Chapter 919 Anesthesiologist: I feel like I’m going to lose my job

The atmosphere in the operating room suddenly became warm.

For this child, Xu Qiu was like a ray of light that broke into the dark world, soothing her fear of the unknown operation.

The high affinity also made Xu Qiu's words more powerful, and Chen Zhiyao's anxiety gradually dissipated invisibly.

"Then I start?" Xu Qiu asked.

The little girl wanted to nod, but her head was fixed. She grinned and plucked up the courage to say: "Yeah! Come on!"

Xu Qiu also smiled: "Come on."

Then, the entire operating room started to operate.

Routine disinfection of the entire head skin.

Lay sterile towels...

At the same time, the anesthesia team was also on standby.

To be honest, it was the first time for the experts present to perform awake anesthesia in this level of surgery.

The experts from various provinces and cities who were watching in the corner also widened their eyes.

When they first learned about the anesthesia method, everyone was shocked.

They had considered local anesthesia and general anesthesia, but they didn't expect Xu Qiu to choose such a risky method.

Those who don't know would think this is a mature technology...

Xu Qiu is the only one who dares to use awake anesthesia in the first operation.

Beep, beep--

The prompts of various instruments such as life monitors are endless.

As the anesthetic drugs are pushed in, the doctors present also become nervous.

Only Xu Qiu's face remains unchanged. He chats with Chen Zhiyao about cartoons and imagines his life after recovery.

Soon, good news came from the anesthesia team.

"Success!"

Everyone looked at the monitor.

Awake anesthesia is completed, and all life data are surprisingly stable!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qiu glanced at it, confirmed that the anesthesia took effect, and held the knife with one hand to make the first cut on the scalp.

The position of this cut is very tricky.

The incision is twelve centimeters above the brow, four centimeters beside the midline, and in front of the coronal suture.

And it is clean and neat!

With one cut, a four-centimeter incision appears accurately, no more, no less, and no bias.

Then the skull drilling is changed.

First, electrocauterize.

Then cut the dura mater crosswise.

Below are the important large blood vessels of the brain, as well as countless small, complex and intricate blood vessel networks.

Xu Qiu stared at the patient's head, recalling the data from the three-dimensional reconstruction and various imaging films.

The next moment, the picture in his mind seemed to overlap with reality, and a crisscrossing network of blood vessels seemed to appear in the brain in front of him.

Xu Qiu took a deep breath.

Following his memory, he used the master-level ability to locate the functional areas of the brain to quickly avoid the blood vessels in front of him and soon entered the pia mater.

Amid the sound of sizzling, Director Lin replaced Xu Qiu and chatted with the patient, diverting Chen Zhiyao's attention.

After all, it was too difficult for a little girl to stay calm while listening to the sound of an electric drill coming from her head.

Chemotherapy was the only option.

"How are her test scores?"

"My granddaughter is the same age as you, but she's very naughty and not as cute as you... I'll buy you a few test papers when you get better."

The other doctors on the scene were almost unable to hold back.

I said to Director Lin...

You don't have to chat if you don't know how to chat!

How can you talk about grades and homework all the time? What if you make the little girl lose the desire to live?

But, to everyone's surprise, Chen Zhiyao also liked this topic.

For her who was plagued by illness, being able to sit in the classroom was already a luxury...As for the pain of schoolwork, she hadn't had the chance to feel it yet.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I used to like Chinese class so much. The teacher even praised my picture writing!" Chen Zhiyao was in high spirits.

"That's great. I'll buy you a few picture-based writing exercise books so you can write as much as you want!"

Director Lin...be a human being!

If I'm lying on the operating table, Dr. Xu won't be able to save me even if he comes!

…

Zizizizi——

Under Xu Qiu’s control, the high-frequency electrocautery knife seemed to become a third hand.

Soon, a defect with a diameter of two millimeters appeared on the pia mater.

The assistant’s mind quickly appeared the scene of the operation that had been practiced many times...

He immediately adjusted the coordinates of the stereotactic instrument to the position of the target, and then positioned it on the calibrator.

As soon as Xu Qiu put down the electrotactic knife, the preparations were ready. He smoothly put the microelectrode cannula with the needle core into the micro-propellant, and the micro-propellant was fixed on the bow frame of the directional instrument.

After fine-tuning the position, Xu Qiu aimed the microelectrode cannula at the defect of the pia mater, slowly rotated, and the cannula slowly penetrated into the cortex.

Xu Qiu’s eyes were always fixed on the monitor in front of him.

Under the guidance of the intraoperative image, the cannula finally stopped at a distance of fifteen millimeters from the target.

Then, fix the cannula.

The next step is to remove the needle core.

Then, the core component of the operation appeared.

Microelectrode needle!

Under Xu Qiu's control, it entered from the hollow cannula and then formed a propulsion device with the micro-propeller.

Under the precise program setting of the micro-propeller, the microelectrode entered the needle at a micron level.

This step cannot be replaced by human hands.

After all, no matter how perverted Xu Qiu is, it is wishful thinking to control the force at the micron level.

This is the limit that the human eye cannot reach.

However, it is not the limit of human wisdom.

Machinery + program, the combination of the two creates the miracle of microelectrodes.

"Ready!"

"There are thirteen millimeters to the target, and we will start recording at ten millimeters!"

"Record three needle tracks in each place!"

The closest place to Xu Qiu is the pulse device parameter control team composed of Linyi, Tiantan, and Greentown First Hospital.

They are responsible for the parameter control of the device.

Xu Qiu's attention is also extremely focused.

Staring at the monitor, he saw a micro needle piercing the patient's brain.

At the same time, he seemed to see the image of microelectrodes in the human brain.

One human brain anatomical structure after another was pierced.

First, the putamen, then the lateral globus pallidus, then the outer medullary plate, and then the lateral part of the medial globus pallidus, and then we have to go deeper...

Inner medullary plate, medial part of the medial globus pallidus...

Zizi--

The sound of electric current is jumping.

A series of electrical signals are collected by microelectrodes, enter the computer system through wires, and finally appear on the display screen after filtering and amplification.

Different discharge forms and frequencies appear above.

At the same time, the assistant was also stabilizing Chen Zhiyao's emotions.

And as the operation progressed, Chen Zhiyao also cooperated with various movements, and further confirmed the fine distribution of the sensorimotor brain area based on the brain activity and neuronal cell discharge during exercise.

"What a magical anesthesia method..."

"I have seen it in the news before, saying that when the patient was undergoing brain surgery, the doctor woke the patient up and did a math problem, but it doesn't seem as outrageous as Dr. Xu. Microelectrodes can accurately record so much information!"

"Suddenly I feel that the brain is not mysterious anymore!"

"No, no, no, for Dr. Xu, the human brain may not be mysterious... but we ordinary people should take it easy!"

Off the field, experts from various provinces and cities felt that their three views were refreshed.

At the same time, I felt like cursing.

Those guys who boasted about Dr. Xu's superb skills on the Internet...

He is obviously more perverted than you guys!
