Chapter 9 Adverse Childbirth
Zhang Weizhao looked under the mother, the fetus's hands and feet had come out, but the head was stuck in the pelvis. Zhang Weizhao interned in the hospital in his previous life, and when he was transferred to the obstetrics and gynecology department, he did not encounter similar cases, because in a situation like this when the fetus was in labor and the fetal position was not correct, the doctor had already recommended a caesarean section.
However, she heard from an elderly obstetrician and gynaecologist about a case she encountered when she went to the township health station to train midwives in her early years.
At that time, there was a pregnant woman in the village who had escaped family planning. The mother already had two daughters, and in order to satisfy her husband's desire to have a son, she threw the two daughters in her hometown in Shandong, and together with her husband, she secretly hid in the northeast to give birth to her third child. Because it was a superbirth, I didn't dare to go to the hospital, so I gave birth at home, thinking that I had given birth twice before, so there should be nothing wrong. As a result, her child came out first, and her husband felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went to the health station to find a doctor. The obstetrician and gynecologist was there, and he was rushing back on a farm tricycle, and at that time the child's body had come out and his head was still stuck in it. At the last moment, the doctor directly took out the child.
Zhang Weizhao felt that the matter was urgent, and he could try the method of that tough doctor.
It took less than three seconds for these thoughts to work.
Zhang Weizhao said to the girl ring next to the bed: "Is there boiled water?" Is there any steamed and sun-dried cloth? Is there any salt? ”
The girl was stunned for a moment. Then he came back to his senses: "There is boiling water." Salt has. Also, also, the cloth was clean, but not cooked......"
"Okay, bring them all! Be quick! Boil some more boiling water! Gather all the candles! ”
This is all the utensils and materials that Zhang Weizhao can think of here. There is no time to prepare other materials.
At this time, the mother was completely out of strength, and she didn't even have the strength to moan.
The old woman who delivered the baby gave her daughter-in-law a look, and the daughter-in-law immediately understood, came over and said to Zhang Weizhao: "If you want help, please say directly." ”
Zhang Weizhao opened the medicine box and took out a pair of slender scissors: "You help me rinse the scissors with boiling water, and then roast them on the fire!" ”
At this time, Yahuan brought boiling water, salt and cloth.
Zhang Weizhao opened the medicine box, took out a pair of needles, and a ball of silk thread, and handed it to Yahuan: "Boil it in boiling water, and bring it to me with the pot when I want it later." ”
Although Yahuan didn't know why, Zhang Weizhao's voice was calm and powerful, which was very convincing, and she immediately took the order.
Here, Zhang Weizhao estimated the approximate proportion, prepared salt water, and quickly washed his hands repeatedly.
Zhang Weizhao worked as a midwife with a teacher except for his internship at the university level, and he never delivered a baby since. However, now is not the time to hesitate.
Then the right hand is inserted into the birth canal.
The baby's jaw has passed through the pelvis, but the mandible is stuck and cannot come out. Zhang Weizhao's index finger and middle finger groped the fetus's mouth, reached in and buckled the fetus's chin, and dragged the child out little by little.
When the fetus was completely out of the birth canal, Zhang Weizhao let out a long breath. At the same time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who delivered the baby next to them also breathed a sigh of relief. The daughter-in-law came up to cut the umbilical cord, and Zhang Weizhao quickly knotted it.
Zhang Weizhao held the child in his arms with one hand and slapped the soles of his feet with the other. The long-awaited cry did not sound.
"Leave it to me!" The old woman next to her, who had been silent for a long time, came over at this time. Zhang Weizhao handed over the baby to her. Her daughter-in-law next to her lit a tube of dry tobacco and handed it to her, and the old woman took a deep puff and sprayed it in the baby's face.
Is this a Shenma operation? Before Zhang Weizhao could react, he saw the baby's little face wrinkled in the smoke, and he cried out.
Forget it, no matter what the operation, it just works.
As the baby's cry sounded, there was a bang outside the door, and it was the sound of a chair falling to the ground. Then someone chanted the Buddha aloud: "Amitabha, Buddha bless." Bring me a thick cloak, cover the child and carry it to my room! It was Mrs. Liang's voice.
Calling the Buddha to the Taoist priest, is this really good...... Zhang Weizhao complained silently in his heart.
But she can't manage that much at the moment, so leave the child to them. She takes care of the mother's priorities first.
The mother has passed out in a coma. Fortunately, the placenta came down smoothly and the bleeding was not particularly serious.
Zhang Weizhao recruited Yahuan to help, took a boiled wine jug and filled it with light salt water, and tried his best to rinse off the blood stains on the perineum, so that the wound could be seen more clearly.
Because the fetal head is relatively large, there is a certain degree of tearing.
Outside the house, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who delivered the baby said hello to Director Liang and Mrs. Liang again and again, and the auspicious words were said one after another, praising the newborn child as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the ground. Mrs. Liang was overjoyed, and called for a red envelope, and gave a few more strings of copper coins for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to drink and eat.
Liang Juren wanted to come in to see how his daughter-in-law was doing, but was stopped by his mother, saying that the delivery room was filthy and unlucky.
Although it was so lively outside, Zhang Weizhao ignored it.
