Chapter 715: We must hold on!

Logically speaking, the donor does not need to wait nearby at the same time.

Because the hematopoietic stem cells that needed to be collected have already been prepared.

They were mobilized into the peripheral blood several days in advance and had been collected over the course of several days.

The reason for having him wait was to prevent any unexpected situations during the surgery, though everyone hoped such extreme cases would not occur.

Leaving that aside for now, Zheng Qian's expression remained very grave.

In fact, a bone marrow transplant surgery does not require an incision.

Normally, there would be no need to arrange such a massive display; even Tiantian's parents were very confused.

"Wasn't it just like what the doctor said before—just infusing a bag of red 'stuff' into Tiantian's body?"

If it were a normal situation, that is indeed how it should be, without such complicated procedures.

However, Zheng Qian's team noticed a small detail.

He prayed that this was not true.

The surgery was proceeding methodically, and everything was going very smoothly.

From the initial anxiety, everyone slowly let go of their original tension, and seeing the surgery nearing its conclusion, many people were very excited.

"President Zhou, how is the situation now?"

Ran Gaolan did not dare to ask Zheng Qian, who was sitting in the first row, so he asked the hospital president beside him in a low voice.

Zhou Yueqin was the president of this hospital; he was once the vice president of a provincial people's hospital and had been headhunted by the Ran Family to hold down the fort here.

His own field of expertise was cardiac surgery, and he could be considered a famous doctor at the provincial level, so being a hospital president was not a problem for him.

However, sitting among such a group of people, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly and could only sit at the very back.

Those in front were either famous doctors from Shanghu or big shots in the scientific research field.

Zheng Qian sat at the very front of them, yet he did not look out of place.

"It seems to be going quite smoothly, it's just... I don't know what President Zheng has been so nervous about," Zhou Yueqin glanced at Zheng Qian, who was sitting with his arms crossed, and said suspiciously.

"Just before the surgery started, President Zheng asked me to prepare a lot of seemingly unnecessary things."

Seemingly, unnecessary things?

Ran Gaolan frowned.

Suddenly having a bad premonition, he hurriedly asked, "What did he ask you to prepare?"

"Just some polarization solutions, as well as an ECMO machine, contrast agents, and the like..."

Knowing that Ran Gaolan wouldn't understand, President Zhou quickly explained, "These are actually things that are not easily encountered in normal surgeries—I mean, surgeries of this type.

Things like ECMO and contrast agents are generally only used when a patient has a sudden heart attack or cannot breathe.

Although it is possible for a child like Tiantian to have a heart attack, the probability is extremely small; it usually happens in adults."

In fact, there was one more thing Zhou Yueqin didn't say: these big shots had all seen Tiantian's medical examination reports.

Every single vital sign was in the state of a very normal leukemia patient.

There were no special circumstances; everything was very stable.

Just like that, the surgery had unknowingly been going on for over an hour and was basically nearing its end.

"I really didn't expect this [Hua Tuo Model] to be so magical.

I could tell from the moment it started the anesthesia; it's truly very professional.

It must have referenced the surgical records and guidelines of many famous doctors around the world."

Sun Zhongming leaned in to observe and exclaimed sincerely.

Professor Chang laughed and said in a low voice, "Actually, you came too late.

Two days ago, we observed the post-operative suturing of a surgery—tsk tsk tsk, that was truly spectacular!

I couldn't even tell what school of technique it belonged to at the time; it was very fast and extremely meticulous."

"This is truly something that only a machine could do; even after the patient woke up, it wasn't easy to find the incision!"

Sun Zhongming frowned tightly and looked at Professor Chang suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it was true.

Director Fang from the Affiliated Hospital of Shanghu Changshan quickly added, "It's true.

It seems that before making the incision, this model had already planned how to finish and suture.

The opening was extremely small, and the suturing was quite aesthetic.

Of course, that was a minor surgery for cholecystitis; if it were some major surgeries, it would be impossible to completely hide the incision."

"Take me to see the recording of that surgery in a while."

Sun Zhongming nodded.

The conversation in the operating room also reached the ears of the people outside.

Those who had not seen the Hua Tuo Model perform surgery couldn't help but become curious and asked to see the recordings after the surgery.

Could a machine really be more skillful than human hands?

