Chapter 1007: Is Senior Zeng okay?
"Director Chen, the situation is not optimistic."
When Chen Yang saw Zhong Dongyang, Zhong Dongyang looked solemn.
"Although the patient's vital signs are relatively stable, fever, abnormal drainage fluid, incomplete recovery of coagulation function, and fluctuating liver function indicators are all high-risk signs of postoperative liver failure. We are strengthening anti-infection treatment, continuing plasma transfusions to improve coagulation, and using liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering drugs, but... the effects seem limited."
Zhong Dongyang frowned as he spoke. "Postoperative liver failure is the most feared complication after this type of extended resection. The patient's pre-existing condition is too poor, the remaining liver is small, and he's been through such a long and demanding surgery... We've taken all the preventative measures, and now it depends on whether his liver can survive this."
Chen Yang stood in front of the bed and carefully checked Ye Guoliang's condition.
The patient was still in a sedated state, wearing a ventilator. His complexion was even darker than the jaundice. Although the numbers on the monitor were still within a safe range, they revealed a sense of fragility.
Chen Yang reached out and placed his hand on Ye Guoliang's wrist that was exposed outside the quilt. His pulse was deep, thin and rapid, with a feeling of weakness. Although the tongue could not be observed due to the intubation, Chen Yang had already made a judgment based on the symptoms.
"Western medicine supportive treatment will continue, maintaining a stable internal environment and strengthening monitoring."
As Chen Yang spoke, he looked at Xun Jiahong and Lin Yi beside him. "Director Xun, Doctor Lin, the patient's current symptoms have changed. The surgery has severely damaged Qi and blood, and the vital energy is about to be lost. The blood stasis and toxins have not been cleared, and dampness and heat have resurfaced. There are also signs of heat and toxins invading the body. This is a dangerous combination of 'degeneration' (Qi and blood loss) and 'closure' (heat and toxins are blocked). The most urgent task is to 'replenish Qi and consolidate the loss, clear heat, cool the blood, and detoxify, while also removing blood stasis and promoting dampness.'"
Xun Jiahong immediately understood and said after a moment's hesitation, "I understand. I suggest that we continue with the original technique and treat the symptoms first."
"First, use more Qi-tonifying and anti-defecation herbs: 20g of Western ginseng (stewed separately and taken frequently), and quickly boil a single ginseng soup (30g of red ginseng) and keep it ready at all times to prevent fainting. Add 80g of raw astragalus to replenish vital energy and expel toxins."
"Second, strengthen the heat-clearing, blood-cooling and detoxification effect: add 50g of buffalo horn shreds (pre-decocted), 30g of honeysuckle, 20g of forsythia, and 10g of coptis root to enhance the heat-clearing and detoxifying effect. Combined with half a pill of Angong Niuhuang Wan, take twice daily via nasogastric tube or enema to clear the heart and open the orifices, preventing heat toxins from invading the pericardium."
"Third, adjust the blood stasis and dampness removal: continue to use red peony root and salvia miltiorrhiza, but stop using Panax notoginseng powder (to prevent excessive blood circulation and aggravate the potential risk of bleeding). Add 30g of Imperata root and 50g of Artemisia capillaris (to be added later) to strengthen the dampness removal and jaundice reduction. Continue to use Poria cocos and Alisma orientalis."
Lin Yi added: "The acupuncture regimen also needs to be adjusted. Needle Ren Zhong and Nei Guan (strong stimulation) to awaken the mind, open the orifices, and strengthen the body. Puncture the Shi Xuan acupoint to release blood and relieve heat and detoxify. Continue needling Zu San Li and San Yin Jiao to strengthen the body."
"Okay, let's follow this plan and execute it immediately!"
Chen Yang decisively decided: "Closely observe the reaction after taking the medicine, especially changes in body temperature, consciousness, drainage fluid, and coagulation function. We are racing against time!"
