Chapter 1594: Yes, Consciousness Is Clear!
As a child, there was a saying: Master mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and you can travel the world unafraid!
Now the doctors present all have a headache!
Chen Cang occasionally reported coordinates:
"X-axis = 14mm, Y-axis = 4~5mm, Z-axis = 0."
"Well, measure the distance from the target to the origin of the instrument or the central line point: front-back (Y-axis), top-bottom (Z-axis), and inside-outside (X-axis)!"
...
Wu Hui quickly adjusted the targeting instrument.
The nurse on the side was also not idle, whatever Chen Cang said, she wrote it down on the whiteboard behind her exactly as it was.
The whole process was really complicated.
Calculation!
Measurement!
...
Each step made Chen Cang feel overwhelmed.
At this moment, Chen Cang realized his shortcoming: lack of calculation ability!
His memory, accompanied by the talent of photographic memory, indeed had a qualitative leap!
But... his calculation ability, well, was still at the level of his physical education teacher back then!
Otherwise, he would have already entered Xiehe for undergraduate.
Chen Cang sighed!
However, geniuses naturally have their methods.
For instance, spatial sense with four-dimensional images!
With the help of images and the targeting instrument, Chen Cang could clearly and accurately grasp the location of the thalamic ventrolateral nucleus!
But...
A surgery, naturally, cannot be mastered alone, right?
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Cang felt he must improve the instrument.
Otherwise, in future surgeries, they would need a mathematician on site for calculations.
Sure enough!
Looking at the pile of numbers on the whiteboard, like geometric equations, he felt bewildered!
Too difficult!
We are clearly surgeons, why do we have to study math?
Meanwhile, Wu Tongpu pondered deeply, thinking if he should propose at the next political consultative conference that medical students should have more math courses?
Thinking of this made Wu Tongpu shiver, fearing being "executed" by his group of graduate students.
After all, medical students are already worked to the bone; adding a math course would be the end!
At this moment, Chen Cang reported another set of coordinates.
He had already accurately obtained the coordinate values for the target.
At the same time, Wu Hui was swiftly adjusting the targeting instrument.
Adjust the three coordinate axes of the targeting instrument according to the target coordinate data, moving the instrument's coordinate origin sideways, front-back, and top-bottom.
After the adjustment, Chen Cang quickly said: "Alright! Don't move!"
At that moment, the coordinate origin coincided with the target.
This way, Chen Cang could guide the puncture through the surgical instrument carried on the arcuate frame's spherical surface, accurately reaching the target from any entry point!
This is the core charm of stereotactic surgery.
There are too many no-go zones inside the brain.
Successfully reaching them is very challenging, thus, this type of neurosurgery that minimizes damage and allows precise control was developed.
Over here, Chen Cang looked up at the anesthetist: "Mr. Zhou, how much longer?"
Zhou He blurted out: "Almost there, just a few more minutes!"
The anesthetist must accurately control the dosage.
Especially with this type of time-restricted general anesthesia.
In many surgeries, to prevent patient non-tolerance during the procedure, general anesthesia is necessary!
Chen Cang nodded: "Prepare for local anesthesia."
Zhou He nodded.
Time passed second by second!
After about three minutes, Zhou Hongguang suddenly opened his eyes!
Awake!
He looked at Chen Cang with wide eyes: "Am... am I alright?"
Chen Cang smiled: "The surgery has just begun!"
Zhou Hongguang said drowsily: "This anesthetic, it's effective; I feel like I've slept for a day."
The anesthetist Zhou He seriously said: "I'll let you sleep as long as you need to, otherwise... it's my professional negligence."
Chen Cang couldn't help but laugh.
Indeed, that's the case.
After the local anesthesia, Chen Cang wasted no time and continued the surgery!
As the brain needle slowly pierced in, reaching the thalamic ventrolateral nucleus, which is the target point.
Chen Cang suddenly asked: "Director Zhou, what did you have for breakfast yesterday morning?"
Zhou Hongguang was at a loss: "At this time, you're asking me such a question!"
Meanwhile, Wu Tongpu was also extremely flustered inside!
But behind him, Hu Chuanbang and Zhao Furun said in unison: "Dean Wu, don't worry!"
"This is Chen Family's hand testing Director Zhou's nerve function!"
Only then did Wu Tongpu feel relieved!
Zhou Hongguang couldn't help saying: "Tofu pudding, youtiao!"
Chen Cang murmured: "Sweet or salty?"
Zhou Hongguang felt a chill in his head!
However, with his skull opened up, feeling cold seemed inevitable!
Zhou Hongguang couldn't help but say: "You... this is a controversial question!"
Well, consciousness is clear, consciousness is clear, mental functions are normal!
Even distinguishing a controversial topic clearly.
Not bad!
The surgery's success rate just increased by a few points!
Afterward, Chen Cang said to Wu Hui: "Check nerve function, examine the eyes first, check the light reflex..."
In about five minutes, Zhou Hongguang cooperated very well!
"Nerve function is normal!"
Chen Cang nodded: "OK!"
After that, Chen Cang tightened the brain needle.
Ready to release electricity!
At this moment, Chen Cang really wished his "Eye of Beauty" could become the "X-Ray Vision"!
After all, this blind operation... is just too difficult!
"Prepare for the first electric stimulation, observe nerve function!"
"Set up monitoring!"
"Ready, you can start!" Wu Hui quickly said.
Chen Cang nodded and manipulated the switch on the brain needle, instantly generating electricity!
During the surgery, the hardest part is repeatedly stimulating and damaging the targeted lesions.
The difficulty is hard to grasp!
Chen Cang didn't dare to exert much pressure each time; he had to control it very carefully.
Moreover!
Wu Hui over there needed to continuously pay close attention and observe the patient's reactions and clinical effects!
This is crucial for achieving satisfactory results and preventing complications.
The brain needle must not deviate even slightly!
Otherwise, symptoms may not be relieved, and it might even... bring many unexpected complications!
Chen Cang's palms were sweaty!
But the brain needle remained absolutely still!
Seeing Chen Cang's state, everyone behind him, including Wu Tongpu, was filled with tension and unease!
They silently began to offer their prayers!
"Good luck!"
However!
At this moment, Wu Tongpu suddenly had a muscle spasm at the corner of his mouth!
The nurse next to him suddenly widened her eyes.
Even Wu Tongpu and the others showed serious expressions!
Having an issue at this moment would be extremely troublesome!
Even Hu Chuanbang and Zhao Furun unconsciously grasped each other's hands.
It was exceedingly tense!
But at this moment!
Wu Hui was surprisingly calm because Professor Chen had explained everything clearly before the surgery, and many complications were clearly understood. He quickly said:
"Professor Chen, there's a mouth twitch!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately said: "Prepare sedatives!"
"Consciousness dose!"
It's best not to use or use fewer sedatives during the surgery to keep the patient highly alert and cooperative.
However, after such an incident, it must be controlled!
