Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 737: Surgery that’s more tense than usual

Once the assistant had prepared items such as the tracheal intubation set, he adeptly pushed the propofol quietly into Student Zhao’s vein.

What’s happening, my eyelids are drooping. Zhao Zhaowei was scared and puckered his lips with force, muttering, "Which bastard gave me anesthesia when I wasn’t paying attention?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Short-acting anesthesia acts very quickly, and in just a few seconds, the patient’s eyelids closed.

To prevent the patient from aspirating after becoming unconscious, intubation had to be performed as swiftly as possible. Zhang Tinghai put down the syringe and walked briskly to the head of the operating table, took a seat on the prepared chair, whizzed on the gloves, and began the procedure.

The assistant handed him the laryngoscope, and with practiced speed that seemed to fly, he pressed on the patient’s forehead to tilt the head back, pried open the patient’s mouth, and inserted the laryngoscope. Aligning it with the mirror of the laryngoscope, his sharp eyes scanned the patient’s glottal anatomy through his glasses. His right hand then received the tracheal tube passed by the assistant.

Following that, the tracheal tube with a certain curvature entered the patient’s mouth at a comfortable angle and smoothly passed through the vocal cords, ultimately being placed inside the trachea.

The entire process of inserting the tube into the trachea was as smooth as a loach slipping into the sea without any obstruction. The anesthesiologist’s operation was swift and smooth, truly a standard demonstration by a technical boss. Everyone could only sigh inwardly: utterly dazzling.

Zhang Tinghai, this guy, sometimes speaks bluntly, easily provoking others and leading to arguments, which is why people generally don’t like him. But his skills are unquestionably top-notch.

Surgeons have a love-hate relationship with such anesthetists. Of course, there’s an exception here.

After finishing with the patient, Zhang Tinghai glanced back at Xie Wanying, confirming what he had anticipated: he saw Xie Wanying’s eyes shining brightly, having memorized his every move secretly in her mind.

Now that the patient was anesthetized, it was time for the surgeons to take the stage.

He Guangyou and He Jiuliang, serving as assistants, first scrubbed up and came in to disinfect the surgical area of the patient’s skin before laying the drapes.

Meanwhile, Tao Zhijie donned the surgical gown, for a major surgery he would definitely be the chief surgeon. Several resident doctors and Song Xueling stood by, ready to assist. Xie Wanying and Yue Wentong stealthily stood in the corner, hoping to stay and watch their classmate’s surgery as long as the chief surgeon did not call them away.

Sitting on a stool to record the anesthesia data, Zhang Tinghai swept a glance at Cao Yong standing at the head of the operating table and thought: Is this person actually not leaving? And, Tao Zhijie didn’t ask him to leave either?

Cao Yong’s expression appeared more silent at the moment the surgery began.

The surgery started.

"Scalpel," Tao Zhijie issued his first surgical command.

The instrument nurse, breathing slightly harder, passed him the scalpel with a bit of nervousness, perhaps sensing that his demeanor today was different from usual.

Under the shadowless lamp, the sharp tip of the scalpel swept across the patient’s abdomen, droplets of blood emerged, and swabs pressed down to control the bleeding.

The actions of the chief surgeon and the assistants were exceedingly fast and decisive, which was strikingly different from the operating style of this surgical team in the past. Those familiar with them were all quite surprised.

Thump, thump, thump, the hearts of the other people and the instrument nurse became somewhat frantic. The chief surgeon’s different attitude signaled that today’s procedure might be fraught with difficulties.

An emergency exploratory surgery, not a pre-planned and scheduled operation, occurred beyond the doctors’ expectations and created an atmosphere more tense than usual. Thus, when suddenly from outside the operating room came a voice: "Dr. Tao."

The tense atmosphere within the operating room almost stretched into a straight line.
