At this moment, the pregnant woman's face was pale and the pain was unbearable. Zhou Qiao originally wanted her to lie down, but she could no longer lie down, so she could only struggle to get up and sit upright. Her face and forehead were covered with sweat or rain. .
Zhou Qiao wiped her with a tissue, which was cold and cold.
Uncle Loya was startled: "Your wife is only 29 weeks old, right? If she gives birth now, it will be premature! Mary~, Mary~" He shouted towards the door, Mary was Luo Ya's aunt.
But it was windy and rainy, so my aunt might be upstairs and didn't hear her.
Luo Ya said: "I'll call you."
She ran out in a hurry, and after a while, her fat aunt Mary came in a hurry. While rushing, she was wearing a nurse's uniform and murmuring: "Poor Tracy, oh, my poor baby..."
Then, start taking the pregnant woman’s blood pressure.
As for Uncle Luo Ya, he ran to bring a portable B-mode ultrasound to examine the mother.
Clinics in this small town don’t have supporting commercial testing centers like those in San Francisco, so they basically have to rely on themselves.
Luo Ya's aunt will even do routine blood and urine tests. Use purchased kits and instruments.
Medical resources in the United States are actually extremely unevenly distributed. Like China, they are all concentrated in big cities.
"Paul, the situation is not good," Aunt Loya looked solemn and stopped chattering, "Tracy's blood pressure continues to rise. The diastolic blood pressure was only 93 just now, and now it is over 100. Oh, my God, It jumped again, 102! 103... 112!"
Mayor Kevin quickly said from the side: "My wife was diagnosed with high blood pressure during her prenatal check-up in Houston. At that time, the high blood pressure was 150 and the low blood pressure was 110 mmHg. In addition, her blood sugar was also high."
"Oh my God," Aunt Loya couldn't help but started to babble again, "This is gestational hypertension and diabetes! Poor Tracy, poor baby..."
Uncle Luo Ya frowned and asked, "Besides these, are there any other situations?"
My heart said, never do it again! Otherwise, how can I, a small clinic, handle this? I am not a famous doctor in a big hospital. My conditions here are that I can only treat minor illnesses!
Who knows, what are you afraid of? Mayor Kevin said: "I went for a checkup last week, and it seems that the doctor said she had preeclampsia!"
As soon as these words came out, even Zhou Qiao took a breath!
The so-called gestational eclampsia refers to dizziness, headache, sudden unconsciousness, upward gaze, twitching of hands and feet, body rigidity, sudden awakening after a short time, recurrence after waking up, and even coma. The disease is called "eclampsia", also known as "pregnancy epilepsy".
Pregnancy eclampsia develops from an exacerbation of the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia.
Eclampsia can occur during pregnancy, delivery or within 24 hours after delivery. It is called prepartum eclampsia, intrapartum eclampsia and postpartum eclampsia respectively. It is one of the four leading causes of death in obstetrics!
Once it occurs, maternal and fetal complications and mortality will increase significantly!
Once eclampsia occurs in pregnant women, it is very dangerous and the mortality rate is extremely high!
There was a strong wind and rain outside, and a hurricane was blowing from the sea, but inside the clinic, Uncle Loya couldn't help but sit down on the ground, and then quickly got up again!
Because, not only was she pregnant with eclampsia, Uncle Loya also found on the B-ultrasound that there was a 13.6cm╳9.5cm mass in Tracy’s left liver area. In addition, she also had “complete placenta previa”!
I don’t know what the mass is. There is no CT here, so I can’t confirm it further.
But placenta previa is quite dangerous!
This means that the placenta is located in front of the fetus, on this side of the cervical canal.
Under normal circumstances, the placenta is usually attached to the bottom of the uterus, behind the fetus, usually on the front or back wall. If it is placenta previa, it is usually in front of the fetus. Complete placenta previa means that the placenta completely blocks the cervix. Living!
This is a very serious disease, because after the third trimester of pregnancy, the uterus will contract. At this time, the placenta will separate from the cervix, and heavy bleeding will occur!
"Oh my God!" Uncle Luo Ya was stunned! Simply overwhelmed!
With so many serious lesions put together, he is a small-town doctor with average medical skills. He usually only treats colds and fevers, and treats simple trauma. The clinic conditions are also average. How can he handle it?
If it were normal, I would refer him immediately without saying anything!
It’s only over a hundred kilometers away from Houston. Whether it’s an ambulance, driving your own car, or calling a medical helicopter for rescue, you can get there quickly!
Mayor Kevin is not short of money either!
However, who would have expected that the disease would collide with such severe hurricane weather?
Mayors Tracy and Kevin also regretted it very much. They had driven to Houston for prenatal check-ups before. When they felt it was inconvenient, they discussed and wanted to move to Houston.
However, Mayor Kevin has always been reluctant to part with his "ancestral business"!
The town of Ellot has been here ever since his great-grandfather was the mayor. Several generations of people bought and accumulated bit by bit. By his generation, almost all the land and industries here belonged to their family!
How can we say that if we give up, we will give up?
Besides, he always felt that as long as he had a car and a plane, wouldn't it be easy to go to Houston? It only takes more than an hour!
However, what happened has happened, and it’s too late to regret!
Mayor Kevin begged and said, "Paul, Paul, please be kind and save my wife and child! This is our first child!"
Pregnant woman Tracy's face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, and she was also very scared. She had begun to lose consciousness and was hallucinating!
Uncle Luo Ya: "..."
There was silence in the clinic.
Zhou Qiao suddenly spoke and said: "The mass in her left liver area is probably the liver capsule, and it has been bleeding heavily! It must be operated on as soon as possible!"
Luo Ya's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Zhou Qiao.
Uncle Luo Ya and Mayor Kevin also looked over in surprise. They didn't know why Zhou Qiao would express his opinion. Could it be that he was also a doctor?
Luo Ya was next to Zhou Qiao. At this time, she came closer and asked in a low voice: "Can you handle it?"
Zhou Qiao nodded, but then shook his head and said: "Whether it can be done or not, I think we should try it. The most suitable solution now is cesarean section and surgery!"
Uncle Luo Ya was very embarrassed and said: "I have never had a cesarean section, and the operating room conditions here are very limited!"
Zhou Qiao took a deep breath and said: "I am a doctor. I have a decent-sized clinic in San Francisco and I have performed cesarean sections before!"
In fact, he didn't. However, I have accumulated a lot of medical mystical points these days, and I can easily acquire master-level medical skills!
He doesn't want to be brave, or show off, or show off his skills, and there is no benefit, but in this situation, as a doctor, he has grown up under the red flag, and he really can't stand by and watch!
Zhou Qiao is not a saint, he is very perverted and carefree, but apart from this shortcoming, he seems to be pretty good in other aspects.
Uncle Luo Ya hesitated, and Mayor Kevin also hesitated. After all, Zhou Qiao was too young! Is it okay to be so young?
Mayor Kevin feels that Dr. Paul is more reliable, after all, he is old and bald.
Zhou Qiao is a Chinese, and he does not know the level of Chinese medical skills!
"If you do it, there is a chance of survival. If you don't do it, the mother and fetus may not be able to survive the hurricane! The situation of pregnant women is quite serious. You should make your own decision." If the patient's family does not agree, there is nothing he can do.
Moreover, he cannot take this risk.
