godfather of surgery

Chapter 1072 It’s done!

Su Qinghe was busy with official duties and could not stay here for long, so he took the time to go home to visit his old father, who usually only came back once every many years.

As a family of aristocrats, the Su family has outstanding young members. From the Ming Dynasty to the present, the family has passed down the tradition of farming and studying, and there are no playboys in the family. This shows that the family education is very successful.

In Su Qingyun's generation, the four brothers are all very outstanding. Su Qingyun is now an academician. The eldest brother Su Qingshan has been promoted from Nandu Province to the imperial capital. The third brother Su Qingyu is the boss of a large domestic pharmaceutical company. The fourth brother is Su Qinghe, who has been developing in the army and is now a general.

Su Nanchen, a young man of the next generation, was the top scorer in science in Nandu Province in the college entrance examination and graduated from the eight-year program at Union Medical College. Judging from his current development momentum, he will not lag behind his father in academics. His daughter-in-law Lin Lan, who was 28 years old at the time, was already a doctoral supervisor at Nandu Medical University.

The daughter is just an ordinary nursing undergraduate, which seems to be far from what Professor Su expected of her when she was a child. At that time, Su Qingyun and his wife also hoped that Su Yixuan could be admitted to a top medical university, such as Peking Union Medical College, Imperial Capital Medical University, West China University of Medical Sciences, Nandu Medical University, Fudan University, etc., but they did not expect that she chose nursing, and was unwilling to take the postgraduate entrance examination. She went out to work after graduating from college.

Everyone has their own aspirations and one cannot force anything. As Su Qingyun and his wife only had this precious daughter in the family, they finally let it go and let her be. As long as she was happy, that was more important than anything else.

Now it seems that my daughter is making a fortune by taking a roundabout way, and she has found such a dazzling husband. Su Qingyun knows that with the ability of this young man Yang Ping, it is only a matter of time before he becomes an academician or a Nobel Prize winner. Not to mention the future, his current academic achievements are more than enough.

"Your wedding is coming up soon. I won't be able to make time for it, but your aunt will definitely come. Uncle would like to apologize to you here."

In recent years, Su Qinghe has devoted himself to his work and seldom goes home. During the holidays, he just video chats with his grandfather to wish him a happy new year. He has not been home for many years, and sometimes he only asks his wife to bring the children back home.

Su Yixuan immediately said, "Uncle, please don't say that. Work is more important." These uncles and aunts really loved her because there was only one girl among the four families.

Su Qingyun also said: "Fourth brother, it's too polite to say that."

Su Qinghe sighed and said, "We only have this one precious daughter in our family. Logically, she must come, but you know my job, brother. I won't explain it any more. If it weren't for Professor Chang's matter, I wouldn't have come back today."

Everything was said without words, and Professor Su immediately invited everyone to eat.

Professor Chang Qirui is in charge of an important national defense project. He is the absolute core figure of the project. It can be said that without him, the project would never have progressed so smoothly. Now that it is more than halfway through, such an accident has happened. Su Qinghe feels sad, both for the talent and for the delay of the project.

Millions of scientific and technological workers have worked day and night to make the country's scientific and technological achievements fruitful. Now such an important talent is lying in the hospital bed facing a 100% mortality rate. Su Qinghe still feels heartbroken and unwilling.

This niece's husband said there was a glimmer of hope. I don't know whether it was true or false. Maybe it was more of a comforting remark. However, this niece's husband's reputation is already very loud in the capital, and several of his old leaders often mention this name.

"Xiao Yang, is there really any hope for Professor Chang?" Su Qinghe couldn't help but ask again at the dinner table.

Yang Ping answered truthfully: "I can't guarantee a high success rate for the new method, but there is great hope."

Since there is still a glimmer of hope, we should try our best. Su Qinghe said: "If you need any support, just ask. We will fully support you."
-
Before leaving Nandu, Su Qinghe once again came to the ICU to visit Professor Chang. It was already night, but the hospital was still brightly lit.

The ICU is like daylight. There is no distinction between day and night here. Doctors and nurses are busy all night long. There is a real-time monitoring video of the patients in the ward on the monitoring screen.

Su Qinghe was a leader after all, no matter how low-key he was, he was always surrounded by many people, including secretaries, guards, etc. He asked these people to wait outside so as not to interfere with the work of the medical staff, and he went into the ICU ward with Professor Su and Yang Ping.

