Chapter 2811: with translation of chapter title

~9 min read 1,703 words

The anesthesiologist is administering anesthesia, the circulating nurse is establishing an intravenous line for the patient, and the instrument nurse is organizing the sterile packs, waiting a moment to count.

No named entities from glossary.

The lumbar anesthesia is proceeding smoothly, the patient is facing away, Zheng Ren is looking at the system panel and the ECG monitor, the two referencing each other, but he is still completely clueless.

Named: Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren. System Panel -> System Panel. ECG Monitor -> ECG Monitor.

Fortunately, Su Yun and Gu Xiao Ran were chatting, Lao He was inserting a USB drive, apparently preparing to play Good Luck Come. No one noticed him, giving him time to carefully think about this matter.

Named: Su Yun -> Su Yun. Gu Xiao Ran -> Gu Xiao Ran. Lao He -> Lao He. Good Luck Come -> Good Luck Come.

Once again arriving in the system space, Zheng Ren selected to purchase surgery.

Named: System Space -> System Space. Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren.

But this time he didn't perform surgery to stimulate the experimental subject; instead, he quietly watched.

No named.

Even without stimulation, the experimental subject still experienced cardiac arrest after 12 minutes.

No named.

Zheng Ren felt helpless; he did not resuscitate the experimental subject, but instead narrowed his eyes and stood in the system operating room, pondering what might happen.

Named: Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren. System Operating Room -> System Operating Room.

It probably isn't hemorrhagic shock; it's too fast for that. Could it be an aortic dissection? Looking at the ECG monitor, the blood pressure and heart rate plummeting like a cliff really seems possible.

Named: ECG Monitor -> ECG Monitor.

However, Zheng Ren didn't think this possibility was very likely; he just noted it silently, waiting to see during the autopsy.

Named: Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren.

Besides that, Zheng Ren had no definite ideas, or perhaps Big Pig Trotter hadn't given the kind of disease that the system diagnosis would indicate?

Named: Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren. Big Pig Trotter -> Big Pig Trotter. Xitong Diagnosis -> Xitong Diagnosis.

Or perhaps the patient has some congenital disease?

No named.

Could it be a mistake in the anesthesiologist's medication?

No named.

Could it be an allergy to the intravenous fluid?

No named.

Countless possibilities occurred to Zheng Ren, but he rejected them one by one in the system operating room.

Named: Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren. System Operating Room -> System Operating Room.

He checked the anesthetic medication and the fluid used for fluid replacement, then began dissecting the experimental subject to determine where the problem might occur.

No named.

It wasn't congenital heart disease, nor an aortic dissection, nor an infusion allergy, nor …

No named.

Zheng Ren was checking them off one by one.

Named: Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren.

……

No.

……

No.

Time ticked by second by second; Yu Zong was disinfecting and laying out sterile drapes while joking, 'Lao He, you haven't listened enough to Good Luck Come.'

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong. Lao He -> Lao He. Good Luck Come -> Good Luck Come.

"Let's ask for a good omen." Lao He said with a smile, "Recently, the gastrointestinal department performed a surgery, and Yun Ge'er played Red Bridal Dress on repeat, scaring Quan Xiaocao to tears."

Named: Lao He -> Lao He. Yun Ge'er -> Yun Ge'er. Red Bridal Dress -> Red Bridal Dress. Quan Xiaocao -> Quan Xiaocao.

"Red Bridal Dress, what is that?"

Named: Red Bridal Dress -> Red Bridal Dress.

"You young kids definitely haven't heard of it; if you're curious, I suggest listening to it at home under the covers in the evening." Su Yun said with a smile, "It definitely won't disappoint you; it's a really great song."

Named: Su Yun -> Su Yun. Evening -> Evening.

Yu Zong finished disinfecting and began the surgery.

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong.

"Yu Zong, are the adhesions severe?" Su Yun glanced at her own boss, who was resting with eyes closed in the corner, and asked.

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong. Su Yun -> Su Yun. Boss -> Boss.

Today the boss was as restless as a rat before an earthquake, but now he's calmed down, yet Su Yun began to feel uneasy.

Named: Boss -> Boss. Su Yun -> Su Yun.

Surely the boss wouldn't be like that; every time he has a question, he proves himself right afterward. Su Yun attributed this to "women's intuition," a kind of mysticism that can't be explained by science.

Named: Boss -> Boss. Su Yun -> Su Yun.

Besides, isn't the purpose of going up there to check the nail in the urethra? Why is he closing his eyes and resting like that? If so, he might as well sit downstairs.

No named.

No, something is definitely wrong!

No.

"The first one is easy to take." Under Yu Zong's manipulation, he quickly removed the nail closest to the urethral opening.

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong.

