Back to 1999: From operating surgeons to becoming a top doctor

On the other side of the emergency room, Director Xia Tao was concentrating on performing thoracentesis on the seriously injured with Lin Gaoyang.

Because it was a professional technique, they were familiar with it and cooperated well.

However, for patients with traumatic hemothorax, puncture was more complicated and required more.

Xia Tao took the anesthetic and did not use the puncture needle immediately.

Instead, he took the needle that had been aspirated with anesthetic and searched for a suitable puncture point in the bloody chest.

After about three minutes, Xia Tao found the best positioning point.

Lin Gaoyang, who was standing by, was quick and handed over the prepared puncture needle. Seeing this, Xia Tao nodded with satisfaction.

Then the steel needle was immersed in the chest cavity, and the bright red effusion flowed out, and Xia Tao showed a little excitement on his face.

In less than five minutes, he could accurately locate and hit the blood with one needle.

This test not only requires the understanding of the anatomical structure, but also solid basic skills.

At least, Xia Tao was quite satisfied with his operation this time.

Although this is still a gap from his fastest puncture speed, it is not big.

After all, this is a thoracentesis under emergency conditions. If he can do this, I think no one in Shengli Hospital can be better than him in thoracentesis.

"Gao Yang, did you see my operation clearly just now?"

"Pneumothorax and hemothorax have different positioning, and the puncture strength and depth are also different."

"You are still young, and you have a long way to go in the future. Learn well, understand."

Xia Tao was operating while teaching by example.

The biggest problem of young doctors nowadays is that they rely too much on auxiliary equipment.

It seems that they can't work without examination.

Every time they do a thoracentesis, they have to wait for the B-ultrasound machine to be pushed over and see it clearly before they dare to operate.

If they encounter an emergency puncture like this, wouldn't they all be dumbfounded.

Xia Tao shook his head helplessly.

Oh, by the way, I don't know how Xiao Chenguang is doing.

Speaking of young doctors, Xia Tao's most impressive one is Xiao Chenguang under Lao Wang.

He is sharp and decisive in operation, and is very good at surgery, suturing, and hemostasis.

I guess thoracentesis won't make people worry too much.

After Xia Tao completed another thoracentesis, he wanted to see how Xiao Chenguang was doing.

If there was any trouble, he could also go over to help.

Xia Tao looked up and instinctively looked at the farthest point.

The dozen beds behind him were busy. Many wounded had completed thoracentesis and were being transferred to other beds with the help of medical staff.

What's going on? !

Xia Tao was startled, and then he found that Xiao Chenguang was very close to him, and it seemed that he was only three or four beds away.

Surprise, confusion, puzzlement...

All kinds of emotions instantly surged into Xia Tao's heart.

At this time, Xiao Chenguang alone completed the needle insertion, suturing, and fixing...

In an instant, a chest puncture and drainage operation was completed.

The extreme operation and precise puncture shocked Xia Tao.

"What speed is this?!"

Xia Tao looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

The chest closed drainage that Xiao Chenguang was doing at this moment was as fast as a flash of lightning. This kind of assembly line-like operation gave people a strong visual impact.

At this moment, almost all the medical staff present were surrounding Xiao Chenguang.

Some helped with disinfection, some connected chest bottles, and some were tidying up the pipelines...

But even so, everyone was still very busy.

Seeing this, Xia Tao's arrogance was instantly shattered.

He felt even more ashamed.

In the time he had completed two chest punctures, Xiao Chenguang had already done at least a dozen.

And each puncture was done quickly and well. So far, no surgical complications have occurred.

Xia Tao couldn't even compare to this strength.

"Director, should we still wear it?"

Lin Gaoyang was also a little stuttering at this moment. Xiao Chenguang's operation shocked not only Xia Tao, but also everyone present.

"Wear..."

Xia Tao's fart almost came out of his mouth, but he swallowed it back and sighed.

"Go help Xiao Xiao, the patient needs him the most at this moment."

"Okay."

Lin Gaoyang's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he ran over immediately.

Xia Tao: "..."

Really old, Xia Tao sighed, watching the young people actively treating patients, and their always energetic appearance made people feel mixed emotions.

I don't know whether I am frustrated or relieved.

But for Xia Tao, this crisis is probably going to be resolved.

At this moment, the puncture drainage is still going on.

Xiao Chenguang, who was doing red eyes, has forgotten the time, everything around him, and even who assisted him has become unimportant.

He only sees the unfinished handssurgery.

"There are four more, hold on!"

"Three, it's almost over!"

Bloodshot covered Xiao Chenguang's eyes. He didn't blink, but was still operating. His physical strength was overdrawn, and the sweat on his forehead instantly soaked his hoodie and kept dripping down.

Originally in the emergency room, there were a lot of wounded waiting for puncture surgery, but now there are only a few left.

Their vital signs tended to be stable under Xiao Chenguang's operation.

As long as the last three chest punctures are completed, the crisis can be completely resolved.

But at this moment, the nurse who was about to take the chest bottle from the big box suddenly changed her face.

She looked nervous and rummaged through the boxes, but there was nothing in front of her except a pile of unpacked bags.

Fear struck her heart, causing her heart to beat wildly.

"Doctor Xiao, it's bad, the chest closed drainage bottle is used up!"

"What?"

Xiao Chenguang paused.

The steel needle that was about to pierce the skin of the wounded was suspended in the air for a long time without falling.

Xia Tao, who heard the news, was also stunned.

"Didn't I ask someone to bring all the chest bottles in the department?"

"Yes, they are all here, but... they are still not enough."

The nurse was so anxious that she was about to cry.

At this time, there were only three wounded who needed puncture.

But without the chest bottle, no matter how strong Xiao Chenguang's operation and technology were, it would be useless.

The patient's symptoms could not be improved, and the situation would only get worse.

"Material warehouse, operating room, don't they have any?"

"We have borrowed all that we can, and now I'm afraid there is no chest bottle in the entire Shengli Hospital."

The nurse was extremely anxious, but helpless.

After all, the incident happened suddenly, and no one expected that so many seriously injured people would need chest puncture.

Some patients even had bilateral chest drainage.

The chest bottles were in urgent need, and the hospital had limited reserves of such consumables, which were only used by a few departments.

Now that the materials were exhausted, a suffocating feeling came over me as I watched the wounded still in pain in the emergency room.

Just then, a deep voice sounded.

"What are you afraid of? If there are no chest bottles, just use other things instead."

"Go find some infusion sets and glass bottles for hanging water."

"If there are no chest bottles, make some."
