Chapter 58 Rare Diseases: Scimitar Syndrome(1/2)

"Ding! You have completed an exercise!"

"Proficiency in cardiac rupture repair surgery 0.5%."

"Your ranking has been updated!"

"Master's Heart Rupture Repair: Linhai No. 1 Hospital Ranked 1, Linhai City Ranked 3, Baiyun Province Ranked 16, Daxia Country Ranked 132, Global Ranking: 1000"

Xu Qiu was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, just a 0.5% improvement in proficiency increased his provincial ranking by 3, and his national ranking by more than a dozen places.

Calculating this way, he would be able to improve this surgery to a perfect level in just two hundred times.

only……

The surgical practice seems to take just over half an hour.

However, going through the entire process requires simulating various unexpected surgical accidents.

It consumes a lot of energy!

Even, it is no less than completing a real surgery!

"Let's practice something else."

Xu Qiu changed the set of instruments and began to practice simple suturing.

Soon, the time came to midnight the next day.

"Ding, you get daily task*1!"

Xu Qiu paused, his eyes shining.

Did you even unlock daily tasks?

He quickly checked.

Daily tasks:

Simple: complete the diagnosis of fifty patients. (optional)

General: The cumulative stitching length on the day reaches one meter. (Optional)

Difficulty: Complete a fourth-level surgery. (Optional)

Xu Qiu analyzed it.

For simple tasks, his number of outpatient visits in half a day is at least sixty or seventy.

It's really not difficult.

General tasks are a little bit abnormal.

For example, in a caesarean section with a large incision, the wound is only about 10~15cm.

If he accepts this task, it means that he will have to perform at least a dozen surgeries and perform all the sutures before he can get the total length of one meter.

certainly--

He can also choose to go to the treatment room, which specializes in all kinds of sutures.

Such as classmates fighting, father and son fighting, husband and wife fighting, and mesangial tears when young lovers fight with no clothes on.

However, these are basically the jobs of residents and interns.

He is a king of hospital doctors, but he is overkill when he goes there.

"Waiting for a level four surgery." Xu Qiu retracted her thoughts and planned to receive the task later.

"Signed in first."

Xu Qiu clicked to sign in.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations on completing your sign-in at Linhai No. 1 Hospital!"

"Your impact factor is 5.9, and your rewards will receive a moderate bonus! Reward richness * 5.9!"

"You get: Master-level cardiac artificial blood vessel implantation!"

Xu Qiu was pleasantly surprised.

Another level 4 cardiothoracic surgery!

The application scope of cardiac artificial blood vessel implantation is very wide.

Vascular stenosis, vascular calcification, arteriovenous malformation, abnormal shunting, etc. are all surgical indications for artificial blood vessel implantation.

A little more sharp,

It also comes in handy for heart transplants, lung transplants, etc.



As the master-level knowledge was completely absorbed by Xu Qiu.

He gained a lot of relevant surgical experience and insights in an instant.

Muscles are also remodeling.

Mechanical memory is being built.

It has completely changed into a shape suitable for master's artificial blood vessel implantation.

"Aortic stenosis, coronary heart disease, scimitar syndrome..." Numerous diseases suitable for artificial blood vessel replacement popped up in Xu Qiu's mind.

At this moment, a picture suddenly flashed through Xu Qiu's mind!

Xu Qiu suddenly put down the equipment, his expression a little solemn.

Just now, he thought of Miao Yue who had checked in the obstetrics and gynecology department in the evening.

The pleading look in Xu Qiu's mind before leaving could not be forgotten...

"Wait, why do you suddenly think of her?"

Xu Qiu carefully recalled everything just now.

There must be something related to Miao Yue, but he has ignored it.

Is it... a disease?

Xu Qiu recalled the weirdness of Miao Yue's condition.

One is an uncontrollable lung infection.

and rapidly worsening congestive heart failure.

He seemed to be back in the ward, with the weak Miao Yue lying in front of him.

Difficulty breathing.

Cyanosis of the lips…

At this moment, Xu Qiu's eyes lit up.

Everyone has overlooked one point.

The most important point!

short and small!

A disease quickly popped up in Xu Qiu's mind: "It's... scimitar syndrome."

This is a rare congenital disease.

Scientific name: Pulmonary hypoplasia syndrome.

It is a type of malformed pulmonary vein drainage.

It is more common in women aged 20 to 30 years old.

Characteristically, the pulmonary veins are connected to the right atrium either directly or through systemic venous pathways.

Due to diversion,

Patients are often accompanied by hypoplasia of the right lung and right displacement of the heart.

The typical imaging manifestation is that from the posteroanterior chest X-ray, a curved vascular shadow can be seen on the right side of the heart, downward and inward toward the transverse septum.

This is abnormal visualization of the draining right pulmonary veins.

Shaped like a scimitar.

Hence it is called Scimitar Syndrome.

"Miao Yue's right lung has shrunk, so it may not be atelectasis!" Xu Qiu realized this immediately.

Maybe it’s Scimitar Syndrome!

and……

If it is this disease, many of Miao Yue's symptoms can be explained.
