"THVE (Total Hepatic Vascular Exclusion) is completed, start timing," Chen Yu instructed after he completed the blockage of the infra-diaphragmatic abdominal aorta, Pringle's maneuver, and the occlusion of the inferior and superior vena cava, directing Jounouchi Hiromi. As the anesthesiologist during the surgery, it's their responsibility to monitor various patient conditions, which naturally includes timing.
"Timing starts." Jounouchi Hiromi picked up the timer, pressed the start button and also announced the commencement of timing. If the total hepatic blood flow is blocked for too long under normal temperature, it can cause damage to the liver, so it's essential to control the duration of the surgery.
With the start of the timer, it naturally meant that the following part of the operation had to be done against the clock.
