"Teacher, in situations like this, is there a high chance of saving the patient?"

This is a remote demonstration class of a live surgery.

There are not only teaching staff but even students watching.

A student asked their teacher this question.

None of them expected that a straightforward demonstration class on minimally invasive brain aneurysm rupture surgery would end up like this.

"We don't need to face the relatives, so the teacher will speak frankly here. Generally, an anesthetist might not encounter a malignant hyperthermia case in their entire life. If it does occur during anesthesia and there's no Danqulin, the patient's mortality rate is 100%! Remember! 100%!!"

In a special multimedia classroom.

It was a group of medical students watching the demonstration teaching livestream.

Of course, in such types of broadcasts, students certainly aren't allowed to bring mobile phones inside.

Therefore, no one on-site was recording.

As medical students, they have this kind of privacy awareness.

After all, teaching videos, if released, could potentially cause a series of problems.

"Then teacher, our Provincial Hospital should have Danqulin, right?"

Some students in the classroom raised questions.

"No! Danqulin is a very rare medicine, and generally only top tier hospitals have it, like Peking Union Medical College Hospital or West China Xiangya. The entire Northeast Province likely doesn't have this medication; at least the Provincial Hospital doesn't."

The teaching instructor shook their head.

"Ah! None!!"

"Teacher, why would a life-saving medicine be unavailable!!"

"Yes! If it's not available, what happens to the patient then?"

After hearing the teacher's words, everyone looked extremely puzzled.

You have to understand, this is a medicine whose use guarantees saving lives!

"As mentioned earlier, this medication is extremely scarce. Currently, it's mostly imported in our country, priced at ten thousand dollars, which equates to seventy thousand yuan per bottle. If its shelf life is longer, it might be fine, but its shelf life is very short, only twelve months."

"And malignant hyperthermia cases registered nationwide are only up to a hundred cases. Previously we explained it to everyone; there are 1,070,000 medical institutions across the country, and last year, the total number of hospital visits was 9.55 billion. Among such hundreds of billions of visits, only one or two cases are of malignant hyperthermia. Therefore, this medicine is akin to an orphan drug, and very few hospitals stock it."

The teacher spoke up.

"This..."

After this explanation, everyone understood why the medication is so expensive.

Moreover, the incidence rate is so low.

They need to know there are almost a billion visits a year.

Yet, there are only one or two cases of malignant hyperthermia.

So many hospitals don't prepare for it, and this is quite understandable.

After all, who would prepare for something with such a low probability?

And if there are no cases, the medicine would expire, wasting tens of thousands of yuan.

Many hospitals reducing their budget on this matter is quite normal.

"Teacher, so what you're saying is that if we want to save this patient now, we need to transfer the medicine from the Capital City, like from Peking Union? But that would take at least three to four hours; can the patient really hold on? You know the patient is currently in ventricular fibrillation, and their body temperature has even reached forty-one degrees!!"

Although not at the emergency scene.

The broadcast of the demonstration class was making everyone incredibly tense.

Especially since the patient's temperature reached forty-one degrees.

And it hasn't stopped yet!

"Whether we can successfully rescue depends purely on the patient themselves now because all procedures at the Provincial Hospital have no issues. Thanks to Dr. Xiaochuan's reminder and Vice Director Huang's decisiveness, the anesthetics were stopped very early. They quickly identified the malignant hyperthermia. You might want to look at the CPR done by Dr. Xiaochuan; its quality is exceptionally high, and his stamina is surprisingly good. This segment of CPR is a perfect demonstration for teaching."

At this point, the teaching assistant switched the camera to Zhang Lingchuan performing CPR.

Previously they didn't quite understand why Vice Director Huang said Dr. Xiaochuan was an expert in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Now it seems.

The title of expert is well-deserved.

"Indeed perfect."

"Furthermore, it seems Dr. Xiaochuan isn't tired at all. This has already been five whole minutes of CPR!!"

"Impressive! Absolutely impressive! Normally doing high-quality CPR for two minutes would be exhausting, but maintaining the rhythm for five minutes!"

"Isn't it! This expert might have started practicing CPR from the womb!!"

...

Many students watched the video with admiration.

Everyone knows how to do CPR.

Even bystanders do.

But whether they can do it to standard, and after reaching the standard, can they maintain high quality—those are the distinguishing factors.

Additionally, there's the matter of endurance.

High-quality output can be done by many, but maintaining it for one or two minutes is very hard. If you can sustain it for five minutes, that's extraordinary!!

In the live operating room.

"Xiaochuan!!"

Dr. Luo held the defibrillator.

"Alright!!"

Everyone stepped away from the hospital bed.

"Buzz—— "

Instantly, two defibrillators were placed directly on the patient.

"Xiaochuan, do you want someone else to take over so you can rest a bit??"

After the defibrillation, Dr. Luo asked Zhang Lingchuan.

To be honest, he felt ashamed.
