Wu Tongpu suddenly looked up at the electrocardiogram monitor amid the surrounding emotion.
Wu Tongpu sharply realized that matters weren't as simple as everyone imagined.
A normal heartbeat rhythm?
How could the heart rate stabilize so quickly after just resuming beating?
How was that possible?
This led Wu Tongpu to the keen realization: This... Chen Cang's skills are not just ordinarily impressive...
At this moment, Wu Tongpu looked at Chen Cang with eyes full of shock!
It was the same cardiac resuscitation technique!
But the difference was still huge.
This technique, although seemingly quite simple in theory—imitating CPR to manually jolt the heart back to life, getting it to beat again—it wasn't that simple!
This didn't mean that after resuscitation one could so swiftly return to a normal heartbeat rhythm. Often after resuscitation, it was necessary to stabilize the heart rate with medication!
Thinking this, Wu Tongpu hurriedly said to the head nurse, "Can we go back?"
Everyone was slightly startled, looking at Wu Tongpu!
And the head nurse nodded, "Yes, everything was saved synchronously, we can go back."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tongpu's eyes lit up. He felt that Chen Cang must have done something extraordinary, prompting the heart to recover quickly and then maintain a normal rhythm at baseline almost instantly.
Wu Tongpu: "Give me the remote!"
After speaking, the footage rewound, and everyone in the office stared at the large screen, wondering what exactly Director Wu was up to!
They then saw the footage rewind to the moment Chen Cang's hands were clasping the heart. This time, Wu Tongpu slowed down the speed to about one quarter!
At that moment, everyone looked up!
Instantly, they witnessed something they might never forget in their lifetimes!
"This... I achieve your dream with my own two hands??"
"These hands are way too awesome!"
Ma Yuehui muttered to himself in disbelief, "Mother of god, I have to learn this no matter what! It's not just about changing heads, but changing hands too..."
In the eyes of Ma Yuehui, the emergency medicine doctor, Chen Cang's cardiac resuscitation technique was far more tempting than any other heart continuous beating technique!
Because in emergency medicine, saving the patient's life is always the primary concern.
Wu Tongpu took a deep breath, unable to help shaking his head.
So that's how it was!
He discovered that the moment Chen Cang held the heart with both hands, he had already begun simulating the heart's electrical reflex!
Starting from the sinoatrial node, then to the atrium... the atrioventricular node... the ventricle...
If there were an electrocardiogram, Chen Cang could have forcefully simulated a complete P-wave... QRS complex... T-wave...
With the slow-motion playback, everyone could clearly see Chen Cang's nimble hands continuously applying pressure, steady... flexible... speed... none could be lacking!
Are these even the hands of a human?
The more they delved in, the more terrifying everyone found it!
If not for Wu Tongpu, no one might have discovered what depth and substance lay hidden within Chen Cang's seemingly routine procedure!
Everyone had already thought Chen Cang's cardiac resuscitation technique was strong just now!
But they had never imagined it would be this strong!
Those cardiac surgery directors who followed Chen Cang for instruction could now truly sense Chen Cang's power!
It was an admiration akin to looking up to the tallest mountains!
They realized that the more they understood Teacher Chen, the more they could feel the shock of this tremendous strength!
The more they explored in detail, the more they could feel his power!
What everyone had come to recognize was only the tip of the iceberg, a drop in the ocean, or like a hair on nine oxen!
Even the cardiac surgery director Wu Tongpu, who had worked in emergency medicine for decades, the double-academian of China, Wu Tongpu, could only feel inferior at this moment!
Indeed, Chen Cang's cardiac resuscitation technique was perfect!
There were too few people capable of honing this emergency skill to perfection, as there were not always patients around to practice cardiac manipulation on.
Moreover, even if you did have the opportunity, you needed hands as dexterous, sensitive, stable, and strong as Chen Cang's — an impressive combination of attributes.
Fitting a prosthetic valve to the left ventricular cavity is a true test of a cardiothoracic surgeon's skills!
Choosing the size of the prosthetic valve and the patch needed during the repair process requires consideration not only of the annulus size after excising the leaflets but also of the patient's weight and the size of their left ventricular cavity.
Beyond estimating the overall fit between the left ventricular cavity and the prosthetic valve, it is also crucial to assess the condition of the inner walls of the left ventricle to adjust the orientation of the prosthetic valve leaflets upon opening.
This ensures that the lower edge of the leaflets does not touch any remaining tissue inside the left ventricular cavity upon opening.
It is a precision process!
It is also the most critical step of the whole surgery.
Regrettably, in Chen Cang's hands, this became the easiest and most comfortable step.
Chen Cang noticed that Xu Ziming's foundation was actually quite good; the trimming of the mitral valve was nearly identical to what he had specified.
He couldn't help but praise satisfactorily, "Director Xu, well trimmed!"
This compliment instantly became the sweetest thing Xu Ziming had ever heard in his life!
The other directors looked at Xu Ziming with envy.
Chen Cang looked at everyone, "For the next surgery, you'll handle the trimming, and I'll take care of sewing the patches. You need to keep practicing your skills."
Upon hearing this, excitement visibly overflowed from everyone in the operating room.
Why bother with solemnity? In front of the teacher, one should be honest and show true feelings!
What if Teacher Chen became displeased and let the group of doorkeepers outside come in to replace them? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"Thank you, Teacher Chen!"
"We won't let you down!"
The directors were genuinely happy inside.
Meanwhile, the dozen or so cardiothoracic directors who hadn't participated in the surgery felt incredibly aggrieved inside.
They blamed their own lack of effort!
They blamed their own lack of desperation!
They blamed the mistress for being too clingy recently!
They blamed themselves for angering their wives!
In that moment, they were full of regret, resolving to focus solely on their studies upon returning home. Mistresses be damned!
Nothing should get in the way of becoming great doctors!
In the time that followed, Chen Cang watched the big screen, continuously directing Xu Ziming throughout the surgery!
And all the while, he could calmly handle the valve trimming, the sewing of patches...
"Director Xu, when you're folding the right part of the left atrium, do it along the direction of the left atrial longitudinal incision!
Right, according to the tension, make it fusiform. You have to remove a part of the left atrial wall in a fusiform shape."
"Ah, fusiform, fusiform, don't you know what fusiform is? How can you be so... so..."
"Forget it, come down!"
"Next, Director Liu, you're up!"
"Director Xu, watch how Director Liu does it!"
While performing surgery, Chen Cang simultaneously directed the others, and everyone outside watched with trepidation!
However, it seemed that Chen Cang's surgery wasn't impacted at all.
It was just Director Xu who was extremely anxious inside.
He knew they were live streaming. To be criticised in front of so many people was just too embarrassing...
Thinking of this, Xu Ziming felt his face flush.
In this competitive surgery, Chen Cang disregarded positions, only the capable would take the lead!
