I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 362: Heart for heart

A son of the Nordic royal family was drinking coffee in the study late at night. He is the cousin of His Majesty the King, Aurelio.

"Dad, go to bed early." His daughter saw the light and walked over gracefully.

"Where can I sleep? Your grandma will have an operation tomorrow." The gray-haired Aurelio sighed deeply. He had a premonition that he would soon be without his mother.

"The operation will be successful tomorrow. Dad, don't worry too much." Her daughter comforted her.

"I hope so. I hope Goddess of Luck will take another look at us tomorrow." Aurelio frowned.

Because, Dr. Zhou said, there is only a 30% success rate.

In other words, the probability of failure is a full 70%.

How can anyone sleep with such a high failure rate?

But if you don't try, you won't have much time. Experts from Karolinska University Hospital said that if you treat conservatively, it can only last for two months at most.

Sometimes he thought that it would be better to treat him conservatively, so that he could still have one to two months together. If the operation failed tomorrow, he would most likely die on the operating table and say goodbye completely.

It's extremely confusing and a dilemma.

His Majesty the King's eyes lit up and he was refreshed: "I should have thought of this a long time ago." If there is a success rate of more than 50%, then the hope is much higher!

The Queen Princess was very emotional and hugged her husband Ilyas: "My daughters have really grown up and are so sensible. Because of my aunt's condition, they actually slept in a hotel next to the hospital, saying it was so as not to affect tomorrow's surgery. Get in the zone early.”

The bedroom of Crown Princess Francina.

The couple were very relieved.

The Queen smiled: "Francina has already investigated. The Iris Clinic is indeed the top and trustworthy in North America. Dr. Zhou is young and promising. He is a rare genius in hundreds of years. Genius cannot be used alone. Judging by age. And... the 30% success rate the other party said must be discounted, because he can't be too confident. According to my estimate, it should be at least 50%."

His Majesty the King was silent for a few seconds and murmured: "That Dr. Zhou is still too young. In fact, I should find some doctors with more qualifications."

Of course, there are still worries, but they are full of hope. Because this was the idea from the doctor their daughter had hired. If successful, the twin princesses' status in the royal family will be further consolidated.

If His Majesty the King only talks and does not provide financial support, he may be criticized behind his back. However, after spending so much money and showing full sincerity, I believe that even if he fails, the direct descendants of the old lady will not be too happy. Big complaint.

In the future, there will be more supporters.

His Majesty the King nodded.

Meanwhile, His Majesty the King's bedroom.

One of the reasons is that they are at a loss and don't know how to choose.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

"At the same time, I would also like to thank Dr. Zhou for coming up with such a way to reunite our family."

The queen chuckled: "You were in the middle of the situation and your mental state was always too tense, so you ignored it. My dear, don't worry too much. We have done the best we can."

"Dr. Zhou will definitely succeed tomorrow." His daughter could only comfort him. Although she comforted her father in this way, she was actually panicking inside. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone out for a walk in the middle of the night.

Therefore, when His Majesty the King asked him for his opinion, he and his sisters gave the decision to His Majesty the King.

The queen came over to massage his shoulders and neck, and said softly: "You are also thinking about the old lady, and the old lady is also willing. The royal family has paid so much money, which is all real money. Besides, they also signed the consent form for the operation. Those who wrote the words had to seek their opinions in advance.”

There was affection in Ilyas's eyes, and he said softly: "Yes, they have resumed their status as princesses now, and they are still so conscientious. This shows that the quality of these little babies is very pure and admirable. We are truly lucky to have them back.”

His Majesty the King is also very worried. If the operation fails, the old lady may advance..., then his responsibility will be greater.

……

His Majesty the King will also like them more and will receive generous rewards. Not only His Majesty's side, but also my aunt's side will definitely express their views.

……

Karolinska University Hospital, Intensive Care Unit.

The heart donor who was involved in the car accident has been transferred to this hospital.

After the other party's accident, he was given first aid and sent to a hospital in another city, more than 100 kilometers away.

