Chapter 1893: then translation of title

1826 New equipment, you have 2 hours to familiarize yourself (monthly ticket 28000 extra×56)

Xie Yiren, Professor Rudolf Wagner, and also Xiao Feng, who has been silently following Zheng Lao Ban, carrying a half-person-tall suitcase without a word.

How big a surgery is this? Lao He was stunned.

"Fugui'er, tell Zheng Ren, I will perform this surgery hand-in-hand with Dr. Liu, so let him not worry." Director Kong stood by the car and said to Professor Rudolf Wagner.

"Mm!" the professor said lightly and happily.

Obviously, if going to King's Hospital in Lun Dun, Yingguo for surgery, the professor is still very happy.

Over there are doctors he is familiar with; the most important thing is——this surgery is too big.

The surgery is major; even a hospital of the caliber of King's Hospital in Lun Dun, Yingguo cannot perform it, and if I go on stage, it means an elevation in academic standing.

Although King's Hospital is not renowned for Cardiothoracic Surgery, the Cardiothoracic Surgery technical strength over there is also very strong.

Being able to show off in front of peers, the professor is extremely eager.

Getting into the car, Lao He waved goodbye to Director Xu and asked softly: "Fugui'er, what does Zheng Lao Ban want you to do?"

"How do you talk? Whatever thing, you want me to do it?" Professor Rudolf Wagner rolled his eyes and said contemptuously.

"Uh..." Lao He was taken aback, then immediately asked with a grin: "Aren't we supposed to do surgery? Are we preparing to switch to interventional?"

"Boss said, the dissected segment is too long, and the patient's condition is troublesome with the old nose—Marfan syndrome! If a stent isn't placed post-op, there's still a chance of complications, so during the surgery we need to place a stent under direct vision and combined with interventional."

Lao He was a bit dazed.

Placing a stent is imaginable. Many case reports describe the elephant trunk surgery for Marfan syndrome, where some doctors, under direct vision, insert the stent to expand the aorta.

But Zheng Lao Ban wants to place a stent under direct vision combined with interventional? Is doing this meaningful?

This is a question; Lao He hesitated a moment, then decided to ask.

The surgery is major; the more information known preoperatively, the better one can make correct judgments intraoperatively.

"Fugui'er, explain to me why Zheng Lao Ban doesn't place a stent under direct vision."

"I've told you, the dissected segment is too long; you can't just make many small cuts in the patient's aorta." Professor Rudolf Wagner said: "Besides, even if you did that, placing the stent myself would be faster and better. The difference is at least a few millimeters!"

Lao He felt a chill in his heart.

The surgery is actually this difficult?

Generally, doctors refuse to do suturing; if possible, they unconsciously avoid performing surgery with sutures.

Zheng Lao Ban is the same; he absolutely will not make the surgery more complicated just to show off his skills.

Just like the valve tumor surgery last time, Zheng Lao Ban had prepared deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, but it wasn't used.

But this time, he actually wants to operate with sutures, just to reduce the stent gap by a few millimeters during surgery.

Such a demand for precision means the patient's condition is extremely severe, the surgery must be very meticulous, and the margin for error intraoperatively is extremely low.

If that's the case, can my skill level keep up?

In an instant, Lao He began to feel torn.

"I asked Yun Ge'er, and he said all three brachiocephalic arteries are torn, it's really serious!" Professor Rudolf Wagner made an exaggerated gesture, "How do you handle it over there?"

"Ah, they said they would do deep hypothermic circulatory arrest."

"I guessed as much; otherwise, why bring an anesthesiologist to King's Hospital?" the professor said.

They said that……

Lao He was also speechless.

However, that's indeed the case; Lao He also knows that King's Hospital's extracorporeal circulation level is certainly not weak. Zheng Lao Ban specifically requested his presence, not because the anesthesiologists and perfusionists there can't handle it, but because a tacit coordination is needed.

The surgery is enormous; wearing lead clothing in the operating room, even sitting for a few hours leaves one exhausted. Moreover, the margin for error is very low, perhaps not allowing any mistake at all.

I need to be careful, Lao He warned himself.

He stopped chatting with Professor Rudolf Wagner, sat alone in the back row, closed his eyes, and recalled all the technical points of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.

How to cooperate so that Zheng Lao Ban is comfortable and not affect the surgery's progress, Lao He gradually figured it out.

Upon arriving at Capital International Airport, they began waiting for boarding and boarding, and the entire group was very solemn.

During the ten-and-a-half-hour journey, Lao He reviewed the deep hypothermic circulatory arrest he already knew by heart dozens of times.

Even in his dreams after falling asleep, Lao He still dreamed of performing surgery.

After getting off the plane and walking out of the exit, Lao He saw Zheng Ren and Su Yun standing there to greet the group.

Usually it's Xie Yiren who meets Zheng Ren at Capital International Airport; this situation is rare now.

"Lao He, I've prepared something for you." After everyone came out, Su Yun first said mysteriously to Lao He.

"Yun Ge'er, what is it?" Lao He wondered.

"How much do you know about ultrasound?" Su Yun asked.

"I can use ultrasound to see pneumothorax." Lao He hehe smiled and showed off his skill to Su Yun.

Ultrasound normally can only examine solid organs; gas echoes are problematic, making the difficulty of diagnosing pneumothorax not ordinary.

Those in the know can tell the level of skill from just that sentence.

"Alright!" Su Yun said with a smile: "I've prepared transcranial Doppler for blood flow and embolus monitoring."

"..." Lao He was speechless.

How can Su Yun dare to say this about a new technology that hasn't even been clinically applied?

"The manual is over there; quickly take a look."

Lao He's nose and eyebrows scrunched together; he looked at Su Yun anxiously and said: "Yun Ge'er, don't joke."

"No joke."

"New equipment, can you just read the manual once and get it working?" Lao He knew he absolutely couldn't bluff at this point, so he spoke frankly.

"It's fine, I'm still here." Su Yun said: "What's that expression?! Do you think I'm incapable?"

Seeing Lao He's brows furrow even tighter, Su Yun asked unhappily.

Yun Ge'er, I'm just worried that I'll hold everyone back." Lao He didn't expect the surgery would even use the latest technique, he said with a worried frown.

Lao He, I'll remind you to use the medicine during the surgery." Zheng Ren held Xie Yiren's hand, saying calmly and gently.

Hearing Zheng Lao Ban say that, Lao He felt reassured.

When will the surgery be done?" Lao He asked.

When we arrive at King's Hospital, we have two hours to familiarize ourselves with the equipment and facilities." Zheng Ren said: "The patient's condition is poor; the surgery must be done quickly."

Lao He nodded.

Seeing his solemn expression, Su Yun patted Lao He on the shoulder and asked: "Lao He, what are you thinking?"

Yun Ge'er, to be honest, I'm afraid I can't handle it." Lao He spoke frankly: "This... is a situation where I'm caught between a rock and a hard place."

There's no such thing as being caught between a rock and a hard place; if you find it difficult, you're just retreating!" Su Yun said with a smile: "Brave and diligent progress, technique must always progress."
