where did you learn to deal with it?"
"I have two or three boyfriends. If I can't get along well with them, how can I go to work with peace of mind?" Wu Lei's answer was serious!
…..
Zuo Cidian brought Wu Lei to meet the family of the patient, Old Driver.
This time, other than the daughter whom he met the last time, Old Driver's sisters, brothers, and other family members also crowded over.
The group of people sat in the waiting area and kept talking.
"The people I know only do cardiac stents. Who still does surgery nowadays? Why are you so stupid? Surgery not only slows the recovery, but it's also dangerous! "
"They even added a valve. This is what the hospital discusses."
"That's right. It's just a matter of tens of thousands of RMB. You guys are thinking too much."
The relatives chattered and kept whispering in the patient's daughter's ear.
They did not necessarily have any ulterior motives. Most of the time, they were just bored.
"The person in Bed 102 is the patient's family member." Zuo Cidian coughed a few times and walked into the room.
"Ah … I am." The patient's daughter quickly stood up, and she was a little timid.
"Your father's surgery is still going smoothly. His valvular disease is relatively serious. Now, he's going to perform valvuloplasty. Please sign this." Zuo Cidian took out another notice.
"Oh …" The patient's daughter took the notice and looked at it.
"This is not easy to sign."
"It's because there's a problem inside that we need to sign."
"Where's the patient? Let us take a look at the patient before we sign. "
The crowd started talking again.
The patient's family pushed and shoved each other, and they occupied almost all the seats in front of Zuo Cidian.
Wu Lei looked at Zuo Cidian worriedly. No matter what, he was a man who liked her. If she could avoid being taken advantage of by outsiders, she would rather not be taken advantage of by outsiders.
She could not afford to be taken advantage of.
At this time, Zuo Cidian took out another form that he had prepared a long time ago and said, "There's one more thing. You'd better borrow money from your relatives and friends for the continuation of the surgery. Pay as much as you can …"
Before his voice faded away, the relatives who were pushing and shoving each other obviously became gentler, and the direction of their push seemed to change.
