Before long, the vascular surgery and cardiology doctors arrived, and the head nurse of the operating room, Liu Yan, even pushed the transport bed to the doorway of the operating theater.
However, just as a glimmer of hope appeared, a new problem arose.
The catheterization lab is on the third floor.
Transferring the patient, who was undergoing cardiac compression, from the operating room on the 2nd floor to the catheterization lab on the 3rd floor was too risky, as it would be impossible to ensure effective cardiac compression during transit.
Just when everyone was at their wits' end, spiraling into despair once more.
Zhao Heng suddenly said, "If we can't go to the catheterization lab, we can do bedside TEE."
TEE, or transesophageal echocardiogram, doesn't require catheterization and can observe the heart's condition, and crucially, it can be done right at the bedside.
Zhao Heng's thought process was undoubtedly informed by the experience of Professor Huang Guangyu.
