Chapter 516: What Is a Master For?
A patient who was hanging by a thread was forcefully dragged into the operating room.
This was already a success!
Indeed!
Chen Cang's ability to bring back a patient with a ruptured ascending aorta to the hospital with stable vital signs was nothing short of a miracle.
Who else could have done it?
Let's not talk about whether they would dare to perform surgery in an ambulance.
But who could make a clear diagnosis through the abdominal wall of where the bleeding was?
Who could so precisely determine the site of the bleeding and react swiftly?
Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng asked themselves!
Could they do it?
But Chen Cang did.
Accompanied by Wang Qian, a doctor with almost no experience in cardiac surgery, and an experienced emergency driver, they successfully rescued a patient who was on the brink of death.
This was capability!
An undeniable capability.
In Xia Gaofeng's eyes as he looked at Chen Cang, for some reason, they were filled with respect!
Xia Gaofeng swallowed and opened his mouth but then hesitated to speak.
At this moment, Li Baoshan hurried over, glanced at Chen Cang who was washing his hands in preparation for surgery, and then at Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng.
He couldn't help but look up and ask, "How is it going?"
Tao Zi pointed at Chen Cang and sighed, "Old Li, I really envy you for having such an outstanding young man!"
"I tell you, in this case, little Chen has done something that not all of our generation could do, precise diagnosis, decisive surgery, and a sharp style, I'm a bit impressed!"
"Moreover, I tell you, our hospital's rescue team won't take long to become the sharpest rescue blade in Anyang City!"
That single statement left Li Baoshan somewhat astonished, but he looked up at Chen Cang, who was washing his hands, and fell silent.
After washing his hands, Chen Cang nodded to Li Baoshan, Tao Zi, and the others and walked towards the operating room!
Nurse Yuan Yuan quickly prepared his gown and helped Chen Cang put it on.
Everyone standing by the operating table stepped aside to clear the main surgeon's position.
The nearby anesthesiologist, Liu Jian, also gestured to Chen Cang that the surgery could start!
The blood transfusion department began reporting on the transfusion status.
...
Chen Cang nodded and said thank you.
At that moment, the thoracic cavity was clean; Zhang Wenfu and Wang Kai'an had already cleaned the blood inside.
Wang Kai'an said, "I've used antibiotics."
Chen Cang nodded, looked at the two of them, and couldn't help feeling reassured.
This is what a team is!
While you're preparing, they've already done all the preliminary work for you.
Glancing at the ECG monitor and seeing steady vital signs, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief!
This trip was not in vain!
The most dangerous part was already behind them; comparatively, it wasn't as dangerous anymore.
The surgery to repair the ascending aorta was something Chen Cang had learned on his own, at only a basic level.
But without any hesitation, Chen Cang immediately spent skill points to upgrade to a master level.
Suddenly, 7 points were consumed, leaving his wallet much lighter, with only 9 skill points remaining.
Now, the main task for Chen Cang was to repair the ascending aorta. The ascending aorta is, theoretically, like the descending aorta, part of the thoracic aorta, but the critical difference lies in the fact that...
After it is damaged, it often comes with contusions to the pericardium and injuries to the heart itself, increasing the difficulty and risk factor exponentially during repair.
After all, you're not just mending a blood vessel; it involves the heart and pericardium as well.
In an instant, Chen Cang opened his eyes; after special training, when he looked at the ascending aorta again, he had a clear understanding.
[Ruptured ascending aorta monster, lv61, rare monster, warning: The ruptured ascending aorta is accompanied by a tear in the anterior wall and a split in the posterior wall, be careful when suturing.]
Perhaps it was due to the split in the posterior wall that increased the surgical difficulty, making this ruptured ascending aorta monster a rare one.
The forearm is easy to deal with.
Chen Cang, "Size four polyester suture."
The nurse nodded and handed it over.
Zhang Wenfu looked at Chen Cang, at this young team leader who was seven or eight years his junior, with respect and a flood of emotions.
Being himself from the department of cardiothoracic surgery, he was well aware of the operations and critical conditions related to it, but he was stunned when he saw Chen Cang bring back such a patient!
When he watched the heart beating slowly and saw Chen Cang holding the blood vessels with both hands, Zhang Wenfu admired him from the bottom of his heart!
On his first day in the emergency department, he was conquered by Chen Cang!
Strength is the best language.
Wasn't Wang Kai'an the same?
...
...
Meanwhile, outside the operating room, Xia Gaofeng slapped his forehead, "No, that's wrong! I just remembered, I demonstrated this aortic arch repair surgery to Chen Cang two days ago! I'll go check on the surgery."
As he spoke, he entered the operating room, and Tao Zi felt her heart sink and followed him in.
The risks associated with the ascending aorta were still much higher compared to the descending aorta.
Thinking that Chen Cang had just learned it, Tao Zi also felt apprehensive.
However…
Tao Zi saw Chen's repair work and was stunned for a moment, then glared fiercely at Xia Gaofeng, "Are you messing with me for fun?"
Xia Gaofeng was confused and didn't know how to explain…
I really just taught him the day before yesterday?
This… what's going on here?
Tao Zi looked at Chen Cang's suture repairs with a smile and teasingly looked at Xia Gaofeng, clicking her tongue, her eyes full of amusement: Do you have the nerve? Chen Cang is doing it even better than you. You said you taught him? Are you kidding me?
Tao Zi's eyes were also wide with disbelief!
Because Chen Cang's suturing style was totally different from her own and from Tao Zi's—it was a unique suture technique.
That's why Xia Gaofeng wasn't inclined to argue with Tao Zi and started watching seriously.
This was undoubtedly a learning opportunity for him.
The surgery ticked by minute by minute.
When it came to repairing the posterior wall, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng exchanged glances—this part was difficult…
However, Chen Cang changed his technique, slightly adjusted the patient's position, and said to Zhang Wenfu, "Remove the non-invasive hemostat and then raise the number two hemostat thirty degrees."
Zhang Wenfu was startled and didn't understand.
But he did as he was told, and to his amazement, he found that dealing with this kind of posterior wall injury… seemed to be much easier!
At this moment, the three people from the cardiothoracic surgery department around him were astounded.
Awesome!
Simply a stroke of genius!
The surgery continued to progress second by second, and Chen Cang's repair work was also nearing completion.
Tao Zi didn't linger too long, sarcastically glanced at Xia Gaofeng, "Great teaching! The master has been surpassed by the disciple in just two days!"
Xia Gaofeng snorted, "That means the master is skilled, and the disciple is talented!"
Tao Zi was taken aback and looked at Xia Gaofeng, this guy wasn't usually so thick-skinned, was he?
At that time, many people outside the emergency department were anxiously waiting for the results of the surgery; even He Tong from the emergency center had come in person, as he also knew about the uniqueness of this surgery.
This was the first battle for the provincial second hospital's emergency department!
