The younger the child undergoes surgery, the smaller their body is and the less room there is for the doctor to operate. For example, this kind of open-view surgery for newborns, such as the small chest and heart surgery, is too big for the doctor to use both hands. Most operations can only be performed by one person.
The first difficulty for Norwood surgery is how difficult it is for one person to complete such a difficult surgery within the specified time. No wonder some people call this type of neonatal congenital heart disease surgery the pinnacle of cardiac surgery.
Classmates Lin Hao and Pan, who had never experienced it with their own eyes, stood on tiptoes and looked at each other.
Children are small, and the doctors and students who are watching cannot surround them like adult patients. They can only watch from the outside. Who allowed two surgeons to stand on the left and right sides of the child's small body, and the left and right sides were completely surrounded. Lin Hao and the others now began to feel the extreme horror of operating on young patients.
We like to compare the size of a person's heart to about the size of a person's fist. As you can imagine, 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 thing, the scariest thing is the thin blood vessels. As mentioned before, this disease will cause the child's aortic blood vessels to become very small.
This palliative surgery is not to target the inside of the heart, but to target these small blood vessels.
The steps of opening the chest, exposing the heart, and applying extracorporeal circulation are similar to other cardiac surgeries.
Standing at the head of the operating bed, Ye Sujin's eyebrows and eyes became more solemn as the operation progressed.
If the sassy and heroic lady suddenly becomes quiet, it definitely isn't a good thing.
Judging from the past experience of having multiple cardiac surgeries with her husband, Ye Sujin can feel that today's surgery is not easy, and it is expected to be even more difficult than she and her son imagined.
The son of the surgeon was relatively stable for the time being and there was no chaos.
In the eyes of others, the main surgeon's movements of pulling the sutures were as smooth and unrestrained as before, and the only assistant who was always holding the scissors was also very neat, clicking, clicking.
The electric knife was squeaking, and the suction tube tip in the assistant's hand was swishing. The progress was not hurried or slow.
The nurse suddenly came over and wiped the sweat from the surgeon's forehead.
Doctor Cheng Yuchen and the others, who were waiting by the sidelines, suddenly felt a sharp gasp in their hearts when they saw this. It suddenly dawned on them that even Cao Zhao was sweating hotly during the operation, which showed how difficult the operation was.
He was put on extracorporeal circulation, and Ye Sujin personally helped her son keep an eye on the extracorporeal circulation machine.
Cao Yong walked outside to answer his father's call. Cao Yudong said that, but he was actually a little worried in his heart. He called to ask how the operation was going.
Ye Sujin, who was left behind, remembered what her husband had said. The scariest thing about this surgery was that it took a lot of attention from the doctor.
The surgeon is sweating because it takes too much effort and attention.
The child is too young, everything is small, and the lesions are small, so he is always troubled by his eyesight. This kind of troublesome eyesight has nothing to do with the small effort in the surgical field mentioned before, but the relationship is that the organs and tissues to be operated on are all small.
"Teacher Cao, how about I help you sew some?" Xie Wanying volunteered, seeing that the fairy brother was a little tired.
Cao Zhao raised his head.
Ye Sujin and others saw it. There was no sweat on her head like a surgeon.
It stands to reason that it would be a lot of effort for her as a first assistant to help and keep her eyes on him throughout the whole process. Obviously, it seems that Xie didn’t pay much attention to this aspect.
