74: Something fell into my body? It's a dangerous rhythm!
Chapter 074: Something Left Inside the Body? A Deadly Situation!
[Tip: The patient's surgery must be completed within 3 hours to ensure the maximum survival rate of the reattached limb.]
[Tip: During debridement, pay attention to the removal of tiny glass fragments. If they enter blood vessels, they will cause serious harm.]
[Tip: Soft tissue management is paramount. Blood vessels, nerves, and tendons require good implantation conditions, which are key for postoperative recovery.]
[Tip...]
To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools!
After all preparations were complete and he stood at the main Surgeon's position.
Lin Yi did not rush to give instructions, but instead observed the patient's wound inch by inch with his eyes.
As his gaze moved, a series of system prompts appeared in his mind.
Only by thoroughly understanding the patient's current condition and identifying the key points could he make a more reasonable surgical arrangement...
"Lin Yi, how should we cooperate next?"
Seeing Lin Yi standing still, staring at the patient's affected area for a long time without moving, Lu Chenxi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
The exposed end of the patient's severed limb was densely packed with arteries, veins, nerves, tendons, and so on, making Lu Chenxi a little dizzy just looking at it.
Forget about her performing this Limb Replantation, she didn't even have the confidence to come up with a clear, reasonable surgical plan.
Setting aside the question of the survival rate after Limb Replantation.
Just to meticulously suture all the dazzling tissues one by one, Lu Chenxi estimated that if she were to do it herself, it would take at least a day and a night to complete the surgery...
"Teacher Lu, you and Director Zhong should first focus on debriding the wound on the left leg."
"Make sure to complete the debridement within 15 minutes. It is crucial to thoroughly debride the severed surface, as the Limb Replantation can only be done in one go."
"The clock starts now. The entire surgery must be completed within 3 hours..."
Lin Yi methodically issued a series of surgical instructions, following the optimized prompts given by the system.
Although his Suturing Technique and Limb Replantation Technique were both master-level system skills.
However, because the patient's injuries were too severe, the number of blood vessels, nerves, etc., that needed Suturing could only be described as massive.
Only by racing against time could he ensure the perfect Limb Replantation of both legs within the golden 3-hour window...
"One suture means an income of 100 yuan in cash and a 1-point increase in Suturing experience."
"For both legs combined, the areas that purely require Suturing are at least fifty to sixty places..."
High risk corresponds to high reward; this statement is absolutely true.
Compared to the immense pressure brought by the surgery itself, Lin Yi valued the huge benefits behind it more.
One surgery could bring in over five to six thousand in cash and also provide a massive amount of upgrade experience points.
If he could perform a few such surgeries every day, the time to cure his sister's dilated cardiomyopathy would not be far off...
"Completing the complete Limb Replantation of both legs within 3 hours?"
"Even with the simplest and roughest Suturing, if the three of us work together, we wouldn't be able to finish it in 3 hours!"
While Director Zhong resolutely carried out the debridement instructions, he couldn't help but ask in doubt.
Even if the three of them cooperated, they might roughly reattach the patient's legs within 3 hours.
But that would be meaningless!
Such a crude surgery could not guarantee the survival rate of the legs.
The patient would ultimately suffer again, having to undergo complete amputation of the necrotic legs.
Moreover, the possibility of life-threatening complications due to widespread infection would increase...
"I have my own considerations. The surgery time is 3 hours, not a minute more."
"Director Zhong, you should save your breath and try to speed up the debridement!"
Lin Yi retorted to Director Zhong indifferently.
Some things, unless seen with one's own eyes, cannot dispel others' ingrained mindsets.
Instead of wasting time explaining, it's better to let the results speak for themselves later...
"Hmph!"
"You brat..."
After muttering to himself, Zhong Xibei closed his mouth and sped up his debridement.
Since it had been decided that Lin Yi was the most authoritative Surgeon for this surgery.
If he, a self-proclaimed second assistant, kept babbling, wouldn't that be slapping his own face?
"The left leg debridement is complete, taking 10 minutes."
After confirming that the wound was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, Lu Chenxi and Zhong Xibei stepped back.
They waited for the main Surgeon's next instruction.
"Teacher Lu, assist me and ensure that the necessary Suturing tools are handed to me immediately."
"Director Zhong, continue with the debridement of the patient's right leg..."
Lin Yi stepped forward, giving the two no chance to question him, and immediately issued new instructions.
"Round needle, catgut..."
Arteries, veins, nerves, soft tissues... After receiving the instruments handed to him sequentially by Lu Chenxi, Lin Yi instantly focused intensely.
Following the optimized sequence prompted by the system, he entered the tense and orderly operational process of Suturing various tissues...
"Precise needle placement, steady insertion, rapid Suturing..."
"How did this guy's Suturing Technique get so much faster again?"
Lin Yi proceeded with the Suturing methodically. Lu Chenxi, who was assisting him, was shocked by the quality and speed of his work, yet found herself sweating profusely.
For each Suturing of blood vessels, nerves, tendons, etc., different instruments and materials had to be used in conjunction.
If it weren't for a few Nurses helping with threading the needles.
She, as an assisting first assistant, truly couldn't keep up with the main Surgeon's Suturing speed...
"Three hours?"
"This kid's Suturing alone can do the work of ten old guys like me."
"If he continues at this speed, completing the surgery within 3 hours is truly possible..."
Watching Lin Yi's hands move so fast they seemed to blur, Director Zhong was utterly impressed.
He had to admit that even after being a Surgeon his entire life, he had never seen such swift hand speed in any Expert Professor's surgery.
The most terrifying thing was!
Speed was just the most basic operation; the effect after Suturing was perfectly flawless.
If a Suturing competition were to be established in world medical competitions.
If Lin Yi represented the country, it would be unthinkable for him not to win one of the top three spots...
[Tip: Limb Replantation surgery successful. Patient's leg survival rate is 75%.]
When Lin Yi completed the last step, the Suturing of the patient's right leg's epidermal tissue.
The system prompt immediately appeared in his mind, announcing the complete success of this Limb Replantation surgery.
"Why is the survival rate only 75%? That shouldn't be!"
Lin Yi frowned, quickly replaying the entire surgical process in his mind, but he just couldn't figure out where the problem was.
According to the system's explanation, a master-level Limb Replantation Technique should have a success rate of at least 95% to be consideredPassed.
A 75% success rate clearly indicated a serious error somewhere...
"What's wrong, Lin Yi?"
"The patient's lower body blood vessels are patent, and the knee-jerk reflex is normal..."
"We should now declare the surgery successful and move the patient to the observation room to wait."
Lu Chenxi excitedly reminded Lin Yi.
Participating in such a historically significant surgery was the greatest fortune of her life.
"Yes, Lin Yi, you are the main Surgeon."
"The beautiful ending must also be announced by you!"
Zhong Xibei's old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.
The success of this Limb Replantation surgery already indicated that the Central Hospital Emergency Department had joined the ranks of first-class Emergency Departments nationwide.
"Immediately check the instruments and gauze."
"I suspect something was left inside the patient's wound."
Lin Yi suddenly roared, startling all the medical staff in the operating room, making them shiver.
Something being left inside the patient's body—this was a deadly situation...
