That is, after the pregnant woman's breathing and heartbeat stop, the fetus can survive for about thirty minutes. But waiting for thirty minutes to rescue the fetus is too late. Because four or five minutes after the death of the pregnant woman, the fetus's brain cells will be tolerant to ischemia and hypoxia.
Poor sex can lead to irreversible brain damage, and the fetus taken out may go directly to brain death.
Based on this situation, once a pregnant woman's breathing and heartbeat stop, and the doctor continues to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the pregnant woman for four minutes and fails to restore the pregnant woman's spontaneous circulation, immediate cesarean section must be considered to remove the fetus. Especially for the woman who is already thirty years old.
For pregnant women who are many weeks old, a cesarean section or even a hysterectomy if necessary is very helpful in saving the lives of both the pregnant woman and the fetus.
Surgery requires the consent of the patient's family.
The doctors and nurses on duty here finally knew what the tertiary doctors had come to rescue. The nurses ran out to prepare emergency surgical supplies.
Dr. Hu turned around and walked out from the emergency room curtain to speak to the patient's family.
I can't see with my eyes. At this time, I dare to talk directly to my family members who may lose control of their emotions at any time. I have to sigh with emotion at the terrifying courage of the clinical boss. The patient's husband was restlessly waiting for news about his wife outside. When he heard that the doctor was out, he immediately became upset.
He walked over and asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?"
How should the doctor tell the news that the patient is about to die at this time? The doctor on duty at the health center ran away when he saw this, fearing that the family members would break down and grab the doctor and call for him. The main reason is that in such an emergency, one person and two people may die, and the patient
The family should not be mentally prepared to accept the bad news.
Dr. Hu's eyes were so blurry that she couldn't distinguish the expressions on the family members' faces, and her ears could hear that the family members were almost going crazy. She opened her mouth and said directly without hesitation: "Your wife is probably hopeless. So.
, we are going to perform a cesarean section on her now."
"I know, doctor, please operate on her and save her."
"Listen to me. We can only try our best to remove the child from her belly. Whether the child can survive after rescuing it depends on the subsequent situation. I hope you will agree immediately to let us perform surgery on your wife.
A cesarean section is the last chance to save the baby in her belly."
"What do you mean, doctor?" After hearing these words, the patient's husband's throat trembled, "What do you think happened to my wife? What kind of child? Make no mistake, save my wife first!"
"It can't be saved." Dr. Hu spat out these three words, carrying out her principle of always putting science first. She had no time to think about how to be considerate of the family members like the saint Du Haiwei.
The patient's husband grabbed Dr. Hu's arms and his whole body was shaking with excitement: "You, say it again."
"Let me tell you the truth, at the scene of the car accident, we already discovered that she might have been brain dead on the spot. We rushed her to the hospital not to save her, but to save her while her breathing and circulation had not completely stopped.
's children."
Wow, the patient’s husband cried loudly.
Dr. Hu listened to the cries across from her with an expressionless face. No matter whether her eyes could see or not, she could not deny the reality of what had happened. She had been a doctor for so many years, and she had never seen anything like this before.
It's just that tonight is indeed special. It may be the last night for her to be a doctor and save people. For this reason, she must adhere to medical principles even more.
In medicine, doctors can only save lives that can be saved first, and give up lives that are no longer possible to save.
