The younger the child undergoes surgery, the smaller the body, the less room for the doctor to operate. Like this kind of direct vision surgery for newborns, the chest cavity and heart are small, the doctor dislikes it with both hands, and most operations can only be done by one surgeon.
The Norwood operation is difficult for the surgeon. The first difficulty lies in this. How difficult it must be for such a difficult operation to be completed by one person within the specified time. No wonder, some people call this kind of surgery for congenital heart disease in newborns and children the pinnacle of cardiac surgery.
Lin Hao and Pan, who had never experienced it with their own eyes, looked on tiptoe.
Children are young, and it is impossible for doctors and medical students to surround themselves like adults and patients. They can only watch from the outside. Who let the two surgeons stand on the left and right sides of the child's small body, and the left and right sides are completely covered. Lin Hao and the others began to feel the extreme horror of operating on small patients.
We like to compare the size of a person's heart to the size of a person's own fist. In this regard, it can be imagined that when the child's chest is opened, the heart exposed is only the size of a newborn's small hand. This is not the scariest and the smallest, the scariest thing is the thin blood vessels. As I said before, this disease will make the child's aortic blood vessels become very small.
As mentioned in this palliative surgery, it is not to attack the inside of the heart, but to attack these small blood vessels.
Chest opening, exposure of the heart, upper cardiopulmonary bypass, these steps are similar to other heart surgeries.
Ye Sujin, who was standing on the bedside of the operation, became more solemn as the operation progressed.
The valiant and heroic sister Yu suddenly became quiet, which must not be a good thing.
Judging from the past experience of performing multiple cardiac surgeries with her husband, Ye Sujin can feel that today's surgery is not easy, and it is expected to be more difficult than she and her son imagined.
The son of the chief surgeon is relatively stable for the time being, and there is no chaos.
In the eyes of others, the chief knife's movement of pulling the suture is as smooth as before, and it looks chic and free, and the only assistant is also very agile with scissors to assist at any time, scratching, scratching.
The electric knife creaked and burned, and the suction tube head in an assistant swished, and the progress was not too fast or slow.
The nurse came over suddenly and wiped the sweat from the chief surgeon's forehead.
When Dr. Cheng Yuchen and the others who were on standby saw it, their hearts suddenly gasped. At this moment, it suddenly dawned on Cao Zhao that even Cao Zhao was sweating during the operation, which shows how difficult the operation is.
On extracorporeal circulation, Ye Sujin personally helped her son keep an eye on the extracorporeal circulation machine.
Cao Yong went outside to answer his father's call. Cao Yudong said that, but he was a little worried in his heart, so he called to ask how the operation was going.
Ye Sujin, who stayed behind, remembered what her husband said, the most terrifying part of this operation is that it takes a lot of eyes from the doctor.
The chief surgeon was sweating because it took too much effort to look at.
The child is too young, everything is small, and the lesion is small, so he has been bothering his eyes. This kind of troublesome eyesight has nothing to do with the little effort of the surgical field mentioned before. It has nothing to do with the fact that the organs and tissues to be operated on are all small.
"Teacher Cao, how about I help you sew something." Xie Wanying volunteered, seeing that Brother Immortal was a little tired.
Cao Zhao raised his head.
Ye Sujin and the others saw that her head was not sweaty like a surgeon.
It stands to reason that it should be a lot of effort for her to be the first assistant to assist and keep her eyes on all the time. Obviously, it seems that Student Xie didn't pay much attention to this aspect.
