Chapter 10 Forceps

Because if you don't do this multiple-choice question, then both the mother and the fetus may not be saved! Because the fetus is stuck in the uterine opening, the mother is bleeding, and the bleeding may be excessive at any time, and the fetus may also suffocate.

But sometimes, some things are so magical, and many times, problems that cannot be solved by high-precision science and technology may be solved by a simple tool.

At a time when the entire medical community was helpless against the medical problem of dystocia, which had a high mortality rate, the invention of a simple gadget saved the lives of countless mothers and fetuses.

This simple tool is called: forceps.

The shape of the forceps resembles a large bread tong, but it has a bit of a strange shape, the back half is like scissors, the front half is larger than the bread tong, and the clips are large, hollow, and the two huge clips are slightly curved inward.

How to use forceps?

It's very simple, that is, the forceps are inserted into the birth canal, clamping the head of the dystocia fetus, and the two clips of the forceps just wrap the baby's head, and then the midwife pinches the back half of the forceps like scissors, and then pulls it out little by little, just like when we go to the bakery and use bread tongs to clip the bread out of the cupboard.

Why does dystocia occur? Isn't it because the mother doesn't have the strength to get the baby out of her birth canal?

The appearance of forceps adds an extra pull in addition to the mother's own force, so that the fetus is born more easily.

To use an inappropriate analogy: an old man pushes a cart, the old man himself because of his weakness, the strength is not enough, the cart is very difficult, if there is a trench in front, then it is difficult for the car to take a step forward, if there are pedestrians passing by at this time, pull this heavy cart in front, then the cart is easy to pass through this trench.

In other words, when the thrust is not enough, add a pull force, so that the delivery of the fetus is much easier.

The fetus that a woman encounters when giving birth is too large, or the fetal position is not correct, just like the ditch encountered by the old man when pushing a cart.

Forceps is a midwifery family invented by a family called Chamberlain in the sixteenth century in England, since the invention of forceps, the maternal dystocia mortality rate delivered by the Chamberlain family has been reduced from 15% to 1%, many local British people found that the success rate of the mother and child delivered by the Chamberlain family is very high, and the locals have paid a high price to invite the Chamberlain family to deliver the baby, and the Chamberlain family has made a lot of money and is rich in the UK.

You may not have any idea of the numbers from 15% to 1%, let's take an example, at the beginning of World War II, when the Soviet army was crushed by the German army, Stalin issued a military order: if the soldiers escaped again, after being caught, one out of ten people would be shot by lot. As soon as this military order was issued, the Soviet army could immediately withstand the attack of the German army, and this military order was to use their one-tenth chance of death to deter the soldiers' desire to escape.

How can a 10% dystocia mortality rate, which is higher than this 15% shooting rate, not be frightening?

And how can it not be a great invention to reduce the mortality rate from 15% to 1%?

It's just that no one could have imagined that such a great invention would be just a small deformation of a pliers.

So some people have to ask, why was the forceps invented in the 16th century, and Princess Charlotte in the 19th century would give birth to a child for four days and four nights, and died of dystocia?

There are two reasons for this:

First, in order to make money, the Chamberlain family kept the secret of forceps secret for three generations, up to more than 100 years.

Second, after the secret of forceps was made public, it was not taken seriously, because the Chamberlain family was not a family of midwives trained by the mainstream medical community, and the mainstream medical community at that time rejected the use of forceps, believing that such a gadget could not help deliver babies.

In modern times, forceps have been a necessary midwifery tool in the obstetric operating room, of course, modern forceps have evolved into dozens of shapes, designed for different dystocia, in the current European and American countries, dystocia mortality has been reduced to 0.3%.

Although forceps are already a very common obstetric midwifery tool in the world, in this other world, forceps have not yet appeared.

What, you ask, why did Ziggy know about forceps as an obstetric tool?

Nonsense, what information is not available in the Internet era? The amount of information in the Internet age is so abundant that people living in any previous era cannot imagine.

As big as how the satellite goes to the sky, as small as the small simple tool of forceps, can be seen on the Internet, and we do not need to take the initiative to consult, many circle of friends push, many website publicity, will automatically send this information to us, enrich our knowledge stock.

That's the advantage of people living in the age of the internet!

Obviously, the mother Andreina, who delivered the wife of the blacksmith Finn, could not have known how to use forceps, otherwise she would not have asked "to protect the adult or the child".

From the dejected appearance of the blacksmith Finn, we know that this rugged and strong man full of muscles is a good man who loves his wife.

"Mama Andrena, I don't understand what you say, how to protect adults and children?"

Then Lady Andreina whispered a few words in the ear of Finn, the blacksmith, and then Finn, the blacksmith, went mad and threw himself hysterically on the wall of his blacksmith's shop.

"Belinda, my Belinda! no! don't!" the blacksmith Fein hysterically pounded his own hands against the wall, tears streaming down his eyes, unwilling to accept such a reality.

Seeing this scene, some of the surrounding Grizzly Village villagers also secretly wiped their tears, and it seems that difficult childbirth often happens in Grizzly Village.

At the same time, Ziggy noticed that the villagers of Grizzly Village were also very united, and several male villagers of Grizzly Village walked up to Blacksmith Finn, patted him on the shoulder, and softly comforted him, as if these male villagers who came to comfort Blacksmith Finn had also experienced such a choice, and were encouraging Blacksmith Finn to face reality, but Blacksmith Finn did not appreciate it at all, and pushed the male villager away from his side, and then hugged his knees with both heads, buried his head in his arms, squatted in the corner, and couldn't stop crying.

Blacksmith Finn completely lost the courage to face the facts, Mama Andreina was actually anxious, Blacksmith Finn's wife Belinda had been giving birth for eight hours, and a whole night had passed, while everyone was sleeping, Belinda had experienced eight hours of labor pain, let alone rest, so blacksmith Finn's wife Belinda would die of dystocia sooner or later.

Belinda, as a blacksmith's wife, is still physically strong, and she is still relatively mental, but the time can't be delayed too long, the most troublesome thing now is that the blacksmith Finn has a tendency to collapse mentally, and no one can replace the blacksmith Finn with the choice of "protecting the adult or the child", because no one can decide the life and death of these two living lives, only the blacksmith Finn as the most direct relative can decide, otherwise the blacksmith Finn will be blamed in the future, isn't it thankless?
