Chapter 469: All Thanks to Su Yun

The blood bags in the pressurized blood transfusion device deflated one by one.

Zheng Ren slowed down them. After the abdominal cavity was rinsed, he repeatedly looked for any bleeding spots in the abdominal cavity.

The blood-seeping capillary network was burned with electricity, waiting for Su Yun to finish.

After closing the chest, Su Yun handed the job in the chest department to Cao Guozhen. He raised his hand to avoid contamination as he came to Zheng Ren’s side.

“You go ahead,” Su Yun said.

Zheng Ren nodded and turned to leave the surgeon position. He asked Xie Yiren for a bent plate and oval forceps. The bent plate was filled with sterile gauze. The circulating nurse took out a bottle of iodophor and poured it into the contaminated bucket. Then, she poured more than half the bottle of iodophor into the bent plate.

Zheng Ren soaked the gauze in iodophor and came to Lin Haibo’s side.

“You can let go now,” Zheng Ren said. “Help me lift up the sheet.”

Lin Haibo heaved a sigh of relief. He took off the sterile gauze and threw it into the contaminated bucket. Then, he folded the sterile sheet up again.

The sheet needed to be re-laid here, so he was not afraid of some contamination.

Zheng Ren began to disinfect the patient, especially near the wound. It was difficult to look straight at the obstruction of the buttock muscles. He also used oval pliers to stuff the gauze soaked in iodophor into it and wiped it repeatedly.

The patient’s blood pressure was still stable. The arterial pressure had never been lower than 60 millimeters of mercury.

For such a serious injury, it was already extremely good.

With the infusion of fresh frozen red blood cells, the patient’s blood pressure would further increase.

After disinfecting, he began to lay out the sheet.

The position was very awkward. Su Yun frowned and said, “Are you moving to my side again?”

“No need. Move to my side. Your side is more troublesome,” Zheng Ren said.

The entrance of the steel bar near the patient’s anus needed to be sutured, while the abdominal cavity could not be closed. After all, the wound had to be explored. If the exploration caused bleeding, it could be remedied at the abdominal cavity.

Therefore, Zheng Ren’s angle was extremely limited.

However, this was not a problem for Zheng Ren. After disinfecting and laying a sterile sheet, he took off his gloves and surgical gown, washed his hands again, and put on his clothes.

Although it was a contaminated wound, it was still necessary to try to avoid secondary contamination.

The large hemostatic forceps probed into the wounds near the buttocks and anus. There were no other injuries at the end of the rectum. Su Yun also did the same on his side.

Everyone let out a long breath. The operation was finally coming to an end.

The most worrying thing was that the end of the rectum was torn by the steel bar. Part of the rectum needed to be removed to make a fistula. Therefore, second-stage anastomosis would be done.

If that was the case, it would be equivalent to another radical operation for rectal cancer, causing the rectum to collapse.

This was also why Zheng Ren asked Lin Haibo to pull out the steel bars as quickly as possible.

The slower the speed, the more serious the damage to the rectum, and the greater the possibility of resection.

Of course, all of this was rooted in Zheng Ren’s fast surgical technique. If he did not have the confidence to quickly stop the bleeding in the abdominal cavity, he could only choose the latter.

Zheng Ren sutured the wound very quickly. Because the wound was very deep, Zheng Ren tried his best to suture it as best as he could.

After this was done, the patient was changed to another position. Su Yun and Yang Lei began to close the abdomen.

Zheng Ren did not scrub his hands or go on stage. Instead, he took off his sterile gloves and helped Chu Yanzhi and the circulating nurse warm up the red blood cells and plasma.

It was time to apply for a machine to automatically warm up the red blood cells. Zheng Ren secretly noted this down and prepared to find time to talk to Chief Pan about this.

“Chief Zheng, when I was taking the blood, I saw Chief Pan and the patient’s parents outside,” Chu Yanzhi said.

After the operation was over, the atmosphere in the operating theater relaxed.

Regardless of what happened after the operation, at least the patient would be able to leave the stage alive. This was a victory.

“Alright,” Zheng Ren answered absentmindedly.

Chu Yanzhi seemed to not feel anything and continued, “I saw his mother lying on the chair, unable to sit still. His father was squatting on the ground crying. He was a grown man, crying like a baby. It was really tragic.”

“I expected as much.” Zheng Ren shook his head.

“It’s said that this child was in his third year at Key Middle School in the city. The last time he checked, he was ranked second in the whole grade.”

“That’s not bad. Why did he jump off the building though?” After wrapping up the incision on his chest, Cao Guozhen took off his sterile gloves and left the stage.

“Second in the eyes of others looks good. However, this child did not think so. Without being in first place, he was upset and jumped off the building today.” Chu Yanzhi also found this unbelievable.

When everyone was in school, they were basically straight-A students.

However, even Su Yun was not this extreme.

After all, at least 20 people were admitted to Key High School in Sea City every year. Second place in the exam meant that one could enter Qingbei, so what was there to be unhappy about?

“He’s too ambitious. That isn’t a good thing.” Cao Guozhen sighed.

“I hope this time, he won’t seek death,” Chu Yanzhi said. “This year, he might not have the chance to take the college entrance exam... Chief Zheng, he’ll live, right?”

As she said this, Chu Yanzhi realized that the patient’s life expectancy was still unknown. Thinking about the college entrance exam was something to ponder on after this was over.

“It should be possible.” Zheng Ren’s hands were already cold. He put the blood bag in his arms to speed up the heating process. “Su Yun, what do you think?”

“There’s a high probability.” Su Yun’s standards in intensive care were higher than Zheng Ren’s. He said, “The surgery was done quickly and without any sloppiness. The damage was also minimized. After the surgery, the aftercare will be relatively easier.”

“How many days do you think you’ll be in the ICU?” Zheng Ren asked.

“Two days is enough.” Su Yun was full of confidence. Although he did not dare to say these words to the patient’s family as it would not be easy to explain if anything happened, it did not matter if he bragged in the operating theater.

“Tomorrow, I’ll do an interventional embolization of the prostate. It might take quite some time. If you can come down, you can watch the emergency room for a while.” Zheng Ren did not think that he was bragging as he continued to speak.

“Boss, you don’t have to order people around like that!” Su Yun retorted.

“Tomorrow, I’ll teach the professor how to do a prostate embolism surgery, so it’ll take a longer time. But don’t worry, it shouldn’t be too long. At most, it’ll take two to three hours,” Zheng Ren said.

“Huh?” Su Yun understood what Zheng Ren was trying to say. “You mean you can do it now and solve it in an hour?”

“More or less.” Zheng Ren’s expression was blank. He took the blood out of his pocket and handed it to the circulating nurse.

Su Yun began to be silent. He quietly sutured and closed the abdomen.

Little stars twinkled in Xie Yiren’s eyes. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Zheng Ren’s back.

“Chief Zheng, you’re getting busier and busier. The surgeries are getting better and better,” Chu Yanran suddenly said.

“It’s all thanks to Su Yun, ” Zheng Ren said frankly.

“Oh? He even taught you surgery?” Chu Yanran was stunned.

“No.” Zheng Ren said, “In a few days, I may have to go to The First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University for surgery. With Su Yun watching over, I’ll be more at ease.”

Su Yun was speechless.
