"The next step is the most critical adaptation period. Whether the patient's body can accept this smart bionic artificial heart and whether this smart bionic artificial heart is functioning normally will be the focus of our observation.
No matter for our entire medical expert team, scientific research and technical team, or family members, there is no turning back. If everything goes well and succeeds, there is no need to say anything, but if it fails, it means that the patient will have nothing to lose.
Rescue measures, immediate death.
Therefore, this short period of time is very stressful for all of us, after all, a living life is at stake.
In addition, we also need to pay close attention to the anastomotic interface between the smart bionic artificial heart and the aorta and veins in the patient's body. How to connect the living blood vessels to the artificial materials without causing rejection, and also to ensure that the main body
The venous-arterial vascular interface will not shrink or leak, which is what we need to observe closely."
"In fact, in order to realize the anastomotic connection between the intelligent bionic artificial heart and the cardiac aorta, main vein and other blood vessels, we have made a lot of efforts in this regard. On the one hand, we need the entire connection method to be quick and fast to reduce the operation time.
This allows the blood vessel network in the patient's body to circulate as quickly as possible, preventing coagulation and the formation of thrombus due to the stop of blood flow.
In addition, it is also to prevent other tissues of the body from being damaged by hypoxia due to long-term lack of blood oxygen supply. Especially the brain, if there is no timely blood oxygen supply within five minutes, permanent irreversible damage may occur.
Although blood anticoagulants and auxiliary vascular circulation equipment are injected before the operation to assist the operation, the entire operation time must be as fast as possible. Therefore, this requires the entire vascular anastomosis operation to be completed as quickly as possible. Conventional anastomosis operations only need to be completed at the same time.
Just the front line.
What we used this time is artificial arteriovenous blood vessels, so the anastomosis with the patient's arteriovenous blood vessels must be innovative in technology. In addition to the conventional anastomosis surgery, we also applied smear on the seams and surface wounds.
developed a biorepair glue.
This kind of biorepair glue can quickly cover the wound, allowing it to heal quickly, and can improve the pressure-bearing capacity of the anastomosis. In this way, even if the patient moves for a long distance, the blood flow rate is too fast and the blood pressure is high,
It also ensures the safety of the anastomotic interface.”
At this point, Wu Hao took a breath, and then continued: "The patient regained consciousness eight hours after entering the ICU, and twenty hours later, he was fully awake and in good mental condition.
Test data from various equipment show that the patient's physiological indicators have gradually returned to normal. However, in order to ensure the safety of the patient's life, we continue to closely monitor the patient to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Five days after the patient entered the ICU, all physical indicators had returned to normal and his mental state was good. At the patient's strong request, we transferred him to the intensive care unit."
"In the following month, we conducted continuous tests and examinations on the patient. All the patient's physical indicators have completely returned to normal, and a series of symptoms caused by heart disease have shown signs of improvement.
The patient can get out of bed normally and walk without any problems. We have even started trying to get the patient to start a small jog to speed up the body's blood circulation.
After joint research by the technical project team of the medical expert group, we believed that the patient's various physiological indicators had reached the discharge standards. It was meaningless to continue to stay in the hospital and it was a waste of medical resources. We then decided to handle the discharge procedures for the patient.
He was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate."
"The patient and his family were very surprised by our decision and could not even believe the fact that he had recovered. After repeated confirmations, the patient and his family were discharged and went home happily.
It has been almost half a year since this patient was discharged from the hospital. During this six months, the patient has been reviewed every month. The results of the review show that all the physiological indicators of the patient's body are normal, and the symptoms caused by heart disease are normal.
My high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia have disappeared.
The patient is now obsessed with running. He now runs every day and even occasionally plays badminton for a while.
Relatives and friends around the patient could not believe how this patient who had been dying in the hospital bed suddenly returned to normal.
The patient's family was also very grateful to us. Not only that, they also sent us fruit specialties from their hometown.
When he saw me, he seemed very excited, holding my hand for a long time and refusing to let go, and kept thanking me for giving him a second life."
Bang bang bang bang...
Looking at the series of pictures and videos of changes above, everyone at the scene gave warm applause. It is unimaginable for such a thing to happen to anyone. This patient suffered the greatest misfortune. Of course, he also
The most fortunate one. Fortunately, he got an opportunity that is difficult for all other patients to encounter, and thus gained a new life.
The situation of the second patient is similar to that of the first one, but she is very young, only fourteen years old, and is a little girl. The little girl suffers from congenital heart disease and has undergone three surgeries before. Although after the support of her family,
She was cared for carefully, but when she was twelve years old, her heart disease had already developed to a very serious stage. The little girl’s family visited countless hospitals, both domestic and foreign, and got only one result, except for heart surgery and transplantation.
There is no other way.
Then the little girl began a long road to happiness. She needed to stay in the hospital to ensure her physical condition and wait for news about her heart source. This way, once a suitable heart source was available, she could immediately undergo a heart transplant.
But two years have passed, and the little girl's heart disease has become more and more serious, but she still hasn't found a suitable heart source. Although there have been several opportunities in the past two years, they either don't match or are just a little bit close.
Opportunity, missed.
There are many patients waiting for heart transplants across the country, and this little girl's luck is obviously not very good.
The little girl's experience is heartbreaking, so she was naturally included in our first batch of clinical trials. Although her family still hopes to wait for a suitable heart source, they also know that according to the little girl's condition,
There isn't much time left.
After finally signing the consent form and the success of our first patient's smart bionic artificial heart transplant, the little girl's family found us, hoping to perform the surgery on this little girl.