On the instrument table, the instrument nurse placed a piece of gauze beside Yu Zong's hand; that black nail looked somewhat menacing.

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong.

About 4 cm long, not especially sharp or pointed, but having this thing in the urethra is still quite frightening.

No named.

Su Yun examined the nail, closely watching Yu Zong's operation.

Named: Su Yun -> Su Yun. Yu Zong -> Yu Zong.

The surgery proceeded relatively smoothly; Yu Zong's operation was slightly cautious, but the nails were still taken out one by one.

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong.

"Yu Zong, you're being overly cautious," Su Yun laughed.

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong. Su Yun -> Su Yun.

"Just be careful, just be careful." Yu Zong said, "The difficulty lies at the end; the nail inside likely blocked the urethral opening, so even after anesthesia there was no urination. Yun Ge'er, do you know what I'm worried about?"

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong. Yun Ge'er -> Yun Ge'er.

"What?"

No.

"I'm going to try to see if I can take it out; if not, I'll just push the nail into the bladder and then remove it with a cystoscope." Yu Zong said, "I'm just worried that once there's a gap in the urethra, if I'm not careful, urine could spray in my face."

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong.

"..." Su Yun heard this and immediately recalled the stent surgery for colon cancer that she and the boss had performed.

Named: Su Yun -> Su Yun. Boss -> Boss.

At the moment it burst open, the airflow was fierce; if the boss hadn't used a sterile drape to block it for himself, he'd probably have to wash four or five times when he got back.

Named: Boss -> Boss.

"Then you'd better be careful." Su Yun said seriously, not joking, "I and the boss have done a case on a colorectal tumor patient; after the stent opened, who knows how long of accumulated feces..."

Named: Su Yun -> Su Yun. Boss -> Boss. Yu Zong -> Yu Zong.

As he was speaking, he saw out of the corner of his eye the boss suddenly stand up.

Named: Boss -> Boss.

"Syringe!" Zheng Ren said in a low voice.

Named: Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren.

The sound was loud and low, conveying a sense of urgency.

No.

At the same time, the monitor alarm suddenly blared, its sharp sound threatening to tear the Good Luck Come song into countless fragments.

Named: Good Luck Come -> Good Luck Come.

Yu Zong looked up, astonished to see the heart rate on the ECG monitor plummet like a cliff, then drop to zero, the ECG tracing flattening into a straight line.

Named: Yu Zong -> Yu Zong. ECG Monitor -> ECG Monitor.

The speed of change was so fast that it gave no time to react at all.

No.

"Su Yun, chest compressions!" Zheng Ren shouted, "Lao He, administer 1 mg of epinephrine intravenously!"

Named: Su Yun -> Su Yun. Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren. Lao He -> Lao He.

Su Yun had already moved to the patient's left side while Zheng Ren was speaking; the operating table height wasn't ideal, so she shifted the patient to the opposite side, then knelt on the table and began chest compressions.

Named: Su Yun -> Su Yun. Zheng Ren -> Zheng Ren. Operating table -> Operating table.

Seeing the patient's cardiac arrest, Lao He wasn't surprised; instead, at the moment the ECG monitor showed abnormal fluctuations, he felt his heart less anxious than before.

Named: Lao He -> Lao He. ECG Monitor -> ECG Monitor.

Sure enough, Zheng Lao Ban was right!

Named: Zheng Lao Ban -> Zheng Lao Ban.

As for why, Lao He didn't think about it. At the moment the ECG line flattened, he shot over to the anesthesiologist's side like his butt was on fire.

Named: Lao He -> Lao He.

At this moment, the anesthesiologist Xiao Zhou was completely dumbfounded, he looked at the ECG Monitor in disbelief, was just about to prepare to adjust the leads.

In his view, it should be a problem with the lead connection; otherwise, how could a patient who was fine just a second ago have his heart stop directly?

This isn't scientific!

Lao He opened a vial of epinephrine with one hand, while the other hand held a syringe drawing the medicine. At that moment, Zheng Lao Ban's voice came over: epinephrine, already being prepared.

Drawing the medicine, opening the three-way stopcock, a dose of epinephrine was pushed in in the shortest time.

The Operating Room, which had just been joking, instantly became solemn.

"Atropine, 0.5mg!"

Lao He's ears twitched slightly, he saw Zheng Lao Ban tear open a 50ml syringe.

However, Lao He didn't have time to go see what Zheng Lao Ban was doing; he immediately broke open another atropine and administered an intravenous injection.

"Lidocaine……"

"Atropine……"

"Epinephrine……"

Zheng Lao Ban's voice kept coming through; even amidst the sharp alarm of the monitor, it remained as calm as ever, like a rock by the sea—no matter how fierce the waves, he stood firm there.
