The Godfather of Surgery

Since Zheng Baosheng was admitted to the hospital, Yang Ping has not talked to Zheng Baosheng's family alone.

He called Zheng Baosheng's parents to the consultation room. Such high-risk patients should have repeated conversations before surgery, with patients and their families.

Zheng Baosheng's parents are fifty years old, with gray hair and dark circles under their eyes. They used to open a restaurant in Qingdao, Shandong. Seeking a doctor, I turned around in a big circle.

Several large hospitals have been visited, and the doctors have almost the same caliber. This scoliosis is already very serious and daunting, and the organs and blood vessels in the thoracic and abdominal cavity may have some unexplained exudative inflammatory lesions before. , resulting in extensive adhesions, contractures of the adhesion bands, resulting in the displacement and deformity of the organs and blood vessels, and there are still many variations in the anatomy of the blood vessels. No one dares to do this kind of surgery.

In the past year, Zheng Baosheng's stomach began to swell, and his breathing was a little difficult. After a little exercise, he felt a little powerless. When he was sleeping a little wrongly, he would experience dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats.

The couple was anxious and took their son to see a doctor at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. The doctor said it was very troublesome and had developed inferior vena cava syndrome. The doctor said that they did not dare to pump the fluid in the abdominal cavity, for fear of causing pressure imbalance and internal organs shifting due to pressure imbalance. position, it will cause more serious consequences, it is recommended to go to the imperial capital.

They had to close the restaurant, take stock of their savings, and prepare to take their son to seek medical treatment again.

Zheng Baosheng's father said that he didn't expect that Professor Liang from Xiehe Hospital would call him at this time. Over the years, some professors have kept his phone number, and he has never dared to change the phone, for fear that some people say that surgery is possible, and the phone cannot be reached. he.

Professor Liang called him and said that there was a glimmer of hope, and asked him to go to Dr. Yang Ping from Sanbo Hospital. Among Dr. Yang's successful spinal correction cases, some cases were more serious than Zheng Baosheng, but he was not sure. How to deal with abdominal organ problems.

Upon receiving this news, Father Zheng immediately took his wife and children, bought a train ticket, and rushed to Sanbo Hospital in Nandu Province.

However, Yang Ping did not go out of the outpatient clinic. He hung up the number of Professor Zhang Zongshun. After learning about the situation, Professor Zhang said that it was very difficult, but there was hope, and he was hospitalized.

Lao Zheng and his wife were so excited that they didn't sleep all night with the hospitalization certificate.

Professor Liang recommended it, haven't I heard you say it? Yang Ping was the first to hear Father Zheng say this.

Father Zheng blushed: These days in the hospital, every time Dr. Yang comes to the ward, there are many people. I'm afraid that it will affect Professor Liang's reputation. Professor Liang is a great professor. He helped me like this. I have to worry about people's reputation.

It is rare for a patient to think like this. Professor Liang's medical ethics is really admirable. He is in a high position, always thinking about his patients, and even calling them personally to guide them to seek medical treatment.

Thinking of the hurried figure of the old professor, Yang Ping was very moved.

Doctor, I know that the success rate of his operation is very low. If he doesn't do it, he won't live long. The child himself knows that now he is waiting to die. Waiting to die like this is too cruel. If there is a glimmer of hope, even if A little bit, we are all willing to take risks, even if we fail, we will try our best. Father Zheng said excitedly, he did not want to give up this last ray of hope.

Zheng Baosheng's mother nodded, which was what she wanted to say.

Go all out, there will be no regrets, the idea of ​​parents is as simple as that.

Poor parents all over the world, all efforts are for this child.

