Although Director Tong gave hope in the end, everyone could understand that this was just hope. I don’t know what will happen if I choose this conservative treatment. I also hope that a miracle will happen, and it may not help.
Director Tong, can you choose this conservative treatment method first, and if that doesn't work, then replace it with an artificial heart? Sitting next to Tao Zhengyang was his brother-in-law, a man who looked a bit gentle wearing glasses. He hesitated for a moment, or
He asked Director Tao hopefully.
After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but look at Director Tao, looking forward to his answer.
Director Tao shook his head slightly, and then said to the other party and Tao Zhengyang: "Theoretically, this is feasible, but the patient's age and physical condition cannot bear two such major operations.
This is a thoracotomy, which is already a major operation and carries high risks. If conservative treatment is chosen this time and the patient's physical condition does not recover well, the possibility of a second operation may be lost.
After all, as doctors, we don’t dare to perform major surgeries on patients with such poor physical conditions. The risks of doing so are too great.
In addition, if the patient's heart function does not recover well after conservative treatment, it will lead to a series of problems in other organs and tissues in the patient's body due to ischemia.
Even if an artificial heart can be replaced by then, it will not be able to undo the damage caused before. This is because some damage is permanent and will be irreversible once it occurs."
At this point, Director Tong glanced at the other party, and then continued: "The patient has already undergone two bypass surgeries before, which itself will have a series of effects on the patient's heart.
Because we know that bypass surgery requires the use of electric shock to stop the patient's heart first, and then we can perform bypass surgery on the stopped heart. After the bypass operation is completed, we need to use electric shock to revive the patient's heart and let it recover.
beat.
However, based on the patient's current heart condition, we cannot guarantee that the patient's heart will be able to restart after the successful operation. Once it does not resume beating, it means that the patient's heart will completely lose its function. So according to conventional standards,
All the patient faces is death. Unless there is a heart donor or an artificial heart.
Therefore, no matter which treatment method is used, the risks are very high, so family members must also be mentally prepared because there are too many uncontrollable factors.
Many surgeries are like this. Originally, the examination was good and the operation could be performed. However, the patient was sent to the operating room to be anesthetized. After opening the surgery, it was found that the opportunity for surgery had been missed or the operation could not be performed. At this time, the operation could only be terminated.
Already."
Director Tong's words made Tao Zhengyang, his brother-in-law, nephews and nieces look solemn. The meaning of Director Tong's words was actually very clear, that is, conservative treatment options were meaningless. Not only were they risky, but they were also
Postoperative recovery status is unknown.
But when they were asked to make this decision all of a sudden, they were a little reluctant to abandon the patient's original heart and replace it with an artificial heart. Moreover, according to ordinary people's understanding, how could a heart be replaced, and how could it be replaced?
A machine, so it makes it difficult for several people to make a decision at once.
Seeing this, Wu Hao also stood up. Upon seeing this, Tao Zhengyang and others also stood up and looked at him.
Wu Hao looked at the tangled expressions on the faces of Tao Zhengyang and his family members, and said: "This decision is difficult, but now that the matter has come to this, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the greater the risk.
I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first. If you need anything, you can ask Director Tong and the others, or you can call me."
After saying that, Wu Hao looked at Tao Zhengyang. Tao Zhengyang obviously understood what he meant, and then nodded and said: "I'll see you off, it's too troublesome for you."
Wu Hao waved his hand and said: "No, you are busy with your business. I want to go over and see Zhang Jun's father, it's only a few steps away."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Tao Zhengyang nodded, and then said to Wu Hao: "I just went to visit them yesterday. Brother Zhang is in very good condition."
Hearing the hint of envy in Tao Zhengyang's words, Wu Hao smiled and consoled him: "He has been through hell for once. It's his turn for surgery soon. I'll go and take a look."
Wu Hao said goodbye to Tao Zhengyang, and then walked out. He was not able to get involved in what happened next. Naturally, he had to find a reason to leave early. Originally, if he could not get involved in this kind of thing, then he should not get involved. This is a difficult task.
It's a thankless thing. The doctors in the hospital actually know this very well, that is, unless they have particularly important relatives, they will not help open this opening, let alone give any advice.
Of course, Wu Hao was also planning to go and have a look. After all, they were already at the Medical Research Center, so it would definitely be bad not to go.
Arriving at the high-end special care ward where Zhang Jun's father lived, there was a burst of laughter and laughter. Zhang Jun's mother was sitting by the bed peeling apples, and Wei Xiaoya, their prospective daughter-in-law, was busy packing things there.
"Xiao Hao is here!"
Seeing Wu Hao coming, Zhang Jun's mother and Wei Xiaoya stood up one after another, and Zhang's father also sat up from the hospital bed.
"Uncle Zhang, lie down quickly, lie down quickly." Seeing this, Wu Hao quickly persuaded him.
"It's okay, I'm in very good health now." Zhang's father said with a smile, but still leaned down with the support of Wu Hao and Zhang Jun's mother.
Seeing Wei Xiaoya rush to pour him water, Wu Hao stopped him with a smile: "Xiaoya, don't bother, I just came over to take a look, and I didn't bring any gifts."
Just come over and bring any gifts. Besides, you and Weiwei have already brought too many things. Upon hearing this, Zhang’s mother quickly smiled and said.
Wei Xiaoya, on the other hand, handed the poured water to Wu Hao, and then said with a smile: "You are here, can I not even pour you water? It's such a hot day, please drink some water."
"Okay, thank you." Wu Hao took the water, then looked at Zhang's father and said with a smile: "Uncle, how have you been these past two days?"
It's pretty good. I can eat and sleep. I just felt a little uncomfortable the day after the stent was put in. I'm much better now. Father Zhang responded, and then said, "If you ask me, just leave the hospital. I'm no different from ordinary people now."
Both."
Haha, Wu Hao heard this and said with a smile: "This one won't work. The stent in your heart can only temporarily relieve the condition, but cannot completely restore it. In other words, in fact, the original atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis are still there.
But the doctor used a stent to open it.
If time passes, it will become clogged again, requiring another stent implantation, or even heart bypass surgery."
