Chapter 213 ECMO!(1/2)

"Why!"

"Reincarnate in your next life and be a rich man!"

In the emergency room, everyone felt helpless when they saw the young man being pushed from front to back and being pushed to the operating room!

Seeing this, Liu Dongfang took a deep look. Zhang Chuntang, who was walking in the front, was very proud and could not help but shake his head.

"In a moment, you go to the blood transfusion department and prepare eight units of red blood cells!"

The incomprehensible words made everyone look stunned.

"Director Liu, do you mean to apply for Linlin?"

"She is so young, even if she needs a blood transfusion, she won't need so much!"

After all, one unit of red blood cells is 160ml!

Eight units is 1280ml of red blood cells!

The normal blood volume in a child's body is 8% of his body weight!

And Linlin is weak because she has been sick all year round!

Although he is over eight years old, his weight is only 26 kilograms. Calculated, the whole blood volume is only about 2000ml!

Eight units, 1280ml!

Almost all the blood in Linlin’s body has been replaced!

How big of an operation is this that requires so much blood?

While everyone was in shock, Liu Dongfang rubbed his head helplessly.

"Did I say that the blood was prepared for Linlin?"

"Besides, I need to prepare blood for surgery?"

A strong self-confidence burst out from Liu Dongfang.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone believed it!

Everyone who has seen Liu Dongfang's medical skills is amazed and applauds him!

And his surgery was visible to everyone!

Whether it's the pleasing knife style or the smooth stitching, it gives people a deep shock!

"The amount of blood loss during the surgery performed by Director Liu can be calculated in milliliters!"

"In that case, who is this blood for?"

Thinking of this, everyone was suddenly shocked!

"Director Liu, is it possible that this blood of yours is for young people who have had car accidents?!"

These remarks left them stunned!

To his surprise, Liu Dongfang had already had a premonition that the surgery to reconstruct the severed limb would not be completed smoothly?!

"Be prepared!"

Liu Dongfang didn't say it explicitly. After all, as a doctor, he subconsciously hopes that every operation will be completed smoothly!

Since the operating room was occupied, Liu Dongfang could only wait for other operating rooms to be disinfected.

During this period.

In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Liu Dongfang once again checked Linlin's situation in detail.

"Auscultating the first heart sound, there are wind-like changes, mitral valve insufficiency, and ventricular septal defect, with a diameter of about 3mm!"

"In the 2-4 intercostal spaces on the left edge of the sternum, a jet-like murmur can be heard, accompanied by tremors in the surrounding tissues."

"Huh?"

Liu Dongfang, who was checking carefully, suddenly frowned.

"Duan Kailiang, has Linlin had any surgery before?"

I saw a slight cut mark on Linlin's ascending aorta.

"Yes, I was so anxious just now that I almost forgot."

Duan Kailiang slapped his head. Due to the emergency, he had forgotten to tell Liu Dongfang such important information.

"Linlin had palliative surgery for tetralogy of Fallot when she was a child!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Dongfang's heart sank.

Although palliative surgery can greatly improve the child's quality of life and improve her oxygenation index at that time.

But this kind of surgery treats the symptoms but not the root cause!

In the later stages, as the child becomes ill again, surgery must be continued!

"I only found out about this after I adopted Linlin."

Duan Kailiang was a little ashamed, and even more annoyed because he didn't tell Liu Dongfang immediately.

"Do not blame you!"

Liu Dongfang shook his head: "Her operation was probably done not long after she was born!"

At this time, Liu Dongfang was a little worried.

If Linlin undergoes palliative surgery, the risks of this operation will be greatly increased!

Ordinary surgical anesthesia is far from meeting the needs of Linlin's surgery.

For this purpose, we can only temporarily stop Linlin's heart!

Perform maintenance surgery through ECMO!

"ECMO?!"

Liu Dongfang's idea surprised everyone.

Duan Kailiang on the side also looked sad after hearing this term.

The so-called ECMO is extracorporeal membrane oxygenation!

It can achieve the oxygenation required by the blood in the patient's body through artificial lungs and artificial hearts!

But the first thing it needs to do is to place a tube thicker than a thumb on Linlin’s neck!

Of course, this is not the key!

The most important thing is that the cost of running this machine is extremely high!

Not to mention the machine itself is worth millions!

A set of pipelines and materials cost tens of thousands!

therefore!

If you want this ECMO to operate, it will not work without hundreds of thousands of people!

"Director Liu, does our hospital have this equipment?"

A young nurse suddenly remembered an extremely serious question!

That is, it seems that Shengbei Hospital has never purchased such expensive instruments since its establishment!

"No!"

Liu Dongfang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Such high-end equipment, not to mention Shengbei Hospital, even in the entire Zhongdao City, it is estimated that only the emergency department of the Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is equipped with it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts sank.

The little nurse just now said anxiously: "What should we do? We can't transfer to another hospital now!"

"Even if you transfer her to another hospital, if you have a severe case of tetralogy like Linlin's, they probably won't do it tonight!"

"Even if it can be done, I won't worry about anyone else except our Director Liu doing Linlin's surgery!"

In the emergency room, a group of young nurses were chattering away!

Although they were helpless, they obviously regarded Linlin as their own child!

Duan Kailiang saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

He thought for a while and suddenly said to Liu Dongfang: "If I can borrow the machine from the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital..."

"No way!"

Liu Dongfang shook his head, breaking Duan Kailiang's fantasy!

After all, if an instrument is worth millions, which hospital wouldn’t pay close attention to it!

If you want to borrow it, it is undoubtedly a dream!

"Then what should we do? We can't just let her continue to suffer like this!"

Duan Kailiang hammered his chest, and the dull sound made everyone's eyelids jump!