They had all dabbled with things like the da Vinci surgical robot and knew that this stuff was very precise, but still not as easy to use as a human hand.

Watching time slip away minute by minute, everyone's originally anxious hearts slowly relaxed.

But the members of Zheng Qian's team were all on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Professor Zheng, we really have to congratulate you in advance.

To be honest, although bone marrow transplant surgery is not as complex as liver transplants, heart bypasses, valve replacements, or cranial nerve surgeries, it is still very difficult."

"If possible, I hope we can have an in-depth discussion after the surgery to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation."

A Middle-aged Man beside Zheng Qian suddenly said with emotion in a low voice.

This person was another vice president of the Affiliated Hospital of Shanghu Changshan and also served as the head director of liver transplants.

Obviously, he had taken a fancy to the potential of the Hua Tuo Model, not to mention whether he really wanted to introduce it into the hospital's surgical treatments.

Just being able to participate in this project was something very exciting in itself.

Zheng Qian understood his subtext; of course, he would not reject such cooperation.

However, he had no mood for it right now.

At the very least, he had to wait until this surgery was completely and perfectly concluded.

"Professor Ji, do you think... is there a possibility that our model might make a mistake?"

Not far away, Professor Qian Chen couldn't help but pull Professor Ji Muxi aside and whispered, "I see that the surgery is going very smoothly right now, even if something really does happen... it shouldn't be at this time, right?

If there is a misjudgment this time, will it affect our final experimental data?"

Professor Ji Muxi frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"You are right, of course it would affect it, but..."

Before Professor Ji Muxi could finish, everyone was suddenly terrified!

The first to react was Sun Zhongming!

"Oh no, the little girl's body is having issues! Her blood pressure is so low, and her heart rate has become irregular!"

"Professor Zheng, there's a special situation during the surgery.

Should we take emergency measures?"

Hearing Sun Zhongming say this, Professor Chang had already subconsciously reached out to press the emergency stop device to pause the machine.

Zheng Qian's heart tightened.

Seeming to have made a decision, he gritted his teeth, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Don't panic! Absolutely do not panic!

You two, please stay calm.

When our [Hua Tuo Model] was performing a full-body examination on Tiantian, it discovered the possibility of an unexpected situation!

The program has already started running; you two... don't move for now, just wait and see!"

Huh? An emergency situation during surgery?

And the Hua Tuo Model actually checked it out in advance?

What's going on?

Everyone looked at each other.

They had almost memorized all the parameters of Tiantian's physical examination and hadn't found any problems anywhere!

But since Zheng Qian said so, it proved that there was indeed such a possibility!

He hurriedly said, "Quick, go have the nurse find Tiantian's parents, who are watching the live broadcast in the next room, and have them sign the informed consent form!"

Zhou Yueqin was startled and hurriedly ran out to make arrangements.

Tiantian's heart rate was only 40 beats per minute, her blood pressure had dropped to 75/45 mmHg, her face was swollen, her limbs were cold, and she was in circulatory failure...

Seeing this reaction, Sun Zhongming seemed to think of something.

Coupled with seeing the two robotic arms already starting to prepare the medication mixture.

Especially when he saw vasoactive drugs and polarization solutions.

"An allergic reaction!? A very rare, intraoperative immediate allergic reaction!"

Sun Zhongming almost blurted it out.

He looked at the operating robotic arms in disbelief, couldn't help but step back a few times, and shook his head repeatedly.

He kept muttering to himself, "No... impossible, impossible... how could it even predict this kind of immediate allergic reaction in advance?

The allergens had clearly been checked before the surgery... This, this Hua Tuo Model, I..."

"President Sun, should we do something..."

"No, we don't need to do anything."

The few famous doctors in the operating room felt the impact much more intensely than those watching the live broadcast.

It was so shocking!

The originally cold, seemingly emotionless robotic arms suddenly seemed to possess human emotions.

They were operating desperately, and every action they made was incredibly correct!

As precise as a textbook!

Zheng Qian was even more nervous at this moment.

On the surface, he was as steady as a rock, but underneath, he was gripping Professor Ji Muxi's hand tightly, his palms full of sweat!

Professor Ji Muxi was also very nervous and excited!

Her eyes were glistening with crystal-clear tears!

Tiantian!

You must hold on!
