With the suturing completed, the last and most critical step is to activate the heart. In fact, it has been tested once before the operation to ensure that there are no problems with the equipment before the operation is performed.
However, this is a formal activation, so the steps are quite complicated. Because this heart cannot accept any data information to prevent wireless intrusion and control by hackers, the entire activation and previous controls need to be performed during the operation.
.
After making all preparations, as the surgeon activated the heart, the heart began to beat slightly, and the beating amplitude gradually increased.
Soon, the heart rate monitor, which was originally a straight line, also had a normal heartbeat and heart rate pattern. The patient began to recover his pulse, and his physiological indicators also began to recover.
After some inspections to ensure that the smart bionic heart was operating normally, and after the successful operation, the abdomen was immediately closed. This also meant that the operation had entered the final stage. The surgeon began to give way, and the assistant was responsible for the rest. However,
, this process does not require assistants to do it themselves, there is a medical intelligent multi-tentacle surgical robot to perform suturing. Regardless of the suturing speed, the stitching method is very neat and beautiful, which also brings a successful conclusion to the entire operation.
The chief surgeon took off his mask and came to the monitoring and teaching room to meet everyone. However, both the experts and the doctors took the initiative to give the first opportunity to ask questions to the family representatives. After all, at this moment, no one can compare with the patient.
The family members are more concerned about the results of the surgery.
Don’t worry, the surgery went smoothly, the smart bionic artificial heart has started beating normally, and the patient’s physiological signs have returned to normal.
Hearing the words of the chief surgeon, Zhang Lei's father excitedly took the hand of the chief surgeon and began to thank him. Facing such excited family members, the chief surgeon also began to comfort him.
"Don't worry, it's okay. We have performed seven or eight cases of this kind of surgery, and the patients' postoperative recovery is very good. After a while, the patient will be pushed out of the operating room, and then he will be sent to the ICU.
, if there are no problems within a week, he can be transferred to the general ward."
Zhang Lei's father nodded with tears and asked in a trembling voice: "Then can we go in to accompany him?"
The chief surgeon shook his head and said: "There are professional nursing staff in the ICU. They will provide more detailed and high-quality care to the patients. You don't have to worry about this at all. Family members of the ICU cannot enter, which will affect the patients."
Recovery. Especially at this stage, the most taboo thing for patients is large mood swings, which will not only affect recovery, but may even be life-threatening. Therefore, at this stage, we do not recommend that family members come into contact with the patient.
Of course, we can understand the mood of the family members. After all, at this moment, you all want to be with the patient and face it with him. Although you can't get in, you can still see inside through the glass.
situation."
Thank you doctor for your hard work. Zhang Lei’s father took a step back and bowed deeply to the leading doctors.
The leading doctor quickly helped Zhang Lei's father up, and then comforted him again: "Don't worry, the operation was successful, it's okay. You go and comfort the family members outside the operating room, we won't go."
With that said, the leading doctors turned around to communicate with the experts. This time there were several authoritative experts in cardiac surgery. Even the leading doctors did not want to miss this opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to have a good exchange.
The patient's father continued to stare at the glass, looking at Zhang Lei who had finished cleaning up and was about to leave in the operating room. There were two other uncles, one accompanying Zhang Lei's father, and the other excitedly.
He walked quickly outside, obviously wanting to tell other family members waiting outside the operating area.
Of course, all of this was recorded by the cameras on the photographers' hands and displayed for the public to watch. Although part of the content was subtracted from the operation and some content was mosaic processed, the operation process still aroused public concern.
Great interest. Especially everyone really saw how this intelligent bionic artificial heart was inserted into the patient's body, how it beat in the body, and how the operation was performed. This made many people understand.
When the camera turned, the picture showed Zhang Lei's situation in the ICU. He was still not out of danger. His body was connected to various pipelines, and his vital signs were closely monitored and maintained.
After the operation, Zhang Lei opened his eyes, but due to the intubation, he could not speak yet. But judging from the expression on his face, he should still be in good condition.
The most touching scene in the picture is probably the scene where Zhang Lei’s mother came and her sister followed the ICU glass and looked at Zhang Lei inside.
Zhang Lei's mother put her hands on the glass and looked at her son lying on the hospital bed with tubes plugged in. Her eyes showed endless distress and love. And his sister, who was still young, was still shouting with her hands open.
elder brother.
Zhang Lei, on the other hand, raised his hand with some difficulty to wave to his mother and sister outside the window, and then put on a smile as much as possible on his face.
But everyone knows that now that Zhang Lei's anesthesia has worn off, the pain from the wound has appeared, and with an artificial heart that does not belong to him being installed in the chest, there will definitely be some discomfort. In addition to some physiological effects, this discomfort
Another part comes from the patient's psychology. Sometimes there is even a feeling of heart pain, but at this time the heart has long been removed. How could the intelligent bionic artificial heart in his body feel pain.
Zhang Lei is also experiencing this at the moment. This requires an adaptation process. The first few days are the most uncomfortable. But even if he is uncomfortable, he has to hold back and not let himself have too many changes in his emotions and heart.
After staying in the ICU for a week, after a reexamination, it was determined that part of the direct transplant interface had begun to heal. Zhang Lei's vital signs were stable and his physiological indicators were normal. He was then sent out of the ICU and transferred to the high care unit. Although at this time,
It is not suitable for too much disturbance, but a small number of family members have been allowed to come in to accompany you.
After Zhang Lei entered the ward, although she tried her best to hold back her emotions, when she walked to the bed and saw that her son's face was already rosy, her mood instantly began to collapse. While trying to control it, she held her son's hand.
Hands, this time I won’t let them go without saying anything.
Zhang Lei's father, on the other hand, looked at his son with loving eyes, then walked to the side and helped cover him with the quilt. At the same time, he held Zhang Lei's other hand and began to take his pulse, hoping to hear his own pulse.
My son's heartbeat.
Of course, this scene was also faithfully recorded by the reporters who followed and showed it to the public, which moved countless people.
