In addition, Lu Jinping also asked Zhou Yuanwai to arrange for someone to go to the town's pharmacy immediately to buy a new set of needles and threads for surgical suturing wounds. Ancient Chinese gold trauma surgery was relatively advanced, and the instruments and techniques for suturing wounds could meet the needs, and there were ready-made suture needles and threads for sale in pharmacies.

Lu Jinping asked Ye Qingqing to go home immediately and bring the forensic investigation box in the study. He needed the scalpel inside the box for an episiotomy. Although this knife is used to dissect corpses, it is not the same as the scalpel used in the general operating room, but he is used to using it, and he still uses this one, and the general knife is not special for surgery, and it is not easy to use. Because his forensic investigation box is password locked, only he knows how to open it, so he can only ask Ye Qingqing to bring the entire forensic investigation box.

For the woman's urinary catheterization problem, there is a rubber tube in his forensic examination box, which is about the same thickness as the urinary catheter, which is just right for use.

Lu Jinping wrote a prescription again, which was a disinfectant potion prepared with traditional Chinese medicine, and he still knew these conventional Chinese medicine formulas. Ask Zhou Yuan to send people to quickly purchase and configure them for equipment and skin disinfection.

Then, he asked Zhou Yuanwai to prepare a stack of clean gauze, boil it with high-temperature boiling water to sterilize, and then immediately dry it with fire for later use, which is used to compress and stop bleeding during episiotomy.

The biggest challenge in the whole operation is anesthesia.

An episiotomy requires the use of local anesthesia, but his forensic examination box does not contain anesthetic.

Of course, surgery can be performed without anesthetic, but the mother will suffer a lot and may cause painful shock, which will be miserable.

Hua Tuo's hemp boiling powder has not been handed down, there was no anesthetic in the Tang Dynasty, what method should be used to reduce the pain of surgery?

Lu Jinping had no idea for a while, paced into the delivery room, came to the delivery bed, and saw the mother with half-open eyes and rapid breathing, so he tried his best to say to the mother in a calm tone: "Don't worry, don't breathe so quickly, this breathing method will make you exhale more air than you inhale, then you will lack oxygen, and you will be even more weak." ”

As soon as he said this, he thought that the word hypoxia was too unfamiliar to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they didn't know what oxygen was. So I made a demonstration and asked her to breathe like this.

The mother nodded, slowing down her breathing as she did. Sure enough, he felt better, so he reluctantly smiled at Lu Jinping.

Lu Jinping saw that her eyes closed and opened from time to time, looking extremely tired, thinking that she had no strength to give birth anyway, and now she could only rely on her own surgery to help, it was better to let her sleep for a while at this time to recover her strength, so he said: "If you want to sleep, you can sleep." ”

The woman's lips squirmed a few times and she shook her head.

Her personal maid next to her hurriedly replied for her: "Since my aunt's tragic death, my grandmother hasn't slept, it's been three days and three nights, my grandmother is very sleepy, but she can't sleep, and she tears when she thinks of her uncle......"

Lu Jinping said: "You are exhausted, you can't use your strength, you may have the strength to have a child after sleeping for a while." He thought to himself that if the mother could fall into a deep sleep, it might be able to relieve the pain.

The mother nodded slowly and looked at him. Lu Jinping decided to try it with hypnotism, which he had learned a little bit of. So he looked into her eyes and said, "Yes, that's it, look into my eyes, -- from my eyes you can see the starry sky, and the sea, the deep starry sky, the stars are shining, one ......, two ......, three ......, the stars are blinking, the sea, the blue sea." The sea is roaring, lapping on the shore, the seagulls are flying lightly on the sea, the sea is blue, the beach is white, the waves rush onto the beach, and slowly retreat again......"

His voice was gentle and deep, with a long pitch that had an indescribable magic.

After listening for a while, the maid and the woman next to him yawned several times in a row. And the stable woman sitting on the edge of the mother's bed actually fell asleep on the side of the bed.

