Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 431 - Chapter 431 【431】Successfully at once

Chapter 431: [(431)] Successfully at once Chapter 431: [(431)] Successfully at once Xie Wanying thought: If the teacher said she could try, she definitely would. The teacher was more capable than her and had a better judgment of her abilities. Why wouldn’t she trust the teacher?

Her thought processes, as usual, were completely different from other medical students. From the look in her eyes when she responded, Tan Kelin read her confidence, which involuntarily made the corner of his mouth twitch.

“Have you ever seen how it’s done?” Doctor Shi Xu cautiously asked her.

She had been reborn; in her previous life, she had witnessed the procedure, but in this lifetime, since arriving at the clinic, she had not seen nor performed it.

“No,” Xie Wanying honestly answered.

Shi Xu hesitated. She hadn’t even performed it before? The patient’s cardiopulmonary function was poor, and if the lung apex were mistakenly punctured, it might not be possible to resuscitate them. For this reason, they could only let doctors from their own hospital perform the procedure. If the patient were easier to work on, they would have let an intern try. Sun Yubo, no matter what, was a resident of their department, very familiar with the procedure, and had performed it a few times, just not very adeptly.

“Repeat the steps of the procedure to me,” Shi Xu considered.

Teacher Tan, standing next to him, was not as hesitant and directly instructed, “Let her do it.”

Teacher Tan was decisive, almost as if he was afraid that not trying it would be missing a chance to be knocked down a peg, Xie Wanying thought to herself.

With the associate senior’s support, Shi Xu could only remind her, “When you’re doing it, if there’s anything you don’t understand, stop and ask the teacher first.”

“Yes, teacher,” Xie Wanying replied and turned to put on her surgical gown.

“Is she from your class?” Other medical students nudged Li Qi’an and Zhao Zhaowei on the shoulder, inquiring about their classmate Xie Wanying, curious about the newcomer’s audacity.

“Yes,” the two of them responded lacklusterly, hoping others wouldn’t assume they were as skilled just because they were in the same class as her.

But that was precisely what everyone else was thinking as they stared at their faces, “Can you guys do the same as she does?”

“She hasn’t done it yet, has she?” Li Qi’an anxiously interrupted their questions.

“We saw her and she seemed very adept; we guessed all of you must have practiced already,” the others speculated.

Such speculation was not without basis. After Xie Wanying put on the surgical gown, she double-checked the items were correct, picked up the puncture needle, and, with her left finger feeling the edge under the patient’s clavicle, she quickly inserted the needle next to the previous puncture site.

Her movements were suddenly so quick that everyone seemed a bit taken aback and didn’t catch it immediately, their eyes widening as they tried to regain their composure and determine whether they had missed anything.

Doctor Shi Xu, who was closest to her, blinked twice. He intended to advise the first-time medical student but didn’t have the chance before he saw where she had punctured: the syringe quickly began to withdraw dark red blood, signaling a successful vein entry.

“Remove the syringe tube, be careful to block the opening with your finger, so no air gets in. Get the guidewire–” Shi Xu said rapidly, his student’s proficient actions and sudden success took him by surprise, causing a flutter of panic.

“Teacher, shouldn’t we attach another needle head to a different port to check if blood spurts out to make sure it’s not arterial blood?” Xie Wanying asked. She was holding a Y-connector needle with two ports and only remembered that when she saw others perform the procedure, there was this step before inserting the guidewire.

“You can, but it’s not necessary,” explained one of the doctors from Guoxie. “For instance, in patients on the respirator with high central venous pressure during anesthesia, it can be confusing whether it’s arterial or venous blood, so this step is needed for further confirmation. But in your case, it’s clearly venous blood; you don’t need it.”

As for the guidewire, Teacher Sun, who had stepped back to assist her, showed her hands-on how to insert it.
