Has Chen Ting ever had a double lung transplant?
Yes, after the operation, Chen Ting is enjoying the joy of breathing freely. Huaxi strange photo dragon and tiger network news. "Even if breathing is difficult and laborious, I really want to live, eager to breathe and eager to live." This is a message from Chen Ting, a 26-year-old girl from Wujiang, Suzhou, on her Sina Weibo. After fighting the disease for eight years, the only chance to prolong life now is to have a double lung transplant. A young girl, countless pairs of warm hands, a love relay in a race with death-after two months of treatment, Chen Ting was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon. First-line lung transplantation is the only hope of survival. "When she was in the third year of high school, she found that she couldn't run, and her asthma was more serious than others. At first we thought it was caused by a cold, but her symptoms didn't look like a cold. At the doctor's suggestion, she had a CT scan and found that there was something wrong with her lungs. She was diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease with secondary pulmonary fibrosis. " When Chen Ting's father, Mr. Chen, talked about his daughter, his tone was a little heavy. Pneumothorax appeared in April this year, and we sent her to Suzhou Chinese Medicine Hospital for treatment. "Since she was diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease in 2005 and caused severe pulmonary fibrosis, she struggled with the disease for nearly eight years and was sentenced to death by doctors, with only three months left at most. The only chance to prolong life now is a lung transplant. In April this year, she met a "Bo You" who successfully received a lung transplant in Wuxi People's Hospital in Weibo. Chen Ting knew from there that the lung transplantation in Wuxi People's Hospital was very professional and authoritative. So, with a glimmer of hope, Chen Ting found Chen Jingyu, a national lung transplant expert in Wuxi People's Hospital, through Weibo. However, lung transplantation is also the most difficult organ transplantation. According to Chen Jingyu, organ transplantation is an epoch-making modern medical technology in the medical field since the 20th century. Kidney transplantation, liver transplantation and bone marrow transplantation are familiar to everyone, but lung transplantation is the most difficult step in human organ transplantation, which takes longer to overcome than liver transplantation and kidney transplantation and has a lower success rate. He explained that the lungs are inherently fragile, and the perfusion damage caused by opening is greater than other organs. In addition, the lung is preserved in vitro for a very short time, and it is in danger of being destroyed after ischemia for more than 4 hours. Even if transplanted into the body for more than 6 hours, it is difficult to survive, endangering the life of the transplanted person. Therefore, it requires extremely high surgical skills, and the success rate of surgery is lower than that of organ transplantation such as liver, kidney and heart. However, Chen Jingyu told reporters that lung transplantation still faces two major problems: infection and postoperative rejection. Acute rejection or infection after operation can be life-threatening. After the operation and the critical period after the operation, the problem of chronic rejection will be placed in front of us again. Chronic rejection mainly causes chronic obstructive bronchiolitis. If the operation is successful, the patient is expected to live for another five to ten years or even longer. If the operation fails, the patient will face death directly. Therefore, domestic hospitals need extremely strict access conditions to carry out lung transplantation. Wuxi People's Hospital is the only hospital in Jiangsu Province with the qualification of lung transplantation. It is reported that there were 49 cases of lung transplantation in China last year, including 3 cases in Wuxi People's Hospital. Source: Yangzi Evening News Editor: No signal to open the chest for lungs. Artificial heart-lung machine maintains "qi and blood" circulation. Chen Jingyu told reporters that the situation in Chen Ting is very special and complicated. She is the first case in China where a patient with pulmonary fibrosis secondary to mixed connective tissue disease received bilateral lung transplantation. " She has been ill for more than seven years and has been using high-dose hormones to treat fibrous heart failure. Lung transplantation is the last chance, "Chen Jingyu wrote in Weibo. God always thinks of Chen Ting, a brain-dead patient who donated his lungs. 12 at noon on August 5th, Chen Ting was pushed into the operating room. After the operation, Chen Jingyu "restored" the operation process in Weibo: she was accompanied by pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure due to fibrosis, and we gave her extracorporeal membrane oxygenation assisted artificial heart-lung machine. