Chapter 219 Heart Bypass Surgery ([-])

Chapter 219 Heart bypass surgery ([-])

At noon the next day, Qin Feng went to check on the patient's condition to ensure that the operation was in the best condition, and he prepared to push the patient into the operating room.

Before, Qin Feng went out of the ward and explained a few words to the patient's wife.

Because she couldn't accompany the bed, the patient's wife sat on the chair outside the ward all the time. Qin Feng also saw it before coming.

"Doctor Qin, how is my husband?"

"It's okay, I'm just preparing for the operation now. If I suggest you find a place to rest first, don't appear in front of your husband, otherwise it will easily cause emotional changes in the patient and video the progress of the operation." Qin Feng said.

"Ah?" The patient's wife nodded in embarrassment.

When Qin Feng was about to re-enter the ward, the patient's wife spoke again.

"Doctor Qin, can I ask you one thing?"

"You say, as long as I can do it." Qin Feng said seriously.

"When you push him out, can you make his head face the end of the corridor. If I stand there, he can't see me, but I can see him." The patient's wife choked.

Qin Feng thought for a while, "Yes."

"Thank you, Doctor."

Qin Feng entered the ward and arranged for nurses to push the patient to the operating room.

When going out, Qin Feng strictly followed what the patient's wife said, and turned the patient's head towards the end of the corridor.

After walking a certain distance, Qin Feng raised his head and subconsciously glanced at the end of the corridor, and saw the patient's wife holding her bag between her legs and looking straight at this side.

Although I can't see the look clearly, for Qin Feng, the burden on his shoulders is a bit heavier.

Qin Feng and others walked further and further away, while the patient's wife kept approaching until they entered the ward.

Sitting on the hospital bed, holding a corner of the quilt cover tightly in his hand, he gently placed it on the tip of his nose, and the sound of sobs slowly echoed in the ward.

Her husband was hospitalized, although she didn't care about her in front of her husband, in fact, her inner suffering was not much less than that of a patient.

On the other side, Qin Feng and others have entered the operating room.

"Doctor, I'm a little scared." The patient said with a wry smile.

For some reason, he was lying under the shadowless lamp, and the shadowless light gave him the feeling of depression and tension, making him feel like he wanted to escape.

Qin Feng put on a mask and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a heart bypass surgery. You have to know that the former president of the United States also had this surgery."

"He's already the president, shouldn't he have a dedicated doctor? Why does he still need surgery?" The patient's curiosity was aroused.

"It's true that he is the president, but he is also a human being. His body structure is similar to ours. In addition, the eating habits over there are not very good. There are a lot of heavy oil and fried food. The United States is also a country with the largest number of people with high blood pressure and high blood lipids. These diseases can lead to myocardial infarction." Qin Feng explained.

"Then the level of surgery in their country is much better than that in our country?" the patient asked.

Qin Feng shook his head, "No, in terms of surgical skills, our country's doctors are not inferior to them. After all, our ancestors were trained in blood. Compared with their ivory tower growth, the skills of our country's ancestors' doctors are The level of surgery can be said to be tempered by artillery fire and blood, and in some surgeries, we are even ahead of them."

"It's just that their technological level is an inherent advantage. Some equipment can't be manufactured in our country, and our country can't import it. They use the power of machines to complete manual operations."

"I feel that machines will never be as good as human beings." The patient sighed.

"I can't say for sure. Some operations performed by robots are more accurate than old doctors. There are some things that I can't say for sure." Qin Feng said.

The patient nodded. While chatting, the anesthetic was constantly taking effect.

In the end, only the steady breathing of the patient remained, and Qin Feng also interrupted the conversation, and began to operate seriously.

"Brother Qin, is the internal thoracic artery bypass surgery or the radial artery bypass surgery performed in this operating room?" Zhao Qi asked.

Since it was a cardiovascular bypass surgery, Qin Feng chose Zhao Qi, who was born in the vascular department. As an assistant, Zhao Qi would not be worse than other doctors in the Second Hospital, not to mention that he was best at vascular surgery.

"Radial artery bypass surgery." Qin Feng said.

Internal thoracic artery bypass surgery can ensure the patency of the blood vessels in the long run, and can also regulate the blood flow required by the physiology through the myocardial blood supply. The chance of atherosclerosis in the later stage is very small, but the length of the internal thoracic artery is limited, so it is not suitable for patients Current situation.

On the contrary, although the patency rate of radial artery bypass surgery is not as good as that of internal thoracic artery bypass surgery, there is no need to worry about the length of the blood vessels, and all blood vessels in the affected area can be replaced as much as possible.

It’s just that radial artery bypass surgery has higher requirements on the level of the operator. The higher the level of the operator, the smaller the disadvantages of radial artery bypass surgery and the higher the patency rate, and vice versa.

Most cardiovascular doctors will choose internal thoracic artery bypass surgery for heart bypass surgery, which is less difficult and quicker.

"Understood." Zhao Qi responded.

Qin Feng nodded, and the operation officially began.

Zhao Qi first sterilized the skin of the patient's chest and upper limbs. The chest was used to open the heart, and the upper limbs were used as the entrance to the radial artery.

The radial artery is also the most common bridge among blood vessels. Like the great saphenous vein and the internal thoracic artery, the tissues they connect are all alternative blood vessels.

The simplest example is the palm of the human body. The deep palm arch and the superficial palm arch can replace the radial artery and supply compensatory blood to the radial side of the hand, thereby ensuring that the blood supply can remain normal even if the radial artery is missing.

Transplanting blood vessels will definitely have an impact on the patient's body. For example, after surgery, the patient cannot do heavy work and is prone to sweating.

But compared to saving lives, these are nothing.

After disinfection, Qin Feng started the operation directly.

It is not a minimally invasive surgery to make a 5cm incision on the patient's skin surface with a scalpel. Naturally, a larger field of view is better.

Although Qin Feng is very confident in his surgical skills, he still needs to pay attention.

Soon, the radial artery was found, the blood flow around the radial artery was quickly blocked, and the distal pulse of the palm was observed for several minutes.

Theoretically, the palm deep bow and the palm shallow bow can provide compensatory blood supply, but Qin Feng also prevents accidents, and the human body is the most accident-prone place.

You never know which one will come first, hope or accident, how many doctors came to the stage with great enthusiasm, but ended up dismal because of inattentive observation.

It is naturally impossible for Qin Feng to make such a mistake. After observing for a full 5 minutes, the pulse was normal, and the blood oxygen saturation of the thumb artery did not drop significantly, so Qin Feng proceeded to the next step.
