Chapter 17 Surgery 2
Xia Wuqi outside the capsule felt that everything was unreal. Dr. Baidi in the capsule looked at his extremely neat movements, and while silently chanting Asclepius, he restrained his trembling body and tried his best not to faint on the spot. Point Even so, he still had a veritable and extremely terrifying question in his heart: How many living people have this Dr. Chuni opened the chest of the dead? Why is his movements and expression so skillful and calm?
The more I thought about it, the more terrifying the more I felt, and it was not until I suddenly asked him to hold the patient's body that he came back to his senses. At this time, the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial fascia above the sternum had been cut open, and suddenly, burned red iron at the tiny blood vessels that were bleeding one by one to stop the bleeding. Theofrastus had also used this method of stopping bleeding, but had never been used in such a surgery.
After the hemostatic, the flesh was wrapped in silk thread. When the skin was turned on, the skin was covered with red and white sternum periosteum below. Just like the butcher Ding cut the cow, the sternum did not directly split the sternum like Theofrastus guessed. He first separated the sternum periosteum attached to the sternum and the sternum below with his fingers, and cut this periosteum from the incision from the bottom to the top, and cut it all the way to the clavicle ligament to the outer tracheal fascia at the top of the sternum. Then the sharp blade went down and cut the lower half of the periosteum from the initial lower knife to reveal the xiphoid process at the bottom of the sternum.
The xiphoid process is a piece of cartilage. After suddenly cutting the xiphoid process with a cleavage process neatly, the operation came to an end. The next step is to split the open sternum with his sternum and open the entire chest cavity. Taking advantage of the gap between the operation, the doctor wiped his sweat and Theofrastus. Turning his head, he suddenly reminded him through the mask: "Blow." At the same time, he looked at the four strong soldiers who had already turned white on their faces who had seen all this and said, "Stop it!"
Opening the chest cavity will inevitably lead to a loss of pressure. Only by artificially creating low pressure can the lungs breathe passively and the patient will not die of hypoxia. Splitting the sternum does not mean cutting the sternum, which is to split the entire sternum in half like chopping wood. This pain is not something that ordinary people can tolerate, nor can it be resisted by anesthesia of the rich anesthesia. Before the appearance of ether and oxygen imitation in the 19th century, there was no general anesthetic in medicine. It was possible to rely on four strong soldiers to hold the patient tightly, so that the sternum can be split and the chest cavity can be opened.
According to previous experience, it is very important to hold the patient down. The sternum must be split evenly. Only after closing can the sternum be healed flat. If the sternum is slanted and skewed, it will be difficult to flatten after closing. Opening the chest is not just the method of splitting the sternum, but in order to find blood vessels and foreign objects that are bleeding in the chest cavity, the best way to view can be chosen.
After suddenly instructing him to continue to perform the surgery, he first pushed the mediastinal pleura with his hand, and then picked up the sternum to split the sternum. This is a sharp weapon like a crutch, of course, the proportion is smaller than the crutch. Its principle is similar to a stapler. The staple mouth is up and down and presses it down hard. With a "click", the staple will be placed flat by the pallet below the paper. The same is true for the sternum splitting. The lower pallet is pressed against the handle of the cane above it. Each time it is hit, the blade will be chopped down on the sternum until the blade is pressed by the pallet below the sternum.
When biting the sternum into the blade from the cut xiphoid process, I suddenly looked at Xiong Jing with a belt and the four soldiers holding Xiong Jing. The artifacts were as terrifying as the slaughterhouse. Fortunately, these were all soldiers who had killed people. They were just a little discomfort and their bodies did not tremble as uncontrollably as Theofrastus.
Chu subconsciously nodded to the four soldiers, and his right hand hit the handle of the knife. With a "click", the bottom sternum was split in half. Xiong Jing's body twitched in a reflex manner. Chu didn't care about Xiong Jing's reaction. He even forgot that the target of the shooting was Da Ao, and he thought that this was an ordinary Chu army soldier. The knife continued to push into the chest cavity. His right hand continued to sink and hit the handle of the blade. The blade pressed down and split a sternum again.
"Ah..." Xiong Jing was awakened by severe pain this time. He felt something was gnawing at him, and his bones were bitten off one by one. Suddenly, he heard Xiong Jing's voice, and he just shouted "Stop it", without stopping in his hand, and continued to sank the handle.
"Ah!" Xiong Jing woke up completely in pain, and there was no dizziness or illusion caused by the sternum of the rich sap. He felt that he was tied to the operating table, and Feng Li was using the sternum he invented to slash his sternum. He struggled hard, and then the belt firmly bound him. The four Bai Di soldiers pressed him tightly, making him unable to move.
‘Crack’, another piece of sternum was slit hard. Before the next severe pain came, Xiong Jing, who was struggling, couldn't help but curse: "Xingli, Qingli! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you..."
