Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 50 - 45: Old-Fashioned Mother-in-Law, Qin Feng’s All-Out Gamble
"Actually, the pregnant woman’s husband knows the situation and also doesn’t want this child, but the wife insists on keeping it, so there’s no other way."
Deputy Director Chen sighed, not knowing what it’s all for.
Is it really because the mother-in-law wants a son, they have to risk death to give birth?
...
Qin Feng didn’t know what to say.
Forget it, this is their family’s private matter, I can’t interfere.
Right now, the most important thing is to save her!
First, we need to safeguard the life of the pregnant woman!
"Talk about the surgery situation."
Qin Feng stepped into the lead surgeon’s position, said with a serious expression.
"Currently, the patient has undergone balloon surgery, established dual venous pathways, and a large amount of blood transfusion.
The fetus has been extracted, but during the cesarean section, the area where the electric knife went deep was blocked by the bladder, causing bleeding in the major blood vessels, luckily it’s been stopped."
Xu Yingying immediately reported the current situation of the surgery,
"Currently, the most critical issues are, one is the placenta has grown into the uterine muscle layer and can’t be extracted, causing massive bleeding during the attempt to peel off the placenta, the suction device couldn’t keep up, fresh blood directly obscured the surgical field, with an average bleeding rate of 1000ml per minute."
Qin Feng took a deep breath after hearing it, this is really dangerous!
"How much backup blood is left?"
"Now there’s 2000 left, someone has already been sent to the blood bank to prepare 3000."
He nodded at the news, this blood reserve should be enough.
He glanced at the opened abdominal cavity of the pregnant woman, now it looked like a pool of blood, continuously gushing.
That scene, most people simply couldn’t bear it!
And there is no surgical room at all, it’s impossible to manually detach the placenta.
Rushing into surgery may even cause more severe consequences!
Since the placenta has grown into the uterine muscle layer, it’s essentially integrated, trying to detach it would be like pulling out a radish with soil, only possible to uproot it entirely!
Qin Feng glanced at the examination images, a three-dimensional distribution chart of the uterus, placenta, bladder, and veins and arteries quickly formed in his mind.
He needed to choose the most effective solution quickly, not a moment to waste.
Currently, only two options were prioritized, the first is to continue forcibly detaching the placenta from the uterus, relying on backup blood!
The drawback of this method is the bleeding speed is too fast, providing no good surgical view, peeling off is very difficult.
The second method is more straightforward, remove the entire uterus!
Solve all problems in one go!
But the pregnant woman will completely lose her uterus and fertility in the future, and lose some uterine-related female functions as well.
Including menstruation, regulating endocrine with estrogen, and so on, leading to major long-term sequelae.
"Qin Feng, if you can’t come up with a good method, we can only remove the entire uterus, saving the life is the priority!"
Xu Yingying saw he was still, said urgently with seriousness.
"Wait a moment."
Qin Feng took a deep breath, raised his hand, reached into the pregnant woman’s abdominal cavity, began probing,
"I’m still uncertain whether I can detach the placenta, but let the family know first and have them sign the informed consent regarding uterine removal to avoid trouble."
"I’ll handle this."
Deputy Director Chen volunteered, spoke up, then walked out with a nurse.
It’s better if she handled this kind of task.
At this moment,
Qin Feng’s hand had approximately surveyed the situation inside the abdominal cavity entirely.
The placenta’s growth within the uterine muscle layer was roughly an irregular oval shape of 10*12.
The detached area had reached nearly one-fifth of the entire placenta.
One hemorrhage outlet had already been pressed firmly by a nurse, not daring to slight at all, currently there’s no way to stop the bleeding, once relaxed slightly, blood would spray like a fountain.
"I haven’t found other hemorrhage outlets, they are really too concealed."
Xu Yingying said beside him.
Qin Feng nodded slightly, eyes narrowed, his palm gradually moved through the blood, feeling the flow carefully.
Such a massive amount of bleeding indicates the damaged blood vessel definitely isn’t small.
With the primary hemorrhage outlet being controlled as much as possible, the internal blood flow became relatively visible.
He inherited so much world-class experience, his hands’ sensitivity was multiple times greater than that of a normal person.
A minute...
Two minutes...
Found it!
A similar volume of 2000ml fell, Qin Feng’s eyes snapped open, turned his arm lightly, two fingers clamped instantaneously on the bleeding vessel.
"Hemostatic clamp!"
Qin Feng promptly spoke, received the hemostatic clamp, probed into the blood-filled cavity, and clamped the vessel.
This position indeed was too hidden!
Vzzz vzzz vzzz~
The suction device started quickly sucking out blood, the blood volume in the cavity rapidly began to decline. Gradually exposing a certain surgical view.
But there were seepage indications in the cavity, indicating other hemorrhage outlets still exist.
With the placenta’s large area in the uterine muscle layer, detachment easily touched upon vessels, which was quite common.
Standing beside him, Xu Yingying finally exhaled a breath.
"Okay, start stopping the bleed, hand it over."
Qin Feng took the larger hemostatic clamp, began trying to clamp the vessel under the nurse’s hand.
