“Chen collapsed during the surgery!”
When this news reached Chen Gang’s ears, he virtually didn’t react and ran straight toward the operating room!
Chen’s surgery was the first one of the day, and next door, Director An was also performing a surgery. There were three surgeries scheduled for OR 8 that morning, and Chen Cang was just finishing helping Director An stitch up a tendon.
As soon as the news of Chen’s collapse came, Director An didn’t react at all, continuing to suture the severed finger, whereas Chen Gang’s face turned pale, and he turned around and ran out.
Chen Cang was an assistant, so he left, but An Yanjun was the chief surgeon, so at this time, even if there was a fight outside, he had to complete the surgery, undistracted!
With a panic-stricken face and mind full of urgency, Chen Cang arrived next door to see Chen lying on the ground, as white as a sheet, even his breathing was weak!
He rushed to check on him!
At this moment, [Mirror] began a full scan of Chen.
[Examination complete. Patient’s fainting is diagnosed as a cardiac syncope. The patient’s long-term fatigue has caused inadequate cardiac blood supply, leading to transient cerebral ischemia. Recommendation: Improve circulation, increase blood supply, oxygen inhalation, oral administration: flunarizine…] Hearing the system prompt, Chen Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Thank goodness it wasn’t anything serious!
However, the nurses for the emergency surgery were already becoming panicked.
After all, the emergency surgery department had only been established for a few days, and these nurses had never encountered such situations, becoming completely disorganized!
Chen Cang quickly got up and began delegating tasks, calling the free nurses outside to come in and lift Chen onto the bed.
Chen was limp on the ground, seemingly without any strength, and the nurses were clumsy. A trolley was already brought over, and for the first time, Chen Cang felt a surge of concern and panic: “Chen! Chen! Are you alright?” With weakly opened eyes, Chen looked up, saw it was Chen Cang, and suddenly grabbed Chen Gang’s hand: “Go perform the surgery quickly, there was a slight issue when I fainted just now, you need to check on it!”
Chen’s voice was very faint, none of the nurses knew what the problem was, only Chen Cang heard it loud and clear.
Chen Cang hurriedly phoned the emergency department’s Wang Yong: “Wang Yong, Teacher Chen has fainted, you come down here quick, it might be a cardiac-induced insufficient blood supply, causing transient cerebral ischemia…”
After making the call, Chen Cang turned around, just in time to see the image on the big screen. His face changed, and he quickly stood up: “The nurses from the recent surgery, don’t go anywhere, wait for Wang Yong to come and take Chen to the intensive care unit, then help me continue with the surgery!” Hearing Chen Gang’s words, everyone suddenly had a sense of reliance, quickly nodding. Chen was lifted onto the bed to lie flat, and they placed the oxygen bag from the OR on Chen.
The surgery had to continue quickly, otherwise, the patient might have complications!
They had to change their clothes and gloves!
A group of people hurriedly changed into new clothes and resumed the surgery!
Wang Yong ran into the OR out of breath, wearing his shoes, with the head nurse of the OR shouting after him: “Which department are you from, who let you run in here with your shoes on!”
Wang Yong couldn’t be bothered with anything else; upon entering the OR, he saw Chen lying on the trolley!
Seeing this, Chen Cang turned and said: “Send him to the resuscitation room immediately, prepare Cerebrolysin and Dextrose, urgently check the complete blood count, and additionally, administer flunarizine orally…”
Wang Yong nodded, pushing Chen away.
And for Chen Cang, the most difficult part was yet to come!
Chen had left him quite a mess!
By now, the news of Chen’s collapse had spread through all the ORs, and many people came out to see what was happening, while doctors from other departments were about to enter the OR to look.
Seeing this, Chen Cang turned to the nurse and said: “Close the door, and let no one in!”
The nurse was slightly taken aback, but seeing Chen Gang’s serious expression, she nodded too.
Those outside squinted their eyes when they saw the door close.
The general surgery department was there too. Duan Bo had just completed his surgery and came out to hear about Chen’s fainting, only to find the door to the opposite OR already shut.
“Open the door!”
“Hurry up and open the door!”
At this moment, the head of the proctology department and Duan Bo from general surgery shouted at the nurse.
Chen Cang ignored them and calmly continued the operation!
Because of Chen Bingsheng’s recent faint, a major incident was nearly caused if others learned about it, Chen Bingsheng would be finished. Chen Cang had to complete the operation successfully and ensure no one found out.
It was an emergency!
If it fell into the hands of others, it would become fodder for gossip.
Chen Bingsheng is only forty, young and strong with a limitless future. If others got hold of this incident, he would be done for.
Chen Cang said to the nurse, “Just tell them Chen Bingsheng has already handed the operation over to me and that they shouldn’t worry!”
The nurse nodded and turned to the crowd, “Dr. Chen Bingsheng has already handed over the surgery to Dr. Chen Cang. Everyone, please do not disrupt the operation!”
Looking at the situation within the patient’s surgical field, Chen Cang took a deep breath!
Taking out the endoscope, he said to the nurse, “Hand me the scalpel, we’re converting to an open surgery!”
The patient had acute inflammation of the gallbladder with chronic atrophy.
The anatomy of Calot’s triangle was unclear, making it impossible to discern the relationship between the cystic duct and the common bile duct. The cystic duct opened into the right hepatic duct, with the opening in the left side of the common bile duct, with low confluence of the left and right hepatic ducts; the cystic duct was short and thick, conditions that during severe inflammation could easily lead to accidental injury of the common bile duct or right hepatic duct.
Even though Chen Bingsheng had tried his best when he fainted, the electrosurgical hook still accidentally damaged the bile duct!
Now they had no choice but to convert to open surgery!
After opening the abdomen, Chen Cang carefully dissected the normal bile duct above and below the injury plane.
Next, he had to perform an end-to-end anastomosis; the bile duct needed reconstruction.
Chen Cang said softly, “Number five Prolene suture.”
The nurse quickly nodded and handed it over!
Chen Cang stitched meticulously. He had to ensure the patient was without a single fault -not just for the patient’s sake, but also for Chen Bingsheng’s.
After the suturing was completed, he could then continue with the subsequent surgery.
Inside the operating room, the atmosphere was tense and solemn; nobody had their usual casualness and relaxation.
This was the most dreadful thing.
An operating room is a serious place, but once everyone becomes silent, it might mean that the operation is incredibly difficult and no one can be sure of its success.
Better to have a more relaxed atmosphere than that.
The sound of medical instruments beeped consistently.
Chen Cang finally completed the subsequent surgery!
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Nurse Cui Rongrong couldn’t help but ask, “Dr. Chen, is everything all right?”
Chen Cang paused. “All right? What do you mean?”
Cui Rongrong: “The surgery… just now, everything went okay?”
Chen Cang suddenly smiled. “Nothing at all. Chen Bingsheng already did most of the surgery. I simply finished up.”
The nurses were not familiar with the surgical process, and Chen Cang didn’t want too many people to know, so he simply told a lie..
