Ling Ran put on his lead apron and went to the operating table.
Intraoperative angiography required exposure to radiation. The hospital's Orthopedics Department and Cardiology Department were rich because they had to eat radiation for every surgery.
It was wishful thinking for orthopedic surgeons and cardiologists to want to increase the number of surgeries they performed. Therefore, even a very powerful hospital would always give more resources to the Orthopedics Department, Cardiology Department, and other departments when considering all aspects. At the very least, they would take less money from them or turn a blind eye to certain equipment.
For doctors, they were very unhappy and reluctant to eat radiation, but they could only comfort themselves. 'Radiation needs to be accumulated before it can be effective, so it's okay to eat a little and control the total amount of radiation they eat every year.'
However, without official statistics, the Orthopedics Department and Cardiology Department in the hospital would always have one or two cancer patients every few years, and it was quite strange.
In practice, doctors still tried their best to avoid radiation. Wearing lead aprons was one thing, and they also tried their best to do other surgeries. It was also explained by the theory of accumulation. As long as ordinary people did not eat a lot of radiation, it would be fine.
However, no matter how the doctors separated the surgeries, they still had to eat radiation when it was time.
Ling Ran was also prepared to eat radiation.
He did not need to do this when he performed hepatectomy or finger replantation. Normal cardiovascular surgeries such as heart bypass surgery did not need to do this. However, it was not the case for critical cardiovascular patients in the Emergency Department. They had to at least be prepared to eat radiation.
From this point of view, the Emergency Department was indeed the most miserable position in the hospital. Not only did they have to face conflicts, but they might also have to face radiation. Their income was so low that they had to face life and their wives.
"Multiple rib fractures, lung contusion, the scapula of the left shoulder is fractured, the left radial artery and bilateral femoral arteries have weakened …" Department Director Kang anxiously reported the detailed examination.
Any life-threatening disease was life-threatening in the eyes of doctors. In the eyes of a doctor, any kind of life-threatening disease was a life-threatening emergency.
Even if modern medicine was said to be advanced, in reality, the mortality rate of cardiovascular surgeries was still not advanced, and the mortality rate of aortic dissection was even higher.
Ling Ran's expression was equally serious.
While Department Director Kang was doing the examination, he was also thinking quickly.
By the time Department Director Kang finished his report, Ling Ran had completely calmed down.
"Open the chest." Ling Ran's first order was very simple, and he used simple terms that everyone could understand.
However, several cardiovascular surgeons, including Department Director Kang, became solemn.
There are many treatment options for aortic dissection. In fact, if one were to list out the various treatment plans for aortic dissection, twenty to thirty of them would be considered major categories. Therefore, the doctors were faced with a huge problem as to what kind of treatment plan to adopt. However, the development of aortic dissection was extremely fast, and doctors did not have enough time to make a diagnosis.
If it were any other type of surgery, even if the wrong surgical plan was chosen, it was still possible to bypass it during the surgery through various paths or use other repair strategies.
However, patients with aortic dissection were usually not so easy to deal with. In other words, patients with aortic dissection often died too quickly and did not have much time to take detours.
No matter how one looked at it, making a decision on the direction of the surgery was extremely difficult and risky. Correspondingly, there was no need to mention the requirements for the chief surgeon.
Those who worked in cardiovascular surgeries, the Emergency Department, and the Department of Anesthesiology had seen a lot of chief surgeons standing in front of the operating table hesitating. Ling Ran could quickly give instructions, and for everyone, they felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.
A few seconds later, as expected, Ling Ran gave further instructions. "Elephant trunk surgery and endovascular stent implantation."
In just a few short sentences, the guidelines and steps of the surgery were basically completed.
Department Director Kang could not help but secretly sigh. As the most professional cardiovascular surgeon in the room — Ling Ran was a part-time doctor — Department Director Kang did not have any confidence in the surgery in front of him at all. Forget giving him directions, he was already very stressed when he followed Ling Ran to perform the surgery. Ling Ran was the only one who was holding the fort.
Department Director Kang raised his head and could not help but ask, "Doctor Ling, have you performed the elephant trunk surgery before?"
He had seen all of Ling Ran's cardiovascular surgeries, but obviously, he had not seen the elephant trunk surgery before.
Ling Ran also shook his head, not surprised, and said, "No."
"Hmm …" Department Director Kang responded with silence. There was nothing wrong with going to the operating table in this kind of emergency situation if he had not performed this type of surgery before. It was impossible for doctors to master all the skills, but when patients were sick, they often had extraordinary imaginations.
Therefore, when faced with emergency surgery, it was very normal for doctors to prepare for the surgery at the last minute. As for the effect of the surgery, a surgical method that had not been performed before would definitely be inferior to a surgical method that had been performed before. But with basic skills and theoretical knowledge, high-ranking doctors could still guarantee a certain success rate.
Nurse Niu, who had worked in Yun Hua Hospital for many years, followed up at this time and said, "Department Director Kang, have you performed this surgery before?"
"No." Department Director Kang answered very quickly.
Nurse Niu let out a fake sigh of regret. Of course, she knew that Department Director Kang had not performed this surgery before. If he had done it before, Nurse Niu would not have asked.
"Everyone, do your best."
In the silent atmosphere, Ling Ran stood up again.
Although he did not often do things like boosting morale, the effect when he did it had always been very good.
"Forceps."
Ling Ran extended his hand, grabbed a large blue forceps, and immediately cut the patient's ribs.
[Mission: Save the patient]
[Mission Details: This is the first surgery in the hybrid operating theater. You should perform better.]
[Mission Progress: (0/1)]
[Mission Reward: Radiation Resistance Serum]
Ling Ran only glanced at the screen of the system with the corner of his eye. Then, he lowered his head and dissociated the blood vessels.
Although it was an extremely urgent surgery, the necessary steps could not be skipped. Otherwise, before he could see the problematic blood vessels, the blood vessels in the surgical approach would first rebel.
At the same time, Associate Chief Physician Li and Chief Physician Tao from the General Surgery Department also went to work again. They began to examine the abdomen and dissociate the blood vessels. They were ready to remove the injured spleen.
The two groups of people performed the surgery at two different positions at the same time. The place was tense, and the surgery was even more tense, so much so that the atmosphere of nervousness seemed to have sublimated.
It was also at this moment that Associate Chief Physician Li noticed a hint of Ling Ran's terror when he looked over from where he stood.
The nameless artery, the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery were all dangerous arteries that would cause blood to gush out when touched, but Ling Ran quickly dissociated them as if he was peeling a shrimp.
