Hearing the loud cry of the newborn, Zheng Ren let out a sigh of relief.
He was lying on the ground. Not only was his view of the surgical area restricted, he also couldn't see what Su Yun was doing.
If the child is fine, this "surgery" is more than half successful.
"The gender of the fetus is male, the weight is about 3500g, the apgar score is 9 points in 1 minute, and it is estimated to be 10 points in 5 minutes." Su Yun said very professionally behind Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren hummed, and then began to explore the incision. Seeing no traces of laceration, he took out the placenta that had naturally exfoliated and given birth. Then he hesitated.
Oxytocin should be used at this time to allow the blood vessels to contract and heal naturally.
But neither their team nor the team that arrived first from the military hospital brought oxytocin.
For emergencies, you will definitely not have all the medicines you need.
What to do next
Zheng Ren hesitated for a few seconds, then picked up a portable hemostatic gauze and stuffed it on the wound where the placenta was stripped.
Because pregnant women are frightened and give birth prematurely, it is considered a kind of placental abruption to some extent.
If in the hospital, interventional means can be used to stop the bleeding. Zheng Ren couldn't be more skilled in this kind of surgery.
However, with a lack of medical treatment and medicine, Zheng Ren could only deal with it briefly and then wait for the arrival of the rescue helicopter.
Not counting without an assistant, it can only be handled with one hand.
Not counting one hand, Zheng Ren couldn't even see the complete magic field.
Zheng Ren reluctantly sewed the hemostatic gauze on the wound. Zheng Ren really had no choice.
"Little sister?" Zheng Ren said softly.
"Uncle... is that my brother?" The little girl huddled in a corner of the ruins and asked timidly.
"Yes, your brother is very brave. Can you be as brave as him?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Yes!" the little girl answered in a neither loud nor firm voice. But for Zheng Ren, it was enough.
"There is a pair of scissors here. Do you know what scissors are?"
"Uncle, I know, this is it." The little girl pointed to the blunt scissors on the sterile drape.
"Okay, pick up the scissors gently and be careful not to touch anything else."
"Yes, that's it. You did very well, very well."
After hearing Zheng Ren's encouragement, the little girl seemed to be more courageous and picked up the scissors.
"See this thread? Help uncle cut it," Zheng Ren said.
"Are you going to cut here?" The little girl opened the scissors and lit them from a distance.
"Uh..." If you cut it here, you must leave a long thread. But Zheng Ren thought about it and decided that it didn't matter. Anyway, if the mother could survive to West China, she would still need a second stage of surgery. If death occurs due to infection and toxic shock, it doesn't matter how long the line is left.
"Well, right here, you are really brave and smart." Zheng Ren comforted the little girl.
"My mother said that I am the smartest kid in the class." The little girl tried hard to resist the fear in her heart and got closer to Zheng Ren and the thread knot.
The scissors were shaking so hard that I couldn't bear to watch them.
"Little sister, use both hands and don't shake too much. Uncle knows you are scared, but it's okay. Uncle is here." Zheng Ren said.
The little girl obediently held the scissors with both hands. It was indeed better this time, and the scissors no longer trembled so much.
The knot was cut, and Zheng Ren let out a sigh of relief. There is no 1#0 non-damaging suture, only the simplest 4# thread.
But this is not a problem. Zheng Ren puts the needle holder on the sterile drape, threads the #4 thread into the eye of the needle with one hand, and then skillfully puts his backhand into the mouth of the needle holder and holds it in his hand.
Full-thickness continuous suturing of the uterine incision and continuous suturing of the bladder-peritoneal reflex fold made the little girl much more skilled in thread-cutting.
Checking for no active bleeding is just a habit. Although it was not important in the current situation, Zheng Ren still did it subconsciously. Trying hard to find a glimpse of vision through the narrow gap, Zheng Ren saw the corner of the incision.
The damage is very small and only needs second-stage treatment.
The abdomen was closed layer by layer, and the abdominal incision was still continuously sutured with the #4 thread. After the little girl cut the thread, Zheng Ren finally smiled.
"Little sister, you did a good job." Zheng Ren praised.
"Yeah!" the little girl responded, full of pride.
"Next, you open this. It's surrounded by tape, and stick the white part in the middle to your mother's incision." Zheng Ren instructed.
The little girl is becoming more and more confident and perfect. Although small, in this case, small stature is an advantage.
She quickly followed Zheng Ren's instructions to cover the wound dressing on the incision. Zheng Ren touched her head and said with a smile: "That's great. Just wait here. The uncles will rescue you soon."
The little girl smiled, innocently.
Zheng Ren retracted his hand, the venous return was blocked, and the arteries on the back of his hand and arms bulged like reptiles. The back of my hand has turned purple-red, with soreness, numbness, swelling and pain, and all kinds of sensations.
After moving his numb arms, Zheng Ren saw Su Yun holding the child, surrounded by several tired figures.
In less than 24 hours, these people who rushed into the disaster area witnessed too many tragic scenes and too many human tragedies.
These are like layers of haze, shrouding everyone's hearts.
It was already numb to watch.
The body that was first dug out from the rubble was carried to the ground by two people. Later, one person carried it and left.
No disrespect, everyone is just numb.
With no supplies and waiting for rescue, every minute and every second seems like a year has passed.
The entire rescue team was almost silent until the childish, clear cries sounded from the ruins.
"Find someone to take care of you. Don't be lazy holding the child." Zheng Ren said very directly.
"Hey, don't you think this is new life, this is hope?" Su Yundao said.
"Yes, this is hope. Su Yun, if you hurry up, you may be able to save another person." Zheng Ren began to search in the ruins, following the indistinct calls for help.
Su Yun handed the newborn baby to a female student from the Military Medical University next to him, chattering something about not understanding the charm at all, and began to search for it.
The search and rescue work was extremely difficult.
No tools, no large numbers of people.
The doctors, soldiers and young survivors at the scene were digging with their hands, their fingers dripping with blood, and some could already see the white bones.
After bandaging, the gauze was quickly exposed.
Flesh and gauze were mixed together, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
But no one gave up, and the search and rescue work was still going on with difficulty. Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of other teams and the rescue helicopter.
At this time, only the arrival of helicopters means that the wounded can be transported out of this dead place, and it means that new rescue and medical tools can be transported.
However, when you look up, you can see the sky full of clouds and mist and fine raindrops.
In this case, can the rescue helicopter come
People's thoughts are negative, but no one says it.
Thoughts and hopes, as long as they exist, can support people to move forward step by step.
