Chapter 112: Success
"Don't worry about me, just electrify him and defibrillate him." Wu Xiangdong held the guide wire in his hand without any sign of letting go.
Because he knew that once he let go at this time, the balloon guidewire would most likely slip out of the patient's coronary artery, and by then, all previous efforts would be in vain.
"But, this is a current of 200j." Even so, Dr. Kong still did not choose to discharge immediately.
After all, if it is stimulated by a strong current for no reason, not to mention the fingers will become stiff and injured, and the heart may also be affected.
"What you said just now is that we have to race against time to rescue patients. Why are there so many worries now?" Wu Xiangdong was a little anxious at this moment, and he shouted at Doctor Kong next to him.
This sudden voice almost scared Dr. Kong out of his wits, and he unconsciously pressed the discharge button with his finger.
Suddenly, a strong electric current hit the patient's body along the electrode plate, and Wu Xiangdong, who was fixing the catheter on one side, naturally felt the power of this electric current.
In an instant, Wu Xiangdong's entire fingers were numb, and he could even feel the electric current running back and forth on his fingers. It soon spread to his entire arm, destroying his muscle tissue wantonly.
"Holy shit." As the saying goes, fingers are connected to the heart. At this moment, Wu Xiangdong felt a burning sting on his fingers, which made him grin.
But at this moment, Wu Xiangdong was surprised to find that the walls of the blood vessels that were originally tightly blocked gradually began to expand under the action of electric current.
This means that the balloon guidewire that has been "hitting the wall" before can be re-inserted.
"There is really no end to the road." Wu Xiangdong ignored the pain in his arm and immediately asked Dr. Kong aside: "How is it? Has the patient's heart rhythm recovered?"
"No, it's still ventricular fibrillation wave." Faced with the inquiry, Dr. Kong looked at the waveform on the defibrillator screen with some discouragement.
"It's okay, don't give up, continue to give him epinephrine defibrillation treatment." Wu Xiangdong decisively gave the order for the team members to continue treatment.
Immediately afterwards, a new round of rescue began. Under the influence of drug electric shock, Wu Xiangdong could clearly feel the changes in the patient's coronary arteries.
However, after several rounds of rescue, the patient's heart rhythm never recovered, which made Shang Lin beside him a little anxious.
He looked at the patient lying on the examination bed, and his face gradually turned from rosy to gray, which was a sign of losing vitality.
"This kind of rescue alone cannot solve the problem at all. As long as the patient's infarcted blood vessel is not resolved, everything is in vain."
Shang Lin was so anxious that he was sweating all over, and the breath of despair was swallowing him up bit by bit.
At this time, not only him, but everyone present was wrapped in this despair. They saw the patient's vital signs disappearing little by little, and they could only stare. This feeling of powerlessness made them very frustrated.
Just when the atmosphere at the scene became panicked, a deep voice broke the deadlock.
"Don't give up, I have a way to cure his disease."
At this time, Wu Xiangdong held the guide wire in his hand and kept trying. Even though his whole arm was numb from the electricity and even had no feeling, he still did not give up.
His resolute face showed no doubt, and his eyes were full of determination and confidence.
"Really?"
Following his encouragement, everyone also raised their heads and looked at Wu Xiangdong.
"Believe me." Wu Xiangdong grinned. He could already clearly feel that the patient's coronary arteries were dilating. He only needed another electric defibrillation. He believed that with his ability, he would be able to complete this interventional surgery.
Then he looked at Dr. Kong and said in a deep voice: "Perform electric defibrillation on the patient again. This time, adjust the energy to 360J."
"Okay." At this time, Dr. Kong also felt Wu Xiangdong's determination, so he silently turned the energy on the defibrillator to the bottom.
Along with the charging, the defibrillator emitted a piercing alarm sound, which was a warning sound when the energy was turned on to the limit.
The power of 360j was almost twice that of the electric shock just now. Everyone couldn't help but sweat for Wu Xiangdong.
After all, this operation itself is full of risks. Faced with such an impossible thing, they can only place their hope on Wu Xiangdong.
Everyone present was silent. They held their breath and looked at Wu Xiangdong silently, praying in their hearts.
At this time, the only sound in the entire imaging room was the ticking sound of the defibrillator. As the charge was completed, a violent current instantly penetrated the patient's body, and the intense stimulation made his whole body shake uncontrollably.
The same was true for Wu Xiangdong. His right hand controlling the guide wire was constantly shaking, and his entire arm was somewhat uncontrollable.
Wu Xiangdong gritted his teeth and endured the pain, trying to use his willpower to suppress the shaking of his arm.
But the impact of the electric current was not so easy to control. As a last resort, he stretched out his left hand, grabbed his right wrist, and forced it to stop.
"It'll be fine soon, hold on." Wu Xiangdong didn't know whether he was comforting the patient or encouraging himself. He held his breath and controlled the guide wire in his hand, focusing all his attention on the operation.
After this powerful defibrillation, the patient's myocardium was completely activated, and the suddenly enlarged lumen gave the patient a glimmer of hope.
This time, Wu Xiangdong's guidewire never "hit the wall". He could feel that the balloon guidewire passed smoothly into the patient's left circumflex artery.
"Make a film!" Wu Xiangdong shouted immediately.
"good!"
Because Dr. Kong from the radiology department was still holding a defibrillator at this time and could not complete the image immediately, Shang Lin, who was closest to the filming, rushed into the back room.
He quickly found the radiation button and was about to press it when a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. After all, through the glass, everyone was still in the filming room and had not come out.
At this time, except for Wu Xiangdong, who was wearing lead clothes, the other three people in the entire filming room were all in casual clothes, which could not withstand the radiation brought by the equipment.
Just as he was hesitating, anxious voices came from the studio.
"What are you waiting for, hurry up and take a picture of me."
"Doctor Shang, you don't have to worry about us, saving people is more important."
"Just take pictures. This little radiation won't do any harm to our human body at all."
The voices of the three people reached Shang Lin's ears almost at the same time. Through the glass window, he saw everyone in the photo studio with determined expressions, which only made Shang Lin's nose sore.
This time he no longer hesitated and pressed the button directly, and the instrument hanging above their heads suddenly made a rumble.
The flickering camera lights did not frighten everyone; all their attention was focused on the screen.
After a while, as the screen flashed, an x-image appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It can be clearly seen on the X-ray that the guide wire has successfully passed through the occluded blood vessel, and the balloon at the front end of the guide wire is at the place where the thrombus is most concentrated.
"It's done, it's done! The guide wire finally passed, and now the patient is saved."
Chapter completed!
