Esophageal ultrasound can monitor blood flow within the heart; whenever there is a leak, unusual signals in the blood flow will appear, allowing esophageal ultrasound to promptly locate the leak.
Remembering this, Doctor Pang let out a satisfied "oh".
Teacher Duâs meticulous thinking and abundant experience even extend to such preparations in advance, showcasing the top-tier level of a prestigious specialized hospital. Xie Wanying thought.
No wonder Feng Yicong and others are determined to enter the cardiology field, making every effort to intern at Guozhi Hospital; even if they cannot stay, they can surely learn something here. However, itâs very difficult for students not recruited by Guozhi Hospitalâs own teachers to intern here. They might have to wait for opportunities to come here for advanced training from other hospitals. Just for advanced training, itâs uncertain whether teachers are willing to truly teach you, as youâre not one of their own.
Today was truly fortunate for her to observe the surgery directly; other medical students do not have this opportunity. Comparatively, she has not yet seen any Guoxieâs heart and thoracic surgery for difficult and severe cases. If given the chance, she equally wishes to witness Teacher Fuâs top-notch surgical skills. Teacher Fu, acclaimed as a robot, certainly has unique skills. Surgeons like Teacher Tan and Senior Tao at Guoxie are all surgical experts; thereâs no reason Teacher Fu wouldnât be of high skill level.
Watching Du Yeqing showcase skills in the operating room that one would never see on an ordinary day, Yu Xuexian and others in the control room looked displeased at Zhang Huayao: Is this person deliberately trying to favor Student Xie by letting her cousin become her Chief Surgeon doctor, making his disciple show off skills to the student?
Whatâs strange about a teacher showing a student some skills. If anyone should be at fault, it should be Cao Yong, secretly pulling with Beiduâs Talented Scholar Song to lure Beiduâs students to Guoxie without any shame or guilt.
Besides, his disciple isnât someone he can just order around. He hasnât said a word; it was Du Yeqing who independently decided to invite Student Xie to observe the surgery and enter the operating room, having nothing to do with him.
The surgery proceeded rapidly to the stage of establishing extracorporeal circulation.
According to the previous description of the extracorporeal circulation principle, the machine must connect to the bodyâs major arteries and veins. These arteries and veins are to be chosen from those branching out from the heart; vessel channel entry points can be selected. Without detailing each point, todayâs surgical doctors opted for the femoral vein and femoral artery. Unlike interventional surgeries, here a longitudinal incision needs to be made in the groin to separate the femoral vein and femoral artery before inserting tubes; the femoral artery connects to the blood supply tube, and the femoral vein connects to the bipolar venous drainage tube, one leading to the superior vena cava and the right atrium, and another to the inferior vena cava establishing extracorporeal circulation.
Doctor Pang, as the Extracorporeal Circulation Technician, sat on a small stool behind the machine once the patientâs extracorporeal circulation was established, constantly monitoring the patientâs various data and machine operation.
Xie Wanying sat behind Teacher Pang, not obstructing the teacherâs operation. Senior Brother Shim walked away to prepare to approach the surgical table to better observe the surgery progress.
"Following the Chief Surgeonâs plan, the surgery wonât take long; we definitely must coordinate well," Doctor Pang told her.
It must be coordinated well, as previously mentioned, the overall anesthesia process shouldnât be too long. The anesthesiologist appeared slightly tense, with the data from the anesthesia machine indicating risks slightly higher than anticipated pre-operation.
