Chapter 376 - 178: The Extremely Difficult Clamp, Cardiac Arrest Strikes Again_3

The world is not only filled with beauty but also suffering.

After a short break, they blocked the blood vessels again and then carried out the vessel clamping surgery.

It should be mentioned that clamping doesn't necessarily require vascular occlusion, but surgeons, out of safety concerns, generally strictly adhere to the relevant procedures.

"Beep beep beep..."

Not long after the blockage, the life monitor sounded an alarm.

The patient's heartbeat dropped rapidly, accompanied by ventricular fibrillation.

Dr. Guan panicked.

"It must have been the consecutive blood supply blockages that induced intraoperative sudden cardiac death. This is a big problem."

It was the first time anyone had seen Dr. Guan this flustered.

It indicated the problem was extremely serious.

Director Xue's face turned pale, with clear signs of palpitations and panic in the depths of his eyes.

This incident happened too suddenly.

Women are not suitable for being surgeons, not only because their physical strength is inferior to men but also because their mental resilience is generally much poorer.

When faced with emergencies, fear can easily render them helpless, losing the ability to think and make judgments.

Deputy Director Lu's brows were deeply furrowed, and his expression was grave.

Other medical staff each bore a look of intense nervousness.

The biggest fear during surgery is the occurrence of sudden accidents. Because the consequences usually lead to death.

"Dr. Zhou, hurry up and help with extracorporeal circulation cannulation."

Dr. Guan had to call on Zhou Can for help again.

Cardiothoracic surgery operations often involve high risk, with various dangerous situations almost emerging daily.

The preventable should be prevented; those that cannot be anticipated must rely on the concerted efforts of the medical staff to resolve.

Therefore, a strong surgical team is very important.

Capable of handling the highly difficult parts of surgery very well, working together to help the patients through danger.

"Who is Dr. Zhou?"

Director Xue looked somewhat bewildered, as there was no doctor surnamed Zhou on her surgical team.

Then, she saw the intern, who had been punished by Dr. Zhao to clean the operating room, quickly step up to the surgical table and set up the extracorporeal circulation for the patient with very professional and adept movements.

For femoral arterial and venous cannulation, if Director Xue herself did the operation, finishing in ten minutes would already be considered a great performance.

But Zhou Can took less than thirty seconds.

It was truly shocking.

It was as if she had witnessed the legendary monk reappearing.

"Dr. Guan, hurry and do cardiac compression! Otherwise, the patient's brain will soon suffer from ischemic necrosis," Zhou Can was now the one urging Dr. Guan.

He learned various resuscitation knowledge and techniques from multiple directors in the Intensive Care Medicine Department.

In the face of such emergencies, he instantly knew what to do.

"Okay!"

Dr. Guan had in fact already gotten a nurse to put on gloves, ready to perform cardiac compression.

In thoracic surgery, encountering a cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation is extremely dangerous.

If effective and precise life-saving measures are not taken immediately, the patient will quickly die.

Zhou Can, nevertheless, disregarded the extremely shocked expressions of others as if seeing a ghost in broad daylight, and calmly began performing operations such as superior and inferior vena cava cannulation.

Only Doctor Long, who had witnessed Zhou Can's capabilities, remained calm.

Because he already knew Zhou Can was extraordinary.

The most shocked was Dr. Zhao.

He truly couldn't have dreamed that the intern he had looked down upon would be so explosively competent. The various cannulation operations completely shattered his understanding.

"This, who is this?"

Deputy Director Lu asked other doctors around him in shock.

His gaze first turned to Dr. Zhao.

When he came in, Dr. Zhao had said that he punished Zhou Can to clean in there.

Dr. Zhao was just a bottom-ranking resident doctor in Cardiothoracic Surgery with very little knowledge. How could he know what Zhou Can was capable of? He was completely bewildered.

Stutteringly, he said, "He, he's an intern who just rotated to our Cardiothoracic Surgery department today."

"An intern can be this skilled?"

Deputy Director Lu simply did not believe it.

"What's his name?"

"It seems to be... Zhou Can, yes, that's right, Zhou Can!"

Dr. Zhao only remembered Zhou Can's surname and took a long time to recall his full name.

"Ah... so it's him, no wonder he's so impressive!"

Deputy Director Lu was far better informed than Dr. Zhao.

He had long heard of the intern Zhou Can's reputation.

It was said that Zhou Can, every time he rotated into a new department, would create huge waves. With formidable strength and exceptional talent, even the existence of Vice Director Ye was alarmed.

Director Xie from the General Surgery department had tried several times to poach Zhou Can, offering various highly attractive terms, all of which were rejected by Zhou Can.

The department heads Zhou Can had worked with all had nothing but praise for him.

Such a powerful intern, on his first day of rotation in Cardiothoracic Surgery, was punished to clean in the operating room. This Dr. Zhao was truly ignorant.

Director Xue Yan, hearing the name Zhou Can, also subconsciously shifted her gaze away from the patient's pericardium to look at Zhou Can.

"Dr. Guan, shall we start the extracorporeal circulation now?"

"Of course!"

Dr. Guan was pressing the pericardium while responding.

He did not dare to look up or move his gaze away.

During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, chest compressions are protected by the entire rib cage. During open chest surgery, urgent compression of the pericardium is necessary.

Meaning, it's essentially directly pressing on the heart.

The risks are self-evident.

"I think we should immediately use vasoactive drugs on the patient!"

While Zhou Can was operating to establish extracorporeal circulation, he also made a suggestion.

"Yes, yes, right, I almost forgot about that. Director Xue, please arrange for this immediately, I can't leave here."

Dr. Guan readily accepted Zhou Can's suggestion.

Director Xue, even if she were foolish, could see that Zhou Can held an unusual place in Dr. Guan's heart. Furthermore, his strength was extremely formidable. In a very short period, he had already prepared to establish extracorporeal circulation.

And every time he made a suggestion, it was very precise and on point.

It reflected Zhou Can's comprehensive emergency rescue ability.

"Today we were fortunate to have Dr. Zhou's assistance, otherwise the patient would have been very difficult to save," Director Xue elevated her evaluation of Zhou Can to an extremely high level within her heart.

She had also witnessed Zhou Can's true competence.

Seeing is believing, hearing is less so.

Observing Zhou Can's series of operations in establishing extracorporeal circulation, she believed Zhou Can was even more formidable than the rumors.
