Chapter 2679 Family Members and First Responsible Person

Xiang Heping carefully pulled out the catheter, but was stunned to find that the catheter was broken.

What the hell! MLGBD!!

On the green grassland in Director Xiang's heart, countless alpacas galloped past, crushing a lot of grass.

I have had thousands of epidural anesthesias in my life, why did the accident happen at my old man's place? !

impossible!

Director Xiang took the catheter and carefully observed the broken end, trying to deny his previous thoughts.

But the facts have proved that there is no dizziness, and there is no misreading. If it is broken, it is broken. How can Xiang Heping be an old anesthetist for 20 or 30 years, and he can't make a mistake about this.

The assistant is also confused, what's going on? Could it be a new technique that Director Xiang learned from going to the imperial capital? But it doesn't look like the director's state.

Just now subconsciously wanted to make a rainbow fart, but he swallowed all the words wisely.

Because, he saw that Director Xiang's hands were trembling, shaking badly.

"Look for Director Zhang!" Director Xiang said immediately.

"Oh, good." The assistant immediately picked up the phone and called Director Zhang of the Department of Orthopedics.

The hospital is not big, but the Department of Orthopedics is one of the largest departments. Because trauma and car accidents all involve some simple fracture fixation operations, orthopedics is one of the surgeries with the most surgeries.

Director Zhang has several, but at this time the only Director Zhang he is looking for is the one from the orthopedics department.

Because it was already off work, Director Zhang drove home and turned back, which took nearly half an hour.

After seeing the situation, he and Director Li of the General Surgery Department changed positions together, performed local anesthesia, and cut open to see what happened.

A 3cm skin incision was made along the nape and the puncture point, and the subcutaneous tissue was bluntly separated with tissue forceps in order to find the stump of the epidural catheter.

But the result was disappointing. Although very careful not to touch the stump, there was no stump of the epidural catheter left in the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Originally, Xiang Heping still had a certain fluke mentality. If there was a trace of the stump of the epidural catheter left outside, it might be able to be clamped out with pliers.

But the truth told him that it was all a dream, and all the catheters fell into the epidural space.

Xiang Heping's face was pale, and he sat on the chair behind in a daze. It's not that he doesn't want to stand, but his legs are a little weak.

"Director Xiang." Director Zhang of the Department of Orthopedics stood up and shook his head slightly.

No one else in the operating room dared to speak at this time, and everyone kept silent tacitly.

"Peace." A voice with a strong local accent, familiar to the bone, shouted.

"Ah, Dad, what's the matter?"

"Why don't you have an operation? I'm tired from lying down." The old man asked.

"It's a little thing, you lie down for a while."

Hearing what the old man said, the head nurse immediately stepped forward to comfort her. She was winking and found a sterile sheet to cover the old man to prevent the temperature from dropping too quickly.

At this time, I really didn't know what to do, so the head nurse added another sterile sheet to the old man.

"Director Xiang." Director Zhang of the Department of Orthopedics winked and signaled to go out.

Although the patient is Xiang Heping's father, some things are not good to say in the operating room. Once the patient is nervous, at such an advanced age, if he has a myocardial infarction, wouldn't that make things worse.

Xiang Heping nodded, tried hard to control his emotions, and walked out of the operating room with weak legs. At this moment, he felt that there seemed to be a foreign object oppressing his spinal canal epidural, which made walking a problem.

Coming to the corridor, Director Zhang of the Orthopedics Department asked, "Old Xiang, are you sure the catheter fell into it?"

"Yes." Director Xiang nodded.

"How much did it fall off?"

"More than 6cm, probably like this..." Director Xiang almost cried.

"That's it." Director Zhang said, "You know better than me that the epidural space is not connected to the brain, and we always pass the aseptic operation. There is no fear of foreign objects, and the possibility of compressing the nerve and causing secondary infection is not high. Normally, there is no need for surgical treatment, just watch it conservatively.”

Conservative...Xiang Heping was a little confused, the catheter more than 6cm was inside the epidural, just leave it alone?

Although he would have made this choice if his mind was clear, how could he remain calm now. The thought of foreign objects made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Old Xiang." Director Ou of General Surgery said, "I asked, and some students have encountered this situation."

"What happened later?!" Xiang Heping asked hastily.

"Because the patient was asymptomatic, I was going to be fooled like this. As a result... I was unlucky and explained the situation to the family members. The family refused to say anything and just let it go. The operation was taken out, and there was something wrong with the operation..."

This is typical worse. But think about it from another angle, who wants to leave a medical residue in the spinal canal?

Saying this can only increase the psychological panic. Director Ou of the general surgery department felt that it was very boring, so he just shut up.

In fact, he felt a little undeservedly lucky, this is the old man of Xiang Heping's family, what would he do if he met other patients he didn't know? Although the operation has not been done yet, and it has no direct relationship with me, there is always an indirect relationship.

It's inevitable to smell like shit.

"Oh." Director Ou sighed and stopped talking. He is in general surgery, and he has never seen an epidural catheter left in his body, and he doesn't know what complications will happen.

It's better not to talk, the more you talk, the more wrong you are, anyway, you don't know how to deal with it.

"Old Zhang, do you think my dad will be paralyzed?" Xiang Heping asked with a sad face.

"Theoretically speaking, it is not possible." Director Zhang of the Department of Orthopedics began to analyze, "Looking at the location, there may be hypoesthesia below the bilateral anterior superior iliac spine. It is just hypoesthesia, and it should be fine."

"..." Xiang Heping's mind had already started to stop.

"This is the most optimistic analysis. If it is serious, there may be movement injury to the spinal nerve or the compression of the corresponding segmental nerve after the fibrous connective tissue of the catheter wraps up, and the aggravation of the previous underlying disease, leading to..." Director Zhang said.

He talked a lot, but Xiang Heping's mind was almost blank. No amount of clinical experience is of much use, and whether there is a problem or not is just a matter of probability.

What the hell, why did it spread on my own head! Director Xiang kept repeating this sentence in his heart.

Director Zhang found that Xiang Heping didn't listen to what he was saying, so he said a few simple words wisely and then shut up. This kind of thing still depends on the choice of the patient's family. And the person in front of him is both the family member of the patient and the first responsible person, how should he choose?

"Director Zhang, Director Ou, you both have a suggestion." After a long silence, Director Xiang said pleadingly.

"Suggestion..." The two looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Can have any suggestions!