Xiong Jing was extremely strong. Although he was bound by a belt, he was still held down by four thick Bai Di soldiers, but the entire bed was still shaking. He was worried that the bed would be shaken down and couldn't help but shout: "Ying Li is dead! The Chu soldiers are dead! The Chu people are dead! If Da Ao dies, the Chu people may die all..."
Sudden words were filled with grief and anger. Thinking of the teacher and the more than 2,000 injured soldiers, thinking of the entire 180,000 coalition forces, he woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't help crying. The Chu State was about to perish, and the Chu people died, and he went to Xizhou and never returned to Chu again in this life. He could not understand why the Chu people had to bear such a tragic fate! Could it be that Taiyi abandoned the Chu people? Could it be that the Dasi Ming was tired of the Chu people?
"The people of the country regard Da Ao as Da Ao, for the sake of the Chu country, for the sake of my Chu people! Da Ao wants to die, what is the Chu country?! What are the people of Chu?!" Suddenly, he kept sank into the handle, and the sternum was split one after another. Xiong Jing didn't hear the question clearly in the severe pain, but the 'She country', 'Chu people', 'Chinese people', 'Dao' kept hitting his nerves, and the pictures in his mind kept reflected, and finally returned to the sky he saw when he fell on the snow when he was shot.
After being shot in the arrow, he thought he was going to die, and then he felt relieved. But he did not die immediately. He was bleeding, shock, and constantly unconscious. He wanted to draw his sword to end his life by himself, and then he could not find his sword. Even if he found the sword, he could never lift it up again. Death was a relief for him, but it was an irresponsible escape to his mother, wife, and Chu people!
He was once the bravest king in the world! When he galloped on the battlefield, the Chu soldiers cheered for him, and the Qin people were frightened when they saw his phoenix flag. How could such a brave and proud king willingly surrender to the imposed destiny? How could he accept the history of shame with grievance? How could he choose to commit suicide?
The sharp blade slashed down ruthlessly, and the sternum was slashed in half in half. Xiong Jing continued to struggle, but what made him struggle was no longer the severe pain in his chest, but the crazy bursting nerves.
Countless scenes followed one after another, countless Chu people smiled at him, and then disappeared like clouds and smoke. He finally couldn't help but roared like a beast with all his strength. The belt tied to his arm broke with a "splash" and his whole body was about to rise. Suddenly, he was shocked and shouted: "Stop!" Eight people, including four doctors and servants, quickly pressed Xiong Jing who was about to get up, but Xiong Jing fell down by himself, and his head slammed heavily on the bed and fainted.
"Hu..." Suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the knife was split and the sternum was slashed to the top. The last sternum had split open the entire sternum. The sternum was broken and the chest cavity had been opened. The next thing to do was to use a stretcher to open the entire sternum so that the crossbow arrow was shot and which blood vessel was bleeding continuously.
After the sternum was opened, including Neacas, Crimenides, Xia Wuqi and Luyangyan outside the capsule, all saw the open lung lobes and slightly white pericardium on the left. The pericardium beating rhythmically, strong and powerful.
"Ah..." Someone of the four people exclaimed. Many people had seen the heart, but no one had seen the beating heart. The strangest thing among the four was Lu Yangyan. He not only saw Da Ao's chest, but also Da Ao's heart. He suddenly knelt down and bowed to the ground. He heard sudden words and questions. It was him and the guards' knights who did not protect Da Ao and let him take the lead in rushing towards the Qin people's crossbow formation; it was they who were not wary of the Bai Di people behind Fusu, and they shot Da Ao.
Lu Yangyan outside the capsule looked at the entire chest cavity. As he imagined, the infection had not yet affected the entire chest cavity. There was no coagulated blood stain on the lung lobes. The heart and lungs were intact and there was no damage. The crossbow arrow passed through the heart and lungs. Thinking of this position, he suddenly said light to his side. The sunlight directly above the skin capsule immediately reflected, and then the light, he saw blood flowing out from one place, which should be the blood vessel that bleeded continuously.
Even more skillful than a woman's embroidery, she suddenly found the blood vessel carefully and carefully sutured it properly. After the suture was completed, she began to search for foreign objects in the chest cavity. There were no foreign objects, only slightly suppurated blood. Clean up these blood, and then use normal saline to clean the entire chest cavity without antibiotics. This is both cleaning and disinfection. When all this is done, the entire chest cavity is slowly closed.
At this time, the people outside the capsule knew what those gems were for. Suddenly, they used bone drills to drill one spiral hole after another on the left and right sternums. Those gems that had been ground like screws in later generations were screwed into these bone holes, and then two were stuck together horizontally. Without chromium, there would be no stainless steel, and it was even less likely to be titanium. The only thing that Yi Yin Yingli could find was that is not rejected by the body and has sufficient strength. Without this fixation, the split sternum would not be able to heal.
