Chapter 1006 Bustling ICU
Three hours later, the operation was over. The tumor was completely removed and the hemostasis was done almost perfectly. This was a perfect operation from any angle.
Director Lu stayed by the side. Although he had left the microscope and could not see the details of the operation in the cranial cavity with his naked eyes, he still looked at the operation area sideways in the cranial cavity when the tumor was taken out.
There was no bleeding and the tumor was intact. These two points were enough to show the magic of the operation.
"Anesthesiologist, vital signs?" Director Lu couldn't wait to ask the anesthesiologist on behalf of the chief surgeon, because he wanted to know how such a perfect operation would end.
"Heart rate 78 beats/min, blood pressure 104/81mmHg, breathing 20 times/min, which is the frequency of the ventilator, and vital signs are normal." The anesthesiologist was more relaxed than any other time he reported vital signs during the operation, because all the previous vital signs were only temporary and could collapse at any time, and this time, it was more solid than any previous time.
"Is the heart rhythm regular?" Director Lu actually wanted to know the heart rhythm more than the heart rate.
The anesthesiologist still said in a relaxed tone: "The heart rhythm is normal."
Perfect! Director Lu breathed a sigh of relief. This suffocating operation was finally completed by Professor Yang. Fortunately, he left in the middle of the operation. Otherwise, he would be very tired to witness the whole operation process with a suffocating mood.
"Check the pupil every 15 minutes within 24 hours after the operation. If there is any problem, please notify me at any time. The rest is according to the routine after brainstem surgery." Yang Ping handed the finishing work to Song Zimo and told Director Lu the precautions after the operation.
"Routine after brainstem surgery?" Director Lu couldn't help asking one more question, because the doctor who only performs more than a dozen brainstem surgeries a year and the doctor who performs brainstem surgery every two or three days have completely different understandings of routine.
"Oh - Dr. Song will explain it to you in detail later, and will give doctors and nurses a table listing precautions."
Yang Ping found that his expression just now was wrong. In his own department, he could use the word "routine" to replace a lot of verbose things, but it didn't work here. However, after the operation, he or Song Zimo would explain it in detail again, and he would explain it again in the ICU, and then leave a form, and finally send another electronic form via WeChat until the other party fully understood it.
"Okay." Director Lu nodded, glad that he had said more, otherwise he would make a huge mistake because he couldn't understand "routine". Therefore, doctors must seek truth from facts, otherwise it is very easy to make mistakes, and some mistakes are fatal.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Su Nanchen finally had the opportunity to say hello to Yang Ping. The two shook hands and the brothers met each other very cordially.
Several young doctors from the First Affiliated Orthopedics Department also gathered together. They had more opportunities to meet Yang Ping before, but now it is difficult to meet Yang Ping, and everyone has fewer opportunities to chat together.
Principal Ding's vital signs were stable after the operation, which means he has passed the first stage. There is still a possible brain tissue edema period after the operation. If he can survive the brain tissue edema period, the operation can be considered a final success.
"How is the situation?"
Yang Ping has changed his clothes. He came out earlier than the cart that sent Principal Ding. Su Nanchen and other doctors also came out with him. Director Lu, Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang stayed in the operating room and would personally escort the patient.
"The operation was very successful. If he can survive the postoperative edema period, there should be no big problem. However, the acute renal failure that occurred before the operation may not be recovered after the operation. He may need dialysis or kidney transplantation in the future." Yang Ping briefly introduced Principal Ding's condition.
Compared with surviving, these are trivial matters. Yang Ping found that in addition to Professor Su, Principal Rao, Lu Xiaolu, and Ding Xinyu were also around to inquire about the condition, but Guan Ruyan was not there. He didn't know where he hid to make a phone call and hadn't come back yet.
Not long after, Principal Ding was pushed out of the operating room. Director Lu, Song Zimo, Xu Zhiliang and the anesthesiologist escorted him. Everyone gathered around to visit Principal Ding. Seeing the normal ECG waves on the portable ECG monitor, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Professor Su patted Yang Ping on the shoulder: "Let's have a meal together later. I came here on an empty stomach."