Professor Chang is now connected to many wires and various tubes. Because he is in a coma, his breathing relies on tracheal intubation and ventilator. But fortunately, his vital signs remain stable.

The country attaches great importance to talents, especially talents like Professor Chang. If there is any abnormality in the annual physical examination, experts will be organized to discuss it repeatedly, but there is still a possibility that something is missed.

"I hope there is a chance of saving him. Professor Yang, please help me."

Su Qinghe couldn't stay for long either. He had to take a special plane back in the evening and hurried back to the capital after the visit.

"I will do my best." Yang Ping said when he parted with his fourth uncle.

After seeing off his fourth uncle, Yang Ping returned to the ICU ward. The doctor on duty reported to him that the latest viral antibody titer had increased again.

The patients' rabies antibody titers have been rising, which makes everyone very excited. This shows that the human immune system has a chance to eliminate the rabies virus, which is a glimmer of hope for success.

In fact, Yang Ping's treatment idea is very scientific. It grasps some of the essence of the problem of rabies and regards brain protection as the core. In the past, rabies patients died 100%, not because the virus could not be eliminated, but because the brain was damaged in the process of eliminating the virus. Now the brain is protected, allowing the immune system to fight the virus without hesitation, and keep fighting until the winner is determined.

As long as the patient's rabies virus antibodies continue to rise, the virus content in the blood will gradually decrease.

Now, the war between the virus and the human immune system has begun to reverse, with the human immune system gaining the upper hand and launching a major counterattack.

The treatment details are different at different stages, and now that the human immune system has begun to counterattack, the treatment plan must also change.

Yang Ping replaced the short-acting midazolam with the long-acting diazepam. The purpose of using short-acting midazolam at that time was to facilitate the adjustment of dosage at any time. Short-acting drugs have a short duration of action and will produce effects quickly once the dosage is adjusted.

Long-acting drugs are different. Even if the dosage is changed, it will take a relatively long time, sometimes even many days, for the effect to change.
-
Yang Ping has been going to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nandu once a day in the past few days. The patient's condition is quite optimistic. As the virus antibody titer increases, the virus concentration is also getting lower and lower.

Slowly, Yang Ping began to reduce the dosage of diazepam and ketamine, and began to slowly wake the patient up from his coma. As the drugs were gradually reduced, the patient's coma gradually eased.

One morning, the patient opened his eyes, moved his eyeballs a few times, and then blinked.

The nurse jumped for joy and immediately reported it to the doctor. The doctor on duty reported it to Director Luo, who immediately called Yang Ping. When Yang Ping heard that the patient had woken up, he immediately rushed to the ICU. At this time, Professor Su was already in the ICU.

"He's awake, he's awake, his eyes are moving." Director Luo was as excited as a child. He pulled Yang Ping into the ICU. Yang Ping hastily put on the isolation suit.

"Call his name!"

Call his name into his ear to see if there is conscious eye movement or unconscious, such as if the brain nerves have been damaged and the eye muscles are twitching unconsciously.

Director Luo called out to the patient: "Chang Qirui!"

As he was shouting, he actually blinked, and it was obvious that he understood his own name.

Become!

He succeeded in challenging the 100% mortality rate. At least now his virus is decreasing and his brain nerves look good. The idea of ​​letting the nervous system hibernate to protect itself while the virus and the immune system are fighting fiercely was correct. Now the virus is almost eliminated and the brain is still fine.

"Xiao Yang, does this mean that our method is effective?" Professor Su was also a little excited.

Yang Ping nodded: "Yes, we succeeded!"

"Hey, you, record the video on your phone, quick! Call Director Yuan and ask him to come and see it." Director Luo was very excited, but he had not forgotten the brothers who fought side by side with him.

"Call her family members in!" Yang Ping ordered a doctor nearby. The doctor thought he had misheard: "Professor Yang, do you want to call the patient's family members in here?"

"Yes, come back soon."

Yang Ping patted him on the shoulder.

Soon, the patient's wife was brought in, because if the treatment was successful, Professor Chang's eyes would react when he saw his most familiar family member.

His wife was also obviously in a state of excitement: "Professor, doctor, what do you want me to do?"

