This is also why all open chest surgeries are considered Level 4 major surgeries.
No matter where you operate, as long as you open the chest, it will cause significant harm to the patient.
Then during the surgery, if an accident occurs and emergency rescue is needed, it's a race against time.
Don't mention resident doctors or chief-level doctors, even some associate chief physicians can become flustered and overwhelmed.
Sometimes, when a patient suddenly experiences cardiac arrest, the time for doctors to rescue could be just two or three minutes. In such situations, if the chief surgeon lacks strong mental resilience, extensive surgical experience, and powerful professional knowledge, there's a high chance of rescue failure, leading to the severe consequence of the patient dying on the operating table.
Even someone as excellent as Director Xue Yan has made such mistakes, not to mention ordinary associate chief physicians.
