"Rinse

and increase the suction."

"The illumination is not enough, it doesn't matter if it's a phone or something else, just give me more brightness."

Liu Banxia said.

Xu Yino quickly rinsed with saline, and others hurried to help with the suction. Otherwise, the chest cavity would have too much fluid, not only affecting the operation but also reducing the patient's vital signs.

Actually, Liu Banxia is feeling very anxious now. Even after taking the compound to enhance his concentration, he is somewhat flustered during the operation.

He is not caught up in doubt and regret but is thinking about how to separate this blood vessel. However, it is indeed very challenging in terms of operation.

"Chief Director Xu, how's the situation?"

Qiu Wei, who hurried over, looked at the situation on-site and asked nervously.

"Banxia is currently separating the pulmonary artery, intending to use a stethoscope tube to temporarily patch the tear," Xu Chengjun said.

"My God." Qiu Wei was also shocked by Xu Chengjun's words.

"Here's what. To save time, I'll hurry to the hospital now. This way we can save time scrubbing and getting on stage, allowing the patient to be treated as soon as possible," Qiu Wei said.

"Doctor Qiu, you're confident? No need to replace Banxia?" Xu Chengjun asked.

"I can't, but maybe he can. What if he's able to do it? Saving time in scrubbing and preparing the operating room could offer the patient more chances," Qiu Wei said.

"Alright." Xu Chengjun nodded vigorously.

Qiu Wei's words also make sense. Now all considerations must stem from the single perspective of patient treatment.

It's not that Qiu Wei is cowardly or unwilling to take on Liu Banxia's burden. It's just that he is not confident he can perform Liu Banxia's current operation, and he can only handle the follow-up work.

Qiu Wei is indeed a cardiovascular surgeon, and a very competent one at that. However, under current conditions, his judgment is that he can't do it, so there's no need to gamble with the patient's life.

"Rinse again."

Qiu Wei had just left by car when Liu Banxia spoke again.

The surgical field is now smaller because he has already separated part of it. It's truly not easy to operate; the actions must be light and quick. Moreover, during the separation process, he must appropriately release the hemostatic forceps to maintain blood flow.

Now Liu Banxia is fully concentrated, carefully feeling the sensation of the surgical knife's tip. Each minor separation is a tremendous success for him right now.

The outer edge has been separated, but the difficulty of separating the lower part of the blood vessel is greater.

Ding! Strong Stabilizing Compound successfully redeemed, consuming 50 Glory Points

Ding! Consumed Strong Stabilizing Compound, effect lasts for 3 minutes. Gained 8 spirit points, understanding, memory, and concentration increased by 14.29%. Gained 8 strength points, instrument mastery, and instrument effect increased by 18.60%

Time passes both slowly and quickly, the effect of the Ling Stability Compound is already used up, and Liu Banxia can only consume another bottle.

He didn't continue redeeming Ling Stability Compound because he's hoping the surgical knife will work better and more precisely, avoiding damage to the blood vessel and surrounding tissues.

Sweat is accumulating more and more on his forehead, which isn't just due to the heat, but also a byproduct of his extreme inner tension.

"OK, the blood vessel separation is complete, hand me the treated rubber tube."

After more than a minute later, Liu Banxia shouted.

Unexpectedly, the onlookers felt a bit of joy. Even though they couldn't see the operation, it was now proven that the first step was successful.

Xu Yino quickly handed over the processed rubber tube and balloon skin.

Liu Banxia took it, then took the suture line from Su Wenhao and made a perforated knot on the extended balloon skin.

"Everyone pay attention, adjust the lighting equipment you have, I need to thread the backside of the blood vessel." Liu Banxia said.

"Banxia, go ahead with your operation, we'll adjust the lighting," Xu Chengjun said.

"OK, let's begin."

Liu Banxia responded with a sound and continued to operate.

The current operation seems simple but is actually quite difficult.

The blood vessel now clamped has become flattened, to perfectly fit and seal the tear with this half piece of rubber tube requires extending the balloon skin inside.

But when securing, it can't be too tight. If too tight, the elasticity might twist the blood vessel, affecting blood flow.

"OK, I'm about to release the hemostatic forceps. Everyone's lighting needs to keep up; I need to quickly suture. Those on the periphery need to quickly squeeze blood bags and saline to prevent excessive bleeding." After finishing preparations, Liu Banxia said.

Everyone became tense along with him; now the operation is truly critical.

