Chapter 468: The Chief Surgeon’s Domineering Style
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Haibo held the steel bar in his hand. He exerted force, and a stream of blood spurted out along with the steel bar.
A sterile bag was thrown into Lin Haibo’s hand.
The circulating nurse’s legs were also a little weak. Today’s emergency situation was big. However, she still followed Zheng Ren’s instructions and threw the sterile bag to Lin Haibo so that he could apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
After the wound in the abdominal cavity was cleaned up, Zheng Ren went to suture the puncture wound near the a.n.u.s.
The moment the steel bar was pulled out, the surgical field in the abdominal cavity disappeared. A bright red covered it. Yang Lei hurriedly used the suction device to expose the surgical field for Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren did not say anything, even if he gave Yang Lei a command. There was no such thing as sucking up the blood at a certain spot.
He held a dry gauze pad in his left hand as it started to get soaked in blood. In the instant that the surgical field was exposed, he used the hemostatic forceps, small needles, and thin thread to suture the wound.
The damaged part of the r.e.c.t.u.m, the left half of the colon, and the ruptured part of the stomach had already been st.i.tched up when Yang Lei was anxiously sucking the blood.
Lin Haibo’s legs were trembling so much. The blood that had just spurted out almost sprayed onto his face. When he thought of this, his entire body felt uncomfortable, especially his stomach. The nausea became even heavier.
However, he was still a medical student. Under the education of the cadaver teacher when he was in university, his ability to adapt was definitely stronger than that of an ordinary person.
He used a sterile cotton pad to press down on the bleeding spot near the patient’s a.n.u.s. He quickly adapted to the situation, curious what would happen next.
The rapid bleeding meant that there was a large amount of bleeding and the pressure was immense.
Under such circ.u.mstances, how could there be a surgical field?
Could the patient have already died?
Curiosity overcame the discomfort in his body. Lin Haibo looked up and was immediately stunned.
A piece of gauze pad filled with blood was thrown to the side of the patient’s leg, while another piece of white gauze was slapped into his hand. The transition was smooth, as if the scrub nurse knew the surgeon’s intentions and was preparing things beforehand.
This was unimportant.
Lin Haibo immediately saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
The gauze pad soaked up the blood, and there was a suction device on the side to help.
However, the blood flow was fierce, and the damaged parts appeared and disappeared.
The gauze pad was thrown into the pool of blood. The surgeon silently reached out and the needle-holding device, along with a small needle and thin thread, was slapped into his hand.
With the help of the suction device and gauze pad, he st.i.tched up the wounds in the pool of blood.
One was damaged, two were damaged, three were damaged, every part was the same.
In Lin Haibo’s eyes, an extremely complicated and difficult surgery suddenly became clearer.
The key was that the surgeon could find the bleeding point in an instant, so he could sew up the wounds quickly to stop the bleeding.
Lin Haibo felt that he was wrong. What was so good about a heart bypa.s.s? This was the type of surgery he needed to learn.
Did the surgeon rely on memory? Or did he rely on technique and feel?
It was both and neither.
Cao Guozhen worked with Su Yun to suture the chest injury.
The chest was many times easier to deal with than the abdominal cavity.
Because the patient was in the half-lateral position, the bleeding would flow into the chest, so the surgical field was relatively clean compared to the abdominal cavity.
The first thing to be treated for the various wounds was definitely the intercostal artery.
The moment the rebar was pulled out, the needle in Su Yun’s hand, along with the No. 4 thread, pa.s.sed through one side of the ruptured intercostal artery to be st.i.tched up before he threw the thread to Cao Guozhen.
The needle-holding device hit the instrument table of another scrub nurse who was standing near the patient’s head. He took another needle-holding device and began to suture the other end.
Cao Guozhen only stared blankly for a moment. After the other end of the suture was completed, Su Yun tied the knot.
No one said anything. Su Yun used the needle-holding device to hit Cao Guozhen’s hand with much force.
