Chapter 249: Appendectomy
In less than half an hour, the equipment was ready, the vacant house was disinfected, the empress dowager and the queen took Ma Fei San and fell into a deep sleep. Everything was ready.
"Qingyi, Chen Xiu, the two of you, help me." After Bai Yan saw that everything was ready, she said to Qingyi and Chen Xiu.
"Lin Yuan, this prescription is for the Empress Dowager to take after surgery, and it should be taken every two hours.
After the operation, feed him immediately. You guys go down and prepare the decoction first, and keep it ready at all times. "After Xu Qingyi instructed Lin Yuan, he followed Bai Yan into the wing room where the operation was performed.
"Yes."
At this time, the Queen Mother was lying flat on the bed in the middle of the wing, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep. Her steady breathing and slightly rising and falling chest all showed that she was at peace at the moment.
On the table next to it, there were various surgical tools, including scalpels, hemostatic forceps, tweezers, suture needles, liquor, candles..., placed on a clean table.
Bai Yan stood by the bed, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. Her eyes were firm and calm, as if she had made all the preparations. She gently lifted the quilt on the Queen Mother's body and asked Chen Xiu to take off the Queen Mother's top, revealing the area below her chest.
"Qingyi, prepare the scalpel." Bai Yan's voice was calm and clear, without a trace of trembling.
Xu Qingyi immediately picked up a scalpel from the table next to him and handed it to Bai Yan. Bai Yan took the scalpel and gently warmed it over the fire to disinfect it.
Then, she touched a certain spot on the lower right abdomen of the Empress Dowager. After her finger mutated, the spot where her finger touched seemed to produce a high-definition CT, as if a sophisticated medical device was performing a full-scale scan of the Empress Dowager's body.
This feeling became even stronger when she held the scalpel.
Bai Yan's fingers gently slid across the Empress Dowager's lower right abdomen, and those images emerged in her mind, allowing her to clearly see every detail of the Empress Dowager's body.
She saw that the Empress Dowager's appendix was swollen and almost perforated in the lower right abdomen, and she also found the specific place to make the cut.
Bai Yan took a deep breath and started to work.
She held the knife in her right hand and cut with skill and precision. With one cut, she cut open the appendix in the lower right side of the Empress Dowager's abdomen. When the first cut failed to completely open the abdominal cavity, she cut again at the same location.
Each cut accurately cut through the skin of the Queen Mother. The bright red blood flowed out instantly, but Bai Yan was not panicked at all. She calmly instructed Qingyi and Chen Xiu to stop the bleeding and clean it.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. The only sounds in the entire room were the sound of the scalpel cutting the skin and the busy footsteps of Qingyi and Chen Xiu.
Beads of sweat began to appear on Bai Yan's forehead, but she did not stop. She knew she could not make any mistakes.
Fortunately, after Bai Yan's fingers mutated, he could clearly see the condition of the Empress Dowager in his mind at the location where he touched the scalpel.
An hour later, after a long wait, the operation was finally completed. Bai Yan let out a long sigh, and then ordered Qingyi and Chen Xiu to clean the blood on the Queen Mother's body and change the quilt.
"Lin Yuan, bring the decocted medicine here." Bai Yan's voice sounded a little tired, but still firm.
Lin Yuan immediately brought in the boiled medicine, and Bai Yan personally fed it to the Queen Mother. Then, she looked at the Queen Mother's peaceful sleeping face and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, now it all depends on the Queen Mother's recovery.
Chen Xiu, Lin Yuan, the two of you will guard the Empress Dowager during the day, and Xu Ming and Wang Jie, the two of you will guard at night. If you can get through the first three days, everything will be fine.
You must take good care of it, and report any situation to me and Qingyi immediately. "Bai Yan said to Chen Xiu and the others.
Chen Xiu and the others nodded, and then began to get busy, cleaning the wounds and changing the medicine for the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother seemed to have lost all consciousness at this time, but she didn't know that while she was sleeping, a group of people were making great efforts for her.
Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan walked towards the main hall, and they also had to report to the Emperor about the Empress Dowager's surgery.
"Imperial Physician Bai, Imperial Physician Xu, have you two finished the operation on my mother? Was it successful? How is my mother?" When the Empress saw Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan walking out of the inner room, she hurried forward to greet them, her eyes full of concern and nervousness.
Bai Yan nodded gently and answered calmly: "To answer your question, the operation went very smoothly. The Queen Mother's condition has stabilized. She only needs to survive the first three days and then she will be fine. She will recover after taking good care of herself."
The Empress and Emperor Rui'an felt relieved after hearing Bai Yan's answer, but there was still a trace of worry in their eyes: "That's good, that's good. Mother is old, and it is a blessing to have the help of two imperial doctors this time. I also ask the two imperial doctors to do their best to ensure that mother recovers soon."
Bai Yan and Xu Qingyi nodded at the same time, indicating that they would do their best.
"However, the Empress Dowager has just had surgery and is very weak. Her body carries a lot of germs. To prevent human germs from being transmitted to the Empress Dowager, no more than two people can visit the Empress Dowager every day in the next few days, and each visit cannot exceed two quarters of an hour.
Even if you want to visit the Empress Dowager, you need to fumigate your body with the medicine I prepared before you can visit her.
After the first three to five days, Your Majesty, you can arrange for someone to come and take care of the patient." Xu Qingyi also instructed.
"As long as we can save my mother, everything will be up to you two, Imperial Doctor Xu and Imperial Doctor Bai.
If you need any medicine or person, just tell the Imperial Hospital. The Imperial Hospital will fully cooperate with you two. "Emperor Rui'an nodded and said solemnly.
"Yes, we obey your order." Bai Yan and Xu Qingyi replied respectfully.
The Empress Dowager had just undergone surgery in the morning, but after noon, she started to have a high fever. Chen Xiu and Lin Yuan, who were guarding the Empress Dowager, became anxious and hurried to ask Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan to come.
"The fever is not high, but it's not low either, it's moderate fever, but judging by the appearance, the fever will rise and develop into a high fever.
In addition, the wound is also red and swollen, and the high fever is caused by the wound. "Xu Qingyi touched the Queen Mother's forehead, and then looked at the place where she had operated, and knew that the Queen Mother had a high fever because of the operation.
"I have no problem operating, but if it comes to prescribing medicine or giving acupuncture to save lives, then that's up to you." Bai Yan spoke first after seeing Qing Yi's thoughtful look.
