Chapter 27: Dystocia
Lu Jinping asked: "Why do you say that he was drunk to death?" Did anyone see it? ”
Zhou Yuanwai said: "No, I got the news and rushed to see that my son-in-law was dead, his whole body was full of alcohol, and there was vomit on the ground, I heard the widow Chang say that she accompanied my son-in-law to drink that night, and the son-in-law drank a lot, and he couldn't persuade him, and the two drank a whole big jar of wine in one night, most of which my son-in-law drank, and she only drank a small half." But both were drunk. When it was almost dawn, the widow found that my son-in-law seemed to be dead, so she hurriedly came to my house and said, we hurried to find that the person was already out of breath, and went to Lang Zhong, saying that he had already died. This guy is a good drinker and greedy for glasses, and he doesn't listen to him many times, and he deserves to be unlucky. I can hold this lively funeral for him, and you will come to mourn in person, and it can be regarded as the blessing he has saved in his previous life. ”
Lu Jinping hesitated for a moment and said, "I think your son-in-law's death is a bit ......."
As soon as he said this, he heard the anxious voice of the maid outside: "Master! Master! Wen Po said that grandma had a difficult birth and couldn't give birth, so she quickly asked Lang Zhong to take a look. ”
When Zhou Yuanwai heard this, he was immediately startled, he had warned that there might be dystocia, but he said it more implicitly, and he didn't pay enough attention to it, and he spent a lot of money to invite him to the home with the best women in the state capital, thinking that it should be no problem, but he didn't expect it to be really difficult to give birth, and the child couldn't be born, so he couldn't help but panic, and looked at Lu Jinping.
Lu Jinping said urgently: "Take me to see it, dystocia is not a joke!" ”
Steward Zhou hurriedly agreed, hurriedly came out with Lu Jinping, and went to the inner house. These close relatives and friends in the mourning hall had already heard the girl's voice, and they couldn't help but be a little flustered, talking in a low voice, and some close relatives also followed to see the situation, of course, they were basically women. The man remained in the hall waiting for news.
In ancient times, women's maternity wards were considered unclean places, so men generally did not go to them, especially large families.
Zhou Yuan led Lu Jinping to the delivery room of the inner house, and there were two maids guarding the door, with panicked looks on their faces. From inside the house came the loud shouts of the midwives: "Hard! Auntie, if you don't work hard, what should the child do? If you can't give birth, it will be miserable, you will be stillborn, and you will not be able to protect your life, you must work hard, come! Hard! ”
But I can hardly hear the voice of the mother, not even the voice of **.
I heard that Zhou Yuan came from outside, and the stable woman who was in charge of delivery inside hurriedly came out, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, my aunt and grandmother have no strength, and they can't use their strength, but what should I do?" ”
The maid next to her said: "My aunt is sad that my uncle has passed away in the past few days, I have been crying, I don't think about tea and dinner, I haven't eaten anything, I rarely drink water, how can I have the strength to have a child......"
Zhou Yuanwai lowered his face in front of Lu Jinping and smiled, but in front of the stable woman who was invited to deliver the baby with a lot of money, he was full of expression, and scolded: "It's really a waste, I spent so much money to invite you here, and you actually told me that my daughter didn't have the strength to have a child?" What do you eat? She has the strength to give birth to herself, and what did she ask you to do? ――Why don't you find a way to do it! ”
Wen Po smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, all the ways have been thought of, there is really no way, my aunt and grandmother have no strength, and God can't help it......"
"Rubbish! What a rubbish! I spent so much money to invite you to come, but you have nothing to do, what should I do? ”
Zhou Yuanwai roared at the stable woman. Suddenly, he realized that his words seemed to affect the lord next to him, because he was also invited by himself to sit in charge of ensuring the smooth delivery of his daughter, not only did he hurriedly hunch his waist and laugh and said: "Lord, I, I'm talking nonsense, I didn't talk about you, the villain is talking about them, hehe, this, the old lady, please have tea in the main hall, there are a few stable women here, hehehe......"
Lu Jinping listened to Zhou Yuanwai's words just now, and he was indeed a little uncomfortable, although he believed that Zhou Yuanwai was definitely not targeting him, and he didn't even expect that it would involve him. Zhou Yuanwai invited him to come just to save face, the so-called sitting in charge to ensure a smooth delivery is just one of the excuses, and he doesn't really expect him to solve the problem of dystocia, but he is still uneasy, after all, he also took other people's money, and now his daughter is in danger, so he can't sit idly by.
