Chapter 1039 Ye Guoliang is discharged from the hospital
Chen Yang slept in the lounge for five hours before being awakened by the twilight coming in through the window.
After extreme mental exhaustion, deep sleep is the best medicine for recovery. The high-intensity surgery, especially the mental and physical exhaustion of the entire operation, and the high mental tension during the acupuncture, really made Chen Yang quite exhausted after the operation.
Chen Yang sat up, stretched his stiff body, and felt the renewed strength within him. Every detail of the operation was still crystal clear in his mind, especially the critical ventricular fibrillation rescue. The intense needle sensation from his fingertips twisting the silver needle seemed to linger.
Walking out of the lounge, Chen Yang saw Wen Manlu walking in with an insulated lunch box. The golden light of the setting sun shone on her through the window, outlining a gentle and peaceful silhouette.
"Awake? How do you feel?" Wen Manlu's eyes were full of concern. She put the lunch box on the desk and asked Chen Yang with a smile.
"Much better, just a little hungry."
Chen Yang smiled and took the lunch box, which contained warm chicken soup with wontons and a few light side dishes. "My Lulu really understands me. As soon as I opened my eyes, the meal was here."
"Mom made chicken soup specially for you, saying that she wanted me to nourish you well."
Wen Manlu arranged the food and served Chen Yang some soup while saying, "The operation... was so thrilling. I was watching the live broadcast at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and my heart almost jumped out of my chest, especially when the ventricular fibrillation occurred..."
"Near miss."
Chen Yang washed his hands, sat down and prepared to eat, saying, "Thank you again. It was because of your reminder that I realized that the Neiguan acupoint can open the pericardium meridian. Strong stimulation can invigorate the heart yang, unblock the meridians and restore rhythm..."
"You're so sweet-talking, Dr. Chen, do you still need me to remind you?" Wen Manlu said with a smile.
"Sometimes people still need to remind you, especially important people..." Chen Yang said with a smile.
Wen Manlu couldn't help but glare at Chen Yang. Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the office.
As the two were talking, Gao Anliang walked over, his face showing uncontrollable excitement and a hint of relief after exhaustion: "Director Chen! You're awake! That's great! How do you feel?"
"Fully recovered." Chen Yang put down his lunch box: "How is the patient?"
"Hold on!"
Gao Anliang smiled and said, "Director He is still in the ICU. He just sent back word that after taking the Chinese medicine you prescribed, the patient's urine output has improved significantly, and the NT-proBNP (a marker of heart failure) has begun to decrease upon reexamination! Blood pressure and heart rate are both very stable! Director Qiu from Haizhou was so excited that he almost cried, saying that their Haizhou Provincial Hospital was truly blessed this time!"
"Director Qiu is so dramatic." Wen Manlu said with a smile.
Gao Anliang and Chen Yang couldn't help laughing. Qiu Yunshan had always wanted to get the surgery, but he didn't get it.
The main reason is that this is the first battle of the center's cardiothoracic surgery department. Unlike Ye Guoliang's previous case, for this kind of operation, Chen Yang and He Yonghua will definitely consider their own people first. Only when their own people are proficient will they occasionally give outsiders a chance.
"That's good." Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. This was just the first step in a long journey.
"Director Chen, there's a huge noise outside!"
Gao Anliang handed over a tablet computer with an email interface displayed on the screen. "Take a look at this! It's from Professor Robert, Director of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. He wants you and Director He to give a special presentation at the New York International Cardiovascular Surgery Summit (NYC Summit) on the topic of 'Innovative Surgical Treatment Strategies for Complex Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) and Integrated Management of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine During Perioperative Periods'!"
Chen Yang glanced at the English email which was written in extremely respectful and praiseworthy language.
In the email, Robert expressed his admiration for the innovative technology demonstrated in the live broadcast of the operation and the "incredible emergency intervention of traditional Chinese medicine", calling it "one of the most impressive surgical achievements of the year" and eagerly looking forward to in-depth exchanges with Chen Yang in New York.
"These foreigners are really quick." Chen Yang said with a smile.
In fact, this is exactly the effect that Chen Yang wanted when he agreed to the high-standard live broadcast - to loudly engrave the name of Kyoto International Medical Center on the lintel of the world's top medical hall.
"More than just Cleveland!"
Gao Anliang excitedly swiped the screen, "Professor Muller from the Berlin Heart Center in Germany, the heart failure project team at the Mayo Clinic, and even from Tokyo Juntendo..."
"Professor Borg called again, saying that the New York conference organizers have listed your report as a 'must-attend' event. Many top experts who originally didn't plan to attend have changed their schedules at the last minute!"
"Director Chen, you are truly internationally famous now." Gao Anliang said with a smile.
"As expected."
Chen Yang nodded and said with a smile, "Leave it to Director He. This report not only represents me personally, but also represents our center and our country's latest achievements and unique paths in the treatment of complex cardiovascular diseases, especially in the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. You must prepare well."
"I understand!" Gao Anliang nodded with a smile.
......
Every day of Zhang Tiezhu's recovery after the operation touches the hearts of countless people and continues to bring great prestige to Kyoto International Medical Center.
On the third day after the operation, Zhang Tiezhu was successfully weaned from the ventilator and breathing steadily on his own. His heart function remained stable at class II-III (NYHA), with an EF value of around 45%.
The most surprising thing is his mental state. Although he is still very weak, his eyes are bright and he can communicate in a simple way.
When Qiu Yunshan gave him a thumbs-up through the glass window of the ICU, the old man, who was suffering from illness, tried hard to force a smile and silently said with his mouth: "Thank you... Thank you..."
Zhang Tiezhu's recovery was largely due to the treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Xun Jiahong and Lin Yi fine-tuned the prescriptions based on the tongue and pulse every day. In addition to red ginseng and astragalus, which greatly replenish the vital energy, they added the three immortals (hawthorn, Shenqu, and malt) to aid digestion and prevent greasy food from hindering the stomach.
Combined with moxibustion on Guanyuan, Qihai, Zusanli and other acupoints to warm the yang and strengthen the foundation, the patient's appetite gradually recovered, the edema in the lower limbs basically subsided, and muscle strength began to slowly recover.
Under the leadership of He Yonghua, the cardiothoracic surgery medical team also monitors and analyzes the patient's condition every day, fine-tunes the volume, electrolytes, and coagulation function, and strictly implements infection prevention measures, allowing Zhang Tiezhu to smoothly pass through the early stages when problems are most likely to occur.
Just as Zhang Tiezhu was slowly recovering, Ye Guoliang, who had come to the hospital a month earlier than Zhang Tiezhu, was also discharged from the hospital.
"Doctor Chen, Director Zhong, thank you, thank you."
Ye Guoliang's son Ye Weiqiang bowed deeply to Chen Yang and others, his eyes red.
"Rest well after you go back and continue to recuperate according to the doctor's instructions. If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to call and ask for regular checkups at the local hospital." Chen Yang said with a smile.
Ye Guoliang was also the first patient to recover and be discharged from Kyoto International Medical Center after its opening. Chen Yang and others were also in a very good mood.
