Chapter 1,629 Surgical Accident
(I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and reunion!)
——————————
After entering the operating room, Ye Xiu returned to the role of a surgical madman, completely putting aside all distracting thoughts and immersing himself in the operation.
Zhao Ruobing also quickly devoted himself to the operation.
The two of them, one as the first assistant and the other as the chief surgeon, began the operation in tacit cooperation.
The previous surgery was the same as before and went very smoothly.
With Ye Xiu's precise operation and Zhao Ruobing's tacit cooperation, every operation was performed perfectly, including two craniotomy surgeries and lumbar nerve surgeries that Zhao Ruobing was very worried about before the operation. The speed was done perfectly.
But when it came time for the last operation, an accident happened.
This is a not very complicated intracranial surgery. The patient has a tumor in his skull. The tumor is benign and the location of the tumor is quite good. It is not in the core area full of blood vessels and nerves. As long as it is slightly If you're careful, it can still be easily removed.
But perhaps it was because it was relatively simple, and because it was not a particularly difficult operation, that the surgical assistant made a mistake.
While cutting, the assistant's hand shook slightly and directly cut a blood vessel next to it.
"Didi!"
Almost as soon as the assistant made a mistake, the alarm in the operating room rang rapidly.
"Increased intracranial blood pressure!"
"Heart rate dropped!"
"Vital signs are declining!"
"…………"
The anesthetist, who was sitting behind the instrument and feeling sleepy, suddenly stood up, stared at the instrument in front of him with wide eyes, and shouted anxiously and panicked at Ye Xiu and Zhao Ruobing.
Speaking of which, the anesthesiologist's psychological quality is not that bad to begin with.
Being able to be selected by Zhao Ruobing to operate with Ye Xiu and become a member of their team is enough to show his experience and strength. However, during this period of time, it was too comfortable for him to operate with Ye Xiu and the others.
Ye Xiu's surgery was so stable, and there were almost no problems, that his mind had been in a relatively relaxed state for a long time. But when he suddenly encountered a sudden change, he suddenly became a little panicked.
"what to do?"
The assistant who made the mistake was also pale and his eyes were extremely panicked.
As a neurosurgery doctor, he knew very well how serious his mistake was. It would be fine if the bleeding occurred in other parts of the body, but intracranial bleeding is very dangerous.
It is precisely because of this that it is so difficult to train excellent neurosurgery doctors.
Under normal circumstances, the surgeon does not dare to let inexperienced newcomers do it easily.
It takes a very long time of following surgeries, watching surgeries, and accumulating enough experience before I dare to allow a new doctor to try it. Finally, after going through the test of long-term minor surgeries again, I dare to really let a new doctor try it. A new doctor starts as a surgical assistant.
Generally speaking, neurosurgery doctors cannot be independent until they are nearly forty years old.
Young surgeons like Zhao Ruobing and Ye Xiu are very rare.
This is also an important reason why Zhao Ruobing received so much attention when he was named deputy director and was favored by so many experts.
"Ye Xiu, what should I do?"
Zhao Ruobing looked at Ye Xiu.
Compared to assistants and anesthesiologists, she is much calmer, and there is not even the slightest trace of panic on her face. In fact, as the chief doctor, she has already had rich experience in handling such scenes. She has already passed the period of panic, and she knows very well that when faced with this kind of scene, she must not panic. The more panic she has, the harder it will be to handle it.
At this time, the only way is to stay calm and find a way to solve the problem.
However, she did not give any instructions, but handed over the initiative to Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu was the surgeon in charge of this operation. At the same time, Ye Xiu had more surgical experience and skills than she did.
"Stop the bleeding first."
Ye Xiu said calmly.
In fact, as he spoke, he had already begun actions to stop the bleeding.
He used his bare hands to stop the bleeding.
He directly pressed both ends of the blood vessel with his own hands to stop the blood flow.
"Help me connect my blood vessels."
After stopping the bleeding, Ye Xiu said to Zhao Ruobing.
"good!"
Zhao Ruobing quickly took action.
Zhao Ruobing had no problem doing things like connecting blood vessels.
Soon, the blood vessels were reconnected and the blood flow stopped.
"How are your vital signs now?"
After stopping the bleeding and taking care of the aftermath, Ye Xiu looked at the anesthesiologist. The look on his face did not relax.
Based on his experience, this matter will not be solved so easily.
Sure enough, the anesthesiologist immediately gave the message, "The intracranial pressure has stabilized, but the patient's vital signs continue to decline!"
At this time, even Zhao Ruobing's brows furrowed and his eyes showed an anxious look.
The bleeding has obviously stopped, but why do vital signs continue to drop?
In this case, how can the operation proceed?
No, this is no longer a problem of the operation not being able to proceed. Even if the operation is stopped now, it cannot be stopped!
"How long can the patient persist?"
Ye Xiu asked calmly.
"Based on the patient's current condition, he can probably only last ten to twenty minutes at most!"
The anesthesiologist took a serious look at the instrument, and then made an analysis and conclusion.
"good!"
Ye Xiu nodded, immediately turned his head and looked at Zhao Ruobing, "Let's continue!"
"ah?"
Zhao Ruobing was stunned.
The surgical nurses and anesthesiologists on the side were all stunned.
Everyone wondered if their ears were hearing it wrong.
Under such circumstances, Ye Xiu said continue?
"Quick, we don't have much time, we must complete the remaining cutting as soon as possible!"
Ye Xiu said anxiously.
"But under such circumstances, how can..."
Zhao Ruobing wanted to say, how could we continue under such circumstances?
But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ye Xiu.
"Quick, don't waste time, give me the cutting knife..."
Ye Xiu used a rare stern word to the nurse next to him, "If the operation is delayed, which one of you can bear the responsibility!"
"yes!"
The nurse quickly came to her senses and handed over the scalpel Ye Xiu needed.
After taking the scalpel and forceps, Ye Xiu directly began to operate. When Zhao Ruobing and others saw that Ye Xiu had already started to act, they quickly followed suit and moved quickly in cooperation.
But when he was acting, Zhao Ruobing still showed a worried look in his eyes.
In her opinion, the patient's condition was absolutely impossible and inappropriate for continued surgery.
If the operation was stopped immediately, the patient's condition could be classified as an accident. Even if something went wrong with the patient, it would not be Ye Xiu's responsibility.
But if the operation continues like this, it will be difficult for Ye Xiu to escape responsibility for any accidents that happen to the patient. There are so many people in the operating room, and there are still surveillance cameras in the operating room. It is impossible for Ye Xiu to defend himself. .
Once the responsibility is investigated, the minimum punishment Ye Xiu will have to bear is to have his medical qualifications revoked, ending Ye Xiu's career as a doctor!
