My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 918: Chapter 364: Meritocracy—Will Success Slip Away at the Last Moment? (Part 3)

Compared to the second and third assistant, the first assistant is more akin to obtaining favor by proximity, resulting in greater gains.

The surgical admission rules clearly state that one must undertake the role of first assistant in level three and four surgeries for it to count as experience.

“Xiao Zhou, stop dawdling and quickly get up there to help with hemostasis! Remember, during the operation, those who are capable should step up without hesitation or courtesy. Our task is to ensure the surgery is completed smoothly and safely.”

Director Hu Kan began reprimanding.

Without any more delay, Zhou Can decisively moved to the first assistant’s position, replacing Director Le.

His Hemostasis Skill is currently at level five, not a bit inferior to Director Le’s.

In fact, the vast majority of young chief surgeons may not have all their surgical skills at the level of a chief surgeon, with perhaps only one or two main surgical skills reaching that level.

Director Le and Director Xue Yan are both very young chief surgeons.

In a provincial top-tier hospital like Tu Ya, a chief surgeon in their forties could certainly be considered youthful.

Even those who are forty-eight or fifty and fortunately promoted to chief surgeon still see themselves as young.

After Zhou Can took over as the first assistant, hemostasis became much more efficient.

Electrocautery hemostasis need not be mentioned, his speed is almost unmatched. The crucial point is that he’s also exceptionally quick in ligating some of the larger blood vessels.

In just a moment, the bleeding from the heart was completely stopped.

Once the accumulated blood was drained, the next step of the surgery could begin.

“Xue Yan, first inspect the tricuspid valve and its subvalvular structure!”

Director Hu Kan issued instructions again.

Every step has a profound purpose.

“Instructor, I have already examined the tricuspid valve and its subvalvular structure!”

Director Xue reported.

Thanks to the excellent first assistant’s vantage point, Zhou Can also saw everything clearly.

“Okay, let’s proceed with the Ventricular Folding Surgery!”

Director Hu Kan nodded slightly, beginning to guide her to continue with the surgery.

…

More than two hours later, the surgery was nearly completed.

“Instructor, what should we do next?”

Director Xue Yan became more nervous as the procedure neared its end.

Afraid of making mistakes.

“First, water test the opening and closing function of the tricuspid valve!”

Director Hu Kan was constantly overseeing and commanding, maintaining control over the entire surgical process.

“If during the water test, a few small holes are found in the anterior leaflet, they can be sutured with 5-0 polypropylene. At this point, vent the left heart chamber and open the aortic clamp. Observe under cardiac motion that the tricuspid valve functions well with no insufficiency, then suture the incision in the right atrium.”

These advanced practical surgical knowledge, Zhou Can memorized thoroughly.

After restoring the heart’s beat, it initially was quite normal, but after less than five seconds, the heartbeat suddenly exceeded normal speed, becoming extremely rapid.

This phenomenon of ventricular tachycardia is very serious in consequence.

Zhou Can’s uncle suffered from ventricular tachycardia.

It can lead to arrhythmia.

“What’s happening? Could the surgery have failed?”

Everyone was stunned.

Many of them were participating in this type of Ventricular Folding Surgery for the first time.

Their clinical experience was pitifully lacking.

“Don’t panic, if we find the cause and correct it, we can ensure the success of this surgery.”

At this crucial moment, encountering irregularities gave everyone a sense of near failure.

Director Hu Kan strove to stabilize the situation.

From his actions, it was evident that this was probably his first encounter with such a situation as well.
