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

"Will this work?"

The nurse was stunned. After all, medical materials are different from other industrial products.

To deal with patients, the first thing to solve is the sterility problem.

This makes many people discouraged.

What's more, thoracentesis itself is to enter the patient's body, which is an invasive operation. What if the items are not clean and cause internal organ infection?

This is a life-threatening matter.

Seeing that the nurse was still hesitating, Xia Tao, who was standing by, thought that this was feasible after hearing Xiao Chenguang's item requirements.

"Xiao Xiao, you want to use the one-way valve principle to make a few simple chest bottles for emergency use, right?"

Although Xia Tao has no experience in making chest bottles, he is still clear about the working principle of closed chest drainage.

"Yes, as long as the items are sterile, it is still okay to temporarily replace them for a few hours."

When Xiao Chenguang was invited to serve as the chairman of a conference abroad, he met a child who was hit by a billboard at the airport.

He suddenly developed hemothorax and had difficulty breathing. He was about to suffocate to death.

Xiao Chenguang made a simple chest bottle on the spot to save the patient.

At that time, the materials on hand were not as complete as they are now, so for him, such emergencies were not a concern at all.

Soon, all the things Xiao Chenguang wanted were found.

Glass bottles, infusion sets, scissors, tape...

Simple, most of them are daily necessities, the only difference is that these are sterile.

Looking at the items placed on the operating cart, the nurse was still a little worried.

But she now knew that if Xiao Chenguang did not use these things to make a simple chest bottle, the injured in the emergency room would most likely be suffocated to death.

"It must succeed."

Seeing the nurse's worried look, Xiao Chenguang began to assemble the chest bottle.

Put on the sterile sheet, Xiao Chenguang tore open the packaging of all the items and put them on the table.

Put on gloves, pick up sterile scissors, cut off the upper and lower needles of the infusion set, and only keep the area of ​​the Murphy dropper.

He then folded the drainage tube in half, cut it in the middle, and then picked up the tape beside him and began to wrap the two tubes together to fix them.

"Normal saline."

As the glass bottle was filled with saline, a mark was made on the reserved horizontal surface.

Xiao Chenguang put the wrapped infusion tube into the glass bottle filled with water.

The length of the two tubes was just kept at the upper and lower ends of the water surface.

Then, the bottle stopper sealed the mouth of the glass bottle and wrapped it with tape again to ensure the seal.

"Director Xia, help me disinfect the chest bottle again."

Xiao Chenguang quickly finished all this and shouted to Xia Tao beside him.

"Okay."

Even Xia Tao was a little unsure about this extremely simple chest bottle in front of him. Whether it would work.

At this time, a firm voice came.

"Doctor Xiao, I have disinfected the patient's skin again, and it can be punctured and drained at any time."

Lin Gaoyang, as Xiao Chenguang's assistant, was preparing for the puncture and drainage of the wounded while the latter was making the chest bottle.

He quickly disinfected and prepared the puncture needle, and did not have any doubts about the chest bottle.

For him, every step of Xiao Chenguang was right.

No matter how simple the chest bottle in front of him was, as long as Xiao Chenguang said it was okay, it would definitely work.

"Okay, let's get started."

Xiao Chenguang glanced at Lin Gaoyang, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

He took off his gloves, threw them away, washed his hands and disinfected them again, and began to prepare for the final puncture.

At this moment, Dean Li came over.

"Xiao Xiao, don't worry about the operation. I have called the material supplier and limited them to deliver the chest bottle in half an hour."

After a short rest just now, Li Guoyong's eyes have returned to normal.

When he heard that the chest bottle was sold out, he called the hospital's supplier as soon as possible.

Perhaps his skills are not even qualified to be Xiao Chenguang's assistant.

But as the director of Shengli Hospital, some things are easy to solve if he steps in.

For example, for this chest bottle, Li Guoyong personally called the supplier, who was still half asleep. When he saw the director's call, he contacted the manufacturer to deliver the goods without even getting dressed.

With Director Li's guarantee, everyone's hanging hearts fell by half.

In half an hour, even if the chest bottle made does not work, the patient may be able to hold on until the supplier delivers the goods.

