Sudden bad news
A 20-year-old boy suffered brain death in a car accident
On May 18, a pair of parents waited for their son's brain death.
More than half a month ago, their son Ai Xin unfortunately fell into a coma in a car accident and was transferred to the East Branch of Wuhan University People's Hospital for treatment. On the night of May 18, Ai Xin's condition deteriorated sharply and he fell into a deep coma. The grieving family members submitted to the hospital to apply for a brain death verdict for the child. The brain death diagnosis showed that Ai Xin had met the criteria for brain death.
Heavy decision
Donate the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys and corneas
In the darkest moment of life, Ai Xin's parents proposed to donate all of their children's organs, and took the initiative to contact the coordinator of the Human Organ Acquisition Organization (OPO) of Wuhan University People's Hospital, hoping that the child's life could continue in another form.
As long as it meets the donation criteria, you can donate. Donate one more organ, and the child's life will have one more in this world.
After professional judgment, young Ai Xin's heart, liver, lungs, left and right kidneys and two corneas all meet the standards of medical donation.
The 7 organs and tissues donated by Ai Xin were successfully matched with the 7 patients on the register waiting for transplantation.
The continuation of life
Ignite 7 lives that come to the end of the road
On the morning of May 19, Ai Xin was sent to the operating room, and staff from the Hubei Provincial Red Cross Society, the hospital's human organ donation coordinator and medical staff bowed to him and held a moment of silence.
According to transplant experts, in addition to the special treatment of the cornea of the cornea donated by Ai Xin, which can be stored for 1 to 2 weeks, large human organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., must be implanted into the organ recipient as early as possible before the upper limit of the time to tolerate cold ischemia (ranging from 6 to 24 hours).
Starting at 4 p.m. on May 19, more than 50 medical experts from the four major organ transplant teams joined forces, and the departments of cardiovascular surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, thoracic surgery, nephrology (kidney disease and dialysis kidney transplant center), anesthesiology, operating room, and intensive care medicine departments worked closely together to start this "relay battle for life".
Patients with end-stage heart disease
Reborn
Liu Laohan, 56 years old, suffered from end-stage heart disease. Lasting 4 hours, the cardiovascular surgeon, with the tacit cooperation of the anesthesiologist, quickly removed the original heart that had almost lost its function, implanted a healthy heart, and closely sutured the main blood vessels.
Patients with advanced COPD
There was a chance to breathe freely again
Ms. Xie, a patient with advanced COPD, has severe pleural adhesions. With the assistance of anesthesiologists, the thoracic surgeon carefully isolated the severe adhesions in the chest cavity of Ms. Xie, a patient with advanced COPD, and successfully completed the double lung transplantation.
Patients with advanced cirrhosis
Hope for another life
Mother-in-law Hu, advanced cirrhosis of the liver. At 5 p.m. on the 19th, the hepatobiliary surgeon spent 6 hours, escorted by an anesthesiologists, removed her diseased liver, safely implanted a healthy liver, and successfully reconstructed the blood vessels and bile ducts of the transplanted liver.
Uremia patients escape the ghost gate
Starting at 5 p.m. on the 19th, two kidney transplants were relayed. The nephrologist, with the cooperation of anesthesiologists, successfully implanted two healthy kidneys into two uremia patients.
The two see the light again
At 12:30 noon on the 20th, a corneal transplant was carried out in the operating room of the East Campus. One of the corneas donated by Ai Xin, which lasted 40 minutes, was successfully transplanted into the eyes of a patient with infectious keratitis whose cornea was perforated.
Another cornea donated by Ai Xin will be implanted in the eye of a patient who is blind due to corneal dissolution on the 22nd (Wednesday).
The truest commitment
Live well
His eyes were still watching, his heart was still beating
After the successful completion of the transplant operation, various good news came from different wards and intensive care units in the two branches of Wuhan University People's Hospital.
19th 18:30
As the blood flow opened, the kidney donated by Ai Xin quickly filled up in the body of one of the recipients, immediately secreting the first drop of yellow and clear urine, marking that the "new kidney" had begun to "work" normally in the body.
21:00 on the 19th
The other kidney, also in another uremia patient, began to function normally.
6:00 on the 20th
Heart transplant patient Liu Mou successfully disengaged from the ventilator. At 12 noon, he began to eat on his own.
10:52 on the 20th
Liver transplant patients are intubated during tracheal intubation with stable vital signs.
15:00 on the 20th
Ms. Xie, a lung transplant patient, successfully escaped from the ventilator and enjoyed spontaneous breathing again.
Deng Fen (pseudonym), an 18-year-old Girl from Fujian Province, underwent surgery for congenital heart disease at the age of 3. Last year, I was admitted to college, and when I first entered the university, I found that I had uremia. After regaining her life through kidney transplantation, she said that from now on, she would be a good "kidney" of Ai Xin.
Hats off to Ai Xin!
Hats off to Ai Xin!
