Chapter 439 A narrow escape
Thanks to Huang Jiacai's overall planning, the time was in place without any delay.
This type of aviation rescue is very expensive. The standard for medical transport by helicopter is 35,000 yuan/hour; the standard for medical transport by fixed-wing aircraft is: basic price for takeoff 200,000 yuan, within 3 hours 80,000 yuan/hour, and every hour above 3 hours. Flight prices decrease in descending order.
Gan Fengyi's mother used a Gulfstream G550 and a helicopter for this inter-provincial transfer. If she paid the standard fee, she would have to pay about 400,000 yuan.
The Gulfstream G550 landed at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport and returned to Nandu Airport after picking up Gan Fengyi's mother. The helicopter went to Nandu Airport to take the patient, Song Zimo, and ICU doctors and nurses back to Sanbo Hospital.
The whole process took less than four hours, which is an efficiency that land transfer cannot achieve.
On the plane, Song Zimo completed the pre-operative conversation and signed the signature with Gan Fengyi.
The helicopter landed on the top of the Twin Towers, and the sound of its huge engine could be heard throughout the hospital.
However, the helipad is on the top of the surgical building, and patients need to go down to the first floor through a dedicated elevator and pass through a corridor to reach the comprehensive orthopedics building.
Dean Xia has currently planned that there should be a helicopter landing pad on the roof of the future surgical institute, and this helicopter will be mainly used by them.
Since we want to build a surgical institute, we need to be more impressive. Dean Xia is also preparing to cooperate with 999 Air Rescue. For some special patients with long distances, fixed-wing aircraft can be dispatched for transportation.
The helicopter stopped, the stretcher was lifted out, and the four folded support legs were opened and turned into a flat cart. Song Zimo, the doctors and nurses in the ICU, and the first responders all pushed the flat cart toward the special elevator.
According to the procedure of rescue surgery, the doctors and nurses who greeted him immediately drew blood, completed preoperative examinations, and then sent him directly to the operating room for surgery.
Because the longer the compression time, the more difficult it is to recover. Even if the operation is successful, spontaneous breathing cannot be restored because the respiratory muscles have been paralyzed.
I don't know why, but when he heard that the operation was about to take place, Yang Ping immediately felt extremely excited and secreted adrenaline at an accelerated rate.
Could this be the "bloodthirsty-excited" surgical behavior described by Bi Shumin?
The "flow benefit" Mihai talks about?
Or the adrenaline benefits of Vistabi?
Every time he encountered this kind of life and death moment, the greater the difficulty and the higher the risk, the more excited Yang Ping became. No matter how tired he was before, he would instantly lose all distracting thoughts and go to rescue with one heart, without hesitation, and go all out for the goal.
Door after door opened, and the patient was finally pushed into the operating room. The head skin preparation had been completed, and the necessary examination results had been displayed on the electronic screen.
"During the emergency reception at the local hospital, I was given methylprednisolone shock therapy. Now my limbs are completely paralyzed, my respiratory muscles are also completely paralyzed, and my breathing is completely maintained by a ventilator. The local hospital is ready to transfer to West China, but it dares not to transfer, so it invites a professor from West China After the remote consultation, the professor saw the film and said that the tumor surrounded the upper cervical cord, then penetrated the cervical cord, passed through the foramen magnum at the base of the skull, and entered the medulla oblongata. The hope of successful surgery was very slim. "
Song Zimo had already changed into his scrub clothes, briefly explained his condition, and started scrubbing Xu Zhiliang's hands.
Regarding the condition, Yang Ping had thoroughly studied it in advance and would start the operation immediately as long as there were no absolute contraindications in the preoperative examination.
Tracheal intubation was performed under general anesthesia, and the fat man performed it skillfully.
In order to make his hands more flexible, Fatty recently hired an acrobatic master to train his hands.
After successful anesthesia, the patient was placed in prone position and the head was fixed.
Disinfect the drapes and check before surgery.
No one is tired of the repetitive work every day and enjoys it endlessly.
The equipment is neatly placed on the equipment table, and the team members are in their places.
"Knife!"
Without opening a word, a scalpel was gently tapped on his palm.
Every time he picked up the scalpel, Yang Ping would feel like he was a god and could control everything. He was obsessed with this wonderful feeling.
This feeling is like magic, making his brain clearer, calmer, and more flexible than ever, and his hands more stable, accurate, and faster than ever.
The posterior midline approach is similar to Academician Feng Tiancheng’s surgical approach.
He was familiar with every anatomical structure of the human body. The biggest difficulty with this tumor was that it wrapped around the spinal cord, then penetrated into it, and then drilled upward into the skull through the foramen magnum and into the medulla oblongata.
But fortunately, the tumor did not affect the nerve nuclei, but was only in the gap between the nerve nuclei, which is the safe zone.
For Yang Ping, this was like picking something out of a bag.
He doesn't even need a large microscope, just a head-mounted microscope, to complete the surgery.
Under his scalpel, the tumor had nowhere to hide and was separated bit by bit. Bipolar electrocoagulation controlled the bleeding to a minimum.