She washed her hands again, took the freshly sterilized surgical needles and sutures, and began to suture the torn wound for the mother.
The needle is rounded and made of steel.
The first time I saw Zhang Rongkun using a needle, Zhang Weizhao was startled. It was two months after the apprenticeship, a young man with a cleft lip came to Zhang Rongkun for help, Zhang Rongkun applied anesthetic to him, cut the epidermis of his cleft lip, sutured it with curved needles and silk threads, applied hemostatic medicine and chicken oil, applied golden dog hair to the wound, and instructed him to remove the stitches in eight days.
This is the first time Zhang Weizhao has seen suture needles in this era. She knew that her master was very awesome, but she didn't know that he was so awesome. It was only after the 19th century in Europe that doctors became more proficient in repairing cleft lip. And the time and space in which Zhang Weizhao is now is only equivalent to ancient China in the fifteenth century.
She originally thought that doctors at this time mainly relied on decoction and acupuncture to treat diseases, but she did not expect that surgery had developed to this extent. I don't know what it's for, except for the golden dog hair.
Zhang Rongkun said that it can make the wound heal more beautifully......
Of course, surgery at this time was not the mainstream, and only doctors like Zhang Rongkun, who were not bound by the world's eyes, dared to operate like this, and only then did they have such skills. Because only such a person dares to get acquainted with the structure of the human body by dissecting a corpse. Most doctors, on the other hand, still follow the old admonition that the body cannot be easily damaged, and shy away from surgery.
Zhang Weizhao's suturing technique is not proficient, but she is very stable and strives to do her best at the current level.
Because there was no time to prepare the anesthetic, the pain of the sutures caused the mother's body to tremble, and she was about to wake up.
Zhang Weizhao quickened the pace. While sewing, I kept rubbing the sweat from my forehead on my shoulders.
Suddenly, a handkerchief next to him stretched over and wiped the sweat off Zhang Weizhao's forehead.
It's the girl ring just now. When all the mothers-in-law and maids went to Mrs. Liang to ask for rewards, she was still here.
"Thank you!" Zhang Weizhao said briefly.
"No, no! It's me who should thank you! If it weren't for you today, my young lady, I'm afraid it would be ......," he said, with a hint of a whimper in his voice. But she also knew that this was not the time to cry, so she immediately stopped: "My name is Tingyu, whatever do you want, just call me!" ”
Zhang Weizhao nodded.
This should be the bride and maid of the mother, and the relationship between the master and the servant is quite deep. However, at this time, Zhang Weizhao didn't care about chatting with her, and only focused on the work at hand.
First the mucosal layer, then the muscle layer, then the skin layer.
"Ah......h At this moment, Zhang Weizhao finished the last stitch and collected the thread in time.
At this time, the mother's mattress had been stained with blood and water, and Zhang Weizhao and Tingyu carefully replaced the mother's bedding together. Fang can straighten up and catch his breath.
When she was caught in her breath, she walked up to the woman and said to the weak, half-opened woman, "You are doing a good job." You are an amazing mother. The child is healthy, and you will be okay too! ”
The mother's lips trembled, but she couldn't speak, only tears flowed down the corners of her eyes into the pillow.
Zhang Weizhao also instructed Yahuan how to use warm boiling water and a certain amount of pure salt to clean the wounds of the mother in the past few days. How to pay attention to your diet. After the instructions, Zhang Weizhao pushed the door and walked out.
As soon as I came out, I couldn't help but shiver, the mother's room was wrapped in a charcoal basin, the doors and windows were closed, and the cotton curtains were hung outside the door, which was much warmer than outside.
Outside the door, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the night wind was biting, and it was estimated that it was almost eleven o'clock.
There was no one outside the maternity door. Seeing Zhang Weizhao come out, an old woman hurriedly ran over: "The girl has worked hard!" The girl's master prescribed the prescription and grasped the medicine, which should be almost ready by this time. Now his old man is sitting in the front yard drinking tea and roasting the fire, and he also asks the girl to hurry over and drink some hot tea and some snacks. ”
Zhang Weizhao was thirsty and hungry, but there was nothing to do at this time, so he couldn't go to rest first, and asked his mother-in-law, "What about Liang Juren?" ”
The mother-in-law said happily: "I watched the little master with the old lady in the main room." The hired nurse has already arrived, and the little master is eating hard. ”
Zhang Weizhao was speechless. The mother lay in bed with only half her life left, and the family celebrated the cigarette without any worries.
Holding back his anger, Zhang Weizhao said to the mother-in-law, "Please come over to your young master." ”
The mother-in-law saw that Zhang Weizhao's face was tense, and hurriedly went.
Liang Juren hurried out of the main room and said to Zhang Weizhao: "There is Miss Lao!" How is my lady now? ”
"At the moment, the situation is stable. However, it is still necessary to pay more attention and consult a doctor immediately if you have a fever. There was a tear in the perineum, I had stitches up, and I came back ten days later to have the stitches removed. ”
Although Liang Juren didn't understand how to stitch it up, and what was going on with the stitches removed, he still nodded again and again.
Zhang Weizhao couldn't help but say again: "Your lady has a difficult birth, and she is easy to shake her mood and depression after giving birth. It's all a normal thing. You spend more time with her. ”
