Chapter 49 Turn the tide
After a while, doctors from vascular surgery and cardiovascular medicine arrived, and Liu Yan, the head nurse of the operating room, even pushed the transfer bed to the door of the operating room.

But as soon as there was a glimmer of hope, new problems arose.

The angiography room is on the third floor.

It is too risky to transfer patients who are undergoing external cardiac compression from the operating room on the second floor to the contrast room on the third floor, because during the transfer period, effective cardiac compression cannot be guaranteed at all.

Just when everyone was at a loss and fell into despair again.

Zhao Heng suddenly said: "If you can't go to the imaging room, you can do bedside TEE."

TEE, that is, transesophageal echocardiography, can observe the condition of the heart without contrast, and most importantly, it can be done directly at the bedside.

Zhao Heng's ability to think of this, of course, also came from the experience fusion of old Professor Huang Guangyu.

"TEE? Yes, you can do TEE!"

A doctor in cardiovascular medicine said suddenly.

"Old Gao?"

Ning Yunhao almost looked at Gao Jun with pleading eyes.

Everyone here, maybe only Gao Jun, a senior anesthesiologist, may be able to do TEE.

Because TEE is an inspection method that has only been developed in recent years, it is very cutting-edge, and ordinary anesthesiologists have never done it.

"it is good."

Gao Jun has only heard of TEE, and he has only heard of the specific operation process.

Although he was not sure, but at this time, he could only grit his teeth and go on.

"Teacher, I just asked Mr. Huang about this issue recently, let me come."

Just when Gao Jun was about to grit his teeth, Zhao Heng said suddenly.

"Old Huang? Okay, you come!"

Under the current situation, every minute and every second is an important moment that determines the patient's life and death, so Gao Jun just thought for a second and nodded immediately.

He decided to let Zhao Heng go!
After all, everyone is helpless and helpless now.

Gao Jun agreed, and the others naturally had no objections. However, seeing such a young Zhao Heng on top, everyone felt hopeless!
"Teacher Ning, I need 2 minutes."

Zhao Heng looked at Ning Yunhao and said.

To do TEE, the heart compression must be stopped for 2 minutes. This inspection must be completed during the interval of stopping the external heart compression.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

In an instant, Ning Yunhao gritted his teeth and made a decision.

You must know that once you stop the external compression of the heart, you may miss the best rescue time. This responsibility is too heavy.

At this moment, all eyes were on Zhao Heng.

Can this young man create a miracle?

Next, head nurse Liu Yan quickly pushed the instrument in, and Zhao Heng took over and started the operation.

Soon, the image of the heart appeared on the screen.

Zhao Heng immediately stared at the display screen tightly.

And all the other people didn't dare to breathe, their hearts were clenched so hard that it reached their throats.

Finally, 2 minutes later.

Zhao Heng said, "There is an air embolism in the right atrium, prepare the superior vena cava catheter immediately."

At this moment, Zhao Heng seemed to merge with the figure of old Professor Huang Guangyu in his memory.

"I'm going to prepare."

Liu Yan, the head nurse in the operating room, seemed to be overwhelmed by the aura displayed by Zhao Heng at this moment, and immediately went to prepare things.

After a while, head nurse Liu Yan rushed in with the catheter and implanted equipment.

Zhao Heng took the catheter and inserted it into the superior vena cava in just over a minute.

The moment the catheter entered the right atrium of the heart, the patient's heart resumed beating.

It worked!
It's hard to describe in words the feeling that everyone is being pardoned.

At this moment, 35 minutes have passed since the heart stopped beating!

This is absolutely a miracle!
And it happened right in front of everyone's eyes.

Ning Yunhao, the chief surgeon, was even more black before his eyes. At this moment, he felt that his feet were limp, and he was a little unsteady in standing.

"Xiao Zhao, good job!"

Gao Jun looked at Zhao Heng with a look of relief and said.

"Okay, let's continue with the operation."

The director of the operating room, Xu Wenqiang, was standing outside the operating room, and he witnessed the complete process with his own eyes.

It can be said that Zhao Heng eliminated a serious crisis with his own strength.

In recent years, the contradiction between doctors and patients has become increasingly acute, and the living environment is not optimistic.

In such a big environment, a patient died in an ordinary operation, even for Dongfang Hospital, it was considered a very bad incident, let alone Ning Yunhao, the chief surgeon.

If this patient really died on the operating table, it would be unimaginable what would happen to Ning Yunhao, the chief surgeon.

"Xiao Zhao, not bad."

Xu Wenqiang walked up to Zhao Heng and said very appreciatively.

This young man is reliable!
Such a reliable young man is rare now!
Xu Wenqiang couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Next, the patient was rescued, and the operation naturally returned to normal. At this time, Ning Yunhao had undergone extracorporeal heart compressions for half an hour, and his arms were already sore, not to mention the pain he had endured in such a short period of time. enormous psychological pressure.

Therefore, an attending doctor came to the neurosurgery department to take over his operation, while Ning Yunhao sat on the side to rest.

"Xiao Zhao, thank you so much for today."

Sitting next to Zhao Heng, Ning Yunhao said to Zhao Heng gratefully.

If it weren't for Zhao Heng today, he really couldn't imagine what kind of consequences he would bear.

To be able to become the deputy chief doctor of Dongfang Hospital, Ning Yunhao's efforts and painstaking efforts over the years are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If such a serious medical accident really happened today, then everything that Ning Yunhao has gained through hard work may be wiped out.

Medical malpractice is the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all surgeons!
"Yes, Xiao Zhao, everyone has noticed your performance today."

Gao Jun also said very gratified.

There is a very rare quality in Zhao Heng. The more critical the situation is, the calmer he will be, and the more he will be able to come up with a solution in a very short time.

Whenever there is a big event, there is calmness. This quality has been necessary for those who have achieved great things since ancient times.

"Xiao Zhao, how did you think that the cause of the patient's cardiac arrest was the right atrium air embolism? After so many years and so many operations, I have never encountered such a situation where the right atrium air embolism caused the patient's heart to stop beating. Pass."

Seemingly relaxing a bit, Ning Yunhao asked again in great doubt.

This kind of situation today is extremely rare. If it hadn't been encountered before, it would be impossible to imagine.

This is the blind spot of thinking. It can be said that clinically, when a patient has an emergency, the attending doctor falls into the blind spot of thinking, and does not think about the real cause of the patient's attack. Generally, the consequences will be very serious.

"I went to a class before, and I just discussed this situation with an old professor. I was in a hurry today, so I remembered it."

Zhao Heng said.
