Chapter 350 Powerful Artificial Heart

The Mayo Clinic is the largest private hospital in the United States, with an average annual profit of 100 million yuan per bed.

It is also one of the few places in Damei that offers in vitro cultivation and transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells.

Similarly, Umbrella's latest artificial organs are also having preliminary clinical applications here.

Umbrella is a myth-like existence in the medical world. From the initial antilithiasis drug to the subsequent 'Ankangding', it is a breathtaking and unique culture medium technology that no one can replicate until now.

Under this situation, even if Umbrella proposed an unreliable method, they would still be willing to try it.

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

Because the advantages of artificial organs themselves are too obvious.

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

Although the advantages are obvious, there are also many disadvantages, such as the life of the machine, high price, and complications over time.

Directly and completely replaced by an artificial heart, this is a very beautiful and promising project, but currently, in fact, they are not very optimistic about it in the short term.

It's not that he feels stronger, but because he originally chose him, his heart function has been severely exhausted. Naturally, he feels weak all over. Now, after gradually recovering, he will certainly feel full of strength.

Even the patient himself is a little confused.

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

"It seems pretty good. Let's get used to it first. We haven't increased the power. We're still keeping it in a sick state for the time being to allow your body to adapt. Then we will gradually increase it based on your recovery until it returns to a normal heart level..."

Originally, with many motor-based artificial hearts, patients no longer have a pulse, but Umbrella's one is more like a 'boost' given by the heart muscle.

"it's over?"

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

Therefore, the current consensus on the biggest role of artificial hearts is to prolong their lives as much as possible so that they can wait for a suitable recipient.

At present, the results of other tests are quite excellent. Anyway, no problems have been seen for the time being. Now it depends on the condition of this patient...

That magical material is not just a 'memory' but also has adaptability. With the operation of the motor, it has started to operate on its own.

We have the most top-notch medical equipment and the strongest medical team here, and have performed many corresponding surgeries. We also have a large number of follow-up records to understand the patient's condition and accumulate more data based on actual conditions.

But now it’s successful?

But there must be some suppression in it!

Before the official operation, Mayo still demonstrated their own principle of being expensive, and conducted multiple in-person tests on the artificial heart, which cost $100,000 per unit.

It doesn't reflect the skills of their experts at all.

Initially, Syncardia tested artificial heart transplantation on 81 patients, selecting critically ill patients whose survival time was less than 30 days. The average survival time was 79 days, and the longest was 400 days.

As a top medical institution, they know exactly what it means if it is as advertised!

"The lifespan exceeds the lifespan of a normal human heart, which is really unbelievable."

Then, the surgery begins!

The doctor who was constantly controlling the vascular speculum, implanting it from the wrist towards the heart, carefully controlled the speculum, and at the same time said with emotion to the other doctors beside him who were participating in the surgical observation and study.

Feeling the surging beating of his heart that he had not seen for a long time, feeling the blood filling his body, feeling the clarity of his mind and the strength in his body, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"However, the service life is difficult to test. Although it has been tested through accelerated operation in harsh environments, it is still different from natural long-term use. We always thought the artificial heart was good, but after all, it is still mechanically unreliable.

ah……"

When the speculum reaches the target area, it first releases the components step by step starting from the valve. Each release looks like a work of art. You can see the changes in the atrium through the speculum!

The process was smoother than expected, even much smoother.

In fact, he himself knew that he was approaching the end of his life and came here to try out new technologies.

After completing the minimally invasive lead extraction on the chest, in addition to charging, the heart power can even be adjusted by modifying external data parameters to a level that best suits the patient!

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

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

As the device was removed from the blood vessel, the wound was sealed, and the patch on the chest was anastomosed to the skin, they suddenly discovered that the operation itself was far less difficult and time-consuming than expected.

"I feel full of strength..."

"Actually, if the memory metal of Umbrella alone can be used to complete more effective new stents and artificial valves, I quite approve of it. It is indeed a rare technology to be able to compress a complete cavity into such a small range."

Even this is the result of the careful and slow operation of the doctor who is controlling it. It will obviously be faster after he is proficient.

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

However, it is normal. Nobel Prizes are often awarded only after verification. Many winners have won the current Nobel Prize for their previous achievements.

The patient's other indicators were then tested, and everything was normal!

After waiting for the patient to gradually wake up and start observing, these medical experts also discovered that the patient seemed to be recovering quite well!

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

Fortunately, the Mayo Clinic has many patients of all kinds, and it is easy to find patients who have little survival time and have not yet had a heart attack.

It's just that Umbrella has developed a lot of technologies at present, but there is no news of Nobel Prize yet.

Umbrella's two new artificial organs appeared, and they took them very seriously.

Therefore, so far, artificial organs are not yet popular.

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

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

Darling, this thing seems to have an indescribable feeling. He is even thinking that in the future, athletes will implant this and increase the power. I wonder if it can have a stronger effect than stimulants.

Special Mo seems to be completely feasible!

Even many doctors have a strange image in their minds that all the organs of the human body have been mechanically strengthened.

If, it means if!

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

Then, what they think may become a reality!
