Chapter 73: with translation of chapter title

In the office, the obstetrics and gynecology director Su finally sighed, stood up, and said: "Then that's decided, prepare for surgery, I will personally communicate with the family."

"That's all we can do." Many directors already knew the final outcome, but not having heard others admit it personally, there always remains a sliver of hope.

"Wait a moment." Zheng Ren suddenly stepped forward and blocked the door.

"Hmm? Little Zheng from General Surgery?" Director Su knew Zheng Ren, but his impression was still stuck in General Surgery Department One.

"He is now the Inpatient Chief of the Emergency Department." Director Pan was very protective of his own; upon hearing Director Su say Zheng Ren was from General Surgery, he immediately corrected.

"What's the matter?" Director Su frowned and asked.

"I can perform interventional surgery, and emergency interventional embolization falls within the scope of emergency rescue treatment, so it does not violate regulations." Zheng Ren said.

"You?" In the office, several gazes fixed on Zheng Ren.

"During my internship, I actually performed the procedure." Zheng Ren felt this reason was weak, extremely weak; Director Su would never believe it.

But for a moment, Zheng Ren really couldn't find a more suitable reason to convince Director Su.

"Move aside, I'm going to prepare for surgery." Indeed, Director Su was adamant, not wanting to listen to Zheng Ren's empty talk standing there.

Director Pan turned his head, stared at Zheng Ren, and asked: "Can you do it?"

"It's just embolizing the uterine artery; the emergency operating room has a hybrid operating table, supplies can be borrowed from the Cardiology Department first. Although it won't be very smooth, it should be fine. The only problem now is the lack of gel sponge."

Cardiology Department's procedures mainly focus on recanalization; where would they have gel sponge for embolization?

"Director Pan..." The obstetrics and gynecology director Su felt helpless, but Director Pan's standing in the field was there, so he naturally had to show respect.

"Hybrid operating table, give Zheng Ren ten minutes..."

"I only need five minutes!" Zheng Ren said loudly.

"Well, five minutes; if it doesn't work, it won't delay your hysterectomy. The emergency operating room has instrument nurses and anesthesiologists, and they have already begun emergency surgery, so it won't affect your operation at all." Director Pan said.

Director Su calculated the time; if they tried, it could still give the family a hint that they had done their best, perhaps making the family more accepting of this.

"Are there any complications?" Director Wang of Anesthesiology asked.

"Yes, but the probability is not high, and there's no time to explain now." Zheng Ren said.

"Then let's go to the emergency operating room!" Director Su of Obstetrics and Gynecology immediately agreed, then strode out to explain to the patient's family.

First rescue; if all measures are exhausted, then perform hysterectomy to save the adult, which would make the family feel better.

At the moment Director Su agreed to go to the emergency hybrid operating room for surgery, Zheng Ren heard the system quest notification sound in his ear.

【Emergency Quest: Save a future mother.

Quest Content: Perform a uterine artery interventional embolization procedure.

Quest Reward: 100 skill points, 1000 experience points, one silver treasure chest.

Quest Time: 3 hours.】

Zheng Ren didn't even have time to look closely at what quest the system had issued; at this moment, saving lives was most important.

Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren with astonished eyes… or rather, with the look of seeing an idiot, for a few seconds, a flicker of smile crossed his mouth.

During the internship, after operating on a few surgeries, he dares to boast, during the emergency major rescue, to embolize the uterine artery in five minutes!

This is utterly ridiculous. You, a general surgeon, are pretending to be a big woolly sheep?

But the smile at the corner of Su Yun's mouth seemed not to be mockery, but rather carried a hint of curiosity.

When saving lives, everyone moves at lightning speed.

Zheng Ren and Director Pan hurried to the cardiology catheter room to borrow various supplies.

The supplies of the Cardiology Department and those for interventional embolization differ greatly in model, etc., but given the urgency, we can only make do.

On the way, Director Pan asked Zheng Ren what model of gel sponge he needed, then picked up the phone and dialed.

Director Pan's connections are indeed wild; just a dozen seconds later, Director Pan hung up the phone and told Zheng Ren that the gel sponge would arrive shortly.

With Director Pan's guarantee, Zheng Ren's confidence became even more ample.

Upon arriving at the catheter room, Zheng Ren began to look for any supplies that could serve as substitutes.

The Cardiology Department's supplies tend to be soft and fine, whereas interventional embolization supplies do not need to be that fine, after all, the uterine artery is countless times thicker than a 90% blocked anterior descending coronary artery.

Zheng Ren, at an expert level, could choose supplies with a much broader range than ordinary doctors; a few minutes later, Zheng Ren clutched a bundle of guidewires, catheters, and the like, sprinting all the way to the emergency operating room.

After he arrived at the emergency operating room, he took a brief breath, then began preparing other things.

The system's cold mechanical female voice suddenly appeared again in Zheng Ren's ear, and a new quest description began to appear in the upper right of his vision.

Double quest? Zheng Ren froze for a moment.

【Special Quest: Isolated and helpless.

Quest Content: No one can help you; you can rely only on yourself. Although people say surgery is not a one-person job, in special circumstances one must face the challenge alone.

Please complete a surgery by yourself below.

Quest Reward: Unknown.

Quest Time: 3 hours.】

Isolated and helpless…… Those words struck Zheng Ren's heart directly.

The emergency department's hybrid operating room does exist and is well maintained, but Zheng Ren lacks an assistant, lacks a technician, and lacks suitable instruments.

If a normal surgery lacks any one of these conditions, it cannot be completed smoothly.

But he, unfortunately, has no time

to grind.

to wait.

to consume.

Whether he can successfully complete the surgery determines whether a woman will have the opportunity to become a mother.

Zheng Ren no longer looks at the quest; as for the rewards… saving lives is still more important.

He turned on the machine that had not been opened for a long time; after noise reduction, a low rumbling sound rose.

The equipment was the latest model from two years ago, a Siemens Artis Zee dual C-arm bidirectional vascular angiography system. Even though it had been idle for over a year, nearly two years, it can still be considered top‑tier equipment domestically.

It is merely a cold machine; without someone to operate it, it is nothing but a useless lump of iron.

Power on, calibrate. Because there is no technician, Zheng Ren opened the system operation permission to Shujian. Like the Shadowless Lamp in the Operating Room, after installing a sterile film, Zheng Ren can control it himself in the Operating Room.

Xie Yiren and the Chu Family Sisters received the call early in the morning and have been busy together.

Because it was only local anesthesia, the Chu Family Sisters could only wait for Zheng Ren's surgery to fail, and when the obstetrics department needed to remove the uterus, they would have a chance to act. But their Opportunity to get hands‑on was also not great, and Director Wang of the Anesthesiology Department also followed over.

Likewise, Xie Yiren, after preparing the supplies, had nothing else to do.

The patient was brought in, blood pressure 70/50mmhG, respiration 25 per minute, pulse 152 per minute, pulse oxygen 92%. The face was pale, the whole body drenched in sweat, a very typical state of hemorrhagic shock.

In the infusion line of the Deep Venous Puncture, fresh frozen red blood cells formed a dark red line, sustaining the patient's vital signs.

Everyone present knows that this sustainment will not last long. Because of massive transfusion, it will cause the patient to develop serious complications, such as DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation).

Rapid hemostasis is the key; whether it is a traumatic hysterectomy or a minimally invasive intervention, it all depends on Zheng Ren.
