Chapter 372 The Operation is Over
Gong Rui truthfully explained the advantages and disadvantages of the two artificial hearts, which is something that Gong Rui, as a doctor, must tell the patients and their families.
Ultimately, all choices need to be decided by the patient or his/her family.
Otherwise, if any unexpected situation occurs, the hospital will bear important responsibilities.
"I believe in...Xu You's design, and I also believe in Professor Gong Rui's medical skills...I am willing to be the first clinical case of this new artificial heart..."
Wang Xiangwu struggled and expressed his choice.
Even though Wang Xiangwu was in very weak condition, he still maintained a smiling expression while saying these words.
Wang Xiangwu has always given full trust to Xu You, his former favorite disciple.
Wang Xiangwu recalled the scene of his first communication with Xu You.
At that time, Xu You, as a high school student, solved a scientific research problem that he created himself.
It took their scientific research team a lot of effort to solve this difficult problem.
However, Xu You solved this difficult problem before he officially became a student of Jilin University.
This is a task that all other physics students at Ji University have not completed.
From that time on, Wang Xiangwu knew that Xu You was definitely a pillar of China.
Just as Wang Xiangwu expected, Xu You continued to make breakthroughs in scientific research and became a world-class scientist.
Thinking back on this journey, Wang Xiangwu still feels a sense of accomplishment.
If it weren’t for Wang Xiangwu’s keen eye for talent, he would have brought Xu You onto the path of scientific research so early.
Not to mention that Xu You would definitely not have achieved the current achievements, but at least his pace would have slowed down a lot.
"I also believe in Professor Xu and Professor Gong. If there is a better artificial heart, even if it has not been thoroughly tested, we are willing to give it a try."
Wang Xiangwu is not yet sixty years old. His son does not want Wang Xiangwu to spend the last stage of his life in pain.
As long as there is a chance, he would like to try to help his father return to normal life.
Wang Xiangwu's lover also supports Wang Xiangwu's decision.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, just sign it. We plan to perform the artificial heart implant surgery the day after tomorrow."
As the family members completed their signatures, the surgical plan was officially confirmed.
In fact, at this time, Gong Rui had some concerns in his heart.
He was worried about Wang Xiangwu's family, but in his heart he didn't really support this choice.
After all, Wang Xiangwu was the first clinical case to receive this new artificial heart, and the risks were self-evident.
Compared with previous artificial hearts, this artificial heart also saves many necessary steps in the research and development process.
This, to a certain extent, increases the risk of this operation.
But judging from what Wang Xiangwu said, his trust in Xu You really reached a very high level.
Even if the operation fails, Wang Xiangwu will not have any regrets.
In any case, in the end, Wang Xiangwu and his family readily accepted this choice.
The next thing to do is to do our best to complete the artificial heart implantation surgery.
On the day of the operation, Xu You turned down all his work and went outside the operating room to wait.
In addition to Xu You, Zhao Weijia and other teachers and students from the quantum physics laboratory also came out of the operating room.
As the operating room door closed, the status "In Surgery" was displayed on it.
Outside the operating room, everyone was silent, quietly waiting for the results of the operation.
In this state, Xu You was unable to carry out any research work and could only pace outside the operating room.
This was one of the rare times that Xu You felt so anxious.
Xu You knew that this operation was extremely dangerous.
The research work on this new artificial heart was very rushed in terms of process.
If any accident really happened, not to mention whether Wang Xiangwu and Wang Xiangwu's family would blame him in their hearts, Xu You himself would feel very sorry.
But no matter what the result is, Xu You will not regret this decision.
Xu You has the obligation and ability to help Wang Xiangwu .
If Xu You really stood idly by, it would be something that Xu You would regret for the rest of his life.
Before I knew it, one hour, two hours, three hours...
It was not until the sixth hour after the operation began that the door of the operating room was finally opened.
"Professor Gong, what's going on?"
Gong Rui and the other doctors all looked tired. Just from their expressions, it was impossible to tell whether the operation was successful or not.
"So far, the operation has been successful, and Professor Wang's physiological indicators are all normal. However, because the operation has just been completed, continued observation is needed. The next 48 hours will be very important."
Because of the effect of the anesthetic, Wang Xiangwu was still in a coma at this time.
After the operation, Wang Xiangwu was immediately pushed back to the ICU and entered the postoperative care stage.
Doctors and nurses continued to observe Wang Xiangwu's various physiological indicators and the condition of the artificial heart.
Among these, a very important monitoring data is the patient's hemodynamic changes.
The nurse in charge of postoperative care provided Wang Xiangwu with ECG monitoring, invasive arterial blood pressure, and floating catheter monitoring.
We also paid close attention to Wang Xiangwu's vital signs and blood gas changes, and adjusted the stability of atrial blood volume in a timely manner based on hemodynamic indicators.
After the anesthesia period is over.
Wang Xiangwu finally woke up.
After having a completely different artificial heart replaced, Wang Xiangwu was not able to adapt well at first .
But when Wang Xiangwu felt the powerful power of this artificial heart.
Wang Xiangwu felt as if he had been reborn.
After constant adaptation, Wang Xiangwu has come to like this feeling.
As time passed, Wang Xiangwu's complexion gradually improved and he had the strength to speak again.
"I feel like I'm alive again. My heart is so full of strength now."
Now Wang Xiangwu no longer speaks with the weakness he had before, and his appetite and food intake have increased.
"Through testing of Professor Wang's heart power, oxygen pulse, heart blood intake, oxygen uptake and other data, Professor Wang's current level has reached the level of normal people of the same age. It can be said that Professor Wang is already a healthy person."
Once Wang Xiangwu's condition continues to stabilize, he will no longer need to stay in the hospital for observation.
At this time, Wang Xiangwu looked at Xu You, his eyes full of emotion.
