The newborn score is also called the Apgar score, and the Chinese translation is the "Apgar" score. It is a standard assessment method for checking a child's physical condition immediately after birth. After the child is born, it is based on skin color, heart rate, respiration, and muscle tone.
and five physical signs of movement and reflexes are scored. A newborn with a score of ten or less is considered a normal newborn, a newborn with a score of less than seven points is considered to have mild asphyxia, and a score of less than four points is considered to have severe asphyxia. Most newborns have scores of more than
Between seven and ten. She just said that when the child was born, the score was zero, which means that the child was almost close to death when he was born. But now it has stabilized at around five, which already means that the child
The current situation is very bad. Generally speaking, in a situation like this, the possibility of a child developing cerebral palsy or other serious problems in the future is very high. In other words, the child born to Yu Min is very likely to have lifelong problems.
disabled.
I was in an extremely bad mood, but I had to ask Director Qiao, "Have you told him about this situation?"
I'm referring to Yu Min's husband, because it's him I'm pointing at right now.
Director Qiao said: "I have told him, but the mother has not yet passed the anesthesia, so I cannot inform her of this situation yet."
I looked at Yu Min's man and said, "Then you must be mentally prepared."
He said: "The child is ours, and I will raise him. My wife has been hospitalized in your hospital before, and the doctor told her that the possibility of her being able to conceive a child is very small. Therefore, no matter what kind of condition the child will have in the future,
We will raise him up no matter what the situation is. Doctor, do you have any good ideas? Can we prevent our children from being in such a situation in the future?"
At this time, my heart was cramping, but it was impossible to express this pain. I could only say to him with a heavy look: "We will try our best. Don't worry."
Then I asked Director Qiao, "Whose hospital bed will this patient be placed in?"
She replied: "Just arrange it on my hospital bed. Is that okay?"
I nodded, "This is best."
But the man asked: "Doctor, I heard that you have a single ward here. I want my wife and child to live in a single ward. Is that okay?"
Director Qiao said immediately: "The cost will be very high."
He said: "As long as my wife and children are healthy, it doesn't matter how much money I spend."
Director Qiao came to see me, and I immediately said, "Try your best to arrange it."
She nodded, and then took the man out. I thought blankly in the office for a long time, and my heart was still tingling. Yu Min... the child...
Now I suddenly remembered why Yu Min was in this situation. Obviously, she was going to the bank to check the money, which led to such a result. She was already a pregnant woman who was due to give birth, but when she encountered this
I felt anxious after what happened, and I must have been running to the bank in a hurry.
I blame myself very much, because I should have thought that such a situation might occur. I am an obstetrician and gynecologist! However, I just forgot! Why did I forget? There is only one reason, and that is to try to get away.
By the way, Feng Xiao, why are you such a bastard?!
The child... I don't know if it is a boy or a girl... At this moment, I suddenly remembered such a thing. However, when things are like this, does it matter whether it is a boy or a girl?
Cerebral palsy! This terrible word suddenly appeared in my mind, cerebral palsy...
Cerebral palsy, also known as cerebral palsy, is a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage and developmental defects from conception to infancy. It is mainly characterized by movement disorders and abnormal postures. It is often combined with intellectual disability, epilepsy, sensory impairment, and communication disorder.
, behavioral abnormalities and other abnormalities. Neonatal hypoxia before birth is one of the main causes of neonatal cerebral palsy.
Yu Min was in such a situation. Obviously, her amniotic fluid ruptured on the way to the bank, which caused the child's hypoxia, and later hemorrhage. The situation at that time had actually become very serious.
It was serious. Fortunately, the people from the bank rushed her to the hospital immediately, and I guess it was at a bank near us. Otherwise, the child would not have survived.
I don't know whether the current result is a good thing or a bad thing for Yu Min, but one thing is certain, that is, this child will have a very unfortunate life.
I can't sit here anymore, I want to see the child! I want to give the child a comprehensive examination!
Yes, I must go right away! Because Yu Min is out of danger now, but the child is not!
The child was in the emergency room. When I entered, the pediatrician of the hospital was examining the child. It was our department that invited pediatric experts for consultation. I was even more ashamed because in my panic, I even forgot about this matter. It was obvious.
,This consultation was arranged by Director Qiao.
