The most important thing in the operating room is to stay calm above all.
When he arrived, no hospital leaders were present, nor were the cardiothoracic departnt personnel. It seed they knew there was a cardiothoracic expert stationed inside who would handle any heart issues the patient had imdiately.
A figure moved through the group of physicians. Cao Yong entered the operating room alone.
Looking around, the expressions of those in the operating room seed steady. Cao Yong’s gaze shifted, pausing briefly on Junior Xie Wanying’s face. He pulled out the dical flashlight from the pocket on his chest and walked to the head of the operating table.
The anesthesiologist was preparing to wake the patient but found that the patient could not regain consciousness. At that mont, sweat poured from Zhang Tinghai’s forehead once again.
"The dication has been withdrawn; the patient should be waking up," Zhang Tinghai said hoarsely. He hadn’t slept well for two weeks, and today’s intense pressure made his headache feel like it was about to explode.
Bending down, Cao Yong used the dical flashlight to carefully check the patient’s pupillary reflex and asked, "How long had her heart been stopped before?"
"When her heart malfunctioned, we imdiately started brain protection asures," Zhang Tinghai stated firmly. The anesthesiology team had done everything they could.
Cao Yong glanced at the anxiety on Zhang Tinghai’s face but kept his composure, refraining from argunts. No one wished for ergencies like this, and as colleagues, he knew everyone here had given their utmost effort—there was no rit in assigning bla.
However, in dicine, facts are critical. The so-called hypothermic brain protection—any insider would know—its impact is quite limited. If actual brain damage occurs, these asures are barely better than nothing.
Understanding the inadequacy of his words, Zhang Tinghai’s worried eyes brimd with the threat of tears.
Lau Jingyun looked at him in this state and, for the first ti, felt a deep respect for his character. Since Teacher Lu’s surgical case was assigned to the anesthesiology departnt, all the anesthesiologists knew that anesthesia for this operation would be extrely challenging—they all avoided it.
In the end, Director Chen specifically assigned him to handle it, and he really shouldered the responsibility, taking on a task that others dared not. Director Chen’s trust in him had its reason. A good anesthesiologist must also have the courage to bear heavy responsibilities.
"Let’s wait and see," Cao Yong said to his waiting, anxious colleagues.
Indeed, neurosurgeons tend to be the calst under pressure. Cao Yong’s voice was like a ray of sunlight breaking through the stormy seas, an indication that calm might follow the turbulence, that the ocean might return to serenity.
Xie Wanying thought: Senior Cao is like the sun—sotis appearing stern and unapproachable, yet inherently warm.
"Alright," Zhang Huayao responded to his suggestion, seemingly agreeing with Cao Yong’s assessnt.
The patient was then transferred to the ICU for observation.
As soon as the patient was wheeled out of the operating room, a large group of people rushed up from outside.
"Teacher, Teacher!" They called out Teacher Lu’s na one after another, longing for her to open her eyes and glance at them, even once.
But Teacher Lu seed to be in another world, dreaming. She hadn’t returned, nor could she respond to any of them.
Teacher Yu and several colleagues, upon seeing this, wiped away tears.
The patient was sent to the ICU.
A group of students and colleagues volunteered to stay by Teacher Lu’s side, pledging to care for her until she woke up.
Dai Hongrong had to step out and maintain order: "This is the ICU—no visitors allowed!"
Too many people could compromise the patient’s recovery, increasing the risk of infection. Especially for Teacher Lu, who had just undergone major surgery and needed the utmost protection against infections.
Being dical professionals themselves, they understood this reasoning and reluctantly dispersed upon hearing her words.
