Back to 1999: From operating surgeon to becoming a top doctor

"Will this work?"

The nurse was stunned. After all, medical materials are different from other industrial products.

To deal with patients, the first thing to solve is the sterility problem.

This makes many people discouraged.

What's more, thoracentesis itself is to enter the patient's body, which is an invasive operation. What if the items are not clean and cause internal organ infection?

This is a life-threatening matter.

Seeing that the nurse was still hesitating, Xia Tao, who was standing by, thought that this was feasible after hearing Xiao Chenguang's item requirements.

"Xiao Xiao, you want to use the one-way valve principle to make a few simple chest bottles for emergency use, right?"

Although Xia Tao has no experience in making chest bottles, he is still clear about the working principle of closed chest drainage.

"Yes, as long as the things are sterile, it is still okay to temporarily replace them for a few hours."

When Xiao Chenguang was invited to be the chairman of a conference abroad, he met a child who was hit by a billboard at the airport.

Sudden hemothorax, breathing difficulties, and the person was about to suffocate to death.

Xiao Chenguang saved the person by making a simple chest bottle on the spot.

At that time, the materials on hand were not as complete as they are now, so for him, such emergencies were not a concern at all.

Soon, all the things Xiao Chenguang wanted were found.

Glass bottles, infusion sets, scissors, tape...

Simple, most of them are daily necessities, the only difference is that these are sterile.

Looking at the items placed on the operating cart, the nurse was still a little worried.

But now she knew that if Xiao Chenguang did not use these things to make a simple chest bottle, the wounded in the emergency room would probably be suffocated to death.

"It must succeed."

Seeing the nurse's worried look, Xiao Chenguang began to assemble the chest bottle.

Spreading the sterile sheet, Xiao Chenguang tore open the packaging of all the items and placed them on the table.

Putting on gloves, picking up sterile scissors, cutting off the upper and lower needles of the infusion set, leaving only the area of ​​the Murphy dropper.

The drainage tube that was made was then folded in half by him, cut in the middle, and then picked up the tape next to it and began to wrap the two tubes together and fix them.

"Normal saline."

As the glass bottle was filled with saline, a mark was made on the reserved horizontal surface.

Xiao Chenguang put the wrapped infusion tube into the glass bottle filled with water.

The length of the two tubes was just kept at the upper and lower ends of the water surface.

Then, the bottle stopper sealed the mouth of the glass bottle and was wrapped with tape again to ensure the seal.

"Director Xia, help me disinfect the chest bottle again."

Xiao Chenguang quickly finished all this and shouted to Xia Tao beside him.

"Okay."

Even Xia Tao was a little unsure about whether this extremely simple chest bottle in front of him would work.

At this time, a firm voice came.

"Doctor Xiao, I have disinfected the patient's skin again, and it can be punctured and drained at any time."

As Xiao Chenguang's assistant, Lin Gaoyang was already preparing for the puncture and drainage of the wounded while the latter was making the chest bottle.

He quickly disinfected and prepared the puncture needle, and did not have any doubts about the problem of the chest bottle.

For him, every step of Xiao Chenguang was right.

No matter how simple the breast bottle in front of him is, as long as Xiao Chenguang says it's OK, it will definitely work.

"Okay, let's get started."

Xiao Chenguang glanced at Lin Gaoyang, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

He took off his gloves, threw them away, washed his hands and disinfected them again, and began to prepare for the final puncture.

At this moment, Dean Li came over.

"Xiao Xiao, don't worry about the operation. I have called the material supplier and limited them to deliver the breast bottle in half an hour."

After a short rest just now, Li Guoyong's eyes have returned to normal.

When he heard the news that the breast bottle was sold out, he called the supplier of the hospital as soon as possible.

Maybe his skills are not even qualified to be Xiao Chenguang's assistant.

But as the dean of Shengli Hospital, some things are still easy to solve if he comes forward.

For example, for this breast bottle, Li Guoyong personally called the supplier, who was still sleeping in a daze. When he saw the dean's phone call, he started to contact the manufacturer to deliver the goods without even getting dressed.

With Dean Li's guarantee, everyone's hanging hearts fell by half.