Yang Ping was indeed very hungry now. He had been immersed in the operation just now and didn't feel anything. Now, after Professor Su's reminder, he felt that his belly was already attached to his spine.
"I'm really hungry." Yang Ping touched his stomach subconsciously, and he was numb from hunger.
After arriving at the ICU and settling Principal Ding, Yang Ping went to the doctor's office to drink a glass of water to moisten his dry throat. Lu Xiaolu followed him out: "Professor Yang, how was the operation?"
Yang Ping knew that Lu Xiaolu was worried. Although he had publicly said that the operation was successful, Lu Xiaolu was worried that Yang Ping might just be polite and say encouraging words, because this kind of operation was meaningless no matter how you said it.
"Really, the operation was very successful, but the acute renal failure that occurred before the operation is unlikely to be recovered after the operation, and dialysis or kidney transplantation is the only option in the future." Yang Ping repeated.
Lu Xiaolu was relieved this time, and was sure that Yang Ping's words were not just polite words.
"What should I pay attention to after the operation?" Although Lu Xiaolu was not a doctor, he still wanted to know some details. After all, in his mind, doctors and nurses would not be more serious than himself.
Yang Ping thought for a while: "The most important thing after the operation is to pay attention to the pupils. I have instructed them to check every fifteen minutes for 24 hours after the operation, and notify me immediately if the pupils are dilated."
"Can you - can you stay here today so that it will be more convenient if something happens?" Lu Xiaolu mustered up the courage to make his request.
Indeed, if it is not appropriate to go back now, it is almost an hour's drive from Sanbo Hospital. If something unexpected happens, the day lilies will be cold by the time Yang Ping arrives, so Yang Ping decides to stay for at least 24 days. Hours to stay.
"I will stay here. I will sleep in the duty room of the ICU today." Yang Ping told Lu Xiaolu.
Lu Xiaolu's eyes clearly showed gratitude: "Thank you!" He also decided to stay. Although he was not a doctor, he felt that he could always help. He knew that Ding Xinyu had no opinion at all at this time, and Guan Ruyan's My thoughts are not here at all.
"Professor Yang——" Guan Ruyan's voice sounded outside the office. Soon, Guan Ruyan hurriedly appeared in front of Yang Ping. He politely held Yang Ping's hand and thanked him constantly.
"I have been looking for you just now. I didn't expect you to be here. Thank you very much. If you hadn't done emergency surgery for my father, he wouldn't know what was going on. Dinner has been arranged. Let's go have a casual meal together." Guan Ruyan always said He is so gentle and gentle, and his words and deeds really make people feel comfortable.
"Xiaolu, you go back and rest. I'll sleep here tonight, and you'll take care of me in the lab tomorrow." Guan Ruyan said to Lu Xiaolu kindly.
Lu Xiaolu insisted on staying: "I'll stay here too. It's more convenient if we have more than one person."
Director Wen of the ICU heard that Yang Ping would stay here to rest, so he immediately cleaned up his shift, changed clean sheets and quilts, and then arranged for someone to prepare toiletries urgently.
When Su Nanchen and a group of young doctors from the Affiliated Hospital heard that Yang Ping was staying overnight in the ICU duty room, they also arranged for them to stay overnight in the ICU, making the entire ICU very crowded. Some people even started to make do with chairs in the office to spend the night.
"Why is the ICU so busy today?"
Director Wen took out the cup from the warehouse and found it very strange. Not only was the duty room full of people, the chairs and desks in the office were occupied and turned into temporary beds, but there were also people lying on the floor of the locker room, all of them. Young doctors from the Department of Orthopedics and Neurosurgery, and even Professor Su Nanchen from the Department of Orthopedics, were crowded in the smelly duty room.
I didn't expect the ICU to become so lively tonight.
"There are still stools in the family waiting area outside! I want to stay here tonight but can't find a place."
Seeing Director Wen's surprised expression, Director Lu from the Department of Neurosurgery said helplessly.
"Forget it, go back to your own department and sleep, and don't join in the fun for me." Director Wen complained, almost stepping on someone just coming from the locker room.
