What was she hiding, and why didn't she want to tell herself?

As the closest other half, Min Yue was a little hurt.

Chapter 93 Transplantation

The Department of Cardiac Surgery welcomes and sends patients, and patients continue to be hospitalized, and cured patients are also discharged one after another.So is life, full of reunions and partings.

On the third day after Deng Sang's wedding, the general practitioners held a banquet again, but this time it was a farewell banquet - Zeng Yuan finished his studies and was going back to work in his original unit.

Before organizing this dinner, everyone hesitated whether to call Xu Mai and Min Yue. After all, Zeng Yuan had pursued Xu Mai and was afraid that the three of them would be embarrassed.In the end, Zeng Yuan took the initiative to invite the two of them as colleagues.

At the end of the round of toasting, Zeng Yuan walked up to them, showing a little lonely, raised his glass and smiled, "I wish you happiness."

Xu Mai responded politely: "I wish you a bright future."

The love of adults can be afforded and let go, gentle and restrained when loving, and graceful when leaving.

Three cups of wine poured into his throat, everything in the past was wiped out, leaving only the purest blessings in his heart.

In the morning meeting of the shift handover the next day, the doctor on the night shift looked tired, with a rich blue color under his eyelids.Looking at their state, everyone knew that last night was not peaceful.

Sure enough, they said solemnly: "The little girl in the third bed in the intensive care unit had a short bout of ventricular tachycardia and constant ventricular fibrillation last night. After being rescued several times, she didn't dare to leave at all and stayed by the bed until dawn. If it is transplanted, it is hard to say whether it can survive."

Min Yue remembers very clearly that the girl in SICU 3 was only 26 years old, about her age, had just been married for two years, but had been hospitalized for a year and a half.

Before Min Yue entered the First Affiliated Hospital, she had already been admitted to SICU. Sometimes when her condition improved, she would be transferred to the general ward, and it would not be long before she would get worse and be transferred back.

She suffers from hypoplastic left ventricle syndrome (HLHS), which is a very serious congenital heart disease. After birth, she must use drugs to control blood pressure and enhance myocardial function.

About two weeks old, I will undergo the first-stage Norwood operation, which connects the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, allowing the right ventricle to replace the function of the left ventricle and supply blood to the whole body.

When it is four to six months old, a second-stage glenn operation will be performed to connect the pulmonary artery to the superior vena cava.

From one and a half to three years old, another fontan operation was performed to establish the connection between the pulmonary artery and the inferior vena cava.

Complicated congenital heart surgery to change one's life against the sky is extremely difficult, and it is a field close to the gods. There are very few surgeons in the country who can perform this kind of surgery.Even if it goes very well and the three phases are successful, it only prolongs life and cannot be cured. In the end, we still have to wait for a heart transplant.

This is the only treatment, but there are very few donors, and there are many end-stage heart disease patients waiting for life-saving.

The hospital had submitted the application a year ago, and after that there was an unknown long queue, waiting for a suitable heart source.

It's just... this kind of waiting is endless and desperate, and most people have not waited for the last chance.

As her condition deteriorated rapidly, the time left for her dwindled, and her hope faded.

Her husband is the same age as her, and they are high school classmates. They have been in love for many years and have cultivated a fruitful relationship. Before the sweet words are enough, they have to face life and death.

Min Yue saw that young husband more than once, squatting in the corridor alone and crying loudly after visiting the doctor.Her mother-in-law and biological parents would tearfully pray over and over again during the ward rounds to save their daughter, she was still so young.

It's really too young, in my 20s, there are still a lot of dreams that have not been realized, there is still a vast world that I haven't seen, and there are still lovers, parents, and I don't love enough.

Seeing her weak and helpless on the hospital bed, Min Yue would always think of herself after the occupational exposure, how desperate and regretful she was at that time, her mood must be many times worse than herself at that time.

Wanting to help as much as possible, Min Yue actively learned a lot about heart transplantation.When Xu Mai's paper on heart transplant rejection was published in the journal "Nature", she read it immediately.

But after reading it, I didn't feel any more relaxed.After receiving the transplant operation, the recipient needs to take immunosuppressant for life, and go to the hospital regularly to check the heart function and rejection.In addition, due to the side effects of immunosuppressive drugs, the recipient is prone to renal insufficiency and even tumors.

After the transplant operation, can the patients really gain a new life, can they really enjoy life like ordinary people?Min Yue had a question mark in her heart, and was going to ask Xu Mai at night.

No one expected that the god of luck would take care of this young girl when she was at the end of her life.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, when the blood sugar concentration dropped and people felt tired, Min Yue's hands hurt from writing the medical records, so she flicked her wrists, stood up and stretched a long way.

In the middle of yawning, Director Zheng pushed the door open like a gust of wind and came in, hung up the phone, with a serious expression, and said quickly: "The donor has been found!"

All the doctors in the duty room stood up abruptly, but Min Yue forgot to close her open mouth and froze in shock.

"There was a brain-dead patient in the People's Hospital of T City just now, and the system automatically assigned the heart to the girl in the third bed. The heart was removed five minutes ago, and their people took the latest flight and it will be delivered in three and a half hours."

OPO (Organization for Organ Procurement) is responsible for entering organ information into COTRS (Human Organ Distribution and Sharing System), and the system automatically matches recipients according to the length of the queue and the severity of the disease.

After screening, and after a year of waiting, she was finally assigned a heart.

Director Zheng arranged the follow-up work in an orderly manner: "Xiao Deng, go get the family members to sign. Hu Yidao, drive to the airport to pick you up. Xu Mai, get ready to enter the operating room."

Director Zheng dialed the number while talking, and immediately reported to the dean after the call was connected.

After the heart is removed from the donor, it is placed in a freezer transport box for cold storage.Compared with the liver and lung, the heart can tolerate cold ischemia for a shorter time, with an upper limit of only 6 to 8 hours. The longer the ischemia time, the greater the damage to the organ, which directly affects the transplantation effect of the recipient, that is, the survival rate.

Excluding the time spent on transplantation, there is not much time left for organ transfer. For long-distance transfer across provinces and cities, the time is even tighter, and it can be said that every second counts.

Hu Yidao and another deputy chief physician drove to the airport in a private car. Nearly four hours later, a call came: "Got it, let's go back now!"

Director Zheng, Director Li, and the dean all sat in front of the computer to watch the live broadcast of the operation and keep abreast of the progress.Director Zheng answered the phone, turned on the two-way intercom microphone, and told the news to the people in the operating room to get them ready.

From the First Affiliated Hospital to the airport, it takes about an hour without traffic jams. The seamless relay, the time is just right.

However, 10 minutes later, Hu Yidao called again and reported the bad news: "Director, there was a car accident on the way back. Our car was blocked and we couldn't move at all."
