"Xiao Zhao, actually, when I was doing my doctorate, my mentor also mentioned the technology of perioperative brain tissue and consciousness recovery. However, this technology requires knowledge from too many disciplines, and the content is too profound and challenging. I never expected you to conquer it."
Wen Shen said with some emotion.
In terms of studying and improving professional skills, Wen Shen considered himself quite diligent among doctors. Basically, after work, he would spend his rest time studying.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Heng was even more diligent than him.
Just thinking about it a bit, one knows that mastering such profound technology must have required dedicated and hard work.
The effort he put in is beyond what outsiders can know.
Hearing Wen Shen's emotion, Zhao Heng also didn't quite know how to respond.
Should he tell Wen Shen that he had a cheat code?!
As time ticked by, with Liu Ziang as the chief surgeon, the operation proceeded very smoothly.
Three hours later, the surgery concluded successfully as scheduled.
With the operation over, everyone present started feeling nervous.
Because even though the surgery was successful, whether the patient could wake up during the postoperative awakening phase remained unknown.
"We'll leave the rest to you."
Liu Ziang completed the final step of the surgery, took off his gloves, and said to Zhao Heng.
"Okay."
Zhao Heng nodded.
For surgeries that require general anesthesia, after stopping the anesthetic, the patient typically wakes up in about half an hour, sometimes longer, but usually not more than four hours.
If it exceeds this time, it means the patient is in a deep coma. If it wasn't a brain surgery, it means there was an anesthetic issue.
It's now exactly twelve o'clock. If by four in the afternoon, the patient still doesn't wake up, there is a high probability they will become a permanent vegetative state.
Soon, the patient was transferred to the ICU intensive care unit. Next, Zhao Heng had to monitor the patient's brainwaves in real-time and use a series of brain cell medications to fully awaken the patient's consciousness.
At three-thirty in the afternoon.
Currently, in the ICU, doctors from various departments were paying attention, because Zhao Heng was using the perioperative brain function and consciousness recovery technology on the patient.
Such cutting-edge technology being applied to actual clinical practice was unprecedented at Eastern Hospital.
At this moment, in front of the patient's bed, Zhao Heng, Wen Shen, Gao Jun, and Liu Ziang were all waiting.
Although three and a half hours had passed since the operation, leaving only half an hour until the final deadline, Zhao Heng didn't feel panicked at all.
Because the patient's brainwave patterns had already formed a data model in his mind, and Zhao Heng was adjusting the brain cell medication based on this data model and the patient's real-time brainwave changes.
"Old Gao, it's almost four hours, how come there's still no movement?"
With time drawing closer to the four-hour deadline, Wen Shen couldn't help but speak to Gao Jun standing nearby.
"Hard to say."
Although Gao Jun had confidence in Zhao Heng, this technology had never been tried in clinical practice at Eastern Hospital before, so he wasn't entirely sure.
"It will succeed, believe in him."
Liu Ziang, standing aside, had a different attitude than Wen Shen and Gao Jun, as if he had great confidence in Zhao Heng's abilities.
It's an intuition between geniuses. Liu Ziang knew that what seems impossible for ordinary people might be simple for a genius.
For instance, what Zhao Heng was doing was building a data model in his mind based on all the patient's conditions, and all his operations on the patient were based on this model.
Building a data model is something only computers can do; the human brain can't handle such calculations, let alone make clear models.
At this moment, the patient's real-time EEG waveform on the electronic screen suddenly changed.
Seeing this, Wen Shen and Gao Jun felt a stir in their hearts. Could it be that the patient was about to wake up?
"Inject one unit of phosphocoline stat."
Seeing the change in the EEG waveform, Zhao Heng's mental data model quickly computed the result, and he immediately instructed the ICU nurse Bai Jing at the bedside.
"Okay!"
Bai Jing, always on high alert and not daring to relax for even a moment, heard Zhao Heng's command and immediately picked up the syringe on the workbench, drew one unit of phosphocoline stat, and injected it into the patient's vein.
This phosphocoline stat is a brain function recovery drug primarily working on the cerebral cortex, promoting brain cell metabolism, increasing tissue glucose utilization, and enhancing nerve cell excitability.
What Zhao Heng did by administering phosphocoline stat to the patient was akin to throwing a stone into the patient's tranquil sea of consciousness.
This small stimulus could completely activate the previously adjusted-to-ready-to-awaken brain.
Sure enough, after injecting phosphocoline stat, the EEG waveform on the electronic screen, which previously had only tiny fluctuations, immediately started vibrating intensely.
"Is it waking up?!"
Seeing this, Wen Shen exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, the patient's dormant brain has been activated. They should wake up soon."
Liu Ziang confirmed confidently.
Fascinated by this miraculous technology, Liu Ziang, being a neurosurgery expert, knew this fine-tuning of brain function states would have extensive applications in neurology.
Perhaps the development of this technology in the future would exceed everyone's imagination!
True to his words, no sooner had Liu Ziang spoken, Bai Jing, with sharp eyes, noticed movements in the patient's fingers, and their eyelids also fluttered slightly.
"The patient's fingers moved!"
Bai Jing stated excitedly.
About ten minutes later, the female influencer Wanwan's consciousness emerged from the darkness. She struggled to open her eyes, vaguely seeing a young and handsome doctor standing by her bed. She wanted to speak, but her throat felt dry, scratchy, and painfully sore.
"Doc...Doctor...I..."
The influencer Wanwan struggled to say ambiguously. She had just undergone silicone filling surgery to make herself look more beautiful, but upon waking up, she found herself in this condition?
At this moment, a great terror arose in Wanwan's heart.
"You're fine; rest well, and sleep a little longer, and you'll be okay."
Zhao Heng said in a gentle and magnetic voice.
Hearing Zhao Heng's voice brought an immense sense of security to Wanwan, and she immediately felt very sleepy again and fell back to sleep.
"Alright, the patient has awakened briefly. Once her brain functions recover fully, she will be completely awake."
Zhao Heng informed Gao Jun, Wen Shen, and Liu Ziang.
"Truly miraculous!"
Wen Shen exclaimed in admiration, having had his eyes opened today.
"Great job!"
Gao Jun also praised with great approval.
Only Liu Ziang seemed unsurprised, for he knew Zhao Heng would succeed.
It's an intuition between geniuses!