Half an hour later, even if the chest bottle made does not work, the patient may be able to hold on until the supplier delivers the goods.

In this way, the patient's life is saved.

Just when everyone was celebrating, Xiao Chenguang had already started the operation.

It was still precise positioning and puncture, and blood quickly flowed out.

Xiao Chenguang clamped the catheter with a vascular clamp, and then looked at Xia Tao.

"Director Xia, drainage bottle."

"Okay."

The sterilized chest bottle was brought over by Xia Tao.

"Connect now?"

Xia Tao held the chest bottle in his hand, but he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

If the chest bottle is not airtight, causing saline to flow back and pour into the patient's lungs...

If there are bacteria in the catheter, it will enter the chest cavity along the lumen, inflammation, high fever, infection...

If...

This feeling is like going back to the time when he just graduated and did an internship. For the uncertain things in front of him, he always likes to think in the worst direction.

"It's okay, just connect it."

Although Xia Tao was uneasy, Xiao Chenguang's expression did not change from beginning to end.

As the drainage tube was connected, the hemostatic forceps that Xiao Chenguang had been holding on the catheter began to loosen.

Everyone present held their breath, and no one dared to disturb Xiao Chenguang at this moment.

They stared at the chest bottle in front of them.

Some people even secretly pushed the rescue cart to the bedside of the injured.

In case the chest bottle does not work and the patient has a problem, they can also be rescued at the first time.

At this time, the whole rescue room was silent and you could hear a pin drop.

"Release."

Xiao Chenguang suddenly opened the hemostatic forceps in his hand.

The catheter connected to the patient's lungs began to collect blood and flow into the simple chest bottle.

In a moment, the saline in the glass bottle was dyed bright red.

At this time, everyone was still nervously watching the patient's drainage.

At this time, a tiny bubble began to drill into the chest bottle along the lumen.

It began to rise and fall with the water level, and then rose, gradually forming a bubble the size of a fingernail.

The bubble pushed out of the water surface due to the pressure, turned into a ripple, and spread around.

Snoring... Snoring...

A crisp bubble bursting sound rang in the quiet rescue room.

The gas in the patient's lungs, together with the effusion, was drained out of the body.

The symptoms of hemothorax were relieved instantly.

The patient's rapid breathing finally began to ease, and gradually, along with the painful expression, it also eased a lot.

"It really works!"

"Xiao Xiao, it's OK, you are so awesome!"

The nurse who had been closely observing the vital signs of the injured was as happy as a child.

And Xia Tao seemed even more excited.

"Quick, quick, follow Xiao Xiao's steps just now, make the other two chest bottles, and use them for the injured as soon as possible."

Seeing that the effect of the simple chest bottle was so good, it was almost no different from the chest closed drainage bottle purchased by the hospital.

At this moment, everyone's eyes lit up.

Soon, two more chest bottles were made.

With puncture and drainage, the chest bottle began to drain fluid and air in an orderly manner, and the acute condition of the last two seriously injured patients was also relieved.

Everyone looked around and looked at the peaceful patients around them, with a dull expression.

"End... is it over?"

The car accident patient who was extremely dangerous just now and almost made everyone collapse.

Now they are all safe and sound and receiving follow-up treatment.

"It's over."

As Xiao Chenguang finished speaking, the originally silent emergency room suddenly burst into warm cheers.

"Dr. Xiao, you are so amazing, you are simply the idol of our emergency department!"

"No, no, Dr. Xiao is not only the idol of your emergency department, he is the idol of everyone in our entire Shengli Hospital."

"I never thought that a few ordinary things would become the key to saving lives in the hands of Dr. Xiao."

"This ability is simply unbelievable!"

For a while, everyone was excited.

Some nurses even had red eyes and almost shed tears with excitement.

But among these people, the most excited one was Li Guoyong.

"Xiao Xiao, the emergency department was able to successfully complete the rescue mission this time, thanks to you."

He patted Xiao Chenguang's shoulder again and suddenly said: "By the way, Director Xiao, what do you think of the emergency department?"

As soon as these words came out, the cheers at the scene stopped abruptly.

The entire emergency room seemed to have been paused.

Everyone looked at Xiao Chenguang in unison, their hearts filled with shock.
