Chapter 1958: What Did He Inject?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Then let’s use six!”
Li Chuhan’s gaze never left Lin Yi. “We need to use six extracorporeal circulation machines simultaneously to relieve the pressure on different levels of his blood vessels. This will significantly reduce the risk.”
Her approach shocked everyone present.
Li Chuhan had already made a name for herself in cardiac surgery in Huaxia’s medical community. But today’s treatment plan was yet another eye-opener.
Using six extracorporeal circulation machines simultaneously had never been done before in Huaxia or worldwide.
“Are you sure this will work?” Miao Guofeng asked.
“It’s the only option. If we don’t do it, he’ll be beyond saving in a few hours.”
Li Chuhan replied solemnly, as if making a difficult decision. “I wouldn’t gamble with his life.”
The dozen or so doctors fell silent, agreeing with Li Chuhan’s assessment.
If they continued like this, Lin Yi wouldn’t last a few more hours.
Without any other viable options, Li Chuhan’s treatment plan seemed worth trying.
“If there are no objections, let’s go with Dr. Li’s plan,” Liu Hong said.
“Waiting any longer isn’t an option.”
“Let’s try it,” Miao Guofeng agreed.
“I’ll arrange for the machines. Let’s get him to the operating room.”
The ICU nurses sprang into action, wheeling Lin Yi out.
Meanwhile, outside the ICU, Ning Che and other members of the Central Guard Brigade had arrived.
Upon seeing Ji Qingyan, Li Chuhan quickly put on her mask.
She knew the connection between Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan and wanted to avoid causing trouble.
“Boss, how’s it looking?”
Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo asked anxiously.
“It’s not looking good. We’re taking a big gamble,” Liu Hong said.
“Stay here and wait. The surgery is about to start.”
“Not good…”
“For the specifics, let Director Miao explain,” Liu Hong said.
Miao Guofeng hesitated before speaking.
“Besides his abnormal vital signs, he also suffered three gunshot wounds. None are fatal, but we need to stabilize his vitals first.”
“Gunshot wounds…”
None of them were medical experts and didn’t fully grasp the implications of the abnormal vital signs.
But the mention of gunshot wounds was alarming to everyone.
Ji Qingyan nearly collapsed, barely supported by He Yuanyuan.
“Doctors, please, you must save him. We’ll pay any amount,” Ji Qingyan pleaded.
“Director Ji, please calm down,” Liu Hong interjected.
“It’s not a matter of money. The situation is complicated, but the doctors here are the best in Huaxia. Trust them.”
“Lin Yi ended up like this because of you!”
Ji Qingyan’s emotions suddenly flared, causing her to lose control.
“If he wasn’t working for you, none of this would have happened. From now on, stay away from him. He has nothing to do with you!”
“Senior Sister, calm down. This isn’t the time for that,” He Yuanyuan tried to soothe her.
He Yuanyuan knew that the man in front of her had a pivotal position in Huaxia.
His senior sister was just an ordinary businessperson. Her status and identity could not be compared to this man.
Faced with her accusation, Liu Hong and the Central Guards Brigade silently lowered their heads.
“We didn’t want this to happen either. We won’t forget his contributions to Huaxia.”
“I don’t want to hear this. I just want you to return Lin Yi to me and don’t come looking for him again!”
Ji Qingyan lost control and said,
“Also, let me tell you, if anything happens in the future, you can look for whoever you want. I won’t let Lin Yi care about your matters anymore.”
“President Ji!”
He Yuanyuan and Gao Zongyuan stepped forward and pulled her back. Qin Han and Liang Jinming walked up to Liu Hong.
“She’s a little agitated. Don’t take it to heart. She just said it in a moment of anger.”
“I understand.” Liu Hong smiled bitterly.
“The responsibility for this is on us. Lin Yi shouldn’t have needed to do this.”
“Thank you for understanding. Let them do the surgery first and see how the situation is.”
“Okay.”
Then, Lin Yi was pushed into the operating theater. Ji Qingyan and the Central Guards Brigade were divided into two groups and stood in different areas, anxiously waiting for the results.
In the operating room, Lin Yi was placed on the operating table, with six extracorporeal circulation machines ready and in position.
Additionally, three backup machines were prepared, practically depleting Huashan Hospital’s resources.
Six clinical experts, including Li Chuhan, connected the machines to Lin Yi’s arterial blood vessels at various points.
Nanoscopic filtration systems were installed within the machines. They were uncertain of their effectiveness, but it was still worth attempting.
The moment the machines were activated, Lin Yi’s blood surged into the transparent tubes of the machines like a fountain at an incredible speed.
This sight shocked everyone present, as they had never seen anything like it in their clinical careers.
In their understanding, a person with such extreme vital signs would have suffered ruptured blood vessels and died long ago.
Yet, Lin Yi was miraculously still alive. He was a true medical anomaly.
“Hurry, connect the other three machines! The blood flow rate is too high!” Li Chuhan shouted. “Extend the catheters to increase the blood circulation time.”
Following Li Chuhan’s instructions, the nurses in the operating room quickly prepared the backup extracorporeal circulation machines and connected them to Lin Yi’s arterial blood vessels in three more places.
“Blood pressure dropped to 184!”
“Heart rate at 287!”
Even with nine extracorporeal circulation machines operating simultaneously, the effect was minimal. It did not provide immediate relief.
Li Chuhan turned and pulled out a B-blocker, then injected it into Lin Yi’s bloodstream through the circulation machine.
A few minutes later, Lin Yi’s vital signs fluctuated, showing a slight decrease, but the change was minuscule.
Given the situation, it was like a drop in the ocean, barely making a difference.
Li Chuhan administered another dose in the same manner.
However, the results remained unsatisfactory.
Ultimately, Lin Yi’s blood pressure stabilized at 179, and his heart rate was at 182, which was still dangerously high even when compared to the initial 300 and 198.
As time passed, they administered over a dozen different medications to Lin Yi, but none proved effective.
A sense of despair settled over the team, as they struggled to find a way to bring down his heart rate and blood pressure.
“He injected himself with this? That’s incredibly reckless,” commented Ma Renbo from Concorde Hospital.