Although Lu Jinping is a forensic major, forensic medicine belongs to a sub-discipline of Western medicine, so he also systematically studied Western medicine and gynecology. After all, you also paid to invite me just in case, so let me go in and see if there is a way! ”
When Zhou Yuanwai heard this, he was afraid that Lu Jinping would say the opposite after he got angry, but his expression didn't look like he was angry, but like he was sincere, so he couldn't help but be grateful, and he hurriedly said yes, and even thanked him.
Wen Po also knew that Zhou Yuanwai invited a medical doctor from the same state to come to the town, and now, she wished that someone would take over this matter, at least in the future, the responsibility could be reduced a little, if even the doctor of medicine could not do it, then her Wen Po's responsibility would be much smaller, and she was busy with Fuli, and led Lu Jinping into the delivery room.
Zhou Yuanwai didn't go in, and stood outside the courtyard and waited.
Lu Jinping entered the delivery room and saw a petite woman lying on the bed, covered with a thin brocade quilt, with a disheveled hair, her face covered with cold sweat, her eyes were misty, she was breathing rapidly, and her chest was rising and falling rapidly. The sweat on his head had soaked all his hair, and his clothes were full of sweat, as if he had run a long way with a heavy burden, and he was exhausted.
Lu Jinping couldn't help frowning when he saw her high bulging lower abdomen, judging from her figure, she was thin and slender, and her abdomen was so bulging, I was afraid that the fetus would be bigger. It should be that the rich and noble have no diet and overnutrition, which makes the fetus larger.
Lu Jinping bent down and said to the mother: "Hello aunt, I am a doctor from the Yamen of Tongzhou invited by your father, and my surname is Lu." I'm going to check the condition of the baby in your womb now, and you're going to have to cooperate with me to do the test, understand? ”
In ancient times, because women almost didn't go out and didn't do things, including not studying medicine, the obstetrics and gynecology department was also responsible for the men, including the delivery of babies who needed Lang Zhong's diagnosis and treatment, and they were all men, so the Zhou family's aunt and grandmother were not surprised by Lu Jinping's words. The sweaty, emaciated face nodded, and the lips squirmed as if to say thank you.
Lu Jinping lifted the quilt, pressed her hand on her bulging abdomen, and determined that the fetal position of the fetus was a normal headrest position through palpation, which should be the most convenient position for delivery, and it stands to reason that there will be no dystocia, as long as the fetus is large, especially because the mother is too sad because of her husband's violent death, she has not eaten well for a few days, and lacks enough physical strength, so that the second stage of labor is prolonged.
Since the mother is unable to give birth, measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the mother and child.
Lu Jinping sorted out the obstetric knowledge in his mind and formed a medical plan, that is, to use forceps to help delivery, and at the same time perform episiotomy to widen the birth canal and help the child be delivered smoothly.
Since forceps is to be done, forceps are a must, and they can only be built quickly. If you do it right away, it should be too late. He walked out quickly and said to Zhou Yuanwai outside the door, "Is there a blacksmith in your town?" I'm going to build a tool to help with childbirth. ”
Zhou Yuanwai said: "Yes, there are two blacksmith shops, not far from my house, do you want to call them?" ”
"Okay, you call all the masters of the blacksmith shop at once, I will tell them face to face what equipment to build, let them build it as quickly as possible, I will draw a sketch now, bring pen and paper."
Zhou Yuanwai hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to run and call all the craftsmen of the blacksmith shop, and brought pen and paper. Lu Jinping drew a sketch of forceps.
Although he knew about forceps, he had never operated it himself, and now he could only drive the ducks to the shelves, desperate. Fortunately, forceps and episiotomy are only minor obstetric surgeries that can be done by one person on their own.
By the time the sketch was finished, several blacksmiths had already arrived.
Lu Jinping introduced the size, function and technical requirements of this forceps. The structure of the forceps is relatively simple, and it is not difficult for the average blacksmith. Lu Jinping asked how long it would take to build it, and the blacksmith said half an hour. Lu Jinping shook his head and said, "It has to be faster, I'm worried that the mother won't be able to wait that long."
Zhou Yuanwai immediately raised the bounty, and several craftsmen briefly communicated and did a division of labor, and said that one meal could be done well.
Lu Jinping nodded.
