Chapter 350 Powerful Artificial Heart

  Mayo Clinic is the No. 1 private hospital in Damei, with an average annual profit of 100 million yuan per bed.

  It is also a rare place in Dameimei that has opened the in vitro cultivation and transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells.

  Similarly, Umbrella's latest artificial organ also has preliminary clinical application here.

  Umbrella is a mythical existence in the medical world. From the first psyllium medicine to the follow-up "Ankangding", it is amazing. The unique culture medium technology has not been replicated until now.

  In this case, even if Umbrella proposes an unreliable method, they are willing to try it.

   What's more, artificial organs themselves have always been a research direction.

  Because the advantages of artificial organs are too obvious.

  Reliable and effective, easy to perform, no need to wait for donors, relatively low risk of rejection, etc.

   It has obvious advantages, but also has many disadvantages, such as mechanical life, high price, and long-term complications.

  So far, artificial organs have not yet become popular.

  Whether it is heart replacement surgery or artificial heart transplantation, Mayo Clinic has rich experience.

  Here has the top medical equipment and the strongest medical team. There are a lot of corresponding operations done, and there will be a lot of follow-up records to understand the patient's situation and accumulate more data based on the actual situation.

  Umbrella's two new artificial organs appear, and they are quite important.

  As a top medical institution, they clearly know what it means once it is as advertised!

   "The service life exceeds the lifespan of a normal heart of a normal person, which is really unbelievable."

"However, it is difficult to test the service life. Although it has been tested through accelerated operation in a harsh environment, it is still different from natural long-term use. At the beginning, we always thought that the artificial heart was good, but it was still mechanically unreliable. ah…"

  At the beginning, Syncadia conducted artificial heart transplantation tests on 81 patients, all of whom were critically ill patients with a survival time of less than 30 days. The average survival time was 79 days, and the longest was 400 days.

  So the current consensus on the greatest role of artificial hearts is to extend their lives as much as possible so that they can wait for suitable recipients.

  It is a very good and promising project to directly and completely replace the artificial heart, but in fact, they are not very promising in a short period of time.

   Fortunately, the Mayo Clinic has a lot of patients of all kinds. It is very easy to find patients who have a short survival time and have not waited for the heart source.

   After explaining the current situation and pulling out Umbrella's endorsement, many patients agreed to this implant surgery.

   Then, the surgery begins!

  Constantly manipulating the vascular speculum, the doctor who implanted it from the wrist towards the heart, carefully manipulated the speculum and at the same time said with emotion to the other doctors who participated in the surgical observation and learning

   "Actually, if only the memory metal of Umbrella is used to complete more effective new stents and artificial valves, I still quite agree. It is indeed a rare technology that the complete cavity can be compressed to such a small range."

   "Indeed, although memory metals are often used in medical devices, there are very few that can reach their level. To be honest, I hope that they can really achieve the effect they said..."

  Nowadays, the commonly used memory metal is nickel-titanium alloy, which has two different atomic order structures when exposed to heat and cold, so it can be restored to heat and has strong corrosion resistance.

   But it is obvious that the memory metal itself still has defects in other metallic properties. Umbrella, a new material that is forcibly fused, is more than enough to win a Nobel Prize, to put it bluntly.

   It’s just that Umbrella has developed a lot of technologies at present, but there is no rumor of a Nobel Prize for the time being.

  However, it is normal. The Nobel Prize is often awarded only after being verified. Many winners have won the current Nobel Prize for their previous achievements.

   But there must be a bit of suppression in it!

  Before the official operation, Mayo still showed their own reason for the high price, and conducted in-person tests on this artificial heart, which is priced at US$100,000, many times.

  Patients who are willing to accept now are not charged for surgery.

  Currently, the results of other tests are quite good. Anyway, I have not seen any problems for the time being. Now it depends on the condition of this patient...

  When the speculum reaches the target area, the components are released step by step starting from the valve. Each release looks like a work of art, and the changes of the atrium can be seen from the speculum!

  The process was smoother than expected, even much smoother.

  That kind of magic material is not just a simple 'memory' but also has adaptability. With the operation of the motor, it has already operated by itself.

  Originally, patients no longer have a pulse in many electric-motor artificial hearts, but this one from Umbrella is more like a "boost" given by the heart muscle.

  After completing the minimally invasive chest lead extraction, in addition to charging, the heart power can even be adjusted by modifying the external data parameters to the most suitable level for the patient!

"it's over?"

  After the device was removed from the blood vessel, the wound was sealed, and the patch on the chest was fitted to the skin, they suddenly found that the difficulty and time of the operation itself was much less than expected.

   Didn't reflect the skills of their group of experts at all.

   Even this is the result of the careful and slow operation of the manipulative doctor. After proficiency, it can obviously be faster.

   Then other indicators of the patient were tested, and everything was normal!

  Waiting for the patient to wake up gradually, after starting to observe, these medical experts also found that it seems that the recovery is quite good!

  Even the patient himself was a little confused.

  He himself actually knew that he was close to the end of his life, so he came to try new technologies.

  In fact, during this period of time, he has completed his own psychological construction, and he is no longer so afraid.

   But it turns out that this is a success now?

  Feeling the long-lost beating of the heart, the fullness of blood in his body, the clarity of his mind and the strength in his body, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

   "I feel full of strength..."

   It's not that he feels stronger, but that he was originally chosen. His heart function has been severely weakened. Naturally, it is a feeling of weakness all over the body. Now, after gradually recovering, he will of course feel full of strength.

   "It looks pretty good, let's get used to it first. We didn't increase the power, and we're still keeping it in a sick state to let your body adapt. After that, we will gradually increase it according to your recovery until it returns to a normal heart level..."

  The doctor looked at the patient in front of him with a strange expression on his face.

   Be good, this thing seems to have an indescribable feeling, he is even thinking that in the future, athletes will also implant this and increase the power, wondering if it can have a stronger effect than stimulants.

  Temo seems to be completely feasible!

   Even the image of all the organs of the human body being mechanically strengthened strangely appeared in the minds of many doctors.

  If, it means if!

  If this patient can really remain normal for a long time, and the service life of this instrument is really so long.

  Then, what they think may become a reality!