Usually in this case, a team of doctors will go there to remove the heart, put it in a special storage box, soak it in special liquid, and transport it as quickly as possible before performing the surgery.

The safe cold ischemia time for the heart is generally within 6 hours. While the heart retrieval team is retrieving the heart, the heart transplant team on the other side must make preparations for the heart transplant surgery. If the donor and recipient are thousands of miles apart, then at this time, time is life!

However, it is impossible for the royal family to do this. They have enough financial resources and manpower to transport the whole heart donor in an ambulance as soon as possible. In other words, the process of heart extraction takes place directly at Karolinska University. It takes place in the hospital operating room.

To be more precise, it takes place right next door to the heart transplant operating room. Even after removing the heart, there is no need to preserve it in soaking liquid, and it can be "installed" directly fresh and hot.

The mother of this high school student cried bitterly outside the intensive care unit. Tomorrow, her daughter will be officially declared dead.

Although they received a generous gift from the royal family, they still couldn't accept that their daughter would actually die tomorrow.

"Dear, don't be too sad. After the operation, my daughter's heart can continue to survive in another way, and it can also help a person in need. It is a very meaningful thing."

"I know, I just want to cry." The girl's mother couldn't stop her tears from cracking like broken pearls.

Although it was meaningful, she felt heartbroken when she thought that her daughter was about to officially die and it was them who sent her away with their own hands.

What's more, although it helped people and could survive in another form, it was donated to an old man who was nearly a hundred years old, and in fact he wouldn't live long. Maybe only seven or eight years? Three to five years? Even a year or two?

The royal family gave so much money, which was generous, but it made them feel like they were selling their daughter. Every time I thought about this, I felt that the money was hot to the touch.

"Honey, don't think too much, just pray, for our daughter."

……

A senior doctor at the Cardiac Surgery Department of Karolinska University Hospital also had trouble sleeping, thinking over and over again, and finally sent a request to the director: "Director, can you let me enter the operating room tomorrow?"

Although his qualifications are acceptable, he is not very central in the hospital. When he enters the operating room tomorrow, his name will not be there at all. If he wants to study, he can only watch in the monitoring room. If he is too busy to leave at the time, he may need to do it afterwards. Watch videos recorded by colleagues.

But for such a major and difficult operation, watching it in the monitoring room was not as realistic as watching it live and learning a lot. Therefore, he decided to ask the director to enter the operating room tomorrow. After I sent it out, I was very nervous, not knowing whether the director would agree to it.

He threw the phone aside, not daring to look at it.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

He quickly ran over, picked up his phone and took a look, and immediately jumped with joy.

Because the director agreed to his request.

The director replied: "Since you want to go, go tomorrow. However, don't interfere with Dr. Zhou's surgery."

"Received, thank you, director." After putting down his cell phone, the doctor was ecstatic that he really had the opportunity to get up close and personal with such a difficult surgery.

Even though the hospital is so big and there are so many experts, such difficult operations don’t happen often.

How many people are there in Northern Europe?

Another doctor who also applied for the opportunity to the director was declined and was very depressed.

……

So many people are tossing and turning, but in the luxury hotel near the hospital, in the presidential suite, in the spacious room, on the sofa, on the dining table, in the bathroom, on the big bed, on the carpet... Zhou Qiao, Murphy, Elena, Ava, the four of them were in a state of intoxication.

"Qiao, take a rest. We have surgery tomorrow, so don't affect your energy."

Zhou Qiao: "It's okay, you are my best energy potion, helping me adjust to the best state."

The third girl: "..."

However, the three girls also knew how powerful he was, so they just let him go. Besides, the three girls also found it quite exciting and had never played like this before.

Especially Elena, she remembered that when Zhou Qiao did his first operation, he pulled her to have sex in the consulting room.

At this time, Elena said it out, and it was quite nostalgic to revisit the old things.

Ava shouted: "Excellent! I said there was something wrong with you at that time. You did it behind my back. Humph, I was sweating while tidying up the operating room, but you were sweating doing that. No, no, no, Dr. Zhou, you have to make up for it. I!"