As the hemostatic clamp was released, blood spurted out. Liu Banxia's hands moved swiftly, immediately tightening the suture thread and tying one end of the patch to the blood vessel.

There was no time to think, Liu Banxia's hands kept moving, quickly sewing up the balloon skin.

Xu Chengjun had witnessed Liu Banxia's suturing skills before, back when Liu Banxia was doing freelance surgeries at Jinshui District Hospital. However, if he were to comment now, Liu Banxia's suturing speed was significantly faster than before.

Although this was stitching balloon skin, not as difficult as suturing blood vessels, in this surgical field, with blood constantly gushing out, the difficulty level was much higher than suturing on the operating table.

Because sometimes, when you insert the needle, you might accidentally pierce the blood vessel right next to it.

Xu Chengjun felt a wave of anxiety for Liu Banxia, while those observing were left only with shock in their hearts.

Some had medical knowledge and understood the level Liu Banxia's skills had reached. Others were volunteers responsible only for lighting, yet they also knew this operation was remarkable.

"Release the second hemostatic clamp and rinse it, let's see how much leakage there is."

After completing the tying and suturing, Liu Banxia said.

Everyone's hearts were in suspense, after all this work, whether it would succeed depended on now.

As the hemostatic clamp was removed and saline flushed over, a very fine stream of blood spurted from the lower end of the tube. Liu Banxia picked up the suture thread and tightened it again on that end.

"Alright, transfer to the ambulance. Chief Director Xu, we'll follow. They need to help me cover the chest with drug cloth in the car to prevent exposure and contamination." Liu Banxia said.

Xu Chengjun nodded vigorously, "The roads have been cleared, Qiu Wei has also returned to the municipal hospital to prepare. Banxia, keep it up."

Liu Banxia also nodded, jumping directly onto the vehicle, grabbing one end of the wheeled bed, and pulling the patient onto the car.

"You two don't stand idle, cover the patient's chest with gauze to prevent the wound from being exposed for too long," Liu Banxia said.

"Teacher Liu, aren't you taking your hand out?" Xu Yino asked as she saw Liu Banxia putting his hand inside the chest again.

"I don't know how long the tying effect will last, so I better keep it wrapped with my hand. If there's any more leakage, I can use my finger to block it," Liu Banxia said.

"Master, we need to speed up a bit. Although the gap is temporarily patched, it's temporary, and it's not good for the patient over time."

"Okay, sit tight."

The driver responded readily.

Of course, he knew full well that he needed to drive at full speed now, as the patient's life was in his hands.

Xu Yino and Su Wenhao were still binding, while Liu Banxia slightly frowned.

The worrying situation still occurred, as there was some leakage, even though the blood flow wasn't large. For the patient now, not a drop of blood could be wasted.

However, he didn't inform anyone about this, because even if the driver knew, it wouldn't help, and it might make him nervous, affecting his driving skills.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the municipal hospital's emergency department, doctors waiting there immediately gathered around.

"Need to send directly to the operating room, I have to follow." Liu Banxia said after jumping off the car, holding the patient's wheeled bed. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

This startled everyone, as the patient's chest was wrapped in gauze and this doctor's hand was also wrapped within it.

But they understood the urgency of the situation, there was no time for curiosity, as seen from Liu Banxia's blood-stained white coat.

"You got here so fast?" Qiu Wei, just done scrubbing his hands and putting on clothes, exclaimed in surprise seeing Liu Banxia and others arriving.

"Gotta hurry, my fingers are starting to go numb," Liu Banxia said.

"Okay, move the patient, cut gauze, set up equipment," Qiu Wei instructed.

He really didn't expect Liu Banxia to have completed such a complex operation in such a short time.

Once the gauze was cut open and Liu Banxia took his hand out, he let out a sigh of relief. This patient should be saved, but it's unclear if there will be complications.

Ding! Advanced Task: Respected Surgeon (5/5)

New title acquired, will be awarded when the host level reaches sixty

Liu Banxia blinked, his heart filled with both surprise and frustration.

Surprised because he didn't expect the surgery he longed for to be completed this way. In his heart, he hadn't regarded this rescue surgery as high-difficulty, as it was just a simple operation.

But it was done, relieving his concerns. Otherwise, even if experience was sufficient, he couldn't reach level sixty.

Frustrated over what? He always thought there would be more rewards and changes after completing the career-switch task. But now, there's nothing.

Could it be because he hasn't reached level sixty yet?
