Chapter 198: Heart Surgery Begins, One Step Closer to Hope!

“Am I seeing things? The situation inside the patient’s chest cavity is exactly the same as when it was first opened!”

“The anastomosed ends of the artificial blood vessel have also been restored to their original state, with no trace of surgery visible!”

“In a chest cavity full of blood, can anyone truly perform vascular suturing in a completely blind state?”

“How did the patient’s blood vessels stop being fragile after Lin Yi took over? I really can’t figure it out…”

Whether it was the medical staff in the operating room or all the Expert Professors in the observation room, what puzzled everyone the most was this:

Throughout the entire surgery, all the doctors repeatedly emphasized that due to the patient’s age and various aspects of his condition, his blood vessels were already very fragile and could not withstand any strain.

That’s why, with no other options, they were forced to use an artificial blood vessel to give the patient a final glimmer of hope.

But now!

Everything that was considered certain had completely transformed into something unrecognizable in Lin Yi’s hands.

Such fragile blood vessels could not only undergo Barehand Hemostasis but also aortic suturing in a completely blind state.

It truly was incredibly unscientific… “What the f*ck!”

Bai Ji stretched his neck, looking at everything inside the patient’s chest cavity, and blurted out an expletive.

What he saw before him could no longer be explained by scientific language.

The problems that had given them such massive headaches could be solved by Lin Yi in less than two minutes. Who could he even complain to about this?… “The human tissues just removed are probably indeed the thrombi inside the patient’s artery!”

If Bai Ji was still a bit unconvinced before, wondering how Lin Yi could possess such high Thoracic Surgery skills, he was now completely certain.

Lin Yi had not only sutured the patient’s aorta but also, as an aside, cleared out the thrombi within the artery.

He just didn’t know how effective the cleaning was, and whether the patient’s coronary artery blockage was completely clear… “Can surgery even be done like this?”

“Is this still normal operation for a Thoracic Surgery Western Medicine Surgeon?…”

Zhuang Shu’s shocked expression was no better than Bai Ji’s.

He also stared at the state inside the patient’s chest cavity, dumbfounded and only mumbling to himself.

Just a few minutes ago, he was standing in the chief Surgeon’s position, performing bypass surgery on the patient’s extremely fragile coronary artery.

When it came to the situation inside the patient’s chest cavity, no one understood the current state of the internal blood vessels more deeply than him.

In Zhuang Shu’s view, directly operating on the patient’s blood vessels under such circumstances not only had no chance of success but could also directly cause the patient’s immediate death.

Who would have thought!

Two minutes! In just two minutes.

His proud field of Thoracic Surgery was utterly crushed, and a surgical scene he couldn’t even dream of appeared.

Barehand aortic hemostasis and aortic suturing in a completely blind state—any one of these would be a top-tier surgery capable of shocking the entire Thoracic Surgery medical community.

A Surgeon who could accomplish both simultaneously had reached an astonishing level of surgical skill… “Is that it…?”

Lu Chenxi, her eyes wide, could only sigh as the accumulated blood in the patient’s chest cavity gradually became fully visible with the rapid operation of the suction device, and she was at a loss for words to describe her feelings at that moment!

Performing so many complex surgical maneuvers in two minutes, and without any surgical field of vision—is this still a doctor? No! Is this even something a human can accomplish?

Even after witnessing countless of Lin Yi’s legends, Lu Chenxi still felt dazed by everything before her… She had always considered herself the future star of Thoracic Surgery, a leader among the younger generation.

Compared to Lin Yi, she was nothing… [Prompt: Patient’s coronary artery stenosis completely cleared. All extracorporeal circulation to be removed. Heartbeat to be actively restored.]

[Ding: Host completed 1 vascular suture. Reward: 100 yuan.]

[Ding: Host completed 1 Barehand Hemostasis. Reward: 100 yuan… ]

[Ding: Host completed one Heart Surgery assist. Heart Surgery skill unlocked. 90% experience points still needed to upgrade to Elite-level Heart Surgery.]

[Ding: Host completed one Heart Surgery. Reward: 100 yuan… ]

When the chest cavity’s accumulated blood was suctioned clean, and patient Wang Baoguo’s Heart was fully exposed in Lin Yi’s field of vision, a series of system reward prompts immediately appeared in his mind.

Lin Yi swore that this was the most wonderful system prompt he had heard since the system was activated.

If it weren’t for the obstruction of masks and other protective equipment, Lin Yi’s flushed face and heavy breathing from excitement would surely have scared Lu Chenxi beside him.

The fortuitous unlocking of Heart Surgery meant that treating his sister Lin Qian’s dilated cardiomyopathy was now immediately on the agenda.

Although Lin Yi wasn’t yet sure if the Heart Surgery skill, once upgraded to Perfect level, could completely cure his sister Lin Qian’s dilated cardiomyopathy.

But he could guarantee that this was the closest he had ever been to hope… “Lin Yi, next…”

Seeing Lin Yi’s shoulders twitching irregularly beside her, Lu Chenxi, unable to hold back her curiosity, finally spoke up to ask.

Suctioning had been complete for almost half a minute, and only about one minute remained until the golden four-minute window for cardiac resuscitation.

If the patient wasn’t given the next step of treatment soon, everything done so far would still be in vain… “Teacher Lu, listen to my command. Prepare for intracavitary compression for the patient.”

Prompted by Lu Chenxi, Lin Yi immediately suppressed his excitement and began to issue specific instructions.

“Tube removal Teacher, immediately remove all tubes for the patient’s extracorporeal circulation.”

“Understood, executing immediately!”

Upon hearing the command, the tube removal doctor did not hesitate for a moment, immediately following the order of the current chief Surgeon, Doctor Lin Yi, to remove all extracorporeal circulation tubes connected to the patient’s body at the fastest speed.

If this command had been given by Doctor Zhuang Shu earlier, the tube removal doctor might have hesitated and considered, as the responsibility for the perceived failure of the operation during the previous accident could very likely be linked to his actions.

But in a surgery where Doctor Lin Yi was the chief Surgeon, he simply would not have such concerns.

Not to mention that every surgery Lin Yi handled was known for its precise, zero-error reputation.

And from the time everyone had been cooperating with Lin Yi, he had never once attributed any unexpected incidents during surgery to the medical staff who were executing the chief Surgeon’s orders… “Teacher Lu, now! Begin intracavitary compression!”

20 seconds later, when all extracorporeal circulation tubes on the patient were cleanly removed, Lin Yi decisively issued the intracavitary compression instruction.

And he didn't even consider whether Lu Chenxi’s actions were standard or aligned with technical essentials.

A renowned Surgeon who came from Thoracic Surgery to the emergency department, if she couldn’t even perform basic intracavitary compression well, that would be a disservice to her chosen profession… “First intracavitary compression, execute immediately!”

Lu Chenxi extended her entire palm towards the patient’s Heart. Just as her palm began to cover the entire Heart, before she even had time to perform standard technical movements.

A sudden change occurred on the patient’s Heart, shocking her and making her break out in a cold sweat…
