..."An expert recommended you to us, saying that you are currently at the international leading level in this field. Not only do you have an intelligent bionic artificial heart that can completely replace the heart, but you also have technology to repair heart damage, and you have successful cases."
So my sister and the others immediately contacted your company and Linghu Medical Research Center, but they said that the products and technologies in this area have not yet been approved for marketing and are currently only in the clinical trial stage.
We immediately put forward the hope of allowing my niece to participate in clinical trials, but after checking, we found out that there are currently a lot of patients applying for clinical trials in this area, hundreds of thousands of them. If we just queue up like this, I am afraid it will be too late.
So my sisters begged me to come here. They heard that I had an intersection with you, so they hoped that I could come to you and use the back door."
Hearing Xu Xiaoya's words, Wu Hao nodded slightly. This is also what he has been asked for the most in the past few years. For this kind of thing, he will definitely help if he can.
After all, it is a matter of life and death. Although this kind of backdoor green light behavior is against the principle of fairness, so what. There are many unfairnesses in this world, and there is nothing absolutely fair. He has limited abilities and cannot take into account
Everyone can only estimate the people he knows and interacts with.
"Sister Xu, we have known each other for such a long time, so if you speak, I will definitely help you. However, I will explain it clearly to you first. You can also explain it clearly to the patient and his family members when you go back, and then do it carefully.
this decision."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Xu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sat up straight, looked at Wu Hao and said seriously: "Please tell me!"
Looking at Xu Xiaoya's appearance, Wu Hao nodded and said: "At present, we do have some scientific research results in the field of heart, which are mainly divided into two categories, or two treatment technology solutions.
First of all, the first treatment technology solution, I believe you should have heard of it, is intelligent bionic artificial heart technology. Simply put, this is an artificial heart that can completely replace and simulate the function of a real heart.
The overall size is similar to that of a real heart. It also has four chambers and can simulate the beating of a real heart. Its functions are basically the same as those of a real heart.
This smart bionic artificial heart has a built-in battery, does not require external batteries, and can be charged wirelessly and remotely. Therefore, the patient only needs to carry a wireless remote charger similar to a power bank as a backup emergency power source.
In this way, the patient's daily life can be greatly facilitated without having much impact on the patient's daily life, just like a healthy person.
At present, thousands of patients have participated in the clinical trials of our smart bionic artificial heart and have undergone heart replacement surgery. The success rate of the operation is about 98%, and the survival rate two years after the operation is about 98%.
Ninety-five and above.
Because this smart bionic artificial heart entered clinical trials relatively recently, we have only tracked and recorded data for two years.
According to the designed service life, the designed service life of this intelligent bionic artificial heart is about twenty-five to thirty years.
But during this period, the battery needs to be replaced every ten years to avoid battery aging and ensure that the smart bionic artificial heart can operate normally and stably.
But don’t worry, changing the battery is very simple. The operation is almost equivalent to an appendix operation, and the whole process can be completed in basically thirty minutes. The safety is still very high.”
Hearing what Wu Hao said, Xu Xiaoya felt relieved again.
Wu Hao glanced at the other party, and then continued: "But in terms of performance, this intelligent bionic artificial heart is comparable to the human heart, and can be said to be a perfect substitute for the human heart.
but……"
Speaking of this, Wu Hao paused, glanced at Xu Xiaoya, who was worried again, and said: "As for this intelligent bionic artificial heart, although it has excellent performance, its reliability has yet to be verified.
To put it bluntly, it is still in the clinical trial stage, and our test data is only two years old, so we cannot predict the performance of this smart bionic artificial heart in two years or longer.
After all, it is a machine, and it is a machine that may malfunction. But this thing is different from other machines. Once something goes wrong, your life will be in danger.
Therefore, we generally recommend this smart bionic artificial heart to patients with severe heart disease that cannot be saved and are in danger of life.
For this group of patients, every extra day they can live is earned, so even if the time is short, both the patients and their families can accept it.
If you choose it, it means you have to be mentally prepared for this."
After listening to Wu Hao's story, Xu Xiaoya was silent for a while, and then nodded and said: "I understand, I will make it clear to the family members and patients, and respect their choices."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this and continued: "The above is about the intelligent bionic artificial heart, and next I want to talk about the surgery.
This is a major surgery, a heart replacement surgery. During the surgery, the patient needs to be connected to ECMO first, so that it can replace the human heart and lung function. Then the patient's original heart is cut out and replaced with an intelligent bionic artificial heart.
The risks of surgery are very high and very dangerous. Although we can obtain the specific condition of the patient's heart through imaging examination, there are still some differences between the imaging data and the actual situation in many cases, and the real situation can only be understood after opening it.
Therefore, there will be some uncertain factors during the entire operation, which will lead to failure of the operation. Once the operation fails, the person will be dead.
So if you choose to have surgery, you must be mentally prepared for this. If you are not prepared for this, I suggest not to do it.
Secondly, even if the operation is successful, it does not necessarily mean that the safe period has passed. Because it is a major operation, it requires a long recovery process. During this process, there will also be various problems.
For example, infection, rupture of a sutured wound, or even a small cold can bring life-threatening consequences.
During the entire recovery period, not only the patient must cooperate with us in active and patient treatment and recovery, but also the family members. This requires patience and time.
Of course, a certain economic foundation is also required.
Even after the recovery period, you still need to pay attention. Although the patient can recover to a level similar to normal people, he is still a patient, so he needs to strictly follow some precautions.
In particular, you must charge on time, always pay attention to the operating status of the intelligent bionic artificial heart in your body, and pay attention to any situation and report it in time. In addition, the backup emergency power supply cannot be left behind, which is key.
If once you leave the body, the built-in battery of the smart bionic artificial heart will be exhausted, and if there is no power replenishment, the person may die on the spot."