Lu Jinping thought to himself, this is too exaggerated, he must be trying to take the opportunity to be lazy!

At this moment, it is strange to say that it was a pregnant woman who had been unable to sleep, but she closed her eyes, her breathing became steady, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.

Lu Jinping stopped hypnosis at this time, and a few stable women rubbed their eyes and muttered: "Why are you so sleepy all of a sudden, I really want to sleep well." ”

Zhou Yuanwai's concubine's room, which is also his daughter's mother-in-law, has been guarding the bedside, yawning long, and glaring: "I can't sleep now!" Ahh

With that, she yawned again.

Lu Jinping was surprised and delighted, could it be that his hypnotism was so effective? Looking at a few people doesn't seem to be joking, but really sleepy, just now I was so nervous because of maternal dystocia, why is this time sleepy? This can only be explained by listening to your own hypnosis.

But he himself knows very well that his hypnotism is just a joke, and he has never succeeded in hypnotizing anyone. Sometimes you can't even hypnotize yourself to sleep because of your insomnia. Why is it suddenly so tough now?

Could it be because of the crossing? So that his hypnosis has made a qualitative leap and become extremely strong?

I don't have time to think about this at the moment, and these people must be brought back to their senses before they can deal with dystocia together.

Lu Jinping hurriedly came out and asked the maid outside the door to fetch cold water to yawn in the room and wash the face of Wen Po, who had fallen asleep on the bed. The sleeping woman couldn't wake up, and her snoring was like pulling a bellows. I had to lift her aside and let her lie on the ground to sleep.

At this time, the servant who was sent to buy surgical sutures came back and brought back what Lu Jinping wanted. Then, the medicine buyer also returned. Lu Jinping immediately dispensed the medicine and prepared two potions: skin disinfection and instrument disinfection.

Then, Ye Qingqing also came back, carrying the forensic investigation box of Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping immediately asked for a room, and after entering, he opened the lockbox and took out the scalpel used to dissect the corpse, the rubber tube for catheterization, and the needle and thread for suturing.

After the disinfection was completed, Lu Jinping asked Zhou Yuanwai to take a few clean sheets and put them under the mother's body, and asked the maid to carry two half-person-high heavy nanmu flower stands, put them on the side of the bed, and after moving the mother to the bedside, put her legs apart on the bracket to form a bladder lithotomy position, fix her feet with cloth tapes, and let the two maids hold the flower stand.

A urinary catheter is then inserted. This one is more painful. Lu Jinping thought that this would be able to revive the mother, but he didn't expect that after the urinary catheter was inserted, the mother was still asleep.

This made Lu Jinping very surprised, at the same time, he was also very happy in his heart, he didn't expect the mother to wake up and have any help for childbirth, the second stage of labor of the mother has been extended a lot, after a long time of hard work, the strength is exhausted, but there is still no way to give birth to the child, I am afraid that there is no way to rest for a short time, and quickly recover her strength, it is better to let her sleep like this, and will wait for a while when the episiotomy is performed, it can reduce the pain. Because there is no anesthetic, it is estimated that the mother will wake up from the pain at that time, and then let her give birth together.

Surgery begins.

After disinfecting the surgical site with a disinfectant solution, he placed forceps in and clamped the head and side of the fetus according to his remembered obstetric knowledge and understanding. This was followed by a stravel of the left perineum. During the incision, blood flows out, and hemostatic gauze is used to compress and stop the bleeding immediately.

When his scalpel cut down, he had already anticipated that the mother would wake up in pain and might struggle, so he had asked the mother's mother and the mother to hold her hands firmly and remind her not to move to avoid hurting the fetus and herself. But to everyone's surprise, the mother did not wake up, nor did she struggle in pain, and still fell asleep. I breathed evenly and long, slept soundly, and didn't seem to feel any pain at all.