Murphy blinked: "..." She felt that it was really too late for her to meet Zhou Qiao, and Elena took the lead.

Because since she met Zhou Qiao, she found that her life was completely different.

It used to be a world of one person, very lonely, but now, actually, actually... I can still have fun like this.

Two years ago, Murphy couldn't imagine where he is now. Oh my god, it’s just...

However, if surgery is regarded as a war, a war against disease and death, then if they relax like this before going into battle, let alone, it is really helpful.

Early in the morning of the next day, Zhou Qiao, Murphy, Elena and Ava got up, feeling refreshed and energized without feeling sleepy at all.

Every pore feels comfortable, and it seems that even my hands have become more dexterous.

So, they came to the hospital in high spirits, had a brief meeting with the hospital team, and started the operation!

Heart transplantation, or heart replacement surgery, is definitely one of the most difficult surgeries, not to mention transplanting a heart to a nearly 100-year-old man with such a bad condition.

If the heart is compared to the "engine" of the human body, once the engine stops, human life will also stop.

The engine of a machine can be replaced, so naturally the engine of the human body, the heart, can also be replaced.

Heart transplantation, simply put, is the process of taking out the "bad heart" of the patient (recipient) and then re-suturing the "good heart" of the successfully matched organ donor (donor) to the patient's chest.

It sounds simple but is very complicated to do.

First of all, this "good intention" requirement is very demanding.

It is best to be under 50 years old and have no history of heart disease;

No malignant tumors, no HIV, and negative for various hepatitis virus antigens;

No systemic active infection;

Same blood type as the recipient, negative human lymphocytotoxin crossover test;

Weight and height matching, weight matching is more important than height, the weight can be 20% lighter than the recipient, and can be 50% heavier than the recipient;

Match the size of the heart shadow on the recipient’s chest X-ray;

Brain death, circulation was stable, heartbeat was normal, and there was no heart damage when the heart organ was removed.

With such harsh conditions, it is not difficult to understand the rationality of the existence of that kind of "Loli Island".

Its existence is reasonable, and Loli Island is by no means just a place for dignitaries to enjoy themselves. The dark side of the world is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Fortunately, Zhou Qiao knew that the accident to the high school student was really an accident, because the other party had already had an accident before he decided to undergo the operation.

Heart extraction is actually very simple. Zhou Qiao did not perform any operations. He was in the heart transplant operating room, instructing the anesthetist to perform anesthesia and arranging the extracorporeal circulation team to cooperate...

Because the risk was too high, even though he had rehearsed the surgical plan in advance, he still had to keep a close eye. If he was not careful, the patient might not be able to wait for the heart to beat again.

general anesthesia……

With the assistance of Murphy, Zhou Qiao made a surgical incision in the center of the patient's chest to interrupt the blood supply to the heart.

At the same time, the patient's blood is transported to the artificial heart-lung machine through artificial pipelines. The artificial heart-lung machine temporarily replaces the patient's heart and lung function and maintains normal oxygenation and circulation of the patient's blood.

In the operating room, a team of twenty or thirty carefully selected medical staff worked closely with Zhou Qiao, Murphy, Elena and Ava.

The monitoring room was also crowded with people.

With so many people watching, Zhou Qiao and the other four showed no stage fright at all, lifting their weights with ease, showing extremely professional skills that everyone could not help but admire.

Although Elena and Ava are nurses, no one looks down upon them.

Not only because of their status as princesses, but also because of the professionalism displayed by these twin princesses, the most senior equipment nurses and circulating nurses present were in awe of their hearts.

The twin princesses are so young and beautiful, and their skills are so professional. This Iris Clinic is really full of mystery. Why can four such outstanding young people come together?

It is said that Iris Clinic also has several beautiful and beautiful doctors, who are also top-notch doctors. It is really unimaginable!

A layman can watch the excitement, and an expert can watch the door. Everyone present is a master. Naturally, the professionalism of Zhou Qiao and the four of them can be seen at a glance.

have to obey.
