Capítulo 1450: Chapter 1450: Hopes Pinned
The doctors could at most only see the beginning of the trachea with the opportunity, which ant the view was very limited, and there was no hope of seeing the tracheal bifurcation. The tracheal bifurcation is the place where the trachea splits into the left and right main bronchi, at the very end of the trachea.
If their group of doctors’ speculation is correct, the cotton ball blocking the child’s tracheal bifurcation is invisible with a direct laryngoscopy.
The greatest function of the direct laryngoscope is actually to open the glottis to expose the trachea, giving the foreign body forceps a chance to enter the trachea for operation. The forceps have a head with an open-close tip that experienced doctors estimate the inserted length and rely on tactile sensation to pinch, which is blind operation.
A soft guidewire, when it touches a foreign object, hardly transmits any tactile sensation to the doctor. If they hook blind, they might end up scraping the tracheal wall and causing bleeding first.
The boss, full of experience, imdiately thought of the risks upon hearing her suggestion. However, Zhang Huayao did not explicitly express that he opposed her thod. The reason is that, from the depth of thought of the boss, her plan seed fantastic, risky, yet any dical procedure includes inherent risks. The most crucial part is whether the doctor can avoid the risks and execute precise operation.
If she can successfully avoid the aforentioned risks, this suggestion has a certain feasibility and can be further discussed.
“We need to find a harder guidewire rather than a super-lubricated one.” Cao Yong expressed his opinion, directly standing by his junior sister’s side.
Zhang Huayao squinted slightly at Cao Yong: this guy, nad Yong, always does things with courage.
As long as there is the slightest possibility for trial, he would try it; even a daredevil can’t match Cao Yong’s bravery. This is what everyone in the industry says.
Perhaps people say this about Cao Yong partly in jest, in addition to praise. Zhang Huayao, however, thinks perhaps these people are more jealous. A renowned doctor with the na Yong couldn’t have beco famous without skills. Likewise, the dical student before him is called stubborn; without skills, how could he be fad for stubbornness? He would have been eliminated already.
Zhang Huayao curled his experienced lips at the two of them: “A super-lubricated guidewire won’t work; it’s too soft, and once it bends entering the airway, it’s useless. A harder guidewire is indeed needed.”
A hard guidewire can enter the trachea in a straight line, giving the doctor a chance to gain tactile feedback, and at least not likely to hit the wall. If they could find retrieval forceps used in interventional surgery, it would be even better. The problem is that without cardiovascular interventional surgery in the oral departnt, it’s impossible to find such specialized instrunts.
They could only hope to find similar tools, hoping everything could be entrusted to the senior sister who just ran out to find items.
Lin Liqiong understood the weight of the responsibility on her shoulders. After running a few laps, she was already drenched in sweat, with her clothes clinging to her, making her feel like she was trudging through a swamp, exhausted to the point of collapse.
Despite the fatigue, she was incredibly excited, thinking that she could finally take on a heavy responsibility and save a life.
This ti, unlike on the train, she wouldn’t let her brain stop thinking. Wiping the sweat away, she decisively opened the drawer and grabbed a bunch of arch wires, carrying them back to the room where they were treating the child in need of rescue.
The other doctors saw the things she brought and marveled at her professionalism as an oral specialist. When she ntioned guidewires, she brought all the various models of orthodontic arch wires.
Arch wires are very similar to guidewires. They co in soft and hard, thick and thin variations, and they are all dical grade.
With the materials ready, the doctors imdiately made a simple improvised catching tool.
