Chapter 524
“The wound is getting bigger.”
“Bleeding is increasing.”
“The extracorporeal circulation can’t be maintained.”
Doctors kept updating Arabella on her grandma’s latest condition.
Arabella had just sorted out all the problems when a new one popped up. A heart attack had caused the heart to rupture, making the surrounding myocardium very fragile. The hole in the heart was 3 cm, and only highly skilled suturing could possibly succeed.
“How about we call Dr. Caden?” one of the doctors who wasn’t familiar with Arabella suggested, genuinely believing that Caden was more skilled.
But Caden immediately shut him down, “No one is better suited than her!”
Arabella calmly carried out the suturing operation, ensuring the heart was repaired sturdily.
Those who had never seen her in action were surprised, her suturing technique was seriously top–notch. Likewise, those who had seen her work were amazed all over again, her skills were still unbeatable.
Some of the doctors had never worked with Arabella before, but this time the teamwork was perfect, the operation went smoothly, and was done in just over four hours!
Just when the operation was about to end, one of the doctors suddenly exclaimed, “We can’t remove the extracorporeal circulation, the blood pressure drops immediately!”
Another doctor also noticed a problem, “The blood can’t return to the left atrium!”
“The heart has failed to beat again; blood pressure is dropping!” another doctor stated in surprise.
Everyone was puzzled, what was going on?
All they needed to do was remove the extracorporeal circulation machine, and the whole operation would be perfectly complete! But now this was happening!
Caden quickly recapped the whole operation, “There were no issues during the operation! Arabella’s separation and suturing were all handled very well! All the temporary issues were also addressed in the best possible way!”
“Where did the problem come from?” the other doctors asked one after another.
Having stood for over four hours, their faces were all very tense.
Arabella didn’t answer their questions, instead she ordered, “Continue assisting, bring the ultrasound machine here.”
“Arabella.”
“Bring it here!” Arabella suddenly ordered sternly.
Caden looked at her, whispering softly and sympathetically, “You know as well as anyone, it’s the old lady’s physical condition that can’t keep up with the treatment.”
In other words, Grandma’s body simply couldn’t withstand the stress of the entire operation!
This operation was completely different from the one they had planned for tomorrow.
This one was due to a heart attack that caused the heart to rupture! The mortality rate was extremely high!
Besides, Grandma had other illnesses which were not helping the cause.
It wasn’t that Arabella’s surgical skills were lacking, but that grandma’s life might be nearing its end, perhaps even today.
“Did anyone not understand what I said?” Arabella’s face showed a hint of anger.
Immediately, a doctor brought in an ultrasound machine from outside the operating room. Arabella observed that the ultrasound showed very little blood flow in the left atrium, but at least it wasn’t totally empty!
She could do it; she could pull Grandma back from the brink of death once more.
The sun slowly rose, it was already completely bright outside.
Louisa had spent a restless night, but Arabella had still not returned, not answering calls or replying to her messages. By ten in the morning, she couldn’t stand it anymore and had to call Romeo.
“Romeo, Bella left after two a.m. last night, she seemed in a hurry, and she hasn’t come back yet. I’m worried she’s in danger.”
