Leaving Gao Jun's office, Zhao Heng felt a bit dazed.

Am I really going to lead a small team now?

Isn't it a bit too quick?

Upon entering the office, Zhao Heng saw Xu Man Ni and Tian Zhen chatting happily, not knowing what they were discussing.

"What did Old Gao want with you?"

Seeing Zhao Heng enter with a thoughtful expression, Xu Man Ni couldn't help but ask.

"The professor said they coordinated 10 beds from the ICU for me to be responsible for."

Zhao Heng replied.

"ICU? Are these beds specifically for perioperative recovery and critical emergency care?"

Xu Man Ni asked with some confusion.

The newly established Anesthesia and Perioperative Center is responsible for anesthesia work on one hand, and on the other hand, perioperative recovery along with some critical emergency care.

"Yes, it's just a pilot program for now."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"That means you'll be handling even more tasks.."

Xu Man Ni couldn't help but say.

Although happy for Zhao Heng's newfound responsibility, she also understood that it would be a challenging burden to bear.

Especially since these 10 beds were obtained from the ICU; it would be impossible without their consent.

Where there are people, there are dynamics and competition.

Even in Eastern Hospital, the departments aren't completely isolated; there are often overlaps in areas of work.

For instance, the ER can actually handle many emergency surgeries, which originally belonged to various departments.

The perioperative period, which includes postoperative patient recovery, covers a broad scope.

In fact, patients need perfect surgery and postoperative recovery as well.

The Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine Center, particularly the perioperative period, refers to perioperative recovery.

Perioperative recovery includes preoperative function assessment, preoperative functional goal setting, selection of rehabilitation and surgical timing, and regulation of postoperative emotions, nerves, fluid, nutrition, energy, and internal environment.

Besides, there's precise localization of postoperative dysfunction points, and systematic functional recovery of postoperative biomechanical lines, fascia, muscle chains, bones, tendons.

"The field of postoperative rehabilitation treatment is indeed promising, but critical emergency care is challenging."

After some thought, Xu Man Ni added.

"There's no choice; after all, the beds were taken from the ICU, so critical emergency care must be done."

Zhao Heng said with a slight shake of his head.

They had to obtain the beds from the ICU because only the ICU has the necessary conditions, and anesthesia inherently includes a part of critical emergency care.

Therefore, managing some critical patients is something the new Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine Center cannot refuse.

"In that case, at least two nurses and a doctor should be assigned to assist you. Want me to come over?"

Xu Man Ni thought for a moment and said.

"You're at a crucial stage; the teacher will arrange it."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly.

Xu Man Ni is at a critical stage before the head nurse election; if she leaves the OR now, she might miss such an opportunity in the future.

Hearing Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni's conversation, Tian Zhen, who stood aside, already had an idea in mind.

At that moment, a duty nurse rushed in from outside and hurriedly spoke to Zhao Heng: "Dr. Zhao, there's a brain injury patient in the ER, Director Liu wants you to go over."

"Alright, I got it."

Zhao Heng's expression tensed, and he nodded.

The moment he heard it was Liu Ziang calling him, he knew it wouldn't be an easy task.

However, doing surgery with Liu Ziang was an opportunity for him to improve.

From their previous surgeries together, he realized he could learn from Liu Ziang for quite a long time.

After all, Liu Ziang's range of disciplines was wide, and his mastery level was very high.

"I'm heading over now."

Zhao Heng gave a nod to Xu Man Ni and hurriedly left the office.

After Zhao Heng left the office, Xu Man Ni noticed Tian Zhen deep in thought and couldn't help but ask: "Zhenzhen? What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

Tian Zhen shook her head slightly and said.

"Old Gao really is something, piling everything on him."

Xu Man Ni complained a bit.

On the other side.

Zhao Heng rushed out from the Anesthesiology Department and headed straight to the ER's emergency room.

As soon as he entered the emergency room, Zhao Heng was faced with a shocking scene.

A middle-aged laborer wearing a hardhat lay on the emergency bed, with a steel rod at least 50cm long, piercing through from his left temple, passing through the skull and nasal bone, and protruding out from the other side.

The part where the steel rod was protruding caused a large swelling, pushing his left eye out and sinking his right eye in.

At that moment, in the emergency room, there were two firefighters standing beside him, along with ER attending physician Li Yang, a nurse, and Liu Ziang.

Seeing Zhao Heng enter, Liu Ziang's eyes lit up.

Even Li Yang felt a sense of relief because Zhao Heng was now recognized across various departments in Eastern Hospital as the "golden support"!

As long as he was involved in emergency treatment and anesthesia, the success rate would significantly increase, which was an undeniable fact!

"Dr. Zhao, you're here."

The ER attending physician Li Yang walked up to Zhao Heng, clearly letting out a sigh of relief, and greeted Zhao Heng.

"Mm."

"Senior."

Zhao Heng nodded, and also greeted Liu Ziang.

"Senior, what's the specific situation?"

Zhao Heng asked Liu Ziang.

"The patient fell from a height of two meters, and the steel rod directly penetrated the head. Because the rod's length exceeds 50cm, it's unable to fit into the CT scan chamber."

Liu Ziang said with a serious expression.

"So that means we have to saw off a part of the exposed steel rod before we can send him for a CT scan.."

Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.

The diameter of a typical CT scanner's circular gantry is usually between 68-120cm, and now, the steel bar protruding from the head is 50cm. This length surpasses the limits of the CT machine gantry, so the steel bar sticking out must be sawed off before the laborer can be sent for a head CT scan.

Given the position of the rod, any slight tremor could easily cause secondary damage, and if the bar's burr jabbed the cerebral arteries causing massive bleeding, the patient might not even make it to the OR.

"The patient has a history of extremely high hypertension, so controlling the blood pressure is something that solely relies on you."

Liu Ziang said with a very serious look on his face.

"Mm."

Zhao Heng nodded.

Next, everyone was waiting for the patient's blood pressure to lower, otherwise, it was impossible to proceed with the next steps.

At that moment, what Zhao Heng was doing was trying to bring the patient's currently surging blood pressure down. Otherwise, if during the steel bar handling the blood pressure suddenly spiked due to stress, it might even lead to ruptured cerebral vessels and extremely severe cerebral hemorrhage.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng glanced at the life monitor.

230/120mmHg!

This was already an extremely dangerous number. Under such high blood pressure, not only was there a constant risk of rupturing brain vessels and hemorrhage, but it could also potentially impair critical organs like the heart, brain, kidneys, and retinas leading to dysfunction or even failure.