The reason why Chen Yang asked Xun Jiahong and Lin Yi was to test their ability to respond.
Among the people in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the Medical Center, apart from Chen Yang and Gao Anliang, Lin Yi and Xun Jiahong are the most skilled.
There are few patients in the medical center now, but this situation will not last long. The first thing Chen Yang has to ensure is that everyone grows up as quickly as possible.
Seeing that Chen Yang quickly came up with a plan, Zhong Dongyang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Western medicine has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, but precisely because of its rapid development, it has actually entered a bottleneck period at this stage.
Western medicine has long had relatively mature plans for patients after liver cancer surgery, but once the treatment plan is ineffective, it becomes very difficult to make a breakthrough.
Whether it was Wilson before or Ye Guoliang now, postoperative rehabilitation with Western medicine felt very difficult and they could only place their hopes on traditional Chinese medicine.
"Doctor Chen, my dad?"
Ye Weiqiang asked nervously.
"Some of the current situations are normal reactions after surgery. Don't worry too much." Chen Yang comforted.
"Thank you, Director Chen."
Ye Weiqiang thanked him and said, "Actually, today, many friends and classmates have sent me messages saying that my dad is enjoying the treatment of a top international billionaire. This is my dad's luck."
What Ye Weiqiang said is not an exaggeration.
Wilson had spent a lot of effort to get the surgery done before. He first contacted Mayo, and Borg ran around everywhere. Wilson also paid a lot of price to invite Chen Yang.
Not to mention the medical fee paid to Chen Yang, the new equipment at the International Medical Center alone is worth a lot of money.
Ye Guoliang's condition is even more serious than Wilson's, but he enjoys similar treatment as Wilson. It is no exaggeration to say that he enjoys the treatment of one of the world's top billionaires.
After all, when the International Medical Center was established, it was not positioned as an ordinary outpatient hospital.
If ordinary hospitals belong to ordinary classes in ordinary schools, then international medical centers belong to key classes in key universities, and the threshold is quite high.
In other words, the Kyoto International Medical Center is not simply aimed at curing diseases and saving lives, but is a medical research center whose purpose is to connect with the international community, improve the overall medical level in the country, cultivate cutting-edge Chinese medicine talents, and expand international influence.
It is a special pilot medical institution.
"Don't think too much. Just stay with your dad and talk to him more when you have nothing to do." Chen Yang comforted him.
Chen Yang has classes at Kyoto University of Chinese Medicine today.
After leaving Ye Guoliang, Chen Yang went to Kyoto University of Chinese Medicine.
"Brother Chen."
Chen Yang had just parked the car and got out when he heard someone calling him. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Yao Xinting.
"Why are you at school today?" Chen Yang walked over and asked with a smile.
Yao Xinting and Wen Manlu are in the same grade and graduated with a master's degree in June.
"My supervisor recommended that I stay in school, and I am now an assistant lecturer at the school," said Yao Xinting.
"congratulations."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Then from now on, it will be Teacher Yao or Professor Yao."
"Brother Chen, please stop laughing at me."
Yao Xinting smiled and looked at Chen Yang, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"Is there something wrong? If so, just tell me. We are friends, don't be polite." Chen Yang said with a smile.
“No…”
Yao Xinting asked a little embarrassedly: "That is, how is Senior Zeng doing recently?"
"Zeng Yunhui?"
Chen Yang smiled and said, "That's great. Why, don't you have WeChat?"
"I......."
Yao Xinting was obviously a little embarrassed.
"Is Zeng Yunhui ignoring you?" Chen Yang asked.
Chen Yang had already noticed that Yao Xinting liked Zeng Yunhui.
"No, I've just been busy lately and haven't seen Senior Zeng."
In fact, after Wen Manlu got married, Yao Xinting sent messages to Zeng Yunhui twice, but Zeng Yunhui didn't reply, and Yao Xinting was embarrassed to send messages again.