Since the hemorrhage outlet needed manual compression to stop bleeding, but this occupied some surgical view, using a hemostatic clamp is necessary to move the hand away, to avoid obstructing the lead surgeon.
But once the hand relaxed, blood crazily spurted out, instantly obscuring the view.
This is quite tricky!
Qin Feng attempted multiple times, failed to successfully clamp the vessel each time, the last 3000ml reserve blood had already been replenished.
"It’s really troublesome."
He frowned slightly, couldn’t help saying.
Despite inheriting so much world-class experience, surgeries are inherently unpredictable, accidents often outnumber solutions.
"If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to remove the uterus."
Xu Yingying was equally distressed watching from the side, looking up at the blood supply and said,
"Anyway, the child has already been born safely. The massive hemorrhage just now was like a fountain, you wouldn’t believe it, the blood stream was as thick as a finger.
If it continues, within just a few minutes, all the blood in the body would be expelled!
If there’s no way to stop the bleeding, the only option left would be to remove the entire uterus, we won’t be able to prevent it."
At this moment,
outside the operating room,
the pregnant woman’s husband and mother-in-law adamantly refused to agree to remove the uterus.
Especially the mother-in-law!
"No way! Remove the uterus? Then my daughter-in-law won’t be able to have children anymore? I don’t agree!"
A woman who looked around sixty exploded after hearing Chen Yuanfang’s explanation,
"She’s only given us one boy, what if we want more children in the future?
It was agreed before that she would give us two sons! I don’t agree to remove the uterus!
Son, say something!"
The man’s expression was filled with dilemma and helplessness, as if caught in a struggle.
"Your wife’s life is in your hands now. If you want to keep the uterus, the risk is very high. You have to bear the consequences."
Deputy Director Chen Yuanfang heard the old woman’s words, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the man and said,
"Regarding the surgical plan, you choose, she’s your wife."
...
The man was silent, while the mother-in-law continued to resist on the side.
"I’m telling you! If you can’t preserve my daughter-in-law’s uterus, I’ll definitely sue your hospital!"
"What kind of hospital are you running with no skills? Quacks! All quacks!"
"If my daughter-in-law has any problems, I won’t let you off the hook!"
...
"Enough!"
Right when Chen Yuanfang and the nurse next to him couldn’t take it anymore, the man suddenly shouted holding the surgical notice form,
"You only know about boys, boys! If Jingjing loses her life, what’s the use?"
This loud roar instantly startled the woman, causing her to tremble and stop immediately.
She looked at the man in shock, then directly sat on the ground, crying loudly.
"Oh~ I’ve raised you to this age, and this is how you treat me!"
"It’s truly an unfortunate family! Old man, look at your son!"
...
Scribble scribble scribble~
The man’s expression twisted with a hint of anger, picked up the pen and directly signed his name on the critical condition notice.
"Doctor, please save Jingjing, I can’t be without her!"
After speaking, the man gripped Chen Yuanfang’s hands tightly, his face flushed with urgency.
"Alright, don’t worry."
Chen Yuanfang looked at the man, nodded and said solemnly.
He glanced at the woman still crying loudly on the floor and a cold sneer rose in his heart.
Old beliefs kill people!
Being a woman too, why harm another woman?
Especially when she’s your son’s beloved.
Alas.....
Immediately,
The two turned into the operating room.
Inside the operating room, the pregnant woman had already lost over 3000ml of blood, with only 2000ml of stored blood remaining.
The units used now are ml, different from cc used for fresh blood, normally each person donates about 200ml of fresh blood, and now adding up to the previously lost 5000ml.
That means, with the bleeding not yet stopped, nearly 30 people’s donated blood had been used.
That’s why many hospitals refer to the blood bank as the gold treasury.
No other way!
"Qin Feng, the family has agreed!"
About two minutes later, Chen Yuanfang returned again.
"Great, Qin Feng, proceed with the removal, it can’t be delayed any longer!"
Upon hearing Deputy Director Chen’s words, Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said.
Actually, in her heart, she had given up.
Now the detachment progress hadn’t reached even a third, it had already fallen into an irretrievable situation.
"Wait!"
Qin Feng shook his head, said solemnly.
He wasn’t ready to give up!
The uterus is a woman’s most important organ, besides reproduction, its functions are irreplaceable!
After all, the pregnant woman is not yet 35, her future path is still long.
If the uterus is removed now, the rest of her life would be spent amidst many complications.
As always, a doctor has a benevolent heart!
He wanted to give it a try!
"What are you going to do? Qin Feng, don’t act recklessly!"
Xu Yingying changed her expression upon hearing this, quickly stopped him.
She’s been in obstetrics for so many years, she’s seen all kinds of situations, now wasn’t the time for choice.
Even if Director Wang were here, he would probably decisively opt to remove the uterus.
Life is crucial!
"If we can’t stop the bleeding, then manually compress!"
Qin Feng’s voice suddenly turned firm, his eyes filled with determination,
"Dr. Xu, take over the compression at the bleeding site, I’ll continue separating the remaining placenta. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Only when it becomes absolutely irretrievable, then remove the uterus, trust me!"