In this way, the patient's life is saved.

Just when everyone was rejoicing, Xiao Chenguang had already started the operation.

It was still precise positioning and puncture, and blood quickly flowed out.

Xiao Chenguang clamped the catheter with a vascular clamp, and then looked at Xia Tao.

"Director Xia, drainage bottle."

"Okay."

The sterilized chest bottle was brought over by Xia Tao.

"Now?"

Xia Tao's handTaking the chest bottle, I still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

If the chest bottle is not airtight, the saline will flow back and pour into the patient's lungs...

If there are bacteria in the catheter, they will enter the chest cavity along the lumen, causing inflammation, high fever, infection...

If...

This feeling is like going back to the time when he just graduated and was doing internship. For the uncertain things in front of him, he always likes to think in the worst direction.

"It's okay, just connect it."

Although Xia Tao was uneasy, Xiao Chenguang's expression did not change from beginning to end.

As the drainage tube was connected, the hemostatic forceps that Xiao Chenguang had been clamping on the catheter began to loosen.

Everyone present held their breath, and no one dared to disturb Xiao Chenguang at this moment.

They stared at the chest bottle in front of them.

Some people even secretly pushed the rescue cart to the bedside of the injured.

In case the chest bottle does not work and the patient has a problem, rescue can also be carried out at the first time.

At this time, the entire rescue room was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

"Release."

The hemostatic forceps in Xiao Chenguang's hand suddenly opened.

The catheter connected to the patient's lungs began to collect blood and flow into the simple chest bottle.

In a moment, the saline in the glass bottle was dyed bright red.

At this time, everyone was still nervously watching the patient's drainage.

At this time, a tiny bubble began to drill into the chest bottle along the lumen.

It began to rise and fall with the water level, and then rose, gradually forming a bubble the size of a fingernail.

The bubble pushed out of the water surface with the pressure, turned into a ripple, and spread around.

Snoring...Snoring...

A crisp bubble bursting sound sounded in the quiet rescue room.

The gas in the patient's lungs, along with the effusion, was drained out of the body.

The symptoms of hemothorax were relieved instantly.

The patient's rapid breathing finally began to ease, and gradually, along with the painful expression, it also eased a lot.

"It really works!"

"Xiao Xiao, you can do it, you are so awesome!"

The nurse who had been closely observing the vital signs of the injured was as happy as a child.

And Xia Tao seemed even more excited.

"Quick, quick, follow Xiao Xiao's steps just now, make the other two chest bottles, and use them for the injured as soon as possible."

Seeing that the effect of the simple chest bottle was so good, it was almost no different from the chest closed drainage bottle purchased by the hospital.

At this moment, everyone's eyes lit up.

Soon, two more chest bottles were made.

With puncture and drainage, the chest bottles began to drain fluid and air in an orderly manner, and the acute condition of the last two seriously injured patients was also relieved.

Everyone looked around and looked at the peaceful patients around them, with a dull expression.

"End... is it over?"

The car accident patient who was in a very dangerous situation just now and almost made everyone collapse.

Now they are all safe and sound and receiving follow-up treatment.

"It's over."

As Xiao Chenguang finished speaking, the originally silent emergency room suddenly burst into warm cheers.

"Dr. Xiao, you are so amazing, you are simply the idol of our emergency department!"

"No, no, Dr. Xiao is not only the idol of your emergency department, he is the idol of everyone in our entire Shengli Hospital."

"I never thought that a few ordinary things would become the key to saving lives in the hands of Dr. Xiao."

"This ability is simply unbelievable!"

For a while, everyone was excited.

Even some nurses had red eyes and almost shed tears with excitement.

But among these people, the most excited one was Li Guoyong.

"Xiao Xiao, the emergency department was able to successfully complete the rescue mission this time, thanks to you."

He patted Xiao Chenguang's shoulder again and suddenly said, "By the way, Director Xiao, what do you think of the emergency department?"

As soon as these words came out, the cheers at the scene stopped abruptly.

The entire emergency room seemed to have been paused.

Everyone looked at Xiao Chenguang in unison, their hearts filled with shock.
