When the older midwife heard this, she immediately answered: "I have been delivering babies all my life. I have seen this situation several times, and it was always difficult to deliver, and no one survived."
Yuan Qiu frowned, shook his head and said: "Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. You do as I say, and I will keep them safe, mother and son."
The midwife obviously didn't believe it, her eyes widened and she said, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, this is a matter of life and death."
Yuan Qiu looked at the water stains on the bed and said, "The amniotic fluid has broken. Time is running out. How can I, a doctor, make fun of human life?"
When the two midwives saw that Yuan Qiu's expression was calm, unhurried, and coherent when she spoke, and her eyes were unwavering, they involuntarily chose to believe her and prepared everything as she said.
At this time, Yuan Qiu had already taken out a scalpel specially made by a blacksmith in Xiaoyuan Town. Although there was still a certain gap between it and modern scalpels, it was still very sharp and sufficient for surgery.
Coupled with the catgut and anesthesia prepared earlier, it was still possible to have a caesarean section.
The lighting in the room was not good, so she asked the two midwives to light many candles to illuminate the room brightly.
The anesthetic has been used and the woman has fallen into a deep sleep. Yuan Qiu holds the scalpel in his hand, his eyes sharp and his expression focused.
Seeing Yuan Qiu's appearance, the young midwife was so frightened that she quickly held Yuan Qiu's wrist: "What are you going to do?"
"Have a caesarean section to retrieve the baby. Let go quickly. There is no time. If you delay it any longer, the baby will die."
The midwife's eyes bulged in shock and she shouted, "If you cut her belly, wouldn't she die?"
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "I just performed a caesarean section to remove the child, not to kill her. Once the child is taken out, she will wake up naturally. Apart from leaving a scar on her abdomen, it will have no impact on her. Please let go."
Although the midwife didn't believe what Yuan Qiu said, she didn't have the slightest idea now. She had the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, thinking that she might be able to save the child, at least not killing two people, so she let go.
Yuan Qiu's technique is skillful, and the amount of bleeding is very small with one cut. This is a valuable experience accumulated from many years of clinical knife handling.
If she had a scalpel handy, she could even make one cut without seeing any blood at the edge.
The baby was in the transverse position, which is a very rare fetal position. With the amniotic fluid broken, it was almost impossible to have a normal delivery. It was even more difficult to survive by relying only on the midwife. Heavy bleeding was only a matter of time. With the current condition At the medical level, the only consequence of a hemorrhage is death.
Although the two midwives were used to seeing blood, they had never seen such a bloody thing. The story of seppuku and childbirth, which only existed in legendary books, actually appeared before their eyes.
After the abdomen was opened, the uterus was opened again, and the baby was right in front of him. However, the baby's skin color was no longer pink, but purple, and his body was not alive at all. Yuan Qiu frowned, quickly and gently took the baby out of the uterus, and ordered the midwife to cut it. The midwife cut the umbilical cord with trembling hands and said in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid the child is already dead."
Yuan Qiu put the child on the quilt that had been laid out long ago, kept pressing the child's chest with his fingers, and then performed artificial respiration. He repeated this for more than ten times. The child finally recovered his heartbeat, and his little hands began to move, and he breathed out Weak whimpering, although weak, but still alive.
"Wrap it up!" She handed the baby to the stunned midwife, turned around and came to the mother, and started the final cleaning work. Another midwife was assisting, watching her skillfully sewing up the incision with needle and thread. The appearance is as skillful and elegant as a girl pointing her finger like a dragon in front of the embroidery frame.
