Chapter 236: Respectable
"Are you planning to buy one, get one free?" Wan Zhihua's hearty laughter rang out in the operating room. Apparently, he had anticipated Wu Xiangdong's next operation.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone showed doubts, so Wu Xiangdong told everyone what he had discovered.
Poof!
Suddenly everyone stopped and started laughing.
"Dr. Wu, you are such a kind person. You can perform two surgeries in one operation, which not only saves the operation fee, but also relieves the patient's pain. I guess the family members know this and they can't justify not sending you a banner."
"Yes, no wonder Teacher Wan would describe it as buy one, get one free. If you cut an intestine and get an appendix as a gift, I think anyone would laugh out loud in the middle of the night."
As the operation came to an end, the atmosphere in the entire operating room immediately changed.
Everyone was talking and laughing, joking casually, and seemed very relaxed.
When Wu Xiangdong saw this, he also shook his head. It seemed that a small operation like appendectomy was really not worth mentioning.
Wu Xiangdong then directly raised the knife and cut out the patient's inflamed appendix without hesitation, because he had heard the patient's family members talk about the child's frequent abdominal pain during the consultation.
Just think of this surgery as a good thing.
As a piece of earthworm-shaped tissue about seven or eight centimeters long was placed in the curved plate, Wu Xiangdong glanced at it, and the traveling nurse understood what he meant, and immediately took a yellow specimen bag and put it in.
As the nurse left, Wu Xiangdong had also properly ligated the appendix stump, and used the purse-string suture method to bury the appendix stump with the seromuscular layer to prevent the possibility of leakage from the appendix stump.
"Dr. Wu, the irrigation fluid has been prepared. Do you want to use it now?"
"Can."
Wu Xiangdong nodded. Since the patient already had symptoms of septic shock before entering the room, Wu Xiangdong asked the nurse to perform lavage for half an hour in order to ensure that the abdominal cavity was relatively sterile.
As the negative pressure drainage device was started again, the disinfected abdominal cavity appeared in front of everyone. Compared with the filthy stench that filled the abdomen before, the abdominal cavity at this moment was already clean. It would be an understatement to describe it as spotless.
"Okay, we can call it a day." Seeing this, Wu Xiangdong nodded with satisfaction.
"Doctor Wu, do we still need to put in a drainage tube?" asked the circulating nurse who was responsible for putting materials on the operating table.
It is important to know that drainage tubes are routinely left in place before the end of the operation. The purpose is mainly to observe the color, properties and drainage volume of the drainage fluid in the drainage tube to determine whether there is persistent postoperative abdominal bleeding, leakage of digestive juices and whether there is any.
Infect.
But at this time, the technology demonstrated by Wu Xiangdong had perfectly avoided these risks, so the nurse asked Wu Xiangdong whether he wanted to leave a drainage tube.
After all, the drainage tube needs to be punctured under the skin, which is considered a minor trauma.
Faced with the inquiry, Wu Xiangdong thought for a moment and nodded in response: "The patient's early infection was relatively serious, and the inflammatory mediators adhered to the intestinal wall for a long time, which will aggravate the infection. Even if we have given him anti-infection measures, we still need to
Prevent accidents from happening.”
Although Wu Xiangdong was extremely confident in his operation, he did not trust Zhao Guoqiang's handling, so he left a drainage tube in place. If problems did arise later, he could use this abdominal drainage tube to inject drugs into the abdominal cavity to achieve the desired outcome.
Purpose.
"Okay, I understand."
Wu Xiangdong's words made people feel very reasonable, so the drainage tube was quickly handed to the table. As the tube lumen was placed, after counting the instruments and materials used with the nurse, the patient's abdomen was closed and sutured immediately.
As the last stitch completely sutured the patient's incised skin, the entire operation was declared successful.
Wu Xiangdong looked at the time on the wall: "The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy today, partial ileal resection, intestinal adhesion lysis, and appendectomy."
"The operation lasted 2 hours, and the intraoperative blood loss was 50ml. The operation ended at 3:30 pm."
"No blood components and blood volume were transfused, the patient's vital signs were stable, and all indicators were normal."
"The operation is over. Thank you to all the teachers for your cooperation. Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Xiangdong looked around and nodded solemnly to everyone to thank everyone for their efforts.
This highly ceremonial approach made everyone present feel at a loss because they had never enjoyed such courtesy before. For a moment, everyone was stunned on the spot.
Even Wan Zhihua, who has been working the longest, is looking at Wu Xiangdong in a daze.
Under the shadowless lamp, he seemed to find that Wu Xiangdong's entire body was glowing, giving people endless power and glory like an angel descending to earth.
At this time, even the eyes of the nurses in the operating room were starting to turn red. They never thought that one day they would receive such recognition and encouragement when they were on stage.
"Doctor Wu, this... is what we should do."
The equipment nurse's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in her eyes. At this moment, she looked at Wu Xiangdong again, her heart full of trust.
After all, everyone has feelings. When you respect others, you will naturally gain respect from others.
The same was true for Wu Xiangdong at this time. Through his superb skills and extraordinary courage, he not only saved the patient, but also gained the respect and support of everyone present because of his approachable principles of doing things.
At this time, Wu Xiangdong saw that the patient's condition had stabilized, and immediately said: "Lao Wan, prepare to stop the sedatives. After the patient wakes up, we will conduct an evaluation. If possible, we will extubate the patient directly. Then we will directly transfer him to the general ward."
"I will go out now to talk to my family members and take a look at the situation outside."
"Received." Wan Zhihua nodded. As a veteran, he certainly knew what Wu Xiangdong said about the outside situation.
You must know that Chief Luo came with them, but he did not appear in the operating room until the end of the operation. There must be something outside that prevented him from getting away.
"Then please be careful."
"Okay, I got it, don't worry."
Wu Xiangdong took off his gloves, took off the outer green surgical gown, threw it into the yellow trash can aside, and then walked out of the operating room.
After walking through the long and narrow corridor, Wu Xiangdong had just arrived at the rest area of the operating room when he heard Zhao Guoqiang's voice coming from inside.
"Chief Luo, after all, this patient is admitted to our General Surgery Department. Even if his family members keep looking for you and insist on performing an operation on him, shouldn't I be allowed to follow him?"
Chapter completed!
