Chapter 4 - Step forward, bare-handed heart retrieval!

Chapter 4: Emergency! Step forward, bare-handed heart retrieval!Silence filled the emergency department as a needle dropping echoed through the air. The nurses and doctors stood motionless, their astonishment evident. Director Zhou Guorong, their former comrade-in-arms with whom they had shared laughter and fought side by side, lay before them, stabbed and in pain.

A torrent of blood surged, painting their vision a vivid red. Clutching his chest, Director Zhou Guorong collapsed to the ground. The collective shock left everyone’s minds blank, unable to comprehend the unfolding tragedy.

At that moment, a flurry of surgical experiences flashed through Lin Feng’s mind, awakening him instantly. Swiftly, he provided a series of diagnostic conclusions:

The knife’s length is about 25 cm.It pierced straight into the heart, causing a penetrating injury.The wound’s width is approximately 4 cm.Three stabs resulted in three wounds, accompanied by tearing, leading to extensive bleeding.The initial blood spurt amounted to an estimated 1000 milliliters. Considering the internal accumulation, the bleeding volume exceeded 2000–3000 milliliters, if not more!Director Zhou Guorong, weighing around 60 kilograms, possesses a total blood volume of approximately 4200–4500 milliliters.In other words, the bleeding has already surpassed half, or even more, of his total blood volume, necessitating immediate intervention!Concurrent symptoms include decreased blood pressure, cardiac tamponade, and hemorrhagic shock.Dangerous!Dangerous!Dangerous!

In less than a second, Lin Feng’s extensive experience synthesized these diagnostic findings, a horrifying sight that sent shivers down one’s spine. Determination surged within him. “No, I must stop the bleeding immediately!”

However, before Lin Feng could take action, another doctor from a different department, Zhang Yuan, had already grasped the gravity of the situation. He acted swiftly, outpacing Lin Feng and rushing forward.

Zhang Yuan tore open Director Zhou Guorong’s garments with a fierce urgency, exposing the gruesome wound. He held a bottle of iodine solution in his hand, its cap swiftly removed. Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The dark-red iodine solution cascaded directly onto the wound.

Dr. Zhang Yuan promptly donned sterile gloves and inserted his finger into the knife-inflicted cavity.

Using one or more fingers, he exerted pressure on the bone, staunching the profuse bleeding from the wound. Digital pressure hemostasis, when accurately positioned and with adequate pressure, can yield immediate and effective results in stopping bleeding. It is the most efficient and practical method of hemostasis.

However, faced with three wounds, it became impossible to discern which artery had been severed. His fingers alone proved insufficient! Furthermore, the heart continued to beat, complicating matters.

Soon, Dr. Zhang Yuan’s face paled, cold sweat dripping from his brow. With mounting dismay, he realized he had failed to locate the severed artery in the anticipated position. His attempt to halt the bleeding had faltered!

Blood continued to spurt out unabated, drenching Dr. Zhang Yuan’s body and transforming his pristine white coat into a battle-worn robe.

In this dire moment, Director Zhou Guorong’s breathing gradually weakened, his pupils on the brink of dilation. Other doctors hesitated, paralyzed by fear.

Dr. Zhang Yuan, a cardiac surgery specialist, and Director Zhou Guorong’s disciple, possessed specialized knowledge and experience in the field. The remaining doctors, lacking such expertise, dared not act recklessly.

Yet, as fresh crimson blood flowed ceaselessly, life sounded an urgent alarm. And in that very moment, a figure emerged, dashing forward.

Initially, Lin Feng had placed his faith in Zhang Yuan’s abilities, but feeling utterly impotent, he could no longer remain idle. With determined strides, Lin Feng burst into the operating room.

After five seconds, he emerged, donning sterile gloves and clutching a surgical knife. The sight left everyone stunned.

In that instant, Lin Feng’s countenance contorted with ferocity, and his breaths were heavy and difficult. He donned the sterile gloves, raising the surgical knife high. Nurses and doctors alike stood frozen in place, overcome by shock. Their expressions twisted dramatically.

“Lin Feng, what are you attempting?” They cried desperately.

“Don’t do it!”

“You don’t understand anything! Don’t act recklessly!”

Frantic shouts filled the air, but it was too late to halt him. The knife descended!

At that moment, Lin Feng’s repository of 100 world-class surgical experiences sprang into action. In a mere 0.5 seconds, he accurately determined the optimal location and length of the incision based on the three stab wounds. He cut!

After directly slicing open a wound of approximately 10 cm. As the incision parted, the already darkening blood surged forth.

“Oh no!” Lin Feng’s face contorted.

This volume exceeded 2000 milliliters at the very least! In other words, blood loss had surpassed 3000 milliliters.

At this juncture, all the doctors and nurses stood frozen. They were petrified! Too frightened to move! What was Lin Feng doing? He had dared to open Director Zhou Guorong’s chest!

Could he have intended to stem the bleeding with his bare hands? But wait! Wasn’t Lin Feng just an intern? Had he ever performed surgery before? Had Lin Feng lost his mind? To dare such audacity! Could they stop him now? How could they summon the courage? Nervous due to their lack of knowledge, they were utterly bewildered.

Doctors and nurses alike stood dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what was unfolding before their eyes.
