Chapter 2123 The life support system
“Alright,” he said. Lin Ge was already extremely busy, contacting all sorts of people.
Zheng Ren laid out the sheet himself while Su Yun, director li from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, and professor yang went to wash their hands.
“Boss Zheng, the hospital has contacted the police. The traffic police will a.s.sist in leaving a green pa.s.sage. They will honk all the way, so there should be no traffic jam.” Lin Ge said hurriedly.
Professor Zhang sighed in his heart. This time, the 912 Department really did their best.
Department Director li from the hepatobiliary Department changed his clothes and stood on the operating table. He was also a little dazed.
Boss Zheng stood in the position of the Sorcerer without any hesitation. He didn’t even show any courtesy to him.
He was full of confidence. Under the shadowless lamp, his body emitted an unswerving aura. Director li even had a faint feeling that boss Zheng was giving off a winning aura.
As far as chief physician li knew, boss Zheng had never performed a liver transplant before.
When boss Zheng was in Haicheng, a small fourth-tier city, he could invite a professor to perform a liver transplant. The director’s ancestral grave would be smoking.
What gave him the confidence? Chief physician li was a little confused.
If it were anyone else, director li would have flipped out long ago. This was nonsense. But if it was boss Zheng, he didn’t dare to say too much.
Boss Zheng had already demonstrated his outstanding surgical skills in a different field when it came to hepatectomy after interventional heart surgery for liver cancer. Recently, chief physician li had been thinking of asking the doctors under him to learn from boss Zheng about liver cancer interventional surgery.
The most important thing was to get all the surgical items in his hands.
Now that boss Zheng wanted to be the chief surgeon for the liver transplant, could he do the same? Chief physician li pondered in his heart.
“Let me take a look at the magnetic ring for vascular anastomosis.” Zheng Ren said.
Xie Yiren handed the magnetic ring to Zheng Ren.
“Boss, this is a little inappropriate.” Su Yun’s position was very strange. She was on Zheng Ren’s left and not the usual position of a second a.s.sistant.
“Yes, I didn’t consider it before.” Zheng Ren said.
“Boss Zheng, how many cases of liver transplantation using magnetic levitation technology have you done?” Department Director li asked in surprise when he saw Zheng Ren take out the magnetic ring for vascular anastomosis.
This was a new technology. During an exchange program in Chang ‘an hospital, Department Director li had seen the use of magnetic ring vascular anastomosis to shorten the time of the liver stage.
It was just that the magnetic ring for vascular anastomosis had not been invented for a long time, and it had not been implemented in the clinical field yet. The technology itself could still be improved more or less.
Otherwise, it would not have been updated to the fourth generation in just a few years.
“I’ve seen others do it. ” Zheng Ren answered honestly.
“Tsk.” Su Yun was very disdainful, thinking that the shop owner had copied the skills that he could learn after watching it once.
Chief physician li wanted to persuade him, but now that the arrow was already on the bow, he had no choice but to take action. Whatever he said would only be a belated effort.
Seeing it and doing it, how could that be the same?
Boss Zheng … As he thought about it, director li shook his head.
When Su Yun saw Department Director Li’s actions, she ignored him. Instead, she searched for the lower-middle part of the patient’s sternum on the sterile sheet.
“Yiren, apply a surgical dressing.” Su Yun said.
“What?” Chief physician li was stunned for a moment.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun did not explain. Su Yun took over the surgical dressing and applied it on the lower one-third of the patient’s sternum.
This was to make a mark. After Su Yun prepared everything, she turned around and said,””Director Lin.”
“Doctor su, what’s wrong?” Lin Ge was so busy that his head was on fire and he was badly burned. Even though he was busy, he still took care of everyone and did not miss out on Su Yun’s conversation with him.
“Keep an eye on that side. Give me the location of the ambulance in three minutes.”
“Alright,” he said. Director Lin was in a difficult position. He had too many things to contact and it was a little difficult to report his schedule every three minutes.
“Let Lin Yuan do it.” Zheng Ren said,”share the location and report to me at any time.”
“Alright,” Lin Yuan didn’t have any objections to this kind of errand and quickly agreed.
He contacted the emergency personnel of 120, added each other on WeChat, shared their locations, and started to report his schedule.
Lin Ge was a little confused. Didn’t they agree to let a team of experts do the surgery? However, the patient’s condition was not optimistic, so he could not think too much about it.
Maybe this side was done first, and the expert team would come on stage.
He hoped that everything would go smoothly. Lin Ge couldn’t do much at the moment, so he could only make contact. As for whether boss Zheng would perform the surgery or someone else, Lin Ge could not care less.
After arranging all this, Zheng Ren began to skin the liver. There was no need to do this too quickly. So what if he cut off the liver? In the end, they still had to wait for the fresh liver.
The surgery was carried out step by step, and it was not fast. After the abdominal cavity was opened, Zheng Ren began to separate the various blood vessels, ligate the ligaments, and other work. As long as the ambulance arrived, he would be able to take action.
With the help of the traffic police, the ambulance arrived at the 912 hospital at almost the fastest speed.
Usually, if one wanted to drive so smoothly on the road in the capital, there were only one or two days a year when it would be the first or second day of the new year. It was probably not even possible to drive on the third day.
At the same time, Zheng Ren had finished the preparations before the transplant, which took less than 20 minutes.
Director li felt a little emotional when he saw boss Zheng’s technique. If he did not know boss Zheng’s technique very well, he would have thought that boss Zheng had studied in United Kingdom’s Hospital for many years and had performed countless liver transplant surgeries.
“Boss Zheng, the 120 ambulance is already downstairs.” Lin Yuan reported.
Zheng Ren covered the incision with warm saline gauze. He did not move but silently looked at the values on the monitor and the ventilator.
“I think there’s still three minutes left.” Lin Yuan kept his phone and said.
Zheng Ren nodded, but he still did not move.
“The liver donor is here!” Lin Yuan said loudly.
The United Kingdom specialist brought the liver that was stored in the life support system and hurried into the room.
Zheng Ren took a glance before he turned to look at the operating area. He reached out and placed the hemostatic forceps in his palm.
They finally moved. Director li felt that it was a little too late. Even though he had made ample preparations beforehand, removing the liver within three minutes was too rushed as it was mainly to deal with the blood vessels.
It seemed that boss Zheng was still very conservative, and director li was a little relieved.
After the liver arrived, this side had not been cut completely. Making the liver donor wait for a few minutes was the most conservative and steady approach.
Department Director li, who had performed hundreds of liver transplants, knew the key to this very well.
However, boss Zheng’s surgery speed was beyond director Li’s expectations. After only a dozen seconds, he stopped thinking about those messy things.
Boss Zheng’s hand speed was too fast. It was not enough for him to go all out as an a.s.sistant, so how could he have time to think about anything else?
Chief physician Li’s eyes turned red as he looked at the sterile box of the life support system.
This was an article published in Nature in April 2018. It mentioned a method called the “life support system” to preserve liver temperature. It would improve the transplant effect, increase the number of available liver donors, and thus reduce the mortality rate of those waiting for liver transplantation.
David nasrael, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and his colleagues carried out the first random experiment on 220 liver transplant patients. They compared the traditional freezing storage method with the machine’s normal temperature infusion method, and this method was effective.
