At the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Director Cheng Qian was also watching the operation.
Is this a joke? Cheng Qian didn't understand why a pair of twin sisters were needed for anesthesia.
Could it be that if you perform surgery on twins and put them under anesthesia, the success rate of the surgery will increase? This is simply a witch doctor, a joke!
Cheng Qian's heart felt cold. He still couldn't figure out why the hospital would agree to Boss Zheng's nonsense. Yes, in his mind, this is nonsense.
The world's top children's hospital has sentenced these two children to death. Do they have to hit a wall before they can turn back
The twin sisters were so young, they looked like students who had just graduated or not even graduated yet.
I don’t even know if I have passed the training period, but I have to undertake such an important surgery!
It's simply unreasonable.
Cheng Qian had countless questions, indignation, and anger in his heart.
He silently looked at the figures on the screen. The twins obviously had a very good understanding of each other. One was on the left and the other on the right, just like mirror images.
Between them, in the two ventilators, a middle-aged anesthesiologist in his forties kept looking at the values on the ventilator and monitor.
He didn't know this person himself, but Cheng Qian could imagine that it must be boss Xiao Zheng who brought his entire medical team to perform this impossible surgery.
Not only did they take away the right to operate, they also took away anesthesia.
The anger in Cheng Qian's heart became even more intense. This was simply a form of contempt for the Women's and Children's Hospital.
According to legend, Boss Zheng is very arrogant, but it turns out that this is true.
"Dr. Cheng, what is this?" Dr. Dana Sterling came to Cheng Qian's side at some point. She was also a little surprised after seeing the image on the screen.
"Teacher Dana, I told you before that this operation will be performed by Dr. Zheng, this year's Nobel Prize candidate. This should be the anesthesiologist in his medical team..." Cheng Qian's voice was dry.
"It's really Dr. Zheng, a tenured professor at Massachusetts General Hospital. I recently heard that the Mayo Clinic is also hiring him to become a tenured professor." Dr. Dana Sterling said.
Mayo Clinic, wait, Mayo Clinic? ! Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment. When will Mayo hire Boss Zheng as a tenured professor
"Did you watch the liver transplant surgery a few days ago? There was also a live broadcast of a new surgical procedure for the treatment of advanced dilated cardiomyopathy." Dr. Dana Sterling asked.
"No." Cheng Qian replied.
"You should check it out. Although it is not a pediatric surgery, the techniques are still similar. The surgery was quite beautiful. Dr. Charles applied for it. I think the invitation letter will be sent out soon." Dr. Dana Sterling Said very plainly.
"Teacher Dana, do you think the operation will be successful?"
"No." Doctor Dana Sterling shook her head and said firmly.
She looked at the screen. The conjoined twins had been put on the operating table and anesthesia started.
"Although I admit that Dr. Zheng's surgical skills are very high, this operation is not a test for him." Dr. Dana Sterling said, "It is a perfect intubation. Dr. Zheng seems to have no idea about the difficulty of this operation." There is an assessment.”
"Unfortunately, it's of no use. It's impossible to complete the operation even if a pair of twin anesthetists are hired."
After listening to Teacher Dana's final comments, Cheng Qian fell silent.
He hopes that the operation will be successful, but science is science and will not change based on human will.
12′22″ later, the surgery began.
The light of the shadowless lamp is very bright. The Women's and Children's Hospital only recorded the entire operation, which is not as professional as the Xinglinyuan surgery live broadcast room.
Even so, the general situation can be seen clearly. Three views provide a bird's eye view of the entire scene while taking care of every detail.
The operation starts with an open abdomen, and it is planned and done without any delay. Dr. Dana Sterling had a vague smile on her face, as if she was mocking the Nobel Prize candidate. No matter how successful the liver incision is, it will not have any impact on the outcome of the operation.
But 15'06 seconds after the operation, the smile on Dr. Dana Sterling's face froze.
If this surgery were to be performed at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, at least two groups of surgeons would be needed. Regardless of whether the liver or the heart is done first, different people perform different operations.
But Dr. Zheng actually completed the operation as a team! Could it be said that they want to cross over to pediatric surgery and at the same time occupy the two majors of cardiothoracic surgery and general surgery
And the most surprising thing is that after only ten minutes, the liver has been separated. According to Dr. Dana Sterling's expectation, this operation will take at least about 50 minutes.
Dr. Zheng's surgery is more powerful than he imagined, and he can even solve all problems on the operating table with an unrivaled attitude.
Dr. Dana Sterling lifted her back from the chair, straightened up, and looked at the screen intently.
It's time to open the chest.
Open the chest and explore the connected parts of the heart.
Holographic simulation technology once perfectly displayed all this in front of Dr. Dana Sterling and Dr. Cheng Qian.
Seeing the actual situation at this time, Dr. Cheng Qian's hands were filled with sweat.
No one spoke, it was so quiet that it seemed like you could hear the voice coming from the screen and your own heartbeat.
Cheng Qian felt that his heart was beating very hard, and his body was shaking involuntarily. The pounding never stopped.
As the chest surgery began, Cheng Qian became increasingly nervous. He wanted to take a look around to relieve his emotions. We are about to reach that insurmountable point in Philadelphia, and we need to know whether the operation is successful or not.
Only then did he notice that Director Han from the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery was standing as an assistant, while Boss Zheng's assistant acted as the second surgeon.
Cheng Qian was already unable to complain. His body was secreting a large amount of adrenaline and dopamine, and his legs were shaking faintly.
After exploration, it was found that the pericardiums of the conjoined twins were also together. Boss Zheng opened the pericardium and the donor heart appeared in the surgical field.
The two little hearts were beating happily, or rather in panic. Their frequencies are completely different, which can be judged by the numbers of ventilators and monitors displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
The heart rate of the big pair is 162 beats/min, and the heart rate of the small pair is 123 beats/min. The arterial pressure monitoring system faithfully presents the objective figures.
What to do next? Cheng Qian held his breath and watched carefully.
Boss Zheng did not take any special actions, he was just doing the preliminary preparations for separating the atrium step by step.
At the same time, the twin anesthesiologists, who had been standing on the side of the child's head, performed the operation at the same time.
Cheng Qian knew that they were adjusting the amount of medicine that the micropump entered into the intravenous channel.
The movements are consistent and carry a wonderful feeling. If this was another surgery, Cheng Qian would still have the time to appreciate this beauty. But this is an operation that is almost certain to result in death!
"Oh my God! How did they do it!" Dr. Dana Sterling suddenly murmured.
