So it turned out that the Beidu Talented Scholar didn’t run away in fear but went to grab the vein incision kit and the temporary pacemaker.
In other words, the mont Xie Wanying made her judgnt, Song Xueling had the sa judgnt as her, which was why he rushed out to get the equipnt.
Huff, huff, huff—Song Xueling gasped for air, his face drenched in sweat. For him, such a situation was almost unprecedented. For a literary enthusiast who hated physical exercise, running like a 100-ter dash champion was utterly exhausting.
Ephedrine was dripped into the patient’s vein, and it seed to have so effect.
Beep, beep—beep, beep—the heart rate on the ECG monitor increased slightly, but it didn’t stabilize.
Zhang Huayao, who was performing external cardiac compressions, paused briefly, his gray eyes fixed intently on the patient’s ECG to see if it had returned to normal. His palm rested on his foster mother’s chest, ready to continue compressions at any mont.
The other doctors, like him, watched the patient’s ECG and made their judgnt: wide and abnormal QRS waves, a heart rate of 38 beats per minute, and ventricular activity was not synchronized with atrial activity. They were dissociated, acting independently.
In this situation, it could be initially identified as an idioventricular rhythm.
Forceful external cardiac compressions, combined with ephedrine, had limited effect on correcting the patient’s ECG. This indicated that the condition was not transient or temporary—it absolutely required the imdiate installation of a temporary pacemaker. Otherwise, ventricular arrest could occur again at any mont.
"Bring it up here!" Zhang Huayao shouted.
Everyone knew he was referring to the pacemaker that Song Xueling had dashed out to retrieve.
The nurse pushed the treatnt cart into place, ready with supplies to install the temporary pacemaker. The vein incision kit and other items were neatly arranged on the cart. The kit was opened, drapes were laid out, and heparin saline was drawn up, among other preparations.
Zhang Huayao grabbed a pair of sterile gloves and put them on himself.
The team of dical staff watched as he prepared to personally install the temporary pacemaker on his own mother. For a mont, they all felt a twinge of worry.
Guoxie had internal regulations—doctors were strongly discouraged from performing surgery on their own family mbers.
"Should we call soone from cardiology to co over?" Gao Zhaocheng whispered to the two chief surgeons, trying to discuss it discreetly.
How could that be possible?
Tan Kelin and Tao Zhijie both thought: At this point, there was no way anyone could stop this man.
Didn’t you see the ferocity in him when he first charged in?
Besides, calling soone from cardiology would probably take too long. Teacher Lu’s current state could not afford even a second of delay. For a heart attack patient, every minute, every second was a matter of life and death—let alone under the ultra-critical situation of an unfinished surgery right there on the operating table.
The patient’s heart had to be stabilized imdiately so the surgery could be completed.
With this understanding, both Tao Zhijie and Tan Kelin moved forward to assist Zhang Huayao. The two of them silently decided that if Zhang Huayao slipped up at any point, they would work together to push him aside and take over. It didn’t matter if he was so Boss of Guo Zhi Hospital’s cardiothoracic departnt.
Following behind them, Xie Wanying noticed sothing rare: Senior Tao and Teacher Tan appeared to have, for the first ti today, perfect synchronization in their teamwork during this surgery.
The atmosphere in the operating room felt like a powder keg, tense and on the brink of exploding at any second.
"Ready," the nurse inford the doctors.
The dical staff moved into their respective positions.
"Grandma!" soone suddenly burst into the operating room.
From the voice, it was Zhang Shuping.
The doctors in the operating room all stiffened slightly.
"Who allowed family mbers to co in here?" Gao Zhaocheng demanded angrily.
Clearly, no one had inford Zhang Shuping. Every doctor and nurse in the room was too busy trying to save the patient to even think about notifying anyone outside.