When he saw his husband open his eyes and he was fine, he asked, "Is this getting better? Is this getting better?"

“Yes, he’s getting better. Take off your mask, come closer to show him, and then call him. Just call him the way you usually call each other.” The patient’s wife came to the bed, took off her mask with trembling hands, and then came closer to him.

"Hubby, hubby, it's me!"

As his wife called out to him, his eyes blinked faster and the corners of his mouth even moved, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Success! One hundred percent success!"

Become!

Yang Ping kept telling himself in his heart that this was a solution he came up with temporarily after the consultation. At that time, he felt that it was feasible in theory, but he did not expect that it would be successful when it was first applied in clinical practice.

"Photograph!"

“Record a video!”

"Family members can leave now. We will talk to you later. Your husband can be saved. My new method was successful." The patient's wife wanted to stay a little longer, but she had already been taken out by a female doctor.

No matter whether there will be any sequelae in the future, there is no problem in saving him now.

"What? Success!"

At this time, Director Yuan from the infectious department came in a hurry, tying the strap of his mask while walking inside, taking two steps at a time. When he saw the patient waking up, he knew it was a success.

"This is the world's first rescued rabies case, right? It has never been vaccinated? This is a breakthrough from zero. Don't forget the paper," Professor Su reminded everyone.

"The first one, the first one!" Director Luo replied.

Yang Ping stood beside the bed and stared at the numbers on the monitor. Everything was stable. Unexpectedly, it was actually successful.

"Did my nursing team also win first place?"

"of course."

"As for me, I am the one who uses the anesthetic."

“I was the first person to use medication.”

"I made the diagnosis."

“Therapy was the first thing I started.”

Everybody was happy, half joking, and their hearts were filled with immense pride. How could they not be happy about being the first rabies patient rescued in the world?

"Xiao Yang, what do you think? Do you want to wait until things stabilize before I report to the higher-ups?" Professor Su was more calm, not dancing with joy like the others.

Yang Ping nodded: "Yes, wait a moment."

Professor Su also thought so. It would be better to be cautious and observe for a period of time before reporting back.

"Everyone, please pay attention to discipline. Professor Chang's identity is quite special. You must keep it confidential and not disclose it to anyone," Director Luo reminded everyone.

Therefore, those who like to post on WeChat Moments are not doing anything rash. They are all behaving honestly. This kind of thing is not to be taken lightly. If it is leaked casually, you may lose your job and may even be suspected of committing a crime.

"What should we do next?" Director Luo asked Yang Ping. In his eyes, the young man in front of him seemed to have grown several times taller, like a giant.

A case with a 100% mortality rate was actually brought back to life by him. Don’t you think this is magical, amazing, and awesome?

"Next, we need to continue to dynamically monitor the virus content in the body to see whether it continues to decrease until it disappears, or whether it rebounds. This is the most important thing." Yang Ping explained that as long as there is no rebound now, the prognosis will definitely be good.

"We can't take it lightly. We also need to pay attention to other issues, such as water and electrolyte balance, acid-base balance, and the functions of important organs such as the liver and kidneys. These basic issues must be taken seriously, so as not to capsize in the gutter."

Director Luo wrote it down and reminded the other doctors and nurses: "Did you hear that? Write it down. Everyone should stay alert during this period and never relax. We must strive for the final victory."

"Yes, strive for the final victory." Everyone responded.

The image of the half-human, half-god Professor Yang has now become more concrete in everyone's mind, because we had only heard about him before, but now we have seen with our own eyes that he brought back a patient who was 100% sure to die.

The legend that Yang Ping snatched people from the King of Hell seems to be true, as this patient was snatched from the King of Hell.

These doctors and nurses recalled that every time Yang Ping stood beside the bed, he squinted his eyes, either staring at the data on the monitor or glaring at the patient. Now it seems like he was negotiating with the King of Hell about how to get the patient back.

"Professor Yang, please help me check on the other patients when you have time."

Director Luo immediately grabbed Yang Ping.

Those few are basically hopeless, the causes are various, but the symptoms are similar, they are almost hopeless, all treatments are almost the best they can do. One is estimated to be brain dead, but no specific assessment has been done yet.

Now Director Luo thinks that Yang Ping can save anyone. Saving one person is saving one, and saving a few people is also saving them. Anyway, the people are here, so just pull them over to have a look.
