Chapter 679: Chapter 608: Escape from Underwater

The young Duke of Gothenburg had already been taken to the operating room, and Yang Ping was about to make his way there as well.

The bigwigs present think of something highly important.

Today’s pre-operative discussion, as it was an imprompteau meeting, one vital person was not present, it seems he falls off the radar whenever he goes on vacation, making it impossible to contact him.

That would be the legendary figure of Charité Hospital, Professor Mainshtan. Although half of Germany’s Nobel Prize winners in Medicine and Physiology come from Charité Medical School and Hospital, the Nobel Prize isn’t a rarity. However, this professor stands out due to his arrogant nature and his ongoing achievements in multiple fields.

"Professor Manstein once proposed the classic phenomenon of consumption about Gothenburg’s condition, I think Professor Yang needs to have a listen."

Professor Lloyd is not trying to provoke, but as a team member, reminding others is his duty.

Professor Yang’s surgical plan does not mention the phenomenon of consumption, perhaps he was unaware of such a deadly risk.

"Please, be quick about it, we’re running short on time!"

August urged, since the young Duke had already entered the operating room; August needed to get Yang Ping there rapidly.

Professor Lloyd cleared his throat, "The so-called phenomenon of consumption, Gothenburg’s heart and large blood vessels have been under pressure for a while. Due to the heart being compressed, both its contractions and its expansions are inadequate, and the compression of the blood vessels leads to insufficient blood return to the heart. The output pressure becomes too considerable, gradually the heart becomes adapted to this low consumption status, but now suddenly relieving the pressure, the heart is liberated, and it can contract and expand as it pleases. The returned blood volume suddenly increases, consequently, the output load increases further. Initially, the pitiful reserve capacity is rapidly consumed under this high consumption state, and the heart could enter a stage of fatigue-induced arrest."

This legendary figure’s prediction of the condition is much more profound than all the VIPs present, as he can understand the illness holistically from different perspectives.

To be able to propose a consumption phenomenon suggests he has grasped the essence of this case, whereas others have not.

Indeed, the Duke of Gothenburg’s heart will traverse a deadly path if the pressure isn’t reduced, and it remains a deadly path even when it’s reduced.

It’s like being starved to death when not eating, but being bursting to death when eating.

It’s just like that.

Yang Ping had already contemplated this possibility, thus he designed the gradually expanding artificial thoracic prosthetics. These intricate prosthetics are not only meant for skin expansion.

More importantly, it’s devised for overcoming the heart’s consumption phenomenon. The space formed by the artificial thoracic prosthetic doesn’t expand all at once but enlarges bit by bit, hence the compression of the heart is relieved gradually.

This gradual expansion gives the heart a period to adjust.

Moreover, the rate of this pressure reduction process needs to be just right, neither too quick nor too slow.

Just how quick or slow it should be is what countless trial and error research would provide data for.

Therefore, Professor Mainshtan raised the question, but he can’t solve the problem, but Yang Ping can.

"My designed thoracic prosthetics can avoid the consumption phenomenon, the impact of all consumption phenomena on the surgery can be dismissed." Yang Ping tried to simplify the problem as much as possible.

The patient is currently lying on the operating table waiting for his life to be saved, there is no time for further in-depth academic communication.

Lloyd glanced at Professor William, then looked at the others.

Could the death cycle—consumption phenomenon, predicted by Professor Mainshtan, be avoided under his care?

Even Mainshtan himself hasn’t found a solution to avoid it, can he?

"Should we try to contact Professor Mainshtan again?"

Someone suggested.

Although Mainshtan isn’t the chief physician of the young Duke’s medical team, he’s an important consultant.

"No need!" August decided.

Why would they contact him now? The patient is already lying on the operating table. With a mentor backing him, August also turned down this formidable character with confidence.

August is the person in charge of the young Duke’s medical care, since August has spoken, thus the matter is resolved, and no one raises it again.

However, everyone’s still a bit uneasy. While this young Chinese professor indeed seems capable, Mainshtan is a Nobel Prize winner. The difficulties he outlined, can they actually be resolved so easily by a Chinese man?

In the operating room, Markus has already arrived in advance.

Along with junior doctors and a positioning technician, he helps position the young Duke.

The Duke can’t lie prone or supine and can only barely lie on his side.

Performing spinal orthopedic surgery in a lateral position is extremely difficult for the doctors, especially in the bone-cutting stage where there is absolutely no space and sense of positioning.

No one would perform a spinal orthopedic surgery in a lateral position.

Besides, performing endoscopic surgery in the abdominal and thoracic cavities in a lateral position is also extremely difficult.

After general anesthesia, the young Duke was put in a lateral position with the help of a special positioning fixture. Even the anesthesiologist frowned. For this deformed patient, whether it’s front, back, or side access surgery, the operation would be extremely challenging. Just looking at the situation was giving people a headache, creating a feeling of not knowing where to start.

Two instrument nurses were prepared, as well as two patrolling nurses, all were experienced nurses in their forties.

The anesthesiologist is August’s personal anesthetist.

The first assistant was August himself, and the second assistant was Markus.

It could be said that August had prepared the strongest team in Harald to assist Yang Ping.