I was looking for you to talk about the operation. There is no model for this operation, because his anatomy has completely changed, the position of many blood vessels is uncertain, the large blood vessels will be damaged during the separation process, and the entire internal organs have to be re-arranged. I I have never done this kind of surgery, no one else in the world has done it, and there is no case to refer to, but I carefully analyzed Xiao Zheng's case data. I think that the surgery is feasible and the risks are high, but there is hope, and how many are there? I really dare not make any guarantees, if you are willing to take risks with me, I am willing to go all out! Yang Ping said every word, any surgery, except for rescue surgery, must be properly communicated before surgery, whether it is legal or Ethically, that should be the case.

Doctors who pat on the chest to guarantee a 100% successful operation are best kept away.

I know, a doctor once said that this operation is like rebuilding in a pile of rubble. Father Zheng said.

The mother sat next to her and did not speak. Obviously, she listened to her husband.

I'm talking to you today, just to tell you that you must be mentally prepared, he-may stop his heart and breathing on the operating table. Yang Ping finally got to the point.

After a short silence, the mother sobbed, the father buried his head, touched a handful of tears, and raised his head: Understood, we are mentally prepared.

Okay, then we will fight side by side, take risks together, and give Xiao Zheng a hope. We will now give him further examinations, especially for the organs and blood vessels of his chest and abdomen, to obtain more comprehensive information. , Before the operation, we have to prepare blood for him. In addition to the allogeneic blood, we also need to draw his own blood and store it for use in the operation. His situation is a bit special. His blood type is RH negative, which is very rare. In my country, about 0.34% of people with Rh negative blood type. Specifically, his AB type is RH negative, and the proportion of the population is only 0.034%. We need to contact the blood bank and ask volunteers to donate blood in advance to increase the reserve. Once the operation is bleeding, it is necessary to A lot of blood, everything is ready, and when the time comes, we'll schedule surgery.

For surgery, Yang Ping has always tried his best to be watertight.

A fluke mentality is an invisible killer!

I know, there will definitely be a lot of blood. He has donated a lot of blood before and saved a lot of people. Now that he knows that he is going to have an operation, many people are asking when the operation is going to happen. If they want blood, they can come over at any time. Glittering, as if with blood, his son's operation would be a success.

If so, the blood thing will be much easier to handle.

How many people with AB type RH negative blood can be called to donate blood? Yang Ping must be sure.

Dozens should be fine!

If there are dozens of them, and one donates 400 ml, more than 10,000 ml of blood can be collected.

These people, can you notify them now?

Yes, someone has come and lived near the hospital, saying that he will leave after his operation is completed.

I am for everyone, everyone is for me.

Yang Ping was quite moved: How many people came?

There are fourteen, and there are more than twenty. If the blood draw time is determined, they will come immediately.

With the support of these people, the confidence of the operation will be improved a lot. You let them come over as soon as possible and draw blood in advance to reserve. We need a lot of blood. Yang Ping has a little more chance of winning.

No one can guarantee that any accident will occur during the operation. Any preparation is to deal with the accident. It may not be used, but it is absolutely necessary to prepare.

Go back, I will tell you the progress of the preparations at any time. Yang Ping began to prepare for the operation.

The old Zheng couple listened to Yang Ping saying that there was hope, and they were so excited that they kept bowing.

Disease is an eternal threat to human beings. From ancient times to the present, with the progress of science, diseases have been overcome continuously, but new diseases will appear.

Therefore, human beings will always be on the way to conquer disease.

When this threat falls on a specific individual, it is sometimes catastrophic.

Just after seeing off the old Zheng and his wife, Yang Ping received a call from Huang Jiacai. Gan Fengyi's mother was sick and was in critical condition! The case data has been sent to Yang Ping's mailbox, and Yang Ping is asked for help.

Yang Ping quickly opened the mailbox on his mobile phone. There was a document in it with many attachments. The screen was too small to read the pictures on the mobile phone. Yang Ping transferred the document to the computer in the office, and then read the pictures on the special electronic screen connected to the computer. Read on.

At the junction of the skull base, the ependymoma of the upper cervical spinal cord has caused quadriplegia. Because of the paralysis of the ventilator, the ventilator is now used to maintain breathing. Surgery must be performed as soon as possible to remove the tumor and relieve the compression on the nerve tissue.

