C2155 Artificial Heart

2"Why are you here?"

In the hospital, there was the smell of soda everywhere. When Qin Guan walked into Yutong's office, he saw Yutong not surprised, but a strange expression.

If this was not the hospital, it would make people have other thoughts. Of course, Qin Guan knew that his wife had devoted herself to her career. Although she was taught by her parents, but... He had to be diligent in his studies in order to master all the knowledge. Medicine was the most difficult subject to learn.

Yutong must have been entangled by the recent work. After all, this was the first heart transplant that Yutong performed as the chief surgeon.

"Can't I come?" Qin Guan said with a smile. When he finished speaking, Yutong finally relaxed from her tight work. Her face was full of happiness. "Of course you can. Ask the famous President Qin to come and see me. I am flattered."

"What about them?" Qin Guan asked. After that, Sandra and his group walked out from the door behind them. Even Hee Ribala came with them. Yutong was quite happy to see these people.

"Welcome, very welcome. Sandra, you are also here. That's great. Ah, you already have four children. That's great." Yutong immediately became happy.

"We just came to take a look. We know you are busy. After you get off work, we will gather again. The nearby Quanjude. Now, we are leaving."

Sandra knew that Yutong was very busy, so he did not have much interaction with her. It was enough to meet her here. After all, this was the hospital and Yutong's workplace.

"So, I will take my leave too?" Qin Guan asked tentatively. Then, he glanced at the stack of documents in Yutong's hands and was immediately attracted by them.

"Man-made heart?" Qin Guan asked.

Yutong nodded. "Yes, this is a new field. This heart transplant is so stressful for me!"

It was probably to train Yutong. After all, Qin Guan's parents were old. The most important thing was to train new people. After a large number of heart transplants experts appeared in the country, this would allow the standards in the country to reach the highest.

However, heart transplants were not easy.

Apart from all sorts of complicated technical problems, the most important thing was... It was a suitable heart. If you wanted to transplant it, you had to have a healthy heart. This is not easy to obtain, for example, a traffic accident. It causes brain death, but all kinds of organs are still functioning under the effect of the ventilator. If the family is willing, then they can donate their organs. The probability of this happening was too low. There were countless patients waiting to die every year.

Of course, this also included the patient who came from abroad because of his fame. This patient's condition was already very serious. In fact, according to the records of Parallel Spacetime, this patient... He was about to die. He also had the hope of giving it a try. He had come to the Han Country.

Now, this was also a problem that they were facing. Although there was a heart transplant technique here, there was no qualified heart! The patient saw that his bodily functions were deteriorating. If he did not carry out the transplant, so, he had to rush to the top. He could only use the artificial heart first.

The heart was a never-ending hydraulic pump, constantly pressing the blood to every part of the body, and this artificial heart was naturally beating according to the principle of the heart.

This required technological improvement, in history, this was also 1982, when the people of Y Country first implanted a human heart patient named Ke Lake with an artificial heart called Jia Wei. This was the pioneer of artificial heart transplantation.

This artificial heart was huge because there was no suitable source of energy. It had to use compressed air as a power system. So, it required two 2m long tubes to connect to a machine outside its body, which could keep its heart beating by compressing air.

After the heart was transplanted, Clark felt that it was getting better, not long after the surgery, he could stand up and walk a few steps, eating his own food. However, it didn't take long for the plastic heart to beat in his chest for nearly 13 million times. It maintained life for 112 days.

After that... They had a few more transplants of artificial hearts, but the longest patient had only survived for 620 days. This also meant that this thing could not be used as a real heart.

Therefore, Y Country also made a rule that this kind of manmade heart of Javik was only used as a transitional period. It would prolong the life of a dying patient and wait for the heart to be transplanted.

A real artificial heart must be small enough to be completely stuffed into the human body. At the same time, it also needed qualified energy to maintain it. There were many technical problems that needed to be solved.

"In terms of artificial hearts, our country is already at the advanced level of the world." Yutong said to Qin Guan, "This year, in our Hua Ting's Second Medical University's artificial heart research lab, we have made a major breakthrough in the miniaturization of artificial hearts. This newly developed electric heart can be completely implanted into the body."

This was also a major breakthrough in the domestic medical community, and the person in charge was a lecturer who had returned from studying abroad. Over the past few years, he has presided over the development of this artificial heart. This artificial heart is only 250 kilograms. Less than half the weight of a natural heart.

At the same time, the power lamp that powered the artificial heart was also reduced from a few dozen kilograms to a few kilograms. This was a major breakthrough in the miniaturization of the artificial heart. Of course, he had solved all the other problems, such as heart blood clotting, sealing, and erection.

It could be said that this eye attracted the attention and high appraisal of the world, and now, if he wanted to continue the life of this internationally renowned literary master, he had to rely on this artificial heart.

After hearing Yutong's simple introduction, Qin Guan understood. "You are under a lot of pressure. This is not because you are worried about the surgery of the heart transplant, but because of this artificial heart, right?"

One should know that in the west, in Y Country, the first miniaturized artificial heart had been around 1995. Could the heart that they researched really work? What if something went wrong?

It could be said that patients nowadays had the risk of dying at any time. However, if they died during the transplant, or if they died because of the artificial heart after the transplant, it would be very disadvantageous to them.2

This gave Yutong a lot of pressure.

"Yutong, don't feel too much pressure." Qin Guan touched Yutong's hand and said seriously, "Don't worry, do it boldly. Believe you, you will definitely succeed."

Now, Qin Guan had to encourage his wife.
