The patient has lung cancer and his pre-surgery examination was insufficient.
Even though the situation was urgent at the time, and the patient's right lung was compressed by 80%, accompanied by pneumothorax and severe pleural effusion, it was still an oversight in our work.
If we had known about the tumor in the patient's lungs before the surgery, we might have been more cautious during the resuscitation and considered using a double-lumen tube.
Every incident occurs with various objective factors.
Medical staff must be extremely careful to avoid accidents.
Now the patient's life has been saved, and a medical accident was successfully resolved by Zhou Can. However, the thoracotomy was not for nothing, it was meant to treat the disease.
If the lung tumor is not addressed, the patient will still be in mortal danger.
The only issue is how to address it, which presents a challenge.