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a kind of extracorporeal circulation, which replaces the traditional extracorporeal circulation. After resection of a lung, the ventilation function of the remaining lung is insufficient or the pulmonary circulation resistance of the remaining lung is too large, and cardiopulmonary bypass support is needed until a new transplanted lung is implanted. Its principle is that venous blood in the body is pumped out of the body, oxygenated by artificial cardiopulmonary bypass made of special materials, and injected into the artery or venous system of patients to play the role of cardiopulmonary replacement and maintain the oxygenated blood supply of human organs and tissues. Turn left first, then right. The operation took five hours. Then, doctors opened Chen Ting's left chest, removed the original left lung and implanted it in the donor's left lung. At this time, the right lung relies on 100% pure oxygen to maintain systemic blood circulation and air circulation. After 65,438+0 hours, bronchus, pulmonary vein and pulmonary artery were anastomosed one after another. When the vascular clamp clamped on the left pulmonary artery was loosened, blood suddenly poured into the new left lung, and the left lung suddenly turned from pale to bright red. Then open the right chest, take out the original right lung and implant it into the donor's right lung. At this time, the newly transplanted left lung undertakes all the oxygenation functions of the body, ensuring the smooth progress of the right lung transplantation. After another 1 hour, the right lung transplantation was successfully completed. When the two bronchi, two pulmonary arteries and two left and right atria of the donor lung were sutured in turn, blood suddenly poured into the newly replaced lung, and the pale lung turned rosy instantly and began to work normally, and the blood flow in both lungs was smooth. At 8: 45 pm, bilateral lung transplantation was successfully completed, ***5 hours. 16 noon 1 1: 54, after 13 hours of mechanical ventilation, Chen Ting successfully removed the machine and extubated! She can breathe freely now. It feels good to breathe. ""You see, I walked on the ground the day after the operation and recovered well. Don't worry. " Chen Ting couldn't wait to post the good news on Sina Weibo the day after receiving the lung transplant. "After Chen Ting recovers, she should be similar to a normal person, and she can't even see that she is such a serious patient." In the future, you only need to do anti-rejection treatment regularly every year, about 50,000 to 60,000 each time. Chen Jingyu said that many lung transplant patients recovered well after discharge, especially young patients. There was a girl who had a lung transplant before and was able to dive after recovery. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter saw Chen Ting in the ward. Chen Ting, whose face is ruddy, is sitting in a hospital bed drinking yogurt. Just before entering the operating room in August 15, Chen Ting in the hospital bed had an oxygen inhalation tube in his nose and all kinds of tubes in his body. He kept coughing and flushed, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He can't answer anyone's questions at all. Chen Ting chatted with reporters excitedly. "It's great to be able to breathe by yourself!" She hasn't walked on the ground for nearly two months, and she doesn't know how to walk as soon as her feet touch the ground, like a toddler. Now the voice is getting louder and louder, and I have no strength to speak when I am admitted to the hospital. If you need anything now, just shout "Aunt Nurse" as soon as you ask. She once said: "Please give me a chance, eager to breathe, eager to live." For Chen Ting, who was born in an ordinary family, the cost of treatment is also a difficult problem. Chen Ting's father said, "The total cost of surgery is about 800,000 yuan." Nearly eight years of treatment costs, the family has been penniless. The wife has been laid off to take care of her daughter; He works in a joint venture with a monthly salary of more than 2000 yuan. "Please give me a chance, eager to breathe, eager to live." Chen Ting's words on Weibo made many netizens feel sad and forwarded the post one after another. "Wuxi is a city of great love. With this love, Chen Ting will definitely break through. " Diver- Curly, a blogger in Wuxi, was a lung transplant patient. After learning about the situation in Chen Ting, he posted an aid online and encouraged Chen Ting to stick to it. "We received a donation of 1.5 million yuan within 4 days, and donated 50,000 yuan online alone." At present, * * * has received donations of more than 200,000 yuan from all walks of life. Wuxi Red Cross Society and Medical Management Center were also very concerned about Chen Ting, and they immediately sent 50,000 yuan in aid. At the same time, Chen Jingyu is constantly refreshing Weibo: Jiangsu Province can partially reimburse the medical insurance expenses for lung transplantation, and Suzhou Medical Insurance Office can approve Chen Ting to be transferred to Wuxi for treatment to solve her financial difficulties. Mr. Chen said that Chen Ting was concerned by people from all walks of life after his illness, and the head of the town government in their hometown also visited and sent 20,000 yuan of solatium. In addition, the local social security department made special treatment for Chen Ting, and approved her to go back to her hometown to reimburse part of the medical expenses after the transfer operation. Chen Ting's father also expressed his gratitude to Wuxi: all doctors in Wuxi have the heart of "loving doctors", and Wuxi citizens and netizens have also given generously. Face to face, "I can donate my cornea to other girls and let her visit my parents for me." It is understood that Chen Ting signed a donation before surgery, donating her cornea to Suzhou Red Cross Society. She wrote in Weibo: "I can't breathe freely because of my illness, and I live in pain. I'm not afraid of death, but I feel that there is nothing left after I came into this world. I hope to donate my cornea to a girl who is as eager to be filial to her parents as I am. I hope she can take my eyes to visit my parents who have lost their independence, and accompany them for a walk, eat a meal and chat, just like I am doing it myself. " After the operation was successful, Chen Ting had a new plan. "I discussed it with my parents. After I get better, I sell my house, then apply for low-rent housing, and pay back the money I owe, so that my parents can relieve their pressure. When you are well, find a job and live a good life. So many enthusiastic people have donated money to me, and I will repay you with public welfare actions.
