Chapter 77 Ten Minutes

Several assisting doctors frowned at the sight, further doubting Chen Fan's identity as a surgical expert.

One female doctor couldn't help but question, "Dr. Chen, the patient is experiencing ventricular fibrillation, and his blood pressure can't even be measured. Shouldn't we be using the defibrillator and administering adrenaline intravenously right now?!"

Chen Fan glanced at the young female doctor. She was around his age and likely a newly qualified physician.

However, Chen Fan ignored her and proceeded to administer a second injection to the patient.

The second needle was also placed at the patient's heart, and with a special technique, he manipulated the silver needles on the patient's chest.

"Administer one dose of adrenaline intravenously and bring the defibrillator over, quickly!" The female doctor was now completely convinced that Chen Fan was a fraudulent surgical expert and instructed the other doctors and nurses beside her.

A nurse quickly brought over a syringe of adrenaline, and a doctor pushed the defibrillator closer.

"Beep, beep, beep—!"

However, just as the nurse was about to administer the adrenaline, the electrocardiogram, which had flatlined, suddenly began to beat again, and the blood pressure recovered to 80.

"Dr. Xia, the patient's heartbeat has recovered!" the doctor monitoring the equipment exclaimed.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked and quickly looked towards the cardiac monitor.

Indeed, the heartbeat had recovered, and the blood pressure had returned to 80, meaning the patient was alive again!

For a moment, the scene fell silent, with only the "beep, beep, beep" of the equipment audible.

Everyone stared at Chen Fan, dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that the patient's recovery was related to Chen Fan.

"Put all that away. The patient only has ten minutes for surgery. Bring the gauze, hemostats, and the patient's blood plasma. We'll start the surgery now," Chen Fan instructed.

"T-ten minutes?" Everyone was aghast again. Completing such a difficult surgery in ten minutes was sheer fantasy!

Even if all the experts in the capital were brought here to operate together, they wouldn't be able to finish this surgery in ten minutes.

Chen Fan said no more, completely disregarding the rich expressions on the faces of the assisting doctors.

The previous Dr. Xia was the first to snap out of her shock and handed the scalpel to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan looked up at her and nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Dr. Xia's performance.

"Dr. Chen, the patient has severe degloving injuries on both thighs. Should I notify orthopedics to perform an amputation?" Dr. Xia inquired.

She had heard Chen Fan say there were only ten minutes and wanted to find someone to help.

However, Chen Fan shook his head, "With me here, he won't need an amputation."

Dr. Xia was once again astonished by Chen Fan's words. Such severe degloving injuries, and he wouldn't need an amputation?

Degloving injury refers to the separation of skin from the body due to mechanical friction. Such injuries cause all nerve endings in the skin to lose function, leading to skin and muscle necrosis.

If such a condition is not surgically removed or amputated, it can even endanger the patient's life. Moreover, the patient also has comminuted fractures in both legs. With such injuries, Chen Fan claimed no amputation was necessary.

For a moment, all eyes were on Chen Fan. They were all curious about how Chen Fan intended to save the patient.

Chen Fan took the scalpel, made an incision, and then, using a peculiar technique, rejoined all the comminuted bone fragments.

He then used acupuncture on the patient's thighs, accelerating blood flow within the body.

"Dr. Chen, the patient's bleeding has accelerated!" Dr. Xia quickly reminded him.

Chen Fan took the hemostats and suturing needle, located the bleeding vessels, and performed vascular ligation.

What happened next was astonishing.

The comminuted fractures in the patient's thighs were healing at a visible rate. However, as soon as a thin membrane covered the bone gaps, Chen Fan sutured the wound.

Then, he moved on to the other thigh. The surgery on both thighs was completed in just five minutes.

This was Chen Fan's first extremely challenging surgery.

Despite the help of his special eyes and the diagnostic methods in his mind, Chen Fan was still sweating.

Seeing this, Dr. Xia quickly took a sterile gauze and wiped the sweat from Chen Fan's brow.

"Thank you," Chen Fan said, but his scalpel never stopped moving.

Next, Chen Fan proceeded to repair the patient's damaged internal organs.

He sutured the injured liver and spleen. With only a minute and a half remaining.

Chen Fan had no time to rest. He glanced at Dr. Xia and said, "You handle closing the wounds, and I'll treat the degloving injuries."

Dr. Xia, possessing excellent composure, quickly nodded, picked up the suturing needle and thread, and began to close the patient's wounds.

Chen Fan again produced several silver needles and inserted them into several acupoints on the patient's chest.

This was to accelerate the patient's metabolism, and several needles were continuously inserted into the degloved skin of the patient.

Soon, the necrotic skin began to show slight contractions and expansions of the pores.

Each time a needle was inserted, the pores expanded. After the needle was removed, due to the low temperature of the operating room, the pores began to contract.

Chen Fan looked up at the time. Exactly ten minutes!

"Dr. Chen, the patient's heartbeat and breathing are weakening again," a male doctor said in alarm.

At this point, everyone present was stunned. Chen Fan had said ten minutes was the patient's surgical window, and now that ten minutes had passed, the patient's vital signs were indeed showing changes!

Chen Fan remained calm and reached out to remove all the silver needles from the patient.

These needles had been continuously drawing on the patient's potential.

In ten minutes, the patient's internal potential had been completely exhausted, which was why their vital signs were now declining.

But as Chen Fan removed the needles, a miraculous scene unfolded again. The rapidly declining vital signs stabilized back to their previous state.

"Phew!" Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

This was, in essence, Chen Fan's first surgery performed in an operating room, and it was finally complete.

"The surgery is over. Push the patient to the intensive care unit," Chen Fan instructed. He then extended his hands, and Dr. Xia quickly came over to help him remove his surgical gown and gloves.

Chen Fan washed his hands, opened the operating room door, and walked out.

"Dr. Chen, how is my husband?" A woman rushed forward as soon as she saw Chen Fan emerge. A young man, presumably the patient's child, also looked at Chen Fan with anxiety.

"What do you think? The surgery must have failed. Please accept our condolences, family members. After all, the difficulty of this surgery was beyond the scope of what our hospital could handle." Just then, a sarcastic voice rang out, and three middle-aged men walked over slowly.
