Chapter 347: The Bitter Baby
"You're right. Depending on the cause of fetal undersize or developmental delay, the risks that can occur to the fetus are different. In general, fetuses that are too small have a higher chance of stillbirth and hypoxia at the end of pregnancy, and have a higher chance of respiratory distress or death after birth, so extra care must be taken. The attending doctor told Liu Huiyuan's details: "Actually, our doctor recommended the termination of the pregnancy, but Miss Liu said that this was her last child, and she refused to terminate the pregnancy at all." ”
Guan Zheng has always asked the child: "When the fetus grows too slowly in the womb, or the weight does not match the number of weeks of pregnancy, it is medically called fetal growth retardation." Simply put, it means that the fetus is too small or weighs too little. I want to know, what is the specific condition of this child that causes fetal growth retardation, to the point that it must be removed? ”
The doctor handed over a test sheet, Guan Zheng glanced at it a few times, and said, "Judging from this list alone, there is Edwards syndrome." But you can't confirm it, do you? ”
The doctor nodded and said, "I can't be sure, she came this time to do amniocentesis, so that she can determine whether she has Edward's syndrome, but the results have not yet come out." ”
After Guan Zheng learned that Xiaoquan'er had no other condition, he and Xu Jiuyan left the hospital. Xu Jiuyan couldn't help but sigh: "This little circle is so miserable. ”
"Yes, but the amniocentesis results didn't come out, so it's hard to say." Guan Zheng looked at Xu Jiuyan and said, "This time you know the danger of elderly mothers, right?" ”
"Actually, I don't really understand, does this Edward's syndrome have anything to do with Down's syndrome?" Xu Jiuyan really doesn't understand this kind of thing.
Guan Zheng elaborated: "Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome. Malformations mainly include abnormalities of the mesoderm and its derivatives, such as bones, genitourinary system, and heart, and are the second common chromosomal triple sign after congenital stupidity. The purpose of the Prenatal Screening Test for Down Syndrome is to determine the risk of having Down syndrome by testing the blood of the pregnant woman, and if the results of the Down screening test show that the risk of having Down syndrome is relatively high, further confirmatory tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus examination should be performed. Got it? ”
Xu Jiuyan asked, "What would happen if Xiaoquan'er really gave birth to this child, this Edward's syndrome?" ”
"Are you sure you want to listen?" Guan Zheng asked, and Xu Jiuyan became more and more curious: "Of course you have to listen." ”
Guan Zheng cleared his throat and began to say: "The main causes of death are dysphagia, dyspnea, structural heart imperfection at birth, such as a thin ventricular septum or atrial septum, or the merger of the large arteries and pulmonary arteries, which will lead to the mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-deficient blood, and the abnormal male reproductive system in appearance is partially hidden in the abdominal cavity, resulting in infertility, protruding skull in the posterior, small cephalic deformity, drooping and deformed ears, abnormal small jaw deformity, small oral cavity, cleft mouth, cleft jaw, nose tip facing up, Wrinkles and cracks in the eyelids, wide space between the eyes, drooping upper eyelids, overlapping and twisted fingers, hypoplasia or complete absence of the thumb, hypoplasia of the nails, webbing between the second and third toes, inward bending of the feet, limited range of motion of the buttocks, small pelvis, shortened breastbone, abnormal delay in growth rate of development, developmental delay, intellectual disability, kidney disability......"
"Stop, stop," Xu Jiuyan knew that this child was destined to suffer more if she was born, and said, "Such a child is not saved?" ”
Guan Zheng said: "No, you can do plastic surgery or something." As long as it is not intellectual, neurological can be reshaped. ”
It was already close to noon when Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan were busy, and the two didn't have time to eat in the morning, so they discussed going to Aunt Huang's hot pot restaurant for lunch at noon. But before the meal was served, Guan Zheng's phone rang again: "What's wrong?" ”
"The coterie has been attacked." Perimeter Lin was waiting for an ambulance at the rental house at this time.
Guan Zheng jumped up from his position at once and said, "What did you say? How are people? ”
"People fainted, and the ambulance arrived right away." Zhou Jielin didn't have time to talk about the scene of the attack, and said, "Do you want to come and see?" ”
Guan Zheng said: "Send me the address, we will go over immediately, remember to tell the doctor, under the condition of ensuring the safety of adults, we must try our best to save the child." ”
"Okay, got it." Perimeter Lin hurriedly followed the ambulance to the hospital.
The doctor came out of the emergency room after a while, and Zhou Jie Lin went over and asked, "Doctor, how is Liu Huiyuan?" The doctor took off his mask and said, "Eh, are you her husband?" ”
"Well, I'm not." Perimeter Lin was extremely anxious in his heart.
"You're not miserable and what?" The doctor said angrily.
"Doctor, we are her colleagues, and she is our very important witness. ”
"It doesn't matter what you have to do with her, it's useless, now it's one corpse and two lives, and this matter must be told to her husband or parents." The doctor's tone was also extremely tough.
Guan Zheng walked in and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
The doctor looked at Guan Zheng and said, "Who are you?" ”
Guan Zheng showed his ID and said: "Hello, I am the captain of the Nanyi Criminal Police Brigade, Liu Huiyuan's direct boss, her parents are out of town, her husband has just died, I can make any decision, I will bear all the consequences alone, and it has nothing to do with the hospital." ”
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said: "That's the case, the maternal situation is more urgent, we found that the mother has gestational hypertension, combined with proteinuria, in this trauma, due to high blood pressure caused by cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage has become a more widespread acute and severe disease, our country because of cerebral hemorrhage every year because of the death of about 20 percent of all disease deaths, so cerebral hemorrhage is very dangerous." As a grade IV patient, we are unable to perform surgery because of the short bleeding time, heavy bleeding, rapid progression, and long brain herniation formation. The patient is temporarily in a coma, although out of danger of life, voluntary movement is lost, and the patient may be in a state of PVS at any time. ”
The doctor was stunned by the technical terminology, and Zhou Jielin did not understand the logical relationship in the doctor's words, and asked: "What does the PVS state mean?" ”
Guan Zheng explained: "It's a vegetative person. Everyone was silent, and Guan Zheng asked, "Then what is the situation of Liu Huiyuan now?" What about your treatment options? I would like to know the advice of your doctors. ”
