As Director Tong continued to massage the heart, the fist-sized heart gradually began to beat. From a slight beating at the beginning, it slowly became rhythmic, rhythmic, and powerful.
good!
Everyone in the observation room clapped and cheered when they saw this, and Zhang Jun even shed tears of excitement while clapping his hands.
Mr. Zhang, congratulations! Dean Liao immediately stretched out his hand and said congratulations.
Thank you! Zhang Jun held Dean Liao's hand and asked while thanking him: "The operation is considered a success now, right?"
Dean Liao glanced at the picture on the big screen, then nodded and smiled: "The heart restarted successfully, and there was no bleeding in the implanted coronary artery. It should be said that this operation is 90% complete.
9. All that is left is the chest closing and suturing, which is basically no problem.
However, the specific results of the operation will depend on the postoperative recovery. After the operation, the patient will be sent directly to the advanced special care unit for round-the-clock monitoring. The next few days are crucial.
"
Speaking of this, Dean Liao said with a smile: "Actually, after the general coronary artery bypass surgery, we will send him directly to the CCU for centralized monitoring and management, which is the coronary heart disease care unit. But your father is admitted
The advanced special care unit has more complete facilities and equipment, so there is no need to transfer to the coronary care unit. We only need to send professional doctors and nurses to monitor the whole process."
Hearing Dean Liao's words, Zhang Jun and his second uncle and uncle who followed in couldn't help but nodded, with smiles on their faces.
Then Dean Liao, when can we see my dad? Zhang Jun couldn't help but ask.
Upon seeing this, Director Liao immediately continued: "Although the success of the operation is gratifying, the recovery after the operation is equally important, especially the next few days are very critical. Therefore, for the time being, we need to conduct closed management of the patient.
You can only watch the family members through video or visiting windows.
If there are no problems with the patient, you can go in and see the patient in about a week."
Director Liao's words made Zhang Jun feel helpless, but this is a hospital, and you have to listen to the doctor, even if you have no choice but to follow it.
With the final inspection completed, the next step is the finishing work. Generally speaking, this final closing of the chest is performed by an assistant. At this time, Director Tong can get off the operating table to rest. But because
This operation was very important, and the person lying on the operating table was also very important, so Director Tong did not dare to relax in the slightest, and just completed the chest closure surgery himself with the help of his assistant.
Compared with abdominal closure surgery, chest closure surgery is more complicated. Because this is a major operation that requires a thoracotomy. To put it simply, use a knife to split the sternum from the middle, and then use an expander to expand it, so that the sternum behind the sternum can be opened.
heart.
Now when the chest needs to be closed, the cut sternum needs to be re-aligned, and then sutured with steel wires or staplers so that the sternum on both sides can be connected. It then takes about three months of recovery time.
Only then can we grow together.
In fact, the entire process is the same as fracture repair surgery, but it is more complicated.
The material used to suture Zhang Jun's father's sternum is a titanium alloy consumable similar to staplers. This consumable can be fixed on both sides of the sternum by a machine, thereby sewing the two sides of the sternum together.
After three months, when the sternum has grown together, these titanium alloy bone screws can be removed through minimally invasive surgery. The whole process is very simple and causes little harm. And compared with traditional wire fixation, this method
It is more reliable and less likely to harden and shift. Basically, about a week after the operation, as long as the superficial wound heals, the patient can get out of bed and carry out activities without being affected.
As the final skin and flesh sutures are completed and the patient is bandaged, the operation ends immediately.
There was a burst of applause in the observation room, and Zhang Jun quickly bent down to thank him.
Auntie and the others are still waiting, go out. Wu Hao reminded.
Hearing Wu Hao's reminder, Zhang Jun responded and walked out quickly.
Wu Hao looked at Zhang Jun's hurried figure, then turned around, shook hands with Dean Liao and the others and thanked them.
When he went out, Zhang Jun and his mother had already cried together, and Wei Xiaoya and his sister-in-law started to comfort them.
Upon seeing this, Wu Hao also stepped forward to comfort him. It took a while for the two of them to recover.
But at this time, Wu Hao could see a familiar figure. At some point, Tao Zhengyang was standing over there, looking at Zhang Jun's mother and son who were crying with joy, with mixed expressions on their faces.
Wu Hao walked to Tao Zhengyang and nodded gently at him.
Tao Zhengyang sighed immediately upon seeing this, and then said to Wu Hao: "Just now, my brother-in-law signed the consent form for the operation and decided to undergo an artificial heart transplant."
After hearing Tao Zhengyang's words, Wu Hao finally understood why Tao Zhengyang looked so lonely at this time. There is really no harm without comparison. The same disease, but different results, how can people accept this?
.
It's only Wu Hao's fault that they didn't develop these technologies earlier. If they could have been developed a few years earlier, it wouldn't be the result we have now.
But of course Wu Hao would not say this. He looked at Tao Zhengyang and asked, "Has the operation time been determined?"
Tao Zhengyang nodded and replied: "It has been initially determined and will be carried out in a week. The specific situation will depend on my sister's physical condition and the production progress of the intelligent bionic artificial heart we customized."
In fact, they have a finished product of this smart bionic artificial heart that can be used directly. But for successful people like Tao Zhengyang, of course they want something better, so they chose an exclusive customized version.
In this way, this smart bionic artificial heart needs to be customized, so that its overall performance will be better, more reliable, and its operating life will be longer. Of course, this will of course double the cost.
.
Of course, both Wu Hao and Tao Zhengyang are not short of such a little money.
"Now that you've signed, let's just wait for the surgery. If you look at it, this is not a good result. At least after the artificial heart is implanted, your sister will no longer have to suffer from the disease, and the whole person will be much more relaxed. Basically, she will be the same as
It's just like normal people, there's no difference, don't worry." Wu Hao looked at the other person and comforted him.
Tao Zhengyang nodded, but said with a trace of sadness: "But my sister's heart is gone. When I was a child, my sister loved me the most."