"How is it?" I asked the consulting doctor, trying my best to keep calm.
"The situation is not very good." The doctor replied, "The muscle tone is very poor, and the cry is not loud. The skin is bruised, and the heartbeat is not particularly good."
I saw it, it was a boy. The child's skin was indeed blue and purple, and there were many wrinkles on his face. His hair was very thick, and there was still fine hair under the hairline of a normal child, but judging from the child's appearance
There are vague signs of Yu Min, especially on the child's nose and mouth.
"Is there any good way?" I felt very uncomfortable, but I couldn't help but ask. This is what I want to know the most. Although I am an obstetrician and gynecologist, I am not special about pediatrics.
of mastery.
The doctor said: "Right now, only temporary drug treatment can be carried out, mainly using some neurotrophic drugs, amino acids, vitamins, etc. First, let the child return to a normal reaction state as much as possible. It is not yet possible to fully evaluate the damage to the child's brain.
, we have to wait until he grows up and then observe. If there are symptoms of epilepsy in the future, epilepsy-related treatment will be carried out. If there is joint deformity, surgery can be performed. Maybe when the child gets older, the development of world medicine will be
It’s hard to say whether a disease like this can be completely and completely treated.”
His answer made me frown. In fact, I knew everything he said, and it was a completely professional, impeccable and unemotional answer from a doctor. This is how I often answer my patients.
I didn't expect to hear such a response today regarding this child's condition. I won't blame the doctor, because what he said is indeed correct, and people don't know that this child is actually my child.
"Thank you for coming to the consultation." I could only say this.
The doctor smiled and said: "Director Feng is so polite. Our pediatric department has a long-term relationship with your obstetrics and gynecology department. Is this pregnant woman a relative of yours?"
I nodded and said, "Yes."
The doctor sighed: "If something like this happens, there is no other way. It's good that the child can survive now. Director Feng, I think so, transfer the child to our department, maybe something will happen."
Miracles are hard to say."
Of course I would not think that he made this suggestion to me for the benefit of the department. After all, I had already accepted that the child's mother was my relative, and the equipment and technology in the pediatric department were more conducive to the child's healthy recovery.
So I nodded and said: "This is the best way, but this matter must be discussed with the child's parents."
The doctor smiled and said: "Of course. I will tell them myself."
I hurriedly said: "I'd better go discuss it with them."
The main reason why I stopped the doctor was because I was worried that he would spill the beans in front of Yu Min’s man, because Yu Min’s man didn’t know that there was a so-called “relative” like me.
When I left the emergency room, Yu Min had already been placed in a single ward. Director Qiao's movements were really fast. I have one more comment on her: she is a fierce and impatient woman.
After entering, Yu Min's man was not found. Yu Min was lying there on the bed, seemingly sleeping soundly. It was obvious that she had been brought here by a nurse on a stretcher or operating cart.
Her face was no longer as pale as before. I saw a blood bag hanging on the IV stand.
I couldn't help but call her softly, "Yu Min..."
She didn't wake up.
So I called her softly again, slightly louder: "Yu Min..."
She still didn't answer me. At this time, Yu Min's man came in from outside, sweating profusely. He asked me: "Doctor, I went to the admission office to pay the money. What happened?"
To be honest, I still felt very guilty in front of this man, "Well, the pediatric experts just came to consult the child. They recommended that the child be sent to the pediatrician for observation and treatment, so I am here to ask for your opinion.
"
After thinking for a while, he said: "Since it is the opinion of a pediatrician, of course we have to listen to it. After all, that place is dedicated to treating children."
I nodded, "Okay, I'll go talk to the pediatrician right now, but you have to sign the relevant procedures later. There's nothing you can do, this is the hospital's rule."
He said: "Okay."
So I turned around to go out, but suddenly I heard him calling me from behind: "Doctor..."
I immediately turned around and looked at him, and found that he was looking at me with a weak look, "Doctor, I want to see the child. Is that okay?"
I was startled and then said to him: "Come with me."
I took him to the rescue room again and found that the child had been placed in the incubator.
"The child's parents agreed." I said to the pediatrician.
He said: "Okay, then you go through the formalities quickly and send it over as soon as possible. I will go back and arrange the incubator first, and prescribe the child's medicine by the way, so that the infusion can be started directly."