The helicopter space was limited, so Huang Jiacai, Gan Fengyi, and Lao Cheng took a car instead of a helicopter. When they arrived at Sanbo Hospital, the operation had already begun.
The door of the operating room was closed. Gan Fengyi was familiar with the operating room. She had never felt that the closed door was solemn and solemn like now. Her mother's life and death were between this door.
"Don't worry, trust Dr. Yang, we'll wait here."
Huang Jiacai comforted Gan Fengyi. She lingered at the gate of the operating room for a long time before sitting down in the family waiting area.
Gan Fengyi was restless on the blue chair. She knew that her mother's situation was close to death, so she held Huang Jiacai's hand tightly.
This strong woman, when her mother was dying, became helpless and anxious, completely opposite to her usual work style.
"Why haven't you come out yet?" Gan Fengyi wiped her tears with a tissue and asked.
Gan Fengyi felt dizzy all the time. She couldn't help but cry on Huang Jiacai's shoulder. "Don't worry. The last surgery performed by Academician Feng Tiancheng was much more difficult than your mother's. Dr. Yang still performed it." Huang Jiacai was afraid of her back.
"Well——"
Gan Fengyi realized that she had lost her composure, so she immediately sat down and held back her tears.
Professors from West China have said that this kind of surgery is basically a narrow escape, and the hope is very slim.
Finally, the door to the operating room opened, and Yang Ping, wearing a surgical gown, stood at the door, holding a metal basin in his hand.
Gan Fengyi rushed forward immediately, and Huang Jiacai followed her, fearing that she would get dizzy and fall.
"The operation is completed, everything went well!"
"The tumor has been completely removed, there is not much bleeding, and the spinal cord and nerve roots are well protected. If nothing happens, there is a high possibility of recovery from paralysis. Now we have to be sent to the ICU and weaned off the ventilator, which is estimated to take five years. By seven days, I was lucky to have arrived in time. If it had been any later, I would have died. This was the tumor that was removed.”
"Take a look, we need to take it for pathological examination."
A large metal basin contained a complete tumor, which had been cut out from the cervical spinal canal and the skull. It looked like a piece of curly ginger with blood streaks on the surface.
Gan Fengyi was so excited that she didn't know what to say. Although he often interacted with doctors, he couldn't hold back his tears at this time.
According to this, her mother's life was saved.
A narrow escape from death, the one her mother caught.
After explaining the operation situation, the door of the operating room was closed again.
"It's okay, Dr. Yang said everything went well." Huang Jiacai was relieved.
Gan Fengyi rubbed her red and swollen eyes: "Thank you, Manager Huang!"
"How am I going to pay for the medical flight?" Gan Fengyi knew that if Huang Jiacai hadn't made a decisive decision and ordered a plane to fly the person to Sanbo, it might have been lost. At that time, she almost collapsed.
Lao Cheng put a hand on Huang Jiacai's shoulder: "Lao Zhuke said, we are just a few buddies. Your business is everyone's business. Their company will take care of the cost of the medical flight. It's pointless to bring up the money. Oops, Mr. Huang, I was just lying there for a massage, and my lower back was in severe pain. You called me, and it was so urgent that I rolled off the massage table, and my lower back was in serious pain again.”
"Old Cheng, I'm sorry." Huang Jiacai knew he was interesting.
"Don't mention the money for the medical flight, but you have to buy me a drink. How about two bosses?" Lao Cheng likes to joke.
"I will definitely give you money and invite you to drink." Gan Fengyi felt much more relaxed.
"The wine we want to drink is not ordinary wine." Lao Cheng patted Huang Jiacai on the shoulder and walked away.
Gan Fengyi didn't understand that drinking wine wasn't just wine. Is there anything special about drinking wine?
"What kind of wine do they like to drink? I'm not familiar with it. You are friends. You can tell me when the time comes." Gan Fengyi had no choice but to ask Huang Jiacai for help.
Gan Fengyi's mother was pushed out from the operating room with a simple ventilator.
After the compression of the spinal cord is relieved, it will go through an edema period. After the edema period, it is considered stable, and the muscles of the limbs and chest begin to slowly recover. The strength of the respiratory muscles is enough to drive breathing, and then you can go offline.
Gan Fengyi knew that at this time, she could not help and could only leave it to the ICU doctor. If she cried and held on, it would only cause trouble for the doctor, so she calmly followed the flat car to the ICU and watched her mother go. After entering the ICU ward, I talked with the ICU doctor and paid the hospitalization fee.
After finishing all this work, he found that Huang Jiacai was always by his side.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome!"
"Let's have a meal together sometime? Call your sister?"
"Why do you ask her to eat? She has lost weight recently."
"Then - what do you like to eat?"
"Whatever!"
"Then I make the decision?"
"Yeah! Also, you have to wash my shirt."
"You want me to wash your clothes?"
"Yes, who has been leaning on my shoulder? Look, it's all wet here, and there's lipstick on it. How can I wear it out?"
"Huang Jiacai, you think too much!"
"Gan Fengyi, tell me whether you want to wash my clothes or not!"
"--Wash! I'll accompany you to buy some clothes later. Change the clothes and pack them for me."
"That's pretty much it."