Cao Guozhen was in pain, but he could not complain.
Who the f*ck had him stunned for a moment? He wanted to see how much blood had flowed out.
The other party had already finished tying the knot twice, but he had yet to tie the knot on his own side.
He quickly began to do so. He asked the equipment nurse for scissors and began to cut the thread.
At the same time, Su Yun had already started to suture the damaged parts of the upper and lower lobes of the left lung.
A large circular needle with single-strand 7 thread. It was the same suture as the previous patient, but different.
Su Yun inserted the needle very deeply, even though the wound was very small.
This kind of suture was even more difficult than the previous one.
However, this was not difficult for Su Yun. After he smoothly sutured the wound, the thread was thrown to Cao Guozhen, echoing the style of a Chief Surgeon.
Tying a knot was the job of the first and second a.s.sistants.
Su Yun had just tied his. He used a needle holder to hit Cao Guozhen’s hand as a warning. This was the habit of a surgeon. It was also the habit of a domineering one.
If he was slightly dissatisfied, he would use the hemostatic forceps in his hand to hit the a.s.sistant. If the a.s.sistant could not keep up with the pace of the surgery, some of the ill-tempered surgeons might smash the hemostatic forceps over the a.s.sistant’s body and chase them away with a roar.
The surgery was done very quickly. Cao Guozhen admired Su Yun’s technique from the bottom of his heart. If he were the Chief Surgeon on the stage, he would have just finished suturing the intercostal artery.
No wonder Su Yun had the confidence to simply pull out the rebar. The surgery was indeed fast and beautiful!
However, the chest was still a minor task. The major issue was still the abdominal cavity.
Cao Guozhen did not dare to be distracted. If Su Yun hit his hand with the needle holder again, where would he be able to fide?
The key was that Su Yun was right about this matter, and he had nowhere to complain.
Anyone would ask why.
Why? Why else! It was obvious that he was slow and distracted.
He focused on watching Su Yun suture the diaphragm, and the first thing he did was take the thread and start tying the knot.
He was finally done. When he heard that Su Yun wanted warm saline, the next step was to inflate the lungs to see if there were any missing ruptures. Cao Guozhen finally felt relieved.
He raised his head and looked at the abdominal cavity. In Cao Guozhen’s mind, after he was done with this, Su Yun would probably go down to help.
The rest of the work would be left to him.
However… When he raised his head, he saw that the patient’s abdominal cavity was also being rinsed at almost the same time!
That was not all. Judging from the faint color of the fresh blood, it should have at least been rinsed once!
The suture of the chest cavity was fast enough. How could the suture of the abdominal cavity be even faster? One had to know that the surgical field of the abdominal cavity was countless times worse than that of the thoracic cavity.
“Chief Zheng, are you done?” Cao Guozhen asked without thinking.
“We’re all done. Of course his side is already done,” Su Yun reprimanded. “Hurry up with the aspirator! Are you usually like this when you’re in the Thoracic Department?”
Cao Guozhen was embarra.s.sed. He immediately asked the scrub nurse for an aspirator and a suction pump.
Chu Yanran’s lungs began to expand. After that, the water flooded in and no air leaked out. The ruptured lung had been sewn up perfectly.
At this moment, Chu Yanzhi ran back with a bunch of blood bags.
“Chief Zheng, 10u fresh frozen red blood cells, 1,600ML of plasma,” Chu Yanzhi entered the operating theatre and reported.
“It’s not enough. Ask the emergency department to send first-aid ambulances to the blood bank in the city center to get blood!” Zheng Ren replied without thinking.
“Okay!” Chu Yanzhi held a bag of fresh frozen red blood cells in her hand as she ran out to make a phone call.
The circulating nurse immediately began to count the blood bags. In a moment, she would have to check with Chu Yanzhi and Zheng Ren.
“How are things on your side?” Zheng Ren asked Su Yun after checking if there were any active bleeding spots that were missed.
“As your a.s.sistant, there must be no flaws,” Su Yun answered.
