Chapter 330: Chapter 221: Shock Again, Bedside Surgical Intervention

Just as they ran into the emergency room, they saw two nurses desperately performing chest compressions.

“What’s happening?”

Lin Hai glanced at the straight line on the monitor and the continuously dropping blood oxygen level, frowning deeply.

“Two minutes ago, the patient’s heart stopped again. We’ve administered two doses of adrenaline, but there’s still no response.”

The nurse quickly explained the situation, continuously increasing oxygen supply and fluid replenishment.

“Let me do it! Quickly notify Director Liu in cardiology.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai rolled up his sleeves and immediately took over from the nurse, continuing the forceful compressions.

“Add two more doses of adrenaline, hurry!”

Qin Feng also joined the rescue efforts, experiencing his first resuscitation here from an observer’s perspective.

The resident doctor in charge of the ward was continuously making phone calls.

“Yes, yes! Bring it up here, hurry up and bring it up here.”

“Is this the blood bank? Prepare 3 units of plasma for me, we need…”

…

The entire observation room was filled with tension and heaviness, with no pause in the resuscitation efforts.

About 5 minutes later,

“What’s going on?”

Liu Guofeng hurriedly arrived with a team, rushing to the bedside to ask Lin Hai who was performing CPR.

“The heart stopped again, blood oxygen levels keep dropping, 20 minutes and 4 doses of adrenaline, no response.”

Qin Feng stepped forward to relieve the breathless Lin Hai, continuing with vigorous compressions.

At this moment, the patient’s entire body had lost its color, turning from yellow to white.

During a brief moment of relaxation, he glanced at the monitor, and the blood oxygen level was only 16.

’It’s not working!’

He frowned deeply, thinking to himself.

The difference between viral infective endocarditis and viral myocarditis leads to confusion for those with little medical knowledge.

But they are fundamentally different in terms of origin!

The patient had already delayed too long before coming to the hospital until shock set in, and the heart condition was not even up to surgical standards.

With shock happening again, it indicates a situation beyond recovery.

Heart failure!

The primary cause of death in infective endocarditis is heart failure, which is also the most common complication, with a mortality rate reaching 97%!

Currently, there’s only one best method, to take a gamble!

Simultaneously, Liu Guofeng also noticed this situation.

“Quick! Immediately notify the operating room and interventional radiology, prepare for an emergency bedside surgery!”

He shouted, quickly contacting the relevant departments to bring surgical instruments here,

“Dr. Lin, notify critical condition.”

“Alright!”

Acknowledging this, Lin Hai nodded with a solemn expression and quickly ran out.

Given the patient’s current condition, there’s no time to transfer to an operating room; valve repair surgery must be done immediately.

This is currently the only method with the slightest hope of saving the patient!

His thoughts coincided with Qin Feng’s.

But these thoughts require exceptionally strong capabilities to support!

If placed in a hospital in a third-tier city like Jiangcheng, no doctor would dare to make such a risky decision.

As for why, it quickly became apparent.

“Director Liu, the operating room is ready!”

“Interventional radiology is ready!”

“The blood supply is ready!”

In less than 5 minutes, all personnel from the collaborative departments were on-site, and the surgical instruments were sterilized and ready.

Bedside surgery!

“Alright, prepare for surgery, valve repair.”

Liu Guofeng nodded, addressing all the personnel in a serious tone.

Wearing sterile clothing, hats, and masks, he put on gloves and looked up at Qin Feng.

“Qin Feng, I’m going to begin the surgery.”

“Understood, Director Liu.”

At this moment, while continually performing CPR, he nodded in acknowledgment upon hearing Director Liu’s words.

This meant that Liu Guofeng would perform valve surgery directly while Qin Feng was continuously compressing the patient’s heart, causing the whole body to tremble.

Master-level skill!

“Scalpel!”

Under the mobile shadowless lamp, Liu Guofeng took the scalpel and began the incision at the left groin.

“Two doses of atropine.”

At this moment, Qin Feng looked up and instructed the nurse beside him.

“Stop.”

Hearing Liu Guofeng’s voice, he paused, quickly making the incision during a brief CPR interval.

The scalpel fell with precision!

It’s crucial to realize how challenging it is for a surgeon to cut open a patient’s skin and locate the artery on a moving body!

“Puncture catheter, arterial tube.”

After completing the incision, Qin Feng continued with compressions as soon as the scalpel was set aside, seamlessly transitioning.

Liu Guofeng took the catheter, preparing to insert the metal guide wire to monitor the patient’s arterial condition, providing conditions for the resuscitation.

As Qin Feng pressed, Liu Guofeng’s eyebrows furrowed while trying to insert the catheter into the vessel.

minute…

minutes…

minutes…

The next second, Qin Feng saw Liu Guofeng standing upright again with a solemn expression.

“Pass me another puncture catheter and arterial tube, Dr. Wang, give it a try.”

He then looked up at the on-call doctor in the interventional radiology department.

“Okay, Director Liu.”

The doctor from interventional radiology stepped forward, having already changed into sterile attire.

He took the catheter and began puncturing again.

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats because if the puncture failed, the surgery would be difficult to proceed.

The patient had been in shock for over 25 minutes.

If this continues, even if the surgery succeeds, the chances of survival are very slim.

Brain cells suffer irreversible damage due to prolonged oxygen deprivation.

Everyone was intensely focused on waiting for a successful intervention.

minute…

minutes…

minutes…

Dr. Wang also looked up, his face not looking good, and shook his head at Liu Guofeng.

“Director Liu, it’s not possible; the vessels have atrophied.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt as if a massive stone had pressed on their chests, making it impossible to breathe.

An intervention failure, how could they save the patient now?

“Director Liu, let me try.”

At this moment, Lin Hai returned and replaced Qin Feng.

A voice sounded, drawing all eyes to the person that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Qin Feng!

Though they didn’t know him, his reputation had spread throughout Peking Union Medical College Hospital the very next day.

As the first doctor from critical care medicine with a bachelor’s degree immediately after completing a 3-year residency program to be exceptionally hired.

He was directly appointed at the attending level!

Some even heard that this was personally approved by both the vice president and the director of critical care medicine, two national experts in the field.

Tales about Qin Feng were spreading wildly within the hospital!

Yet not a single person doubted his skills or suspected any background influence.

Everyone knew that critical care here was at the peak of Jiuzhou Country’s standards!

Not to mention someone like him coming from the bottom; even national top figures from other areas couldn’t push someone through.

Unless the standing vice president and the director of critical care medicine of Peking Union were dismissed!

Without real skills, no matter their connections, they were not accepted.

This was the consensus in the hospital and even nationwide in critical care medicine.

Thus, Qin Feng’s appearance was greeted with shock but hardly any skepticism.

Additionally, due to this incident, some of Qin Feng’s past experiences were uncovered, causing further awe!

“You want to do it?”

Looking at Qin Feng, Liu Guofeng was momentarily surprised but quickly nodded in agreement upon recalling Qin Feng’s background,

“Alright, Dr. Qin, give it a try.”
