Capítulo 1400: 【1400】No success
Sssss, suddenly, everyone watching couldn’t help but take a breath.
The patient’s arm seemed to rotate slightly inward, as if you could hear the guidewire swiftly sliding into the subclavian artery, symbolizing that the high-risk and peculiar path in the patient’s upper limb was successfully navigated.
Internal rotation of the upper limb? Isn’t it supposed to be abducted?
The patient’s standard surgical position is usually with the upper limb abducted, allowing the doctor to navigate the guidewire from the axillary artery into the subclavian artery more easily.
The axillary artery is a continuation of the subclavian artery, renamed as the brachial artery when it descends to the arm. Its anatomical structure is complex, deeply embedded in the curved axilla, and its surface projection typically requires the upper limb to be abducted to a horizontal position. Moreover, it has numerous vascular branches, with varying branch counts. For doctors, the arm being abducted at this time helps straighten the axillary artery, allowing the guidewire to pass through.
Xie Wanying and her team did not completely retract the patient’s arm against the chest wall, only rotated it slightly inward. This peculiar method unexpectedly proved effective, indicating that this patient’s vascular path was quite unusual, and understanding it thoroughly from multiple angles might be necessary.
Doctor Fang realized at this moment; his brain wasn’t as quick as the two medical students. Even the most experienced doctors can only rely on their brains when encountering special cases. So, he told the two medical students, “Check the imaging, if there’s no issue, hand it back to us to continue.”
“Give it a rest.” Jin Tianyu said irritably, telling him not to be so shameless.
Doctor Fang didn’t mind, saying, “I don’t want them to stay here too long.”
The two juniors are very talented and should be cherished. They’re young and unmarried, they shouldn’t stay in the operating room too long. Now that the most challenging part is over, Doctor Fang should be able to take over from here.
“No need for the machine; they’re fine,” Jin Tianyu said. Remembering his junior sister’s promise, he’s willing to let them continue. It’s rare for interns to get such practical opportunities. At this time, the mentor can give them as much opportunity as possible.
The phone rang again.
Everyone watched as Fu Xinheng picked up the phone again, easily guessing who was calling.
On the other end of the line, Doctor Seo’s impatient voice asked, “Doctor Fu, how’s it going? Has the patient been transferred to the surgical room?”
“No, we’re doing PCI,” Fu Xinheng replied.
“Still doing it??” Doctor Seo asked twice in disbelief.
Fu Xinheng didn’t have time to explain as his eyes examined the two medical students who had halted their actions in the operating room.
The guidewire must have reached its final destination, the heart.
Xie Wanying held the guidewire steadily, not daring to let go easily, sweat layering her back.
Nervousness, along with her inexperience wearing a lead apron for the first time, made her unable to control the weight pressure properly.
During the time it took to advance the guidewire, it felt like she had run over twenty thousand meters on a race track, slightly exhausting.
Not far from her stood Pan Shihua, not much better off than her. His clean forehead exuded a faint, clear sweat, and his nostrils behind the surgical mask seemed to breathe lightly; mentally, he was more tense than her, like a taut string about to snap.
Unlike her, a famous academic star, he, an unremarkable intern, had never had such an opportunity to step onto the stage. His thinking wasn’t as quick as hers, so he could only follow her strategy. The time was short, demanding a timely response; he couldn’t afford to ponder over and make the right judgment before coordinating with her. Therefore, he wasn’t very confident in his operations, afraid he would follow her mistakes if she made any and twice as anxious about misinterpreting her intent and making the wrong moves himself.