Compared to Feng Lao's tumor, this is much easier.

One hundred thousand urgent, transfer to hospital as soon as possible, transfer to Sanbo Hospital!

Yang Ping immediately called Huang Jiacai. Even if he flew over this kind of case, there was no corresponding team cooperation, no sophisticated equipment to assist, and there was no way to operate.

I contacted Lao Cheng and asked him to ask Mr. Zhu to come forward and help connect a medical plane to Chengdu. The hospital ambulance will take it to the plane and go to Nandu Airport. Please send an ambulance to pick it up. Huang Jiacai contacted Yang Ping, one side is already arranging transshipment.

If a fixed-wing medical aircraft is arranged for special transport, the safety factor is much greater.

Well, as soon as possible! I will arrange a helicopter to pick you up at the airport and keep in touch at any time.

Yang Ping hung up the phone and immediately called Lao Cheng again: Lao Cheng, how's the plane getting ready?

Lao Zhu came forward and dispatched a medical plane in the name of Anning Insurance. I was rushing to Nandu Airport. Lao Cheng was in a hurry and was leaving for the airport.

The relationship between Lao Cheng and Huang Jiacai is very good now, and they went to the United States with Yang Ping last time.

Go to Sanbo Hospital first, and I'll bring you a few people. Yang Ping was going to order a few people for Lao Cheng to take on the plane.

Anning Insurance has a cooperative relationship with the Chinese Red Cross 999 professional aviation medical rescue fleet. It happened that 999 had an aircraft that completed its mission and was temporarily parked at Nandu Airport. The aircraft that Lao Zhu helped call was this one, a Gulfstream G550 modified aviation rescue aircraft.

This professional aviation medical rescue fixed-wing aircraft has a maximum range of 12,501 kilometers and a cruising speed of 980 kilometers per hour. It can travel to and from Chengdu in a few hours.

The aircraft cabin is divided into four cabins: service cabin, medical cabin, special cabin for family members, and captain's rest cabin. There are a total of 13 fixed seats and a multi-purpose medical stretcher bed.

The aircraft is equipped with four complete ICU rescue and transfer units, including infusion pumps, micro pumps, ventilators, sputum suction devices, monitoring and defibrillation integrated machines, vacuum negative pressure plastic stretchers, blood gas analyzers and other instruments and equipment, and four sets of general patient transfer equipment , up to 8 patients can be transported at the same time, 4 patients in the recumbent position and 4 patients in the sitting position.

The aircraft is also equipped with ECMO extracorporeal membrane oxygenation system, on-board blood bank, baby incubator, heating and cooling blanket, medical film viewing lamp, laboratory operating table, wireless WIFI digital image transmission system for remote consultation and other medical equipment.

The multi-purpose medical bed in the medical cabin can be moved laterally to the middle of the cabin during the flight, ensuring that medical rescue personnel can rescue patients at any time.

At the same time, the top of the medical bed can be replaced with an on-board baby incubator or a negative pressure isolation cabin to meet the needs of newborn children and patients who need negative pressure isolation. There are 4 large oxygen cylinders with a volume of 21.5L and 4 large oxygen cylinders with a volume of 8.4 liters. L's portable oxygen cylinder can meet the uninterrupted oxygen supply of patients on board during transportation.

The plane is also equipped with several professional doctors and nurses, routine rescue drugs.

This plane can be said to be equivalent to a small mobile ICU ward and is currently the strongest medical transport vehicle.

Yang Ping was still worried, and immediately called Song Zimo, and asked the ICU director to borrow a doctor and a nurse, and asked Song Zimo to take the ICU doctors and nurses with Lao Cheng on the plane.

The plane picks up the person, and once they return to Nandu Airport, the helicopter from Sanbo Hospital will pick them up.

Yang Ping calculated the time and immediately called Xiao Su to ask her to prepare surgical instruments.
