Chapter 403: Chapter 0376: Full of Twists and Turns

In Director Han’s office, Professor Zhang, Director Han and Yang Ping are discussing Professor Feng’s condition.

“Yang Ping, this is Director Han’s mentor, Academician Feng Tiancheng of Mo Sixth, he has been put on a ventilator for the second time,” Professor Zhang told Yang Ping.

Director Han’s teacher, that would make him Yang Ping’s grandteacher.

Professor Feng Tiancheng, Yang Ping certainly knows him. Anyone in orthopedics in China would know Academician Feng for his significant contributions to Orthopedics.

“In five days, there’s a consultation meeting, perhaps the last to discuss Professor Feng’s situation. Director Han and I are going to Shanghai. You should also come with us after sorting out your work,” Professor Zhang arranged on behalf of Director Han. He planned to take Yang Ping to Shanghai for case discussion.

Since there is an eighty percent chance, Professor Zhang must strive for Academician Feng. Sometimes Director Han might feel impotent due to his complicated relationship, but Professor Zhang could act without inhibitions.

In the second season of surgeries, Yang Ping demonstrated all types of surgeries with one operation. The third season won’t start until two weeks later, so he didn’t have anything significant on hand at the moment.

Even if it weren’t his grandteacher, but an ordinary person, Yang Ping would feel duty-bound to help.

The difficulty of this operation was too high. Yang Ping had already performed many similar cases in the system space, and in each case, the heartbeat would stop during the operation.

These sudden cardiac arrests during the operation were caused by disturbances to the respiratory circulatory center during the operation. Because there was a ventilator performing mechanical ventilation during the operation, respiratory arrest wouldn’t appear on the surface.

But sudden cardiac arrest could be reflected. Some of these could be resuscitated, while others could not.

After accumulating a large number of cases and performing in-depth pathological autopsies on deceased cases, Yang Ping was able to continuously improve the success rate, but still, about twenty percent of the cases could not be rescued.

What was deadly was that in these cases, the heart stopped beating more than once during the operation, some as many as a dozen times—meaning that the heart would stop, be resuscitated, then stop again, requiring another resuscitation.

This operation required a prone position. If cardiac arrest occurred, defibrillation would be needed, and defibrillation could only be performed in the prone position.

Normal defibrillation is done in the supine position. Defibrillation in the prone position has a lower success rate than in the supine position.

If the patient’s position is changed during the operation, it could easily cause injury to the upper spinal cord and medulla oblongata, resulting in the patient’s death during the turnover.

There have been such cases in cranial base upper cervical spine surgery. During combined anterior and posterior surgeries, the patient died from injuries to the upper spinal cord or medulla oblongata during turnover.

“Yang Ping, at that time, I will let you speak. Prepare a draft and think about how to convince those big shots, including several Americans from Mayo Clinic, Twin City Spine, and Anderson Cancer Center.” Professor Zhang instructed Yang Ping.

He didn’t doubt Yang Ping’s eighty percent confidence, he was just concerned that he would not be able to persuade the many top experts when the time comes. After all, the success rate he quoted was far different from the success rate currently reported.

If it wasn’t for their regular interaction and deep understanding of Yang Ping, no one would believe what he said. They would all think he was talking nonsense.

Even Professor Zhang and Director Han, who had spent so much time with him, found it hard to believe when they saw Lu Gang’s surgery. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it.

“Don’t worry, I will find a way to convince them when the time comes. They are all top experts in the field, communication should not be a problem.” Yang Ping was completely confident.

These were all world-leading experts, the strongest team in the world to treat such diseases.

However, Yang Ping felt that they wouldn’t be of much help with Professor Feng’s disease.

Cases like this are considered no-go areas for surgery.

The removal of tumors slightly damages or stimulates the breathing circulation centre, causing the heart and breathing to stop. It’s like writing on a soap bubble – a slight stimulus causes the soap bubble to burst.

Because the risk of such cases is too high and the chance of success is almost impossible, there is very little surgery performed. This creates a vicious cycle where fewer surgeries means doctors can’t gain experience. Without experience, there’s no way to improve surgical methods or outcomes.

These world-leading experts are no different, there are far too few cases they can operate on.

In the system space, a large number of experimental bodies allows Yang Ping to perform surgeries without restraint. After failure, he could dissect and study the experimental body to find the cause of the failure, which is why he had eighty percent confidence.

Upon hearing Professor Zhang’s words, Director Han was a bit troubled: “Is this appropriate?”

Director Han’s relationship with his teacher and senior fellow student has been rather tense for over a decade. This time his teacher fell ill, Director Han just stealthily peeked from the visiting corridor through the glass. For many years, he had no communication with Hong Zhigang, merely exchanging polite smiles when they bumped into each other at academic conferences.

Director Han really wants to save his teacher’s life but could never find a way in. Now suddenly, his student was invited to join the consultation meeting for Professor Feng and even set to speak, which caught him a bit off guard.

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange this. With me there, Hong Zhigang won’t dare to object,” Professor Zhang decided.

Director Han could only say, “Okay, we’ll follow your arrangements.”

“Who other than Yang Ping can perform this surgery now? With an eighty percent chance, are we just going to sit and watch Academician Feng go?” Professor Zhang spoke straightforwardly.

Yang Ping didn’t know the grudges between Director Han, his teacher, and his senior fellow student, but he could see that Director Han respected Professor Feng very much.

When Professor Feng fell ill this time, Director Han made several trips to Shanghai and had been continuously looking for ways to help Professor Feng, indicating that his respect for his teacher was still strong and deep.
